Soba Asian Kitchen ( Sandusky ) — Restaurant in Perkins Township

The good, the bad, and the honest:

Ordered on Doordash

The Good: The Pork Belly Bowl was amazing... A little greasier but I kind of expect that for a pork belly dish. The flavor of the pork was extremely well complimented by the rest of the bowl. The flavor was fresh pork belly straight off the grill. Everything in the bowl seasoned great. Loved it.

The bad: The sides: The fried rice is entirely too greasy. I tasted more grease than I did rice, which is made worse by the fact that the "extra fried rice" image on door dash shows it with veggies... (that may or may not be their fault however the end result was underwhelming either way)This was just rice, and grease, and maybe a hint of seasoning. The Gyoza were okay, but for the price a bit small on the portion side of things and not really spectacular enough to justify it. The spring rolls were actually really good, but still suffered for the portion size... but given they were tasty, i'll let that slide. Lastly, I don't know what it is with doordashing but they blame it on the restaurants so I flaunt this on both ends: I ordered the japanese soda... Didn't get the japanese soda... I paid 3.50 for it. If it's on their end all I can say that doordash customers pay just like anyone else... more even... Please make sure it goes out the door.

The Honest: Try them out. I hope they work on some things, but there is some top notch food here and despite some minor faults, an overall...

My wife and I were excited to try a new place for dinner.

Immediately when we walked up, we felt unwelcome as a group of 4 employees were sitting around talking and immediately stopped looking like they were bothered as they then drug themselves to their stations. One passed us as he went outside without even a smile. The 2 working the kitchen I did not see wash their hands either (but can't say for sure if they did or not).

We were not greeted by anyone.

The female running the cash register was wearing a crop top exposing a large part of her stomach, which does not seem to comply with health codes. Right as we were ready to order, she took a call to the restaurant and as she was answering, proceeded to casually pick her bellybutton.

At this point I decided I was not hungry, but my wife was afraid to cause a scene and still ordered 1 bowl (Turns out she did not see the bellybutton picking).

As we waited for the food, the employee that left for a smoke came back in and immediately went behind the stove/food area without washing his hands.

We received our food and left without any goodbye or come again. After discussing our shared experience, my wife's order remained unopened and we will not be revisiting...

So normally an awesome experience with this restaurant. That’s the ONLY reason I gave 3 stars instead of 1. Tonight I’m completely disappointed with them. Ordered 3 meals, $36 total. No coupon, okay. No biggie. So I get to the car with this food and the FLIMSY CHEAP Paper Bag they crammed all 3 dinners in busted open and there was my families food all over the floor of my car along with the extra sauce I asked for on the side. Seriously?!?! I get it their being environmentally conscious- Great! But why did they have to cram all 3 dinners in the same bag?!?! Those bags CANNOT handle that especially with the liquids from the sauce combined with the weight of the food and the heat. I’m SO SAD that tonight’s dinner was such a disappointment because we didn’t get to eat it!!! I’m going to take my own bag to pick up future orders from there from now on and another thing, I also had asked them to put a mark on the lid of the one of the 3 that was different from the other two to distinguish between the dinners and they didn’t do that either, not that it mattered since they ended up combined in a hot mess on the floor of my car. So...
