    One side of the venue, showing the duck dish I bought
    Larry K.

    I like duck, especially at Chinese/Asian restaurants. But very few of them around WNY have it nowadays. A small number used to have my favorite, Wor Shu Op (fried boneless duck), but almost all of those have gone out of business or stopped making it. So I'll settle for roast duck. Sun Garden in Getzville has one that's pretty good. And then, because I subscribe to Andrew Galarneau's newsletter (only a dollar a week and well worth it), I learned of Mr. Bowl in North Tonawanda. Andrew wrote about it on Sunday and it looked so good that I went this Friday, just five days later. Beware, the duck dish is not shown on their website. When I called to make sure they have it they said they don't always have it so that's why they don't list it but they did that night. But yet it appears on the written menu at the restaurant and on the printed takeout menu too. So I guess they could run out but generally have it. I went on a day my wife was out of town so all I got was that one dish of roasted duck which comes with a couple of pieces of cooked broccoli and a bowl of steamed white rice. It was delicious. Beautiful crispy skin and moist, tender meat. I took a little less than half home. The restaurant itself is very nice and service was very attentive and good. The only minor glitch was when I asked for more hoisin sauce to go with my leftovers they brought me a small condiment container but it was filled maybe only 1/10 high. However, when I asked for more they gladly gave me a full little container so that I can enjoy the leftovers. I also saw dishes going to other tables that all looked very good. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. There's parking on both sides of the restaurant and on the street. Another thing to know about the online menu is that the prices there are higher than on the actual menu because it's a DoorDash menu.

    After months of watching the reconstruction of this place, I've enlisted two besties to find out if they're better than the Fast Teddies they replaced. And while in terms of speed, they are not, the food is exceedingly so. We arrived Saturday around 5 to find it moderately filled, with our choice of seating. I went for the booths, as they are what feels like double the size of your average restaurant seating (my bustier friend actually spoke up about how for once she didn't feel smushed) and jokingly picked one labeled 13. We were given printed menus that looked oddly worn for being a new place, with much selection to choose from. The waiter gave us 20 minutes to select options, the hum of the AC apparent by the lack of music. It took another long while to get our food, which we chalked up to being made to order and the newness of it all. We flipped the 13 in our table marker upside down to see if it conjured better luck and received a smoothie and four plates of food, not at the same time. The smoothie was made with real berries served in a 'sexy' glass with a wide straw. It came shortly before the calamari, which had a crispy coating and chew, like a seafood tot, served with sweet chili sauce. We all enjoyed it as we waited for the mains. My tuna poke came first, raw and with a kick. I was grateful for my water refill as I let the soft tuna and fresh creamy avocado fill my mouth. The sushi rice clumped wonderfully under the sprinkled crunch of seeds. Chicken yakisoba arrived next, despite my pal ordering shrimp scallop. She agreed to eat it if the bill was adjusted to the correct price, and found it flavorful without being spicy, fantastically tender and not skimped on. The bountiful pork Chinese fried rice arrived last, with a pleasurable mix. All plates were cleared, though to go boxes are offered if necessary. We did have a long wait for the bill only to open an empty book. They remedied it at the register while we swapped money and used the loo. (No lock on that door surprisingly.) The food is amazing. The service not so much, but they've got hopefully plenty of time to grow, as the food itself has us bowled over.

    Nice new clean place with varied menu. Had Chasu Ramen which was very good. Food came out slow but to be expected with new place. Good value for $ but give edge to Sato Ramen

    Waitstaff was lovely: Three different people checked on us during our meal…read more The miso soup has changed somewhat: It no longer contains tofu, seaweed, or vegetables. The garden salad, likewise, has only iceberg lettuce and a citrus mayo dressing. I enjoyed my grilled squid: It was a large portion, and the char had a great flavor. The sushi was very tender, and the rice was well seasoned.

    I say this as a former sushi chef as well as someone who has been to over two dozen sushi…read morerestaurants in 7 different states. -Sushi rice was bland and slightly dry. Needed more sushi vinegar. If the ingredients are measured out, which they said it was when I pointed it out, then this should never have be an issue. -Garnish, specifically the lettuce on the sushi plate was old, mushy, and unappealing. They should have left it off the plate if that was all they had left. Sushi is about presentation more so than most food and this was not done well. -Miso soup. This was not traditional miso soup. I know there are miso soup with daikon as an add on, but there's usually wakame in it. There was no enoki mushroom either like it says on their menu. The ones I uses to make, and all the sushi restaurants I've been to were the traditional tofu, wakame and diced green onions. Have that as a first option since more widely known, and make the daikon as a second option. Also, miso broth was bland. Needed more bonito flakes. Equipment - you guys need to periodically check your tables and chairs for damage. When I grabbed my chair by the seat to scoot myself closer to the table the seat came off. Need to balance out the portions of ingredients in your rolls. California roll needed more imitation crab. There was too much cucumber and avocado. You guys need to focus more on quality and presentation instead of having a ton of different roll on your menu. When you are pricing your sushi like a mid-high end restaurant, the quality and presentation needs to match. I read the reviews on this place and thought all the kinks would have been worked out by now, but it seems not. We didn't try out the other non-sushi dishes they had on their menu, so we have no opinions on them. I am one of the few who will not be coming here again for sushi.

    This is our family's gold standard by which all other sushi restaurants are judged!…read more It has been in operation for at least 30 years, and so popular that it doesn't take reservations: First come, first served; give your cell phone number to the hostess and cross the street to the bar while you wait for your table. Although it seats about forty between the tables, sushi bar, and regular bar, the lines are modern and bright: It doesn't take too many people to make very noisy inside. The food is fantastic, with many selections not found elsewhere: Surf clam, gitana (black cod), uni, and something identified as, "foie gras of the sea". Amaebi/sweet shrimp, available seasonally, as it is February 2025. Street parking only.

    We decided to have a dinner at Kuni after hearing good things from friends one night when we were…read moreover on Lexington for work reasons. I ordered what I thought could have been an obscene amount of food only to receive extremely tiny portions. I ordered tako-su and a special of the same sort made of jelly fish which I had never had and was exited to try. I believe I also ordered a simple tuna roll thankfully or I may have starved like my friends. My friends both ordered the seafood tempura thinking this would be the size of a meal or at least include rice. Everything I ordered was about 3-4 bites of food, the sushi was 6 very tiny pieces. The sushi was good and if I ever went back I'd order more. The jelly fish was crunchy and interesting and I ordered it for the experience so I enjoyed it. I love octopus but this was the toughest most horribly overcooked octopus I've ever had. I forced some of it down but had to spit out two pieces of it because they were completely inedible octopus flavored rubber. My friends were extremely disappointed in their "meals" that consisted of a single tempura shrimp, a single tempura squid and a single tempura scallop. They left hangry. The drinks were good and seemingly normal portions. I don't know what the draw of this place is but I'd be willing to try it again to see if I just experienced an off day and a lack of appropriate expectations regarding price vs portions.

    L the food was delicious, it was very well done, and the rolls were very unique but appetizing…read more You get a lot for what you're paying for, I can't recommend this place enough

    I wanted to go someplace different for dinner tonight. So I found this on yelp…read more My son and I went in and it looked pretty nice. It was a cozy atmosphere and I like the decorations. I ordered the spicy Ramen with pork the General Tzo's Chicken and fried chicken Diosa. I also ordered a Diet Coke The Diet Coke was $3.50 and all it was a can pop. That showed me the price were going to be ridiculous right away. Came the fried Gyoza, which was not fried. It was clearly steamed or boiled. It wasn't bad, but it would've been a lot better if it was fried like I ordered it. Next came the Spicy miso Ramen . I ordered it medium spice, but it was very hot. It was hard to eat. Therefore I did not eat it. I only had a few bites and that's all I could tolerate. The pork was all fat . That was pretty bad to have all fat and no meat. All I could taste in the broth was what I could only describe as dirty ,fishy ,ocean water. Which obviously to me was disgusting. My general Tzo's chicken, I ordered medium spice and it had no spice whatsoever to it. It was very bland and tasted sweet. I did not like it.. Well, I left there starving and I spent over $40 on food that I couldn't eat. The prices are incorrect on yelp, all the prices went up, except for the pop ,that came down. The only positive or semi-positive thing I have to say is the waitress was really nice, and when you asked for something she went and got it right away. The only problem was it was hard to understand what she was saying or what she was trying to say. By the way, if you're from Yelp and you go in here, you will get either a free spring roll or a free, sticky mango, whatever that is. But when I showed the waitress my coupon from yelp, she said, my boss doesn't associate with yelp, although there is a Yelpie award right there on the counter. Another place, I will not be returning to unfortunately
