Oh dear, a disappointment. Evening meal of sushi, noodles with sides. The food was ok, but the main of noodles was imbalanced in taste, just the wrong blend of flavours, a very mean portion for the cost too. The sushi rice was old, tasted like it had been sitting since lunch, the crackers were obviously out of a packet and not cooked fresh, come on guys you just got to heat some oil. And the service was polite, but the waiter forgot one of our dishes, but then he didnt use a pad or anything, rather relying on remembering our order, which he didnt, then served us our mains before the starters arrived... come on this is such a fundamental mistake, get the food in order please. And then the other sushi roll we had was dry and bland, again the ingredients weren't crisp and fresh enough in a dish that demands freshness above all others. Prices were a bit odd, some dishes overpriced, some about right. I'd revisit for drinks, but foodwise, so many others do it much better.

Soba is one of my favourite places to eat in Glasgow. It’s tucked away on Mitchell Lane just off Buchanan Street and going inside is an immediate escape from the hustle and bustle of city outside. Their menu is ‘Asian fusion’ and everything I’ve ever eaten from there is simply delicious. Their lentil burger is excellent, and I love the Thai green chicken curries. And if you love sushi you’ll love it here. The cocktail menu is good too, plus they always seem to be holding cocktail masterclasses where you can go along and learn for yourself how to be the perfect bar man. Also, the staff are lovely and so friendly and the prices are really reasonable.
