The city’s latest soba specialist is Kaz The Soba Place, a new restaurant on Sawtelle specializing in the Japanese buckwheat noodles. They have both hot and cold versions of the dish, like “The Osaka,” which comes with sweet and tender sukiyaki beef, served with an original hot soup stock, as well as “The Tokyo” - a cold soba served simply with noodles, nori (shredded seaweed), green onions, wasabi, and a side of broth. Available for takeout and delivery.
