KANDA SOBA
칸다소바 홍대점 Kanda Soba Hongdae Kanda is the Tokyo district whose ramen shop, posts say, taught the chain its mazesoba; soba here simply means noodles.
Compiled from 21 blog posts read in fullSources →
Kanda Soba Hongdae is a mazesoba and ramen counter on the ground floor of 51-6 Wausan-ro, near Sangsu Station. You order at a kiosk and eat at a long bar. In 2026 posts, mazesoba and tonkotsu iekei ramen cost 12,000 won and the pork-skin abura soba 14,500 won; once the noodles are gone, staff will give you a little free rice to mix into the leftover sauce. We read 30 posts from March 2025 to October 2026. We set aside four (a barbershop in the same building's basement, the Gyeongbokgung branch and a job ad), three only list the shop, and 23 describe an actual visit.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Ordering is by kiosk; nine posts say they paid there first. Two describe the queue routine: order at the kiosk, wait outside, go in when your number is called. One says the food was ready the moment they sat down.
- Seating is at the bar. Six posts say the room is all bar counter; two say only 'mostly bar seats' or 'bar seats too'. No post mentions a four-person table. One post notes the stools are fixed to the floor and bags go on an overhead shelf, awkward while others eat; another liked the window-side counter.
- Waits are split: five posts queued, five walked straight in. Of the walk-ins, two arrived at the 11:30 opening and one around 2 p.m. on a weekend. The only post that timed its wait says 10 minutes. One sat down at once on a Friday evening but saw a line on the way out; another warns of long lunch queues.
- Saltiness leans strong: three posts found it salty, two did not, one was undecided. The iekei ramen comes at 100% or 80% saltiness; both posts that ordered 100% found it too salty, while one that ordered 80% was happy. Four posts called the food greasy.

There is no lot of its own. Two posts park at the nearby Far East Broadcasting lot; one gives the rate as 2,000 won for 30 minutes plus 1,000 won per 10 minutes.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
2 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
No post describes the floor from experience. The address says ground floor, and the basement of the building is a barbershop. We don't know whether there are steps at the entrance.
No post says whether the entrance has a step or whether a wheelchair or stroller gets in. One post notes the bar stools are fixed to the floor, which may matter, but nobody addressed access directly.
No post mentions the restroom, whether it is inside or split by gender. That means nobody wrote about it, not that there isn't one.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 24 posts we gathered, 3 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Prices went up. Posts from September and November 2025 give 11,000 won for mazesoba and 13,500 won for the pork-skin abura soba; from August 2026 they read 12,000 and 14,500 won. One October 2026 post still says 11,000 won, but five posts from the same period disagree, so we treat it as outdated.
- Twelve posts list hours, and eleven agree: daily 11:30–21:30, break 15:30–17:00, last orders 15:00 and 21:00. One gives closing as 21:00. Almost all are copied from Naver, and none mentions a closing day.
- Nine posts copy the phone number 0507-1375-1660. Whether it takes bookings is unconfirmed; only one copied info block says no reservations.
- No post describes a visit with children; with bar seating only, we don't know if there are high chairs.
