Noodles were excellent- we had the cream of mushroom and kamo-nanban. Service left something to be desired- we got our beer after asking a couple of times and way after our food had arrived and the waiters were not apologetic whatsoever.
This is a very cozy soba restaurant that attempts the fine dining experience. It definitely stands out among the Seattle restaurants in terms of the food. The food is definitely very innovative and the staff provides really detailed explanations about the serving. My only reservation is that the food is not premium enough to be this expensive.
Excellent hand made soba paired with tentative service.
Cute hole in the wall in Fremont! I've driven by this Japanese restaurant multiple times over the year and finally decided to go here today. Definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time online, otherwise you can get seated at the bar for walk-ins. The bartender and our server, David, was great - very attentive and friendly! Also provided great food suggestions and knowledge of the menu. Entrees were around $25 each, and the appetizers were $15. They have an assortment of sakes (~ (11-$20) which were delicious. A cute date night spot.
Every time I visit Seattle, the first thing I do is book a table at Kamonegi. It's my favorite place and always always always is amazing! This time, we got the nagoya chicken, classic kamonegi soba, and the cream of mushroom soba. The chicken was PHENOMENAL. Flavour wise - I have never had anything like it !!! So so so delicious. The texture was perfect as well. 10/10 recommend. The classic kamonegi soba was tasty as usual. It will always be my favorite. The mushroom soba was good, although it was a little bit too sweet for my personal liking. I love the pork and ginger flavours in it though! But my favorite is still the kamonegi :)))
Food is excellent. Really great vibe.
Food is delicious but overpriced; I had the kamonegi seiro which was a very small portion. Kabocha wings are delicious though
Heard a lot about this place from friends so I had pretty high expectations. Happily, I think they were met. Asked the staff to suggest me the perfect meal and he told me the foie tofu, shungiku tempura, and the cream do black trumpet mushroom soba. The foie tofu wasn’t tofu at all, it was a foie mousse that was presented like a piece tofu. I ended up enjoying this more than I expected and will order this again whenever I’m in town. The shungiku was chrysanthemum leaf tempura with parm and a maggi Caesar. I loved this. Never thought of making tempura out of chrysanthemum but it was so nice. All the tiny leaves get coated in batter and become addictively crispy. Didn’t end up getting the mushroom soba, wasn’t feeling anything creamy. Got the duck soba because it had the places name in it. Soba was a perfect texture, sauce was great as well. Wasn’t too salty and I kept wanting more. After you’re done with the soba, they add broth into your sauce to make it into a soup that you sip on after. Service was great. After I finished my meal, I asked the server what recommendations he had for food and bars. He happily gave me a long list and I’m very thankful for that. Great vibes. Overall, great food and will be returning to have another foie “tofu” and other cool unique takes on tempura and soba!
