    Takoyaki
    Annie C.

    Oh my gosh, move over other milk and tea places, the mochi shack is fire! Stopped by with my kiddos for a snack and we each ordered a drink instead of the usual sharing (our trust is low when it comes to milk tea bubble tea and any type tea in general). We all loved the drinks we got (as well as the sip we stole from each other)!!! Kiddos also loved the food - donuts were sooo cute and tasty! The spring roll was also good and because I read it from the other high yelp reviews I ordered the takoyaki. Threw the first one in my mouth and it was burning hot but I managed to chew and swallow - very tasty! The second one I took small bites and that was a bad idea cuz I saw the fat piece of octopus and well... lost the excitement to continue eating it. I really tried to finish it but it felt like it was alive. Even the topping seemed to be flapping like it had a heartbeat - I kid you not. So as not to be wasteful I doggy bagged the rest and gave it to a friend to try (not sure if she liked it or not). Semi-live octopus snack aside, we can't wait to come back to try the other food on the menu! + friendly service + comfy seating indoors

    Flaming Hot Cheetos Cheesestick

    I wanted to stop in here after reading some of the reviews for it and see for myself what kind of stuff they had here. I am a pretty big fan of fair food and corndogs rank pretty high on that list. We got a few other items to try too just to make sure we tried at least a few things off the menu. We ended up with a regular korean fried corndog, a flaming hot cheetos corndog that was half cheese inside, a couple of the boba teas, some of their BBQ wings, and two mochi donuts. The donuts were the toughest to pick. So many great flavors but we ended up with the fruity pebble and the nutella donuts. We waited for our food and the interior has some nice tables and chairs. The decor in here is also pretty fun. The staff work really quickly here as it was busy with orders but we still got everything we ordered fairly quickly. All in all, I really enjoyed all the food here. The corndogs were SO GOOD. The batter on them was lighter and better than a traditional corndog. The donuts were delicious, and even though I am not a huge fan of the breaded wings, they still tasted really good. We will definitely be back for more soon!

    Gyoza 6ps
    Nunki W.

    My daughter told me about this place she saw it somewhere online. Since it was closed by my work, I was like why not... so my friend and i venture out during lunch. It was in small plaza strip near old Walmart in Walden. I would have past it not knowing it. My friend ordered gyoza, original hotdog and ramune. While I ordered takoyaki, potato half/half and Thai tea. My friend let me tried her gyoza. It was very good. It was fried crispy and just slight different than regular gyoza. Takoyaki? Awesome! Even my friend enjoyed it. I made sure she didn't see the tentacle when I split it and give half to her lol. My hot dog was ok. I was hoping for more flavor outside. I didn't get the donuts. I'm tempted. Well next time. Overall I recommend to try this unique place.

    Cheesecake, Fruity Pebble, Churro Donuts
    Evelyn B.

    The donuts are very light and airy, out of the 3 flavors I enjoyed the cheesecake donut, the fruity pebble was okay but the churro was not good at all. The churro donut has no flavor, not sure if they had an off day but I wouldn't try that flavor again.

    Flaming Hot Cheetos mozzarella
    Jessica C.

    This place is so cute and everything I have tried has been great. It's giving fair food in the best way! The lady who cashed us out was very nice, and had been dealing with a difficult customer prior, so kudos to her for not letting him get to her. Now for the food... the flaming hot mozzarella corn dog was delicious but has no spice whatsoever to it. Also had the cheesecake mochi donut, so good ! The texture was very similar to fried dough and it has a little wedge of cheesecake. Yum! All in all was two thumbs up! Just wish the flaming hot was actually spicy.

    Wasn't really sure what to expect from this place, but I did not leave disappointed. I tried a couple things off the menu, including one of the donuts that are part of the namesake, an original "hotdog", and a brown sugar milk tea. I got a Cheesecake donut, which was topped with a little teaser of cheesecake on it. Fortunately I had read a little bit about mochi donuts beforehand so I knew it would be something a little chewier, and it definitely was but I enjoyed it. The original "hotdog" was essentially a corndog, lol. It was huge and came with a serving of ketchup. Not a cornmeal breading, but something more crunchy. It was a nice little snack. The last thing I tried was the brown sugar milk tea which I've had before at other places and this one was good. I liked the way it was served. Though I got things to-go, I appreciated it seeing the fresh batch of donuts being prepared in the kitchen, and the staff were friendly as well. The place offers a menu full of other things I'd consider coming back for to try, such as Korean fried chicken.

    Mochi donuts and Taro bubble tea
    Tippy P.

    My daughter was craving for bubble tea and I was looking for dessert. It was later in the evening and we found this restaurant that closes at 10pm. Small restaurant, has one table in the front and seating along the hallway to the back. We ordered mochi donuts which were made to order if there was none in the front and my daughter ordered Taro bubble tea. There was a group ahead of us so the wait was over 10 minutes. We didn't mind because we were not in a rush to go anywhere. I ordered lychee, ube, and rose flavor donuts. I think I liked ube the best. Lychee tasted like the imitation flavor.

    This place is the bomb makes you not even want to eat a regular donut anymore. All u other donut selling shops count your days lmao. This was more of like a fried dough in my opinion with a delicious topping I also tried the peanut butter mochi which didn't make the picture. If you're ever around the Galleria mall stop on by this is more of a Korean style dessert I think.

    Lychee donut, Mango Donut, Ferrero Roche Donut, Fruity Pebble Donut, Green Tea Donut
    Brittany K.

    The prices are a bit much, I'll start there. $18.99 for a 6 pack is a bit steep. But I treated myself for my birthday so I went and ordered. Ordering was really easy and straightforward! I actually ordered a bunch of different flavors I wasn't too sure I would like because I wanted to try something new. The flavors: Lychee, Mango, Ferrero Roche, Fruity Pebble, Green Tea. And then I tried to make it $25 so I could get the free bubble tea, but even adding a $5 drink didn't get me close enough. So if you want to get a free bubble tea, get like 7 or 8 donuts and a bubble tea. -Bubble tea was made and packaged fresh in front of me in their own specific plastic bottles with a soda can like top. Everything was wonderful. The donuts were fluffy and the dough was a different kind of sweet I can't describe well enough. It was almost like eating a slightly dense cloud. The rice flower really makes them fluffy. And the flavors are done so well and I'm only mad a bout it because like, ??? HOW??? Even the lychee?? Everything was heaven and these donuts didn't last a minute in my house. The bubble tea was yummy, the tapioca pearls were a bit too chewy/not soft enough for my preference. However the overall drink tasted amazing. Was the price worth it

    Potato rice dog
    Laurie G.

    I was SUPER excited when I learned a mochi donut and Korean style rice dog place opened up in Buffalo. Sadly, the excitement was short-lived. Mochi Shack is different from other Korean rice dog places I have frequented. They have a very limited menu and a crew that seems flustered when there is a rush. Granted, the business just opened up they were already out of a bunch of the menu items. I settled on a standard potato rice dog. The other members of my party each had original, as they only had two varieties to choose from that day. We also ordered a variety of mochi donuts and bubble tea. We waited nearly 45 minutes for our order for the cashier to come over and ask what toppings we wanted. I, being an expert at ordering Korean rice dogs, was excited to hear their varieties "was it going to be sugar, garlic mayo, spicy chili, bbq sauce, honey sesame sauce"? My mouth was salivating, thinking of what the cashier was going to offer, only to be disappointed again. They offer a simple ketchup or chili sauce. We received our rice dogs and mochi donuts. The donuts were a bit oily, but The corn dogs were good, pretty tasty if you are looking for a basic rice dog, but if you are looking for the authentic Korean rice dog experience I would journey elsewhere.

    Came for Korean corn dogs, tried the hot Cheeto, cereal and potato dogs! Half cheese half dogs. Amazing so good so filling and great prices. Clean and casual will be back!

    Matcha & PB donuts
    Cleeii A.

    Stumbled on this shop while we were in the area. I remembered having these donuts in California. Was surprised we finally got a mochi donut/korean corn dog place in town. Quick service and staffs were nice. You can order up front or online by scanning the qr code. Same donuts with large selection of different flavors/toppings. We got matcha and peanut butter donuts (they came out to $3.25 each), takoyaki, matcha & coffee bubble tea. The donuts are incredibly fresh, chewy and not overly sweet. They have limited bubble tea flavors that were made fresh and packaged in a clear plastic soda can. Pearls were chewy & I like the way they made my drink. The Takoyaki? Amazing. Spend over $25 and you'll get a free soda or milk tea. Or over $50 for a free hotdog. They offer other items in the menu like gyoza, kfc (korean fried chicken) with different sauces. They also have a new product: strawberry milk tea & hotdog varieties: blue takis, lemon cheetos, & crunch hotdog. If you're a mochi lover or simply curious to try something new, I recommend paying Mochi shack a visit.

    We were in Buffalo to go to the AKG museum. We were inside for better than 3 hours and were hungry…read more Buffalo....Duff's wings. The GPS took us to the first location that opened (the waitress said the 1960s) a long time ago. The building is sitting at an angle from the road so go to the right and turn in to park or go past and turn right for the parking lot. Middle of the afternoon on a Thursday they weren't too busy. We were seated immediately and waited on quick. I wanted some clarity with the wing heat. Some places hot is mild or hot is burn your face off. She clarified the medium hot is hot so that's what I decided on for an order of 6. My sister isn't so much of a wing person so she decided on a grilled cheese. The waitress was pleasant and answered all the questions we had. The restaurant itself isn't too big but can seat a lot of people. Total wing vibe. Lots of different flavors and quantities went by...everything looked tasty and fresh. They had Yuengling on tap so that's what I ordered. She had a pepsi. Food arrived fast. The aroma was to die for (ok it burns the eyes a little...). Came with celery and blue cheese. The wings were amazing, some of the best I have ever eaten. Crunchy celery and cool dipping sauce. Bigger than most that I have ordered and very freshly prepared. After 6 I was filled up...but I ordered another brew just to wash it all down. If you're in Buffalo (or the area) it's definitely worth stopping to have a treat. Other Buffalo favorites are on the menu as well (Beef on Weck sandwich. We will definitely be back, more flavors to try and locations to enjoy.

    All right, I hope everybody remembers when they read these reviews that it's all a matter of…read moreopinion I know everybody loves Duff's wings, and well, probably the actual restaurant and everything This was my first time going in there, and I did not care for The surroundings at all. Tables were too close, people are way too loud. I can't eat in loud surroundings. I don't like that, and it was so hot in there that it made me very uncomfortable. I believe all restaurants and bars, etc. should be air-conditioned and make people comfortable. If they're too cold, they can always put on a jacket but when you're too hot, I can't take much off. I ordered the roast beef on Weck and fries instead of potato chips. I was very satisfied it was delicious. Very expensive, I found everything was very expensive on the menu, but if you want good food, I guess that's what you gotta do is pay more. Jim ordered mild wings, they still looked good even though I'm a hot wing person. I was looking at everybody else's huge plates of wings that were coming out and they looked so amazing. I'm definitely gonna get some to take home some time. Anyway, the wings looked good smelled good, Jim said they were very good, my sandwich was good. The fries were good, the waitresses were nice so the service was pretty good. But again too small, too loud, too hot, and those things just don't make me happy. I probably would go in there again and eat if somebody else wanted to, but I'd rather take my food to go next time. One other issue I had is definitely the restroom. That had to be the smallest stall I have ever been in. Anytime I moved I banged into one of the walls. They have two stalls in there, which to me is definitely not enough when you're serving "spicy hot " food. At one point there was five people in the restroom. Luckily, I just had to wash my hands in that visit. But the restroom is way too small and when I talk to Jim about the ladies room, he said the men's room is super small too, so they're probably about the same size. So that was definitely a negative thing for me was the restroom.

Our waitress was really friendly and told me the French onion soup is one of their popular items, so that got me excited. It came out fast and it was pretty good. The croutons were honestly my favorite part, super seasoned and actually had flavor. This was only my second time having French onion soup though and I'm still on the fence... it felt like it was missing something, or maybe I just don't get the hype yet lol My friend got the chicken broccoli alfredo and I got the cajun chicken linguine. The portions are HUGE, like you're definitely not leaving hungry. She said hers didn't have much flavor even after adding salt and pepper and was already planning how she was going to fix it at home. My chicken was a little burnt so it was dry and kind of messed with the flavor, but the pasta itself was good. I loved that they added a little bread to soak up the sauce. The huge portions made up for the bland flavors. Not even gonna lie, a few bites in my stomach said "absolutely not" which is no fault of theirs, 100% on me for going all in on dairy, so my friend ended up taking both meals home. Overall I'd recommend it if you like a bar vibe, big portions, and solid food. 8.3/10

I visit the city every year in the fall, and I am still trying all of the wing places that have been recommended. The latest on my list was Doc Sullivan's, a very, VERY local watering hole. This is the kind of place that makes you immediately remember that you are absolutely not from here, but in the best possible way. Doc's is a historic, no-frills neighborhood pub smack in the heart of South Buffalo's Irish Heritage district. The second we walked in as clearly obvious outsiders, the entire room of rough-and-tumble regulars seemed to pause their conversations, turn towards the door, and stare at us. Even the bartender (who also doubled as the host and our waiter) clocked us immediately with a cheerful, "Hey visitors!" It was hilarious and broke the awkwardness we were starting to feel. Everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming once the moment passed, but it was clear we stood out from the regular crowd. If you have an aversion to dive bars, this is not the place for you because Doc's is not fancy. It's well-worn and smells like Fabuloso cleaner mixed with stale cigarette smoke and old beer. I was surprised at how clean the place was, but it does have that dive bar smell and feel. I felt like I'd walked onto a movie set because this place screams Buffalo, and does so loudly and proudly. I'm not a fan of chicken wings, but my hubby is. Food-wise, he ordered a half dozen of the famous Smitty Wings at the suggestion of the bartender, which come coated in the house's unique spiced butter sauce along with a half dozen with hot sauce. He liked the Smitty wings fine, but preferred the classic hot Buffalo wings, which he said had legit heat and were "more than decent." Not his all-time favorite wings, but still tasty and meaty enough to earn his respect. I went with the buffalo chicken sandwich, which was massive. It was a fried chicken breast patty on a super soft, fresh roll with lettuce, tomato, and onions, tossed in a mild Buffalo sauce that had just enough heat for a timid spice girl like me. The quality was good, but not great, and it was basically the same chicken sandwich you can get at dozens of places around town (it was very similar to the same menu item at the Anchor Bar, for example). The fries were nothing special, and they tasted like regular old french fries you'd get at your local deli. They were freshly fried, hot and crispy, and we both appreciated that malt vinegar was already on the table. We had a good experience at Doc Sullivan's, but agreed that we would not go out of our way to eat here again. I wouldn't call it a must-do for foodies, but I'm still really glad we went. While the food wasn't all that memorable, it felt like a true local Buffalo experience that you don't get at polished, tourist-friendly spots. This is the place if you want to soak up local character and are seeking another stop on your buffalo wing eating tour.

The smitty wings just tasted like mild buffalo sauce and the honey cajun was pretty good. My issue was with the "ranch" sauce because it tasted like straight horseradish and every bite left a bitter aftertaste.
