“ Truly amazing soba restaurant. Everything I had from the soba to the tempura, to the sashimi was delicious. The service was amazing. They were several workers that made sure we had everything. My ONLY gripe with this place was the music. I felt like they could've played some amazing Jazz recordings or playlists, but instead they had AI jazz playing that was pretty terrible. It almost drove me a little crazy. lol. Otherwise great food.! ”
“ One of the best restaurants in Fort Lee, must-try Coming from the city, this place offers fresh udon and hot soothing soup. Unbeatable prices, salmon sashimi is excellent. The lunch special might be the best in the area, value and taste. Try this place, you won't regret it ”
“ Yummy soba!!! Super chewy and very good texture. The salmon and sushi rich were pretty good and the price was amazing! You can get up to 300 grams of noodles for the same price as the normal 100 grams. The tonkatsu was a little soggy and the rice was okay. ”
“ Felt like we were back on our first day in Japan when we came here! Sweet staff and authentic Japanese menu! We ordered their bulgogi bowl, curry and of course soba platter! Everything was so delicious and we can't wait to try more items next time!! ”
“ Very impressed with this restaurant and did not disappoint. They had so much on the menu and sets at an affordable price. You can choose whether you want the soba to be cold or hot and how much noodles you want. Me and my bf got the soba combo set. One with shrimp tempura and the other with pork cutlet curry. Both were really delicious. I was scared the soba broth would be too salty but it was perfect as well as the noodles. Definitely will come back and workers were really nice and checked up on us ”
“ I've been ordering from Soba noodle Azuma and Ramen Azuma (it's sister restaurant) for some time now. This is some of the best chicken katsu you can find locally. With the order you get a full dinner tray with rice and salad and a side of soup. The chicken is a little different from the usual cutlet I'm used to; they do pieces of chicken instead (almost like karaage) but it's sooo good - well seasoned, crunchy and juicy. The panko coating is just enough but not too crumbly or messy. You really feel like you're getting your money's worth with the dinner tray. The food is always very fresh too. I could taste the fresh ginger in the chicken (not just ginger powder). I haven't tried the other menu items but if it's anything like the katsu, it must be delicious. ”
“ My friend had never had soba before, so we decided to give this place a try. I ordered the soba noodle with pork cutlet curry and it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. The broth with the soba was light and refreshing, while the homemade curry was delicious and plentiful. It was the perfect combination and I will definitely get it again the next time we're in Fort Lee. ”
“ I want to preface this by saying if my brother wrote this review, it would definitely be five stars. He liked this place enough to come back here and take me and my family. I think for me it's a four stars but I'm splitting the difference and rounding up partially because the prices were reasonable and many things were still delicious and everything was baseline Good. We ordered a couple of things - soba with tempura, soba with raw fish, soba with curry katsu, and a warm soba. Everything was yummy and what you like best is probably a matter of your personal preference (as evidenced by my family and our different favorites). The curry katsu was excellent - I love a good katsu not any old katsu and I would come here again just to have their curry katsu. The soba with the raw fish was also good and I loved how cozy the warm soba was. I am only a four for myself because I felt the soba was good but didn't blow me away, and tasted similar to noodles I had made a few weeks before eating here. I did buy them from Japan so it makes sense the quality was similar but once you know how to do it, it does feel pretty simple (and I am not an impressive chef by any means). Still! A good place to eat and a yummy meal. ”
“ Great spot for traditional Japanese soups and more. Recently enjoyed some warm, savory Udon with Donkatsu at Azuma with my wife who enjoyed Udon with shashimi. Azuma is a very warm, well appointed restaurant that's very inviting. Service is timely and extremely polite as you might expect. And the food prep looks as good as it tastes. Highly recommend and looking forward to returning again soon and often. ”
“ What a great soba shop in Fort Lee! I was on the hunt for Japanese food and came across Azuma. It happened to be in the 90s today, and cold soba noodles seemed the like the perfect meal. Good soba is hard to find, but Azuma exceeded expectations. There was plenty of seating around 7:30pm, and service was very friendly. The menu is setup as noodle sets with many options - I chose the cold soba set with curry and pork cutlet. This was the perfect combo. For the same price, you can either pick 100g, 200g, or 300g of soba. It looked like most people were doing 300g, but I went with 200g and it was the perfect amount if not too much. The buckwheat noodles were very chewy - exactly how I like them. The curry and pork cutlet was the perfect mini dish with my soba. The curry was not the *best* Japanese curry I've had, but it was very very good. This really was the ideal meal for a summer evening, and an insane value for $17. I'll definitely be back. IMO, soba is much better suited for dine in than takeout, but you can do both. Some tips: -no liquor license but it's BYOB! -There's a vegan set -municipal parking lot around the corner if you can't find street parking ”
