Ba Soba, Belfast

This Japanese-style noodle bar is a first for Belfast and a great venue for a night out with your friends. Sleek decor and stylish unisex toilets demand your admiration while long benches urge sociability with fellow diners. The menu is drawn from all over South East Asia: curries from Malaysia, Burma and Thailand complement this restaurant's staple orientation - the Japanese noodle experience. Soba (buckwheat), Udon (rice, thick), and Ramen (wheat, thin), are the three species of noodle served, in a variety of delicious meats, vegetables and sauces, while Udon and egg noodles can also be served as sides. (The rice is sticky deliberately - it's not the chef's fault!) Ba Soba is fully licensed and serves a variety of raw juices, Asian beers and teas.
