Chef B's Soto Ayam is back for the cooler weather! Indonesian Chicken Noodle Soup. Slow cooked broth of turmeric, lemongrass, galangal and candlenut, glass rice noodles, shredded chicken, and organic cabbage. Served in a cup (below) or a double sized bowl during lunch and dinner. Nourishing through and through.

This dear man brought his lovely sweetheart to Blue Toba to propose to her the other night. Clearly she said 'yes!' Super sweet to be a part their celebration. A bottle of bubbly on the house! Yay love!

Today marks Blue Toba's three year anniversary of our grand opening in our downtown relocation from Little Blue Toba on the south end of town! A leap of faith then, and to this day, it is still one. It is probably the craziest, most 'risky' thing we've ever done. And no matter what, it is the most courageous and beautiful decision we made to expand and create such a rare find, such a profound invitation that comes from some depth and drive that even with the magnitude of adversity we have faced, Blue Toba's light and love keeps growing. Stronger than ever and rooted in the essence of what we all call a labor of pure love and heart. Thank you all for your continuous gratitude, encouragement, and support. YOU are the reason we are still here. ❤

Blue Toba's core team: Chef B, Sol, me (Leslie), Julie, Liam, Amber & Dedi. We took them all out to a beautiful, delicious dinner at Tlalli on A St to celebrate and appreciate our team, and to have a sad, but happy 'goodbye for now' to our beloved Liam. After two years with us, he's off to Italy to study Commedia Dell'Arte, and it's exactly the perfect thing for him to be doing! We are so fortunate to know and love these folks! We have crazy fun when we are together at Blue Toba, and on a day off! They are the BEST!

Set up for table of 15, then they arrive! With permission to share, four brothers and a group of their closest friends came in, in honor of the brothers' father. Tonight was reserved for his 'celebration of life.' One of the brothers said his father's last meal was at Blue Toba. I think tonight was a year to the near date. They came to celebrate his goodness and memory with us. What a lovely, kind, gracious group of people we had the utmost pleasure to host. They asked for Chef B to come out and when he did, they applauded him with such gratitude and enthusiasm, other tables joined in! Cannot tell you how fortunate we at Blue Toba feel with all the love that comes in through our doors, and how we get to carry that with us everyday. 💖

Dear Blue Toba friends, it was requested of us to take this sign down, so we complied. We want to inform you that there has been ongoing construction at Blue Toba. We are so sorry for its inconvenience. It is not our choice to have the construction done, nor in any way, what we would have chosen.

The wall being built turns out to not be in compliance with the restaurant's building code and safety. One of our two bathrooms has been inaccessible to us for over one month, is also not in compliance with the restaurant's building code!

Construction has been halted on both until compliance is met by the builder. We hope these two issues will be remedied soon. We are grateful for your compassion in this unfortunate disregard of Blue Toba, our staff, and customers.

We are open for business as usual and look forward to seeing you and serving you with all of our goodness and heart. ❣️

Last night a woman came in to treat herself to dinner. When I went to check on her after delivering her meal to her, she had tears in her eyes. I asked her if she was ok, if there was anything I could do. She said she was moved with so much emotion because the food is so beautiful, she could feel every bite fill herself with love, and that it had inside of it, so much reverence, heart and kindness. And the way our space is so ceremonially adorned and honored, she could feel the depth of everything we put into it, that it welled her up with such emotion.
One day soon, you all will know the things we have endured and faced being in the space we are in now. One day you will know the whole story. But a moment like this, from this lovely woman's tears pouring out by being moved so profoundly, is everything to us. It reminds us why we do what we do. We will never forget this. And we are so grateful everyday, to be here.
