Overpriced for the portion size. Flavor is decent. Yume has better portions for the price. Udon noodles are the thinner kind. Beef sukiyaki barely has beef. If anything, the appetizers are a better deal. Good service.

We had an excellent experience at Somenya. The food was outstanding from start to finish—everything from the appetizers to the entrées, and even the tea, was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. What truly set this visit apart was the care they took with my girlfriend’s food allergy. The staff was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and communicated clearly and confidently with the kitchen. Only moments after our order was sent back, they returned to let us know the chef had identified one item as unsafe for her allergy and asked if we’d like to choose something else instead. That level of attention and proactive communication was impressive and very reassuring. Great food, attentive service, and genuine care for guests’ needs. We’ll absolutely be back.

Such a hidden gem in the busy city. Walking in, I felt like I was at a mom and pop restaurant in a small village in Japan. I truly love the unique charm of the decoration! I had an appetizer- crispy squid tentacles and it was good. The soda I got was also tasty! I will go back to try other food for sure!

Our favorite spot for Japanese Udon and Soba in Boston thus far! They have most of the traditional options, but they also have some interesting Korean fusion dishes. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the mentsuyu and broths had a good balance of flavors. Service was friendly, and prices were reasonable. Reservations not available, so be prepared for a wait if you come around dinner time.

It was great! I ordered the duck roast soba while my friends got the beef sukiyaki udon and another soba dish. The decorations were very pretty and food was good in my opinion. I liked the giant ladles they give you to eat it with. 7-8/10, though one of my friends didn’t like the broth. Staff were also quite nice!
