SOBAQ is open as usual
We're open for dinner as usual from 17:00 on Monday, October 26 (as it's a Monday, 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

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.
