Looking for a quick meal before our flight, SATO Ramen showed up in my search. It's a tiny…read morerestaurant with about two tables and some counter seats. There is a form to fill out for your order and water is self service. You also go to the register to pay, so I wouldn't call this a full-service restaurant. It's super casual. We ordered three ramens - * Tonkotsu Ramen * Sato Ramen $16.99 * Sato Ramen (no bean sprouts) $16.99 The noodles were not great - they were clumped together. The egg was perfectly cooked though. The tonkotsu broth was not very smooth but the sato broth was better. They do offer a frequent diner card. Overall, SATO Ramen was just an okay experience for us.

They have incredible (and unique) sushi offerings and the flavors were delicioussss.

Our order was to go, so we didn't get a chance to see how the service was however, whomever was working the counter was very friendly and kind! Would absolutely order from here again!

Every other restaurant we only liked a few rolls, but here everything was delicious. The sushi was fresh and even came in a cute little boat. We especially loved the Niagara lava roll (deep fried sushi). The owner is extremely kind and even trained in Japan. He is also very friendly and you can tell he really cares about the quality of his food and your experience. Highly recommend!

Service was prompt and to the point. Very respectful staff Food- Had many of the sushi rolls Rainbow, Chopper, kamikaze and Akazaru. Every single roll was amazing and full of taste. I don't know where they get their fish from but it is some of the freshest fish I've had in the area. Also had the spicy miso ramen which was another perfectly made meal. The spice was full of taste but not so hot that it took away from the meal 10/10 restaurant.

We were seated quickly by a friendly waiter and our order was taken as soon as we were ready. We ordered a hot tea, a pumkin korokke (because it was new to both of us), scallop & shrimp hibachi lunch and sushi sashimi lunch with salad. The tea came out in a plastic pot, which I found kind of odd and was not a fan of; neither was my dad. The tea itself was tasty, but I'm not sure what kind it was. The pumpkin cake was good. Basically mashed pumpkin battered and fried. It came out super fresh and hot with a sweet chili dipping sauce. The salad was okay; the dressing was not very gingery or carroty, more creamy with a sweet taste. Our main meals were good. Nothing that knocked our socks off, but great portions for the price. The place could use a little sprucing up. It was not super clean and some decor seemed to be old/need fixing.

Misuta Chows is known as the best place is Buffalo for Japanese Bar Food, an establishment that captures the meaning of the term "Late Night Bite". This place screams Hang Out, where you can come later in the Evening to get your Grub on. After watching the Buffalo Bandits be triumphant once again, we needed to find somewhere to get some Food. I called about 4 different Restaurants. It was a little after 10:30 at night, I then called Misuta Chows and they told me that the Kitchen was still open for another 25 Minutes. We rushed on over to the Main Street area parked and walked into this Casual Setting. Once we sat at the Bar, we put in our Drink Orders, I got a Cocktail named after one of the most Iconic Cartoon Characters of all time - Spongebob Squarepants. What I thought was gonna be a square shaped glass filled with Orange Juice and Lemon Liqueur or Vodka. It turned out to be a Mason Jar filled with a vibrant pink concoction of Milagro Tequila, Prosecco and Grenadine. Along with both Lemon and Pineapple Juice, the title was a bit misleading. Even after finishing the drink, it wasn't enough for me to do Spongebob's high-pitched Laugh. Emily got the Burning Pumpkin that had Pumpkin Whiskey, Rum Chata and Chai Tea Latte. Mike had the Tailgate Toddy, what looked like Hot Tea was packed with Alpine Spice Whiskey, Alpine Preserve Liqueur, Honey Liqueur and Plum Bitters served in a tall White Mug. After sipping our drinks for a short Bit, we put in our food orders before the Kitchen closed. Also while I was there, I saw that one of my chef buddies, Andrew Berger was in the back cranking out the Food. For our Entrees Emily got the Pork Belly Rice Bowl with Pickled Vegetables and a Soft-Boiled Egg. Mike got the Coconut Chicken Laksa with a Skewer standing up in the Middle of the Bowl. I got a bowl of Lobster & Shrimp Ramen and some Pork Belly Bahn Mi Bao Buns. The Broth was jam packed with so much intense Shellfish flavor, the Egg gave it some Richness and Sweetness from the Corn. The Seafood was cooked perfectly, I slurped down those Noodles with Gusto. On the Buns that were lightly Toasted, the Pork was Crispy jammed inside the Buns with Cilantro and Jalapeno's, it was reminiscent of the Vietnamese Classic Sandwich. I had another Cocktail to go with it, it was a "Monster" of a Drink called Godzilla. Named after the iconic Monster himself. Vibrant green drink made from Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey, Green Tea Simple Syrup, Fresh Lemon and Peach. Its a true shame that this drink didn't give me Atomic Breath that Godzilla does to defeat his Enemies but a few more of those and I would've had an Atomic Hangover. On the 2nd Floor, I loved all the Pinball machines, the Skeeball, the Dance Floor and the Pink Hello Kitty Stairway hidden in the Back. Its a shame that Misuta Chows has closed its Doors, I don't think there will be place like that in Buffalo ever again. I say to Misuta Chows, SAYONARA. !!!

Videos games are so nostalgic and they have all the best ones. This is such a gem to the Buffalo area bc it's close enough for a quick late night dip and has a cool atmosphere that is sure to be a highlight of the night.

A little music would've been nice for the dead air but at least you can conversate without having to talk over loud noise Overall I gave it a 5 because the food came out hot (even tho 2 dishes were priced too expensive for the quantity imo); it was delicious and my kiddos (with one being a picky eater) enjoyed everything :)

And it was the good kind of california rolls...not the fake crab stick...the salad style (see my pic). The decor is quirky and kind of a no frills type place. Nothing fancy or high end by any stretch. Quite a few tables occupied, and lots of takeout orders. Seems the word is out that they have delicious food. I do recommend if you want your sushi fix.

I would have preferred steamed dumplings, but there was no choice, fried only. The taste was very nice and they were pleasantly crunchy. (photo) I loved the broth of the soup; it was plenty hot enough and perfect for cold and flu season. I would have liked broth only, and I asked if I could have without the rice noodles. Yes, I could, but the price would be the same. Okay, so I took the noodles on the side, to go. Even so, I was shocked to see the size of the soup bowl. It had to be at least a quart of soup, with chicken, wood ear mushrooms, bok choy, fried tofu. The rice noodles would have put the soup to the brim. Seems there is only one size of everything. If all of the soups are served in these quart bowls, plan on sharing with one or two others if ordering soup. They will give you extra bowls and spoons, as they did for us. Even with the two of us having some soup, I took about a third home. (photo) I had one of the Crispy Pies, scallion and pork. The filling was too thin or maybe the dough was too thick. Or a little of both. (photo) Employees are friendly and pleasant, eager to be helpful. JBC is a new and welcome addition to the Marshall's Plaza. Prices of some things may seem high, but if the foods we had today are typical, plan on sharing or taking some home.
