I had the soba noodles at Kyotofu recently and they were great (as were the cupcakes)! Unfortunately it’s a little far for me to visit on a regular basis. Thanks for the rec though.

Good point Za Jiang. That place is great! However, sadly I don’t think that it is open for lunch.

Soba Totto, 43rd st, between 2nd and 3rd
Out of midtown price range, but you gotta pay for quality

Oh crap, I think I’m in agreement with the good doctor on this one. Waffle House is pretty amazing. If you can find a better, cheaper, hangover breakfast anywhere, please let me know.

I too love hash browns (but not home fries).

You’re welcome Rich. Unfortunately I don’t like Soba (or udon) and can’t help you out. Maybe go to H Mart on 32nd & buy yourself some Soba noodles & make it at home and bring it to work for lunch. I am wicked jealous of the people working close to OMS/b. I am too far to go there for lunch.

I’m beginning to think that there is no soba in midtown. What’s there another lunch’er recently who also wanted some soba? Oh, and you must never have had good home fries.

Thanks for being a good sport Rich. And yeah, what about the Soba??

Thanks for the support Marina and Wined & Dined. I think it’s pretty funny that the photo has gotten almost all the attention. I actually considered a couple of different options, but it looks like I picked a winner.

PS No answers on soba?

PPS DocChuck, not sure if I should be flattered by all the comparisons to your wife, but I think I’ll get by either way.

Please take a look at my profile. The wife and I often travel and tour Waffle Houses from coast to coast. Fine dining for us is the Waffle House, the world’s leading server of waffles. I often order the Pecan waffle and the wife orders the Chocolate Chip. While we eat we hum our favorite tune from Bloodhound Gang. I want you smothered, want you covered
Like my Waffle House hashbrowns, you and me baby we ain’t nothing but mammals so let’s so it like we do it on the discovery channel.
I love hash browns.

Cheers,
Chuck, PhD
