Updated Aug 27 2022 I don't know what's happened. I ordered the same meal, there was one sliver of beef, no chicken and a few prawns. Portion was half of what you see in the pictures. Flavour was still great but I also got food poisoning from it this time. I'm gutted. Bringing it down from 5 to 3 stars. Old review: Absolutely loved it here and can't wait to go back! The food actually had spice in it, tasted authentic, the portions were MASSIVE, the mocktail was tasty and the service was excellent! I'm salivating just thinking about it. 🤤 We had the Korean fried chicken, red curry and Singapore noodles!

S. B.

Enjoyed the flavours and the dishes, although I prefer my ribs softer. Enjoyed my cocktail too, very easy to drink. Will be back, defo 😊

P. P.

Some good "street" food in here, i used the "" as im not sure if some of the menu hold up as true traditional - i might be wrong though. The Thai fries were spot on and the tempura veg a delight.

E. M.

Mains were very good, especially the burger, but next time I'll certainly avoid the sides that are very/too heavy. Very good value for the lunch deal

G. D.

One of our favourite Asian restaurants in Glasgow. Always a winner!

d. m. t.

Went for a few drinks friendly staff and great service

T. M.

At least there was 1 member of staff that made an effort and they were trying very hard and can't fault them... However the rest were verging on unpleasant... I know it gets busy at peak times and they probably were just tired but I was in at a quiet time and the place was a mess

k. _.

The food is really great 👍

G. W.

Went for boozy brunch 25 quid a head/ sharing starter main and 4 cocktails each !! food /cocktails and service were great would highly recommend

s. b.

Great place... great pricing too... had a deal on . 24.99 for set meal with 4 drinks per head... will be back!

A. S.

All good. Food nice and spicy. Staff. A bit too aloof. May be COVID.

K. M.

Super yummy drinks but if you are not the biggest fan of spicy food better watch out! That spice gets really hot fast!

P. M.

Excellent. Good beer, excellent cocktails, nice food. Was in on a work team building thing with a cocktail making course that was great fun, highly recommended.

B. G.

Thai curry and katsu curry both of which were highly enjoyable also had the super Thai fries, topped with peanut sauce, soba mayo, sarichai sauce and crushed peanuts superb.

L. F.

Food was really nice and service was friendly and not intrusive. Would recommend to anyone. Do a lovely Gin

J. T.

A large selection of drinks and cocktails are available here. There is also a food menu here with some tasty dishes, however the selection isn't too large.

n.

Great bar serving good pan Asian food. Excellent Nasi Goreng! Very mixed crowd...its a pub that caters for all.

H. A.

Gorgeous restaurant located inside Glasgow's Merchant Square. Serves flavourful dishes with generous portions.

M. L.

Solid food, but small portions for a rather large price.

K. O.

Service is a bit slow but the food was really good. Cocktail pitcher should have less ice and more liquid.

a. m.

Great wee bar in merchant city great food and great service our server aneesh was very friendly and attentive couldnt fault our bar soba experience

A. N.

Great food, cocktails and nice friendly staff

C. B.

The service here was pretty terrible. It was the last Saturday before Christmas at around 5:30pm and it was relatively quiet, definitely not full. We waited about 20 mins for our drinks to arrive and only because we asked where they were. The cocktails were nothing to write home about. The food was lacklustre and there wasn’t a lot there for the price. We waited 15 mins for the second round of drinks and had to ask twice for the bill. I won’t be back as it’s overpriced and overrated

j. b.

Lovely choice of Asian food, not bad on price either. Good atmosphere

T. G.

Fast, terrific service and a great Pad Thai!

E. C.

Really good food at a reasonable price, with a great cocktail menu and really knowledgeable bartenders

E. G.

Great food good service only down side got a side of onion rings charged £4 and you only get 4 £1 per onion ring not that good

R. W.

Always great food and probably some of the best service you get in any of the sobas in Glasgow.

M. C.

Love the food but the service is decreasing in standard each time we go- probably due to shortage of staff.

c. c.

Menu offers a good selection of bar food. Gets quite busy.

Yummy food at reasonable prices, great service & friendly staff !!

D. A. G.

I had a great meal here with my boyfriend. We each had a starter, a main with a side, and a cocktail each. The Yellow Dragon is a very cool cocktail, and nice for the decent weather we're having just now. The food was delicious. The portions aren't the biggest, but it was a great taste. The problem, thankfully knocked back by his student card, was the price. If we didn't have 50% off food I don't think we would have come here.

G. G.

Love this place. Such a cool vibe, great food and great service.

R. G.

Food is pretty good, and very reasonable with tastecard

A. M.

Food ok chicken overcooked on the katsu curry though 😱

L. F.

Good drinks, food not great.

M. W.

Staff were excellent, polite and helpful. Drinks were ordered and delivered speedily, the food order similarly efficiently taken and delivered back to our table. We both had the 2 course for £9 offer which meant that the starter and main arrived together. (which was perfectly fine) as we were on a bit of a time crunch anyway. The fried dumplings were lovely, really tasty and piping hot. The main was also delicious. Overall a really good experience. Would recommend.

L. V.

Very delicious and wide variety of drinks and cocktails and a ton of vegan options! A very beautiful setting and the staff is wonderful. Definitely a must if you're in the area.

j. k.

Great food and quick for a speedy lunch.

E. H.

Fantastic food, and great service

A. R.

Unique food experience in the heart of city. The decor is modern and super cool, with comfy seating and graffiti walls. Food might not be to everyone's taste as the it is a combination of flavours you might not thought of combining. Firstly chips or chips with peanut butter is a must try!! Good selection of vegetarian food as well. Good place to go for a lunch break as service is quite fast. Staff is very funny and friendly.

S. P.

Great service and great food 👌

Fantastic food, good offer

N. M.

Great food and cocktails

K. C.

Lunch menu is decent! Staff were a bit disinterested. Don't reckon I'd go back for dinner but definitely absolutely worth going for lunch. Or probably would be good for dinner if you're going for drinks too as they have good cocktails. But there's no real appeal for dinner compared to other places nearby if you're going non alcoholic.

E. D.

Food great value and good .

Nice food.

There's several Bar Soba dotted around the city now and they are all similar which I suppose is inevitable, why change a trusted formula? This one has seating outside and a smart interior with a dedicated bar area and the restaurant area in one largish room space. Bar Soba is not the cheapest so beware.

G. S.

Fantastic food

S. F.

Great place

Cocktail heaven

Nice experience

D. K.

Leckeres Essen zu angemessenen Preisen. Leider sind die Portionen an sich sehr gering. Der Service ist freundlich und gut. Die Sauberkeit der Sanitäranlagen ist zweifelhaft. (Translated) Delicious food at reasonable prices. Unfortunately the portions are very small. The service is friendly and good. The cleanliness of the sanitary facilities is doubtful.

M. K.

(Translated) Poor service ; we had to pick up the waiter to take our order, he puts the cutlery after the dishes, forgets and serves the water at the end of the meal which was good (Original) Mauvais service ; nous avons dû aller chercher le serveur pour prendre notre commande, il met les couverts après les plats, en oublie et sert l'eau à la fin du repas qui fut bon

I love this place. The food is amazing (I've been several times and always get something different and nothing has disappointed thus far) and the drinks are nice too. Only down side is that it's pretty expensive, but they have a really good deal for students available Mon through Thurs. Despite how good it is I think without the deal it is a little overpriced for their targeted customers.

Best Pan Asian food I've tasted. Great selection on menu, delicious food at great prices. Great service & friendly staff. Cocktails are amazing too.

A. A.

Had an excellent meal last week and staff were very helpful and friendly.

M. S.

Food was good, waiter was accommodating for food allergies, friendly service.

D. H.

Service was friendly and efficient but a little slow. Wasn't a problem for us as we weren't in a hurry. Food was really good and will definitely go back.

J. B.

Great food, great service and a lovely experience.

J. F.

Went here for lunch and loved it. They have a satisfying serving for only £7 and gyoza for £3. Delicious Asian food. They also brought the food out very quickly. Also, sitting on their patio in Merchant square is very pleasant.

E. S.

Amazing food and excellent service. Fully recommended. Looking forward to going back the next time I'm in Glasgow.

J. M.

For was superb will be back again

M. S.

The food was lovely and I managed to use the chopsticks throughout ( go me!) I had Thai curry and popcorn chicken as a starter. The staff are very nice too.

D. A.

It is a fun spot! Located in Merchant Square, which has several restaurants located around an atrium, the place is lively with a great drinks menu. Their gin and tonic selection is extensive! Great vegetarian Asian food options available. Tasty green curry and pad Thai. The only reason I didn't give it a higher review is that they lost our order from the scanned menu and we were waiting for a long time before they fixed it.

J. R.

Ordering is done online - once you've registered and given your details. No option for tap water. There's a card transaction fee. Really feels like buying plane tickets. Just a really unpleasant user experience. Once ordered though, service was great. Friendly and professional. Food was very tasty. A big issue with ordering online was that half of the table got their main course and dessert - and finished eating - before the other half of the table even had their mains brought. We had to ask the staff if they could help. Obviously that's not a great experience. Apparently there was no toilet paper in the ladies toilets. And our water glasses had lipstick on. Overall I don't think I would return. While the food was good, the online ordering was unpleasant and caused issues with timing. There were plenty of staff on hand to help - which was great - and they were helpful and understanding. But overall, there's too much potential for a bad time.

A. M.

The staff was very friendly, food was good but we waited for more than 50 minutes for our meals to be cooked. When the food arrived, half of the sides were cold and the table we booked was quite dirty (crumbs and tissues all over the place).

L.

Servers were really nice but the food took over an hour and a half to come. 5 meals came together and then there was further wait of 10 minutes for the last person which meant food was not very hot. Serving sizes were quite small for two dishes even though they were 'large plates' in comparison to the other dishes. Food was good, if a bit cold.

S.

I love this place. Great food, casual service and amazing deals during the week.

J. M.

Great food and service, not really much more to say! In the photo I have Tofu Katsu Curry and Super Thai Fries. Enjoy!

T. M.

Popped in here on a whim and then had a fantastic asian meal , sat inside as the classical concert in the central area of the Hall was so loud that we couldnt hear ourselves. Inside theres plenty of seats and some funky artwork on the walls , we were served quickly and had Bang Bang chicken wings in satay sauce for a starter and then I had the Singapore street noodles and the GF had Nasi Goreng .. amazing food ,terrific flavour and just so good , add in the great service from the staff and the value of a city centre meal for 2 for less than £50 makes this well recommended.

L. A.

Excellent food, East to order wit the app. Friendly staff

K. B.

Great service, all orders done via app so very COVID friendly and efficient. We had dinner and drinks. The cocktails are lovely! It is on the pricier side though so perfect for a special night out.

A. F.

Service was prompt, food very tasty, but limited menu although what is on offer is good. What I didn't like & this maybe as our seating position which was central and the many hard or solid surfaces which resulted in the sound not being absorbed & therefore difficult to hear over neighbouring tables - voices & music. Sorry, but not for me & hence 3 star rating.

H. Y.

The food and drinks themselves were lovely but the service was somewhat lacking. Our food got to our table slowly in stages because the staff seemed confused about what food was at what table. When it came to ordering a second round of drinks. Half the drinks came 20 minutes later and some never arrived until we reminded our server who then brought more drinks 10 minutes later but one person still never got the Pepsi they ordered half an hour earlier and no one seemed very apologetic about the wait. We decided to finish our night elsewhere. I would have understood if the place was packed but it was only about 3 quarters full. We also asked to split our bill but the server charged it all to one card even though the rest of us sat there with our cards out

S. M.

Went for a Boozy Brunch with some friends. The food was lovely and there was a great selection of cocktails on the set menu. Excellent value for money!

J. J.

Had an Xmas night out here. Very nice

D. M. C.

Visited on Sunday evening. Great cocktails, beautiful food and venue. Special mention to our waitress Caragh who was so warm, helpful and fantastic at her job. Great stuff Bar Soba! Will be back :)

R. T.

Fantastic staff and amazing cocktails

R. C.

I'd never eaten at Bar Soba before but I'll for sure be back for their boozy brunch - really quick service, good drinks included and the food was amazing (particularly the red thai curry!)

H. F.

Food and cocktails at Bar Soba are fantastic. The satay sauce is amazing, I would very much recommend the nasi goreng which comes with an egg and it’s perfect. I wanted to mark it down a little as being as I sat outside when you order drinks to the table and it took 25 minutes even though it wasn’t busy. That being said I have been back frequently.

M. M.

Shared some small plates and wine. Lovely fresh flavours. Friendly staff. Would go back.

N. A.

Menu sounds great, but food is sub-standard. The gyoza were cold and lacked flavour and the waiting staff forgot to order one of our dishes meaning we all ate at different times. The pad Thai made up for it as had a decent amount of chicken.

K. M.

Food was okay. Won't go back ,Nothing special

l. m.

Located within the beautiful Merchant Square, this place has a great atmosphere. Good choice of dishes on the menu, at a decent price and they have an extensive cocktail list too. Food was fresh and delicious, especially the sharing plates which we all agreed we could easily have ordered instantly again. Place is popular with groups, so can get noisy and service was very slow. Member of staff did apologise for the wait though.

G. M.

Had the boozy lunch here a couple of times. The staff are very nice and good food aswell. Ideal location also

J. S.

This is one of the many restaurants located inside Merchant City. As you have a large number of restaurants located in an enclosed space made of hard surfaces it gets extremely loud and it can be tough to carry on a conversation. This place seems to attract groups. It is popular and gets busy but they have a large number of tables. If there is a wait it should not be too long. The food is decent but not great. We ordered steamed dumplings and 1/3 of them had lost all of their fillings while cooking. I do not recommend ordering them as a result. The fried chicken curry was missing something and as a result was a bit on the bland side. Also note it is just fried chicken, white rice, and sauce. The fried pork was similar, pork, rice sauce, and a weak effort to include a very, very small amount of vegetables. The service was good and the price was reasonable. But to can get better food at a similar price around town.

B. A.

Nice to seat at the patio. Average food.

S. K.

Location is great. Food is very tasty however I don't like the portion change. Drinks and cocktails good alcohol level.

C. R.

Had the boozy brunch, excellent value for money. Lovely attentive staff 🙂

J. P.

Food fabulous. Service excellent. You would have got 5 stars, however on booking we advised that we would have a baby in a pram. Despite this we were given a table upstairs and had to carry the pram up and down the stairs. Quite ridiculous actually but overall worth the 4 stars

M. C.

Amazing place! Very comfortable and staff are super friendly and cheerful; really positive vibe. The food was amazing and they also offer great lunch deals. We will definitely be back soon 😊

D. M.

Great food great cocktails and thing's in place to minimise covid19 spread👍 One week later not much I'm place one member of staff wearing a mask.... it's table service so the staff are carrying food and drinks🤔🤔 mask's should be worn as it made me feel safe....also the table's were closer together this week compared to last week leaving no social distance in place....not to mention we were billed over £50 extra on our bill which was rectified after about an hour of back and forth with staff and management 😠😠😠very disappointed indeed compared to the week before. To add insult not even a drink was offered in compensation 😠by the time the whole thing was sorted out our nice feeling from our cocktails had worn off. It was my cousin's birthday so thankful the company was great and not all was ruined.

K. A.

Had booked a boozy brunch with 3 other friends early afternoon which included a sharing platter to start, a main course and 4 cocktails. The bar wasn’t overly busy and it took at least 35 mins after being sat at our table before being asked what we would like to drink. It states on the menu you can only order 1 cocktail per head at a time and due to covid we only had the table for 2 hours. The cocktails took ages to come and we kept having to try and catch a member of staffs attention to order our next drink. Due to the slow service we managed to only JUST squeeze in our third cocktail having to drink it in one go as it arrived as our time was up. We were wondering if the service was deliberately slow so we wouldn’t get our money’s worth. If we hadn’t kept catching the staffs attention for ordering drinks we would have only had 2 drinks in 2 hours. Love bar soba but the service was extremely slow even though the bar wasn’t overly busy when we were in.

A. M.

Been to this restaurant a few times now and I am never disappointed. From the moment you walk in the staff are friendly and attentive, I've never had to wait to be seated. The food on offer is delicious, food doesn't always taste exactly the same as the last time you went but this is most likely due to using fresh ingredients and not pre-packaged, regardless the food is always delicious. Cannot recommend enough.

J. H.

Good food, maybe a little on the pricey side. Last time I was here they played really loud music in the evening. Fair enough it was the weekend, but quite loud to eat food to

r. g.

Staff are great. Great chat and really upbeat. Even lovely when dealing with slightly merry customers ( obviously not me ). Was in for dinner by myself on Thursday and I didn't feel lonely or awkward. I was back in again tonight with friends for some drinks. Although there isn't a dj like the one on Mitchell lane you can get a seat and you are able to here what people are saying to you.

V. D.

Service could have been slightly quicker but overall a good experience. Food was nice and good selection of drinks. Was here during the day so not busy. Likely to have a different vibe at night which I might try at some point. Worth popping your head in if you are in the area.

H. H.

Boozy brunch was delicious. Such good value for money and an excellent range.

J. G.

The steamed dumplings were cold and only three of them. Would not recommend the buttermilk chicken wings as they had no flavour. Katsu curry chips were ok. Overpriced and staff unfriendly.

R. C.

The food is always very tasty here, and a good selection of interesting cocktails make for a great place to start the evening. The staff are very friendly and chatty, but sometimes a little slow to get service, even when it's quiet.

R. C.

In for a quick drink with my sister before going home after a lovely afternoon out. It was quieter than I've seen it at weekends but it was early on a Thursday evening . Staff were lovely. Quietly attentive. Nice atmosphere. Certainly go back.

J. G.

Absolutely wonderful food and people. Honestly couldn't have asked for better service as they were lovely and really quick with any requests. Got quite a lot of food and drinks (4 of us eating and sides) and there were no complaints at all. Its relatively good price wise too as all of the food was delicious and not hellish expensive! I will definitely be coming back again

L.

The staff were amazing, friendly and couldn't do more. The 5 of us all enjoyed our lunch and commented on the great choice of restaurant.

Nice place and attentive staff but I was upstairs with friends and maybe it's an age thing but found the music too loud. I was there from around 4pm to 7pn just having drinks and that was my only criticism.

P. H.

Lovely food and amazing service. The cocktails are so good. Try the drumstick or Um bongo. We felt really safe to stay and eat here with their Covid practices in place. Thanks, we’ll be back.

Great cocktails and an all round good vibe. Staff can be quite slow at times when it gets a wee bit busy. Not great sense of urgency. But that shouldn't put you off going here. The old fashioned and white russians are pretty great!!

The food and the service were excellent and the atmosphere of the merchant Square is really vibrant. A lovely place to have dinner or just to chill with a drink

M. G.

Nice range of cocktails. Some basic house keeping required to stop table tops being sticky

C. H.

Had a great time at Soba. The servers were really nice and efficient. The food was perfect and the cocktails were fab. All in all a great place to dine and drink would go again. Thanks Bar Soba. Cant wait to be back in Glasgow

Been here 2/3 times..Great for casual drinks or a meal and a nice chilled atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful. The bar menu is good with a selection of cocktails to children also

We hired an area for a birthday party last night and we can’t praise the place and the staff enough. Brooke was so helpful and went out of her way to make sure the place looked as we asked and nothing was a problem. Luke was our own personal bar man and he was amazing. Everyone commented on how great they both were. The food was gorgeous, the atmosphere was great and we all had a fantastic time!

Popped in for some delicious cocktails. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable. I felt safe in the current climate as bar is spacious and airy. Well done......I'll be back!! 😉

The food is good and the service is perfect. The restaurant atmosphere was pretty nice until the waiters start to put old school music really loud! However they turn it down for us!

N. B.

Have ate in Bar Soba twice now (second time in mitchel lane). Both times i ended up with an upset stomach. Food is nice but very rich and way over seasoned. Dumplings and cheesburger springrolls are nice though. Very few staff working the night we were there so service was slow. Staff were lovely though. A lot nicer place to have a meal than mitchel lane.

Can't get enough of this place. The food, drinks, service and value for money on the boozy brunch is amazing. Our first post lockdown date night wouldn't have been anywhere else.

Nice food with good value lunch deal. Menus and table were very sticky

Hi was outfor the night and wanted to try something different to eat and decided to pop into Bar Scoba in the Merchant city the food was great the waitress named Aneesh was very knowledgeable about the menu explained everything as I have never been in Bar Scoba before will definitely be back

S. B.

Mind blowingly amazing food friendly funny (and attractive) staff distinct lack of swearing despite some other reviews on here. Not that it would have been an issue for me anyway. Get the katsu fries they are just the best

M.

Tofu katsu curry was amazing so was the veg noodle dish, great service and a big variety of cocktails .

D. '. S.

The hostess was amazing, friendly and welcoming. Put us all at ease and made sure we were all set. Staff were helpful and friendly. Service is not immediate but you'd expect that in the circumstances.

Lunch menu. Cauliflower katsu curry (first time). Nice food. Decent price. £7 main and a soft drink!

E. C.

Love Soba! Delicious food, not too expensive (except for the great cocktails that are as expensive as they're good). Good student discount for lunch! Very nice staff!

P. B.

The food is nice, incannot comment how authentic it is... But is nice. The portion for the price might be a bit on the small side... Never the less tasty and nice. Staff is friendly... And provide a good service... Nice place to go to drink or eat. For drinks only it might be on the quiet side. Good to have a chat and hear yourself...
