Don't be fooled with the small and older exterior. Soba is a long time favorite and the inside is full of kindness, flavor, and happy tummies. I didn't think I could love Soba anymore and then I tried a different dish on the menu and I fell in love all over again. Soba is my go to place for a hot bowl of yumminess that is pho. Georgia summers are HOT though and I just couldn't imagine a hot bowl of soup on my most recent visit. I decided to branch out and try one of the Com Tâm (broken Jasmine rice) dishes. I got the Vietnamese fried rice with marinated cubed filet mignon and added a fried egg. WOW!!! The flavor was fantastic and the steak was tender and perfect. I liked that the rice had a bit of sauce and flavor and that there were fresh veggies on the plate. It was a fantastic meal that I completely finished. I insisted others at the table try the steak and they were equally impressed. Our servers are always great. This time our server was extra helpful. He had suggested the dish I tried and shared that it is a very popular dish. I can see why and I appreciate that he knew the menu. I'll be back many times, I'm sure and after branching out on the menu, I'll be sure to try something else next time.

It was my first time coming here and I got a noodle with pork bowl. I like how everything tasted so fresh and crisp but I was hoping that the bowl had some sort of sauce to it so it wasn't so dry. I added some of the spicy chili paste, which helped a lot. Next time I definitely wanna try the pho!

First timer! Walked in on a Saturday night dim lighting and few spots to sit, like a hidden gem Within the area. Our waiter was super attentive and didn't feel rushed, We Ordered lemon drop martinis and chicken Pho. Loved that the broth had a special flavor that many other places don't have, it was a bit disappointing to only have about half the bowl full on a large selection to be charged for me. Small problems but those things matter. We noticed lots of take out being done so obviously the food outside of the Pho Is amazing! Will return again though!

THEY DO NOT HONOR YELP COUPONS- FALSE PROMO

So Ba used to be one of my favorite Vietnamese spots in the city, but today I was very unimpressed. The spring rolls were sloppily made, and were brought to the table with no side plates. Had to use napkins, and of course they stuck to the rolls and became a mess. The main course I had was the #11 small Pho with beef brisket. It was ok. I don't think I'd come back for it. They also offer a coupon of %20 off on Yelp, and the manager did not honor it stating they don't use it. False marketing is always a bummer.

Excellent. The brisket pho and the shrimp pho was amazing. The egg rolls and veggie rolls awesome . The waitress was attentive. We'll be back soon !

I've come here a couple times before for Pho, and it's always delicious. This time I tried a fried rice dish with beef short ribs and it was pretty good. The short ribs were a little chewy, but the flavor was delicious. The pickled veggies that came with it were sooo good. I finished everything on the plate! If the service was a bit better, it would've been a 5star visit!

Pretty good Vietnamese in East Atlanta! I ordered food on the phone, and pronounced the names the way it was listed, in Vietnamese, but the lady on the phone didn't recognize it so I described the dishes - "special" rice dish and the vermicelli noodles with beef, shrimp and egg roll. I drove to pick up the food and got a bit lost. There's a parking lot that I pulled in to/GPS took me to, that has a restaurant and a cigar lounge, but found the restaurant a few doors down. When I got there, there was a friendly dude in front who greeted me. I said I had a phone order and he directed me to the bar. Two ladies were there working with a few patrons sitting at the bar. I had checked in which gave me %20 off my bill. She brought up my order and applied the discount. I did see on the receipt that they added a 10% to go fee. Not sure if that's always done or because I applied the Yelp discount? Anyways, got my food and it was delicious. I had the noodles and got my hubby the rice - which he ate after he got home from work. It was the broken rice, which is always a plus. Overall a good spot for Vietnamese - pretty authenthic!

This place is a great spot for Vietnamese in East atlanta. The service and vibe is similar to other East atlanta spots and they are understaffed so expect to wait. Both bun and pho were fantastic. Definitely recommend trying this for a a differnt experience from Buford hwy

Decent food at So Ba, but I was pretty disappointed in the service. Our waiter was nice but not the most friendly, seemed to want to go quick through our orders. We ordered two drinks that were delivered to another table, and we weren't able to get anyone's attention for that until getting our entrees. I am bad at using chopsticks and couldn't flag anyone down to get a fork, so I grabbed a spoon from the waiter station. Overall just kind of a weird service experience. The food was pretty good, it needed quite a bit of sauce but the meat was plentiful and was cooked perfectly. I enjoyed my limeade, too. Everything was a little overpriced for the experience but I'd give it another shot.

Great service, great food, great drinks! Try the ginger margarita! We really enjoyed our meal and our server was very attentive, friendly and helpful.

Parking: street parking, I didn't see that they had a parking lot. The food was not bad but service was awful. We came at a non peak time, around 2pm on a Sunday. There were probably about 4 tables there including ours so the bad service is inexcusable. We had to keep waiting for everything and waving the server down. At one point we just got up and paid at the bar after we got our checks. We ordered the spring rolls ($5, kind of pricey) and a medium pho ($11) for each of us. I got the #14 which was basically the combination. It was not bad.. but not great either. I'd probably only come here if it's convenient and I happen to be craving Vietnamese. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to revisit.

I can't say enough good things about this place. This is by far the best Vietnamese in town. The tofu appetizer is soooo delicious and I don't normally eat tofu. Ordered the #25 today for the first time and the beef was so tender and cooked just right and the fried rice was amazing! My boyfriend had his favorite which is the #24 which is also consistently delicious.
