Editorial Review for Soba Lounge – by Sam Edelmann
In Short
Like all the restaurants in the Big Burrito chain, the interiors are well designed, with beautiful Murano glass lighting fixtures throughout. Colors here are muted, as is the noise level, except near the bar. Expect to encounter upscale yuppies and club scene students. Chef Bill Fuller does wonders with dishes like the crispy kimchi and vegetarian dumplings with a roasted red pepper dipping sauce. The pork dumplings are outstanding, as is the pad thai.

Although the menu can be a bit sparse, they switch it up often enough to keep things fresh. The portions can be a bit on the small side for the price, but the food is always excellent and the decor is fantastic. The wait staff is always attentive and spot-on, and the kitchen likes to send out goodies at random, which I've never really gotten anywhere else. Considering the quality of the food, the prices are far from unreasonable. This has become my personal favorite Big Burrito place, and I really enjoy going there. On the down-side, the crowd can tend a bit much toward the yuppie end, which can be either offputting or a positive, depending on.. well, how much of a yuppie you are. Bar tends to be filled with aging singles, especially on the weekends, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend drinking there if you're under, say, 30. But overall, great food, reasonable prices gorgeous atmosphere.
Pros: Great menu, excellent food, wonderful service, amazing decor, great neighborhood
Cons: Sparse parking, so trendy the crowd looks like it came out of a cell phone commercial

Interesting menu, nice bar, better than average food. This Shadyside standard is well run and always clean (not a given in Pittsburgh) with good service.
