  • Ask for soba without fish broth; staff accommodated this by serving it without soup and removing the pickles.

About

Tsuchifuku Shokudo serves traditional Japanese set meals, including soba, vegetable tempura, pork cutlet, and rice dishes, at prices reviewers describe as very reasonable. Booths and tatami seating, manga-lined walls, and quick, often English-friendly service make it a relaxed neighborhood dinner stop; vegan meals require checking broth and sides, and reviews report only one or two workable choices.
