Wednesday, July 29, 2026 is "Asalha Bucha Day," and Thursday, July 30 is "Khao Phansa Day" (the beginning of Buddhist Lent). These are especially important holidays in Buddhist Thailand, and by law, alcohol sales are suspended nationwide on both days (commonly known as "dry days").
SOBAQ is open as usual on both days
We're open for dinner as usual from 17:00 on both days (as these are weekdays, we do not offer lunch service). Food, our black-sesame nama-soba, and soft drinks are all available as always. The only thing on pause is alcohol service.
Alcohol Service Pause
Wednesday, July 29 and Thursday, July 30, 2026 (all day, both days)
Beer, highballs, sours, wine, sake, shochu, and all other alcoholic beverages are affected. This is a nationwide rule for restaurants across Thailand, so we appreciate your understanding.
Enjoy SOBAQ at Home Too — Delivery Available
Many of you may be spending these two days relaxing at home or the office. SOBAQ's dishes are also available for delivery via GRAB and LINE MAN. Enjoy our nama-soba, fried dishes, and grilled dishes from the comfort of home.
A Great Time to Enjoy a Relaxed Meal
These two days are a great chance to enjoy warm soba, rice bowls, set meals, and dishes from our popular ranking at a relaxed pace. If you'd like to enjoy alcohol with your meal, we look forward to welcoming you through Tuesday, July 28, or from Friday, July 31 onward.
