Yeah I know it’s off topic for a Ramen board but I’m headed out to LA next week and I want to see if there are any must try Soba places in the LA/OC area.  I’ve already have my ramen list ready. 

Sadly I’ve lost my favorite Sushi restaurant, so I need a good food fix.

Thanks…

For good soba in Los Angeles I would recommend Sanuko no Sato in Gardena (in the same plaza as Ramen shop Asa).  Excellent buck wheat soba.  Their udon is pretty good too.  Here is the web site about the restaurant including the menu.

If you go during weekday lunch time I think they have good value bento set too…

my secret hole in the wall for soba is ichimi-an honten in old torrance downtown… next to the foster’s freeze. AMAZING soba. i like it better than otafuku or any of the other premium places. they do their soba in hot or cold broths… mentaiko oroshi cold = mmmmmmm!
