Bar Soba

 Student Eats Glasgow - Bar Soba 

Bar Soba is an Asian Fusion Street food restaurant serving both food and drinks. The menu options and cocktails are original and different from traditional Asian restaurants.

The Atmosphere - 5/5

This Bar Soba trip I visited the Merchant Square location, which is in my opinion, the best. Any restaurant that sits in the communal area of Merchant Square is guaranteed to have pretty surroundings with the cobbled ground and fairy lights draped across the high ceilings. Within Bar Soba itself there is a lot of Asian culture inspired graffiti style art on the walls.

The Food - 2/5

I am so upset to say that the food has gone notably downhill. I got a selection of three small plates, Korean Fried Chicken which was the best of the lot, Chicken Satay which had no flavour and Dirty Katsu Fries which were okay but nothing special. I don't like to be negative but after recent trips it's not somewhere I'd rush back to.

The Service - 5/5 

I have only good things to say about the service, staff were friendly and helpful when seating us and serving throughout the meal. The ordering process has changed with a QR code you scan to see the menu, order, and pay.

The Price - 2/5

The initial pricing of the menu was decent, not particularly expensive with the small plates charging close to £5 for each. My meal without the discount would have cost me £16.75 which is decent for a meal but there are definitely cheaper options. 

The Deals and Discounts - 5/5

This is likely the best deal I will come across in this blog, to get 50% off your entire bill and 25% off drinks is a massive discount and makes all the difference. I may not have loved the meal but for £13 between two of us it was tasty enough.
