<upd_detl>- Is 中華そば really soba (buckwheat noodles), or is it in fact just ramen?
- It seems that at least the "ramen" sense should be moved to the start of 
the definition.
- I think it's another example (like やきそば) where "soba" refers to noodles, 
*not* specifically buckwheat noodles.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>Searching Wikipedia for 中華そば, you end up at the Wikipedia article on ラーメン:
ラーメン（中華そばから転送）
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%AD%E8%8F%AF%E3%81%9D%E3%81%B0
.

e.g. ラーメンは、茹でた中華麺と汁（スープ）と具からなる日本の料理。漢字表記は拉麺または老麺・柳麺。別
名は中華そばおよび支那そば・南京そばなど。
.
- 明鏡 says 中華風の麺類。特に、ラーメン。 
- Shogakukan Progessive says simply "Chinese noodles"</upd_refs>
