Soba Lounge

I visited this restaurant for the first time last weekend, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I will definitely be visiting again. The host was told it was my first time, so she guided us through the restaurant and its layout. We sat outside and our server, Savannah was prompt and attentive. We started with the short rib bao buns (my favorite), pork lettuce wraps, and the Soba California rolls. I absolutely loved my Korean-style Miso halibut. My friend enjoyed their teriyaki glazed Scottish salmon. For dessert, we had the corn mochi crumble. That may have been the best dessert I've ever had. It had texture and fresh, robust flavors. Every part of this culinary experience was wonderful, and I highly recommend it to those wanting a cool date night. The ambiance, music, service and food were all wonderful.

Soba has been a favorite for many years. We visited again on Sunday evening, after not having been to Pittsburgh for several years. The atmosphere is truly extraordinary. It is open, stylish, and inviting. We had cocktails that were exceptionally good. It is pretty easy to find good cocktails, but great cocktails are rare. Soba's cocktails knocked our socks off. My wife and I ordered two appetizers and an entree. The steak kabobs were excellent, particularly the sauce paired with the kabobs. The short ribs with bao buns were very good, though the buns were just a bit dry. Our entree, the Pad Thai with shrimp, chicken, and tofu, was very good, though the chicken was somewhat overcooked. Our server was very good. She got everything right and she was attentive without being overly so. If I were reviewing Soba irrespective of cost, I would give it a five star rating. However, it is pricey. At these price levels, I expect all elements of the experience to be nearly perfect. There are very few restaurants that are this good, but Soba could still do better by paying a little more attention to a few details. Even so, this is probably one of the best restaurants you will experience in Pittsburgh

The food here is fantastic! I've tried a few dishes here and nothing disappointed. I especially love the seared rare tuna. It is delicate and the Korean barbecue sauce works well with the tuna, peanut and sesame. For appetizers the crispy tofu is delicious, as was the tartare. The atmosphere reflects the upscale mood. Well worth a visit!

I visited here for the first time and I will DEFINITELY return. I dined in with a friend and we sat on the terrace. The weather was absolutely beautiful and there was a nice breeze blowing through. We got to watch the sun start to set in the distance. Our server was pleasant and completely attentive throughout our meal. The food was amazing. We had the pork lettuce wraps, fried tofu and the Soba California Roll. The prices were a little high, but given the atmosphere and our entire experience, it was worth it. I highly recommend this place.

The menu price ranges from $20 to $45 depending on the dish. Food is good, portions are reasonable, and the drinks have a kick to it. Crabcake Eggroll - one large eggroll cut in half, lots of crab meat and diced celery. Very tasty just not a large portion for 20 dollars. Double Salmon Roll - This one is very good with large pieces of salmon on top and within, and the jalapeño heat wasn't bad. Korean Style Miso Halibut - the fish is very tender, the Korean rice cake was a little chewy but still tasty, and then there are 3 bit size roast port which are delicious. The problem with this one is the sauce is very salty and sweet because of the miso, which felt like this dish needs to come with white rice on the side. Duck Fried Rice - this is the best dish out of all. Pieces of duck tight was juicy and tender. The rice has duck meat shredded within along with others things like crispy fried onions, and Asian pear mixed in. This is worth the money. Chocolate Maki - the chocolate mousse has a little salty taste to it and wrap around by a black crepe then you dip it in a dark chocolate sauce which balance everything else. This is also my recommendation. So if you are looking for a fancy dark quiet place to dine then I would recommend it. Food is tasty overall, service is very caring, but just don't except a great view or anything. Oh one last thing, to access the bathroom you will need to go down some stairs so take that into consideration when you go here.

Great atmosphere, especially on the lower levels. The food was delicious, the gluten free options are clearly marked in the menu. We ordered Pad Thai and Korean-Style Miso Halibut, both were great. The pad thai is huge portion, we both had a bit and there was still a lot for lunch the next day! We also had to try the Chocolate Maki, of course. The desert wasn't as great as other things, but the presentation is spectacular. A great place!
