Best Soba Noodles of 2025

"These noodles are fantastic for various dishes. I find them to have a better flavor than those made with overly processed flour. They cook quickly and hold their shape well in recipes. I really appreciate that they are separated by three, making it easy to use just the right amount."

"I got a bit tired of rice and remembered how much I enjoyed soba noodles. Now I love to have them with a dipping sauce and some extra sides."

"I'm really enjoying these soba noodles! They are easy to prepare and taste wonderful. Although the package suggests cooking for 4 minutes, I've found that 3 minutes gives me the best results. The ingredients are also great: 69% wheat flour, 29% buckwheat flour, and just 2% salt."

"I had never tried buckwheat noodles before, but I'm really glad I found these. They cook in just 2 minutes with boiling water and are a great pantry staple when I'm feeling lazy. Their portion size is perfect for quick meals!"

"I love using these noodles for hot summer lunches. After boiling, I rinse them with cold water and add ice cubes. Dipping them in Shirakiku Soba Noodle Soup Base makes for the best lunch ever, especially when paired with a small salad and sushi!"

"These are very tasty and compare favorably with the soba noodles I used to buy at my local market. I'm happy to have found a quality alternative that I can enjoy at home."

“I really appreciate how the noodles are packaged. They arrived unbroken, and the portions are evenly divided. Great taste and value for money!”

“I love this pasta because it cooks in just a few minutes. I often add it to stir-fried veggies and butter, or sometimes just sesame oil, salt, and pepper. The nutty taste and tender texture make it a fantastic choice, especially since I’m a Type 2 diabetic.”

“I can never find buckwheat noodles in stores. They cook quickly and are high in protein, which is essential for my vegan diet. Adding them to mixed vegetables and tofu creates a satisfying, healthy meal!”

"I enjoy using Hime brand Soba noodles. They are perfect for spaghetti or Yakisoba, and I love how many great pasta dishes can be created with them. Japanese pasta is always my choice over typical store-bought options."

"Having sampled every soba on Amazon, I found Hime to be the best in flavor and pleasure. Thinner and cleaner than others, it cooks perfectly and doesn’t stick. 1490 mg of salt is a lot, but the taste is unmatched."

"Of all Japanese foods, cold soba with dipping sauce is my favorite. While it contains both buckwheat and wheat flours, I wish they would increase the buckwheat proportion for more flavor and fiber."

"I absolutely love the mochi-like texture and the mild flavor of these noodles. After boiling them for a few minutes, I rinse them thoroughly to prevent sticking. Cooking them al dente is perfect when adding broth later, or just after al dente if I'm tossing them with sesame dressing and greens. They are fantastic!"

"These noodles have a much better flavor than traditional ramen because they contain less salt and are made from rice. I appreciate their texture and how they absorb flavors. If you're on a low salt diet, these are a wonderful alternative to regular ramen. Just add your own veggies and seasonings since they come plain. I highly recommend them!"

"I've tried other products from this brand and understand the challenges of making gluten-free noodles. However, I feel there’s room for improvement. After cooking, they definitely need to be rinsed and blanched; otherwise, they start to fall apart."

"These noodles are awesome for yakisoba. They cook and cool very quickly. We love them so much that we're on auto-ship!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by these rice noodles. They cook quickly and hold up well, even when slightly overcooked. The texture and flavor are great, and they're not pricey at all!"

"I'm looking for a gluten-free option and thought these would be a nice change for my strict diet. I learned the hard way to follow the cooking directions closely; otherwise, they can be awful if overcooked."

"I was excited to try the gluten-free option, but I found out that it’s not a true soba noodle."

"While it has a healthy profile, I was disappointed to see that wheat flour is the main ingredient."

"I don't eat a lot, so when I do, I try to maximize my protein. These noodles are delicious and packed with protein. I really love them!"

"As someone with celiac, I've had no issues with these noodles. They're great for a gluten-free cold soba experience, and I highly recommend giving them a try!"

"Having made soba dishes since childhood, I was disappointed with these noodles. They turned out gummy and tasteless, unlike what I’m used to. I'd suggest sticking to authentic Japanese brands for better quality."

“These noodles are authentic and deliver a restaurant-quality soba experience at home. The ingredients are top-notch, with buckwheat as the first ingredient and no added salt. I highly recommend them!”
