Tụi mình thích món Zaru soba của Nhật lắm, món này đơn giản, tự làm ở nhà được, ăn lại thanh, mát, mới đầu thấy nó cũng thường, sau ăn riết đâm ra ghiền. Quán này được Fb gợi ý bán soba do đầu bếp làm sợi mì tại chỗ nên tụi mình mò tới ăn thử.

Địa chỉ:

78/1 Phạm Viết Chánh, P. 19, Quận Bình Thạnh, TP. HCM

Sau đây là 1 vài đánh giá của tụi mình:

Vị trí: không biết sao tụi mình đi mấy lần mới thấy. Vì tụi mình dựa theo tên quán trên Fb là Yamabushi nhưng tới nơi nó tên khác, lại không thấy địa chỉ nên rất hoang mang. Hóa ra nó đổi tên là Toride, nằm ngay đầu hẻm bên tay trái, hẻm này đối diện chốt dân phòng luôn nha.

Không gian: bên ngoài nhìn nhỏ nhỏ, treo lồng đèn, trang trí như các quán Nhật mình thường thấy trên phim. Bên ngoài có để menu để bạn tham khảo trước.

Lúc bước vô trong mình còn ngạc nhiên hơn, chưa bao giờ thấy quán nào bài trí như vậy. Vừa bước vào sẽ có quầy bếp bên phải, kế đến là 1 bàn dài, ở giữa bàn để trống, trát xi măng, lấp cát để mọi người để các lò nướng than lên, 2 hàng ghế dài 2 bên. Khách ăn phía dưới cứ vào ngồi san sát.

Mình để ý có trên lầu nữa, trên lầu để đèn xoay như vũ trường, mình đoán có quầy bar, nhưng mình không uống rượu/ bia nên không lên. Lần sau mình sẽ lên lầu khám phá thử.

Phục vụ: hơi ít người, nên đôi khi nếu món ăn lên chậm hoặc thiếu món bạn nên nhắc. Mấy bé phục vụ ở đây mặc đồ váy áo kiểu thủy thủ, có bạn thì choàng áo khoác kimono của Nhật. Anh chủ quán nhìn dị nhất, tóc dài, cột 2 bên và vẽ mặt như cướp biển, nhìn lạ và khá hài hước.

Thực đơn:

Mình thấy ngoài soba thì ở đây bán rượu bia và các món khác chủ yếu để nhắm ah. Thực đơn khá đơn giản nhưng cuối tuần ghé đây đổi không khí cũng vui.

Món ăn:

Tụi mình kêu 1 soda và 1 ly shochu. Soda không pha chanh đường nên uống như nước khoáng có ga (mình không chụp hình). Shochu ở đây có vị thơm nhè nhẹ, không nồng mùi cồn nhưng uống vào cảm giác nặng, cũng dễ xỉn đó.

Shochu (wheat) – 55k

Vì tới chủ yếu vì món soba nên tụi mình gọi cả soba nóng và soba lạnh luôn.

  • Soba lạnh sợi mì thơm, rất dai, nước chấm dọn kèm có mù tạt, củ cải và đồ chua. Nước chấm mặn mặn ngọt ngọt, chấm vừa, húp không vẫn cảm thấy ngon.
  • Soba nóng: tô này ăn với nước cảm giác nhiều hơn hẳn. Vì ngâm trong nước lèo nên sợi mì không còn giữ được độ dai nữa, mau rục, nước lèo thanh, không có gì đặc biệt. Mình thấy không nên gọi món này.

Sashimi cá hồi, nhìn miếng cá hồi màu không được bắt mắt lắm, và khi dọn ra cảm giác đá chưa tan hẳn nên miếng cá vẫn còn lạnh lạnh của đá và bị lạt, không được béo, lát cắt nhìn cũng hơi chán. Nói chung đây cũng là món lần sau đến mình sẽ không gọi.

Cá hồi – 55k

Để tráng bụng sau cùng, tụi mình gọi 1 món nướng: thịt heo, phô mai và kim chi cuốn trong giấy bạc nướng trên bếp than. Để trên bếp đến khi có khói bốc ra là mở ra ăn được, ăn khá ngon, kim chi đậm đà, có vị phô mai béo béo.

Giá cả: hợp lý, thích hợp để đổi gió, quán không tính VAT gì cả, muốn ăn no vẫn nên gọi thêm mì. Thiệt hại: ~440k/ 2 người.

Cảm ơn các bạn đã đọc bài viết. Hẹn gặp các bạn ở bài review tiếp theo.

  1. “Every morning I come downstairs and he’s already done the dishwasher, he’s already packed his lunch, and he’s ready to go,” Ruthe’s father, Ben, tells CNN Sports.

    “He’s just a disciplined kid. He goes to bed early, he looks after himself, he eats well, he looks after his sister. He’s just a good kid around the house in all ways, really. We’re very lucky.”

    Ruthe is next due to compete in the 1,500 meters at the Maurie Plant Meet in Melbourne on Saturday, and one target time to aim for will be his dad’s fastest time of 3:41.22 – three hundredths of a second faster than Ruthe’s current personal best.
    But he still has a way to go before he can call himself the most decorated runner in his family. Dad Ben and mom Jess are both former national champions who represented New Zealand on the world stage, while his maternal grandparents won European championship medals for Great Britain.

    His grandmother, Rosemary Stirling, arguably had the most impressive achievement: an 800m Commonwealth Games title from 1970.

    Despite his family pedigree, Ruthe was never under any pressure to take running seriously. His parents, in fact, didn’t allow him or his sister Daisy to train at all until they were 13, never wanting their identities to be tied solely to running.

    “It feels like it’s the right decision about now,” says Ben.

    But as he gradually starts to realize his potential, Ruthe, when pushed, admits to having big goals in the sport.

    “If I had to pick one thing, definitely Olympic gold,” he says. “I feel like that’s most runners’ dream and the biggest thing you can actually win. So that’ll definitely be the top of my bucket list.”
    The 2032 Olympics in Brisbane, Ruthe adds, would be a nice target. And as for the Los Angeles Games in three years’ time? “I’d actually love to try and qualify for LA 28,” he says. “I feel like that’ll be a tough goal. But if I do that, I’ll be really happy.”

    Already, Ruthe’s name is being mentioned in the same breath as Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the most successful middle-distance of this generation. It was his record as the youngest-ever four-minute miler that Ruthe took last week, and the New Zealander also beat Ingebrigtsen’s 1,500m record for a 15-year-old earlier this year.

    Ingebrigtsen’s success, Ruthe says, has given him hope that he too can “have a good future” in the sport. But his biggest source of motivation comes not from the two-time Olympic champion, but from those closest to him – his training group led by coach Craig Kirkwood and athlete Sam Tanner.

    The pair were instrumental in Ruthe’s recent mile time of 3:58.35, and it was five-time national champion Tanner who paced him perfectly around four laps of the track on his way to the record.

  2. Aged 15, New Zealander Sam Ruthe has already run a four-minute mile. He would ‘love to try and qualify’ for the 2028 Olympics

    Sam Ruthe had the eyes of thousands on him when he stepped onto a running track in Auckland just over a week ago.

    Undaunted by the occasion, Ruthe went on to become the first 15-year-old to run a sub-four-minute mile, even managing a nonchalant shrug of the shoulders as he crossed the finish line.

    The race was almost entirely engineered for the high school student to break the fabled four-minute barrier – a feat first achieved by Roger Bannister more than 70 years ago – but the weight of running history was a burden that Ruthe seemed to bear lightly.

    The first three laps, he later said in a video documenting the race, “felt pretty comfortable – nothing too crazy.”

    Perhaps the most intimidating part of his achievement occurred when Ruthe returned to school the next day, only to be immediately called into the principal’s office.

    “He’s like, ‘Alright, so you’re gonna have to go up on stage and we’ll get the whole school to clap you,’” Ruthe tells CNN Sports’ Patrick Snell. “It was really scary, actually. I headed into class and everyone thought I was famous.”

    It’s easy to forget, given his history-making performance last week, that Ruthe is like most other 15-year-olds in New Zealand. He goes to school, spends time with his friends, and helps with chores around the house.

    He also just happens to be one of the most exciting middle-distance runners on the planet, one of the latest star athletes to emerge from sports-mad New Zealand.

  3. Tyler O’Neill hits record-extending sixth straight Opening Day home run

    For six seasons in a row, Tyler O’Neill has homered on MLB Opening Day.

    Making his debut for the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday, O’Neill started the season with his record-extending sixth straight home run on Opening Day during his team’s 12-2 win against the Toronto Blue Jays.

    No other player has homered on more than four consecutive Opening Days, with the 29-year-old outfielder’s three-run shot sending the Orioles into a 5-0 lead at the top of the third at Rogers Centre.
    Todd Hundley (1994-97), Gary Carter (1977-80) and Yogi Berra (1955-58) all hit four consecutive home runs on Opening Day, while the Major League Baseball record for the total number of Opening Day home runs is held jointly by Adam Dunn, Ken Griffey Jr. and Frank Robinson on eight.

    “I’m just not trying to make too much of it,” O’Neill told reporters about his streak. “I’m just trying to go out, have a good first at-bat and see what the game gives me from there.

    “Obviously, I understand what’s going on, but it’s not like I’m going out there trying to do anything crazy.”

    O’Neill, who signed a three-year, $49.5 million contract to join Baltimore from the Boston Red Sox in the offseason, finished three-for-three with three RBIs and two walks against the Blue Jays.

    “It’s a little different when the lights turn on and you’ve got to show up, so it was really cool to see all the guys show up today,” he said. “We got after it out there.”

    While the first two games of the MLB regular season took place between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers in Tokyo last week, Thursday marked the first official day of the season in the United States.

  4. Look of the Week: Naomi Watts is twinning with her canine co-star
    orbiter
    What’s white and black and red all over? Naomi Watts and her 145lb co-star, Bing, a Great Dane, taking a dog walk on the crimson carpet for the New York premiere of “The Friend.”

    Directed by Scott Mcgehee and adapted from Sigrid Nunez’s 2018 novel of the same name, the film — set to release in US theaters on March 28 and in the UK on April 25 — follows a solitary writer and teacher named Iris whose life is upended after a close friend bequeaths his giant pet dog to her following his death.

    In front of the cameras Monday evening, the “Mulholland Drive” actor and Bing looked like they were cut from the same cloth — both in temperament and in their matching black polka dots. Watts was dressed in a white gown with fur-tufted spots that bore a striking resemblance to Bing’s own coat, but the Cruella de Vil comparisons ended there. Instead, Watts and Bing were captured in the throes of lots of paw-shakes, puppy kisses and head scratches.
    The dress that Watts wore, titled the “Domino” and designed by Jacquemus, debuted during the Spring-Summer 2025 Paris couture shows in January. The look was both elegant and offbeat, with a high-cowl neck and open-back, asymmetrical waistline that mimicked a French tuck. It was styled with a skirt that sprouted furry black polka dots, which close up were unnervingly reminiscent of body hair. But from afar they gave the impression of soft-edged dabs of watercolor bleeding downstream.

    The look was styled by Jeanann Williams, who has also been working with “The White Lotus” star Leslie Bibb. Williams’ decision to coordinate Watts with Bing was a new take on method dressing — the thematic styling trend that has dominated celebrity red carpets since Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” in 2023. Since then, the sartorial trope, which connects actors to their on-screen characters through clothes, has become somewhat tired — with some observers claiming that the 7-month-long “Wicked” press tour, in which Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande became prisoners to the colors green and pink, was peak saturation.

  5. Critics say this power imbalance is clear in the 2016 contract Guyana signed with Exxon. Under the agreement, Exxon keeps 75% of everything it makes from its oil operations in Guyana, with the remaining 25% shared equally between the company and the government, which also takes a 2% royalty.

    “It was a bad deal,” Ali said in the BBC interview, but he has rejected the idea of unilaterally changing the agreement, which was signed by the previous government. He says the next contract with Exxon will be on different terms.

    An Exxon spokesperson said the contract is “globally competitive for countries at a similar stage of exploration” and said Guyana is averaging $1 billion a year in “oil profits.”

    Exxon has also faced a number of lawsuits over its potential environmental impact, many filed by Melinda Janki, a Guyanese international lawyer, who drafted the country’s Environmental Protection Act back in the 1990s.

    A big victory for Guyana’s people and environment came in 2023, when the court ruled Exxon should have unlimited liability for the costs of any oil spill. Exxon has since appealed the ruling and has posted a $2 billion guarantee while it awaits the appeal outcome.
    Exxon said this commitment supplements “its robust balance sheets … and the insurance policies they already had in place.” Janki says this isn’t enough. Offshore oil spills can be extremely expensive to deal with, the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill cost nearly $70 billion to clean up.

    The push and pull between those who say oil offers Guyana a brighter future and those who fear the industry’s impact will continue.

    Exxon said it’s had a positive impact on the country, including employing more than 6,200 people, investing more than $2 billion with local Guyanese businesses since 2015 and spending more than $43 million on community projects.
