    Fries
    Natasha Y.

    Amazing place, I'll be back for sure to try the vegan ramen, the fries were perfect other then being cold, I love the ginger on them, it's hard to find that kind of ginger too. The ramen was delicious too, no wonder y they were packed, it's street parking only so it's hard to find a spot.

    Custom port ramen bowl was superb.

    This busy restaurant has you fill in a form to specify what you want. You turn it in at the cash register, then take a seat as your customized meal is prepared. The menu has ramen, rice bowls, sides, and desserts. The service is great, and so is the food. The restaurant is on #8 Main and #12 bus routes and is a short walk from the UB South Campus Rapid Transit Station.

    Miso Caramel Donuts
    Jessica C.

    I went with their signature Sato Ramen noodles, iced matcha latte with cinnamon and Miso Caramel donuts. I was not a huge fan of the ramen to be honest, the soft boiled eggs were delicious! The broth was very good as well, but the flavors with the pickled ginger, and bean sprouts gave the ramen an all over strange taste to me. The iced matcha latte was delicious, not overly sweet but had a lot of cinnamon. The star of the show for me were the donuts, for someone who doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, these were a 10/10 for me! So good, over all very nicely done. Service was fast and friendly.

    Pork Dumplings 9/10 They give the option for pan fry or deep fry. I love that! I got them deep fried. They were great, super crispy, Coulda came out of the fryer a few seconds earlier. The pork inside had a good flavor and the dipping sauce was also good, but the combo was a bit salty together. Harumaki Spring Rolls 9/10 Gyoza sauce for dipping. Great crunch and fry on these. The filling also had a good flavor. Nice combo dipped in the gyoza sauce too. Tonkotsu Ramen 8/10 Added corn also. Not bad, but not what I was craving flavor wise. Tasted like a deep beef broth, or kinda reminded me of gravy for some reason. Pork was cooked good. Love that it was sliced so thin. The noodles definitely could have been cooked for another couple minutes, they were a little underdone. I also had a giant clump of noodles stuck together in my soup. The egg was cooked well. It was a little bit more runny than usual, but still good. I do wish there was soy sauce available to add a couple dashes. Spicy Miso Ramen 9/10 Really good flavorful broth, Spicy and salty. More like a medium spice that you can continue eating easily, not overbearing.

    This place was okay was running some errands decided to stop on in. The star of the show was the fries which were an appetizer no doubt about it, I ended up having the pork ramen and I didn't feel like the broth had as much flavor as some of the ramen I've had other places personally. I also didn't like the fact that there wasn't any condiments to accompany this ramen besides saracha which as blah blah. Would definitely come back for the fries if anything which had all type of ingredients I can't even pronounce.

    Sato ramen with fried tofu added

    Maybe our expectations were too high after this restaurant was recommended by some local friends. The service is friendly and the restaurant is beautiful. However, we found our ramen dishes to be attractive, but sadly lacking in flavor. My daughter had the spicy miso ramen and I had the sato ramen. I asked for the gluten free rice noodles but was given (and charged extra for) the shirataki noodles. I added the fried tofu, which was by far the best thing about the dish. My daughter said her ramen noodles were undercooked. The smallish restaurant was full on a Monday night, so it clearly has fans, but I wouldn't rush back.

    Build your own tonkotsu ramen
    Shauna R.

    We absolutely can't get enough of this spot! The tonkotsu broth is the way to go. We recently tried their special fries and were shocked by how good they are with the ginger especially. I made my own ramen this time, which did make it pricier, but it had everything I wanted and flavor was 10/10. The pan fried gyoza were also perfect. We love stopping here for ramen whenever we can!

    Tori Paitan Ramen
    Shannon S.

    This place is so cute! I got the Tori Paitan Ramen and added bean sprouts, and my friend got the classic ramen, and we split the Spring rolls and Gyoza Pork Dumplings Plate. All were delicious! Topped it off with an Iced Matcha Latte which was divine. We sat at the little food bar area, had our food, good conversation, and even opened my laptop up for a couple of emails. Staff was friendly as well. Will return and I can't wait to try more flavors!

    Heather A.

    Soup was good, large portions! Small seating area so just be aware of that! This is the tonkotsu ramen which was good but a friend ordered the spicy miso ramen and I had a taste of that broth and it was delicious! Highly suggest it!

    Lunch special
    Mak B.

    Solid sushi spot. They had a lunch special that I gave a try and it was good. The seaweed salad was lacking some flavor but the miso soup was great. The fish was fresh but average. My favorite thing I ordered was the scallop roll!! It had a ton of flavor and tasted very fresh. The octopus tacos were recommended by our server but my party were not fans. I would come back solely for the scallop roll.

The pana cotta and tarte was fantastic. The meh: some of the servers could be dressed more professionally for a "fine dining" restaurant. Everything was over salted. Significantly. There were several dishes we couldn't even finish. Our ribeye was well done (tragic) when we ordered med rare. The server spilled things several times on the table which he was very apologetic for but still.... Nothing was a wow which doesn't match the prices here, not to mention that you get solicited for cash from the people outside the door on the way out which makes it even less worth the drive. Kind of a miss.

The bread and butter they served was delicious and we appreciated being able to try different breads. The shrimp and grits were delicious and they use really big sumptuous shrimp. I actually got pretty filled up and couldn't finish my seafood stew so ended up bringing half of it home. So portion sizes here are definitely big and everything tasted fresh!

I ended up playing several funny rounds of ad-libs with strangers which totally made the evening. I felt welcomed and comfortable, like I immediately was one of the regulars even my first time there. The beer is great and they have a ton of options including stuff on tap and in cans. Look for the tv on the wall for the list of current beers on tap; it's on the far left side of the bar just above the large front windows. My curly fries and chicken strips were perfection - think of the best possible version of those things and that's what I got here. This came with sides of BBQ sauce, blue cheese dip, and ketchup. I greatly enjoyed my pumpkin ale and would happily drink this again. I appreciate that there are so many vegan options on the menu (not my thing but it's nice to have a place to bring vegan friends!). A surprising very cool thing was the restroom. There is great art all over the walls! Check it out even if you don't need to, you won't regret it. I sat at the bar; there is another room with tables and a pool table and I think I spotted some hidden booths in the back. There are also a few outdoor tables out front. Lighting is pretty dim so if you're going to read a book, choose your seat strategically. General volume is on the louder side. Parking is on the street. I saw that they do trivia on Monday nights; there are a ton of flyers for upcoming events in the front window. Overall this was a very easy place to give five stars to.

The vegan blue cheese was good surprisingly cuz I don't care for the real thing at all. The fries were fine but the Mac n cheese had absolutely no flavor, my kids said to me that mine was better and they aren't that picky with food elsewhere unless it doesn't taste like anything. For that I'll still be back to try other things cuz I appreciate the effort in making vegan food for us vegans out there.

Anyway, I ordered a couple apps and the two meat plate with Chicken & Brisket, Beans, Slaw & the Mac Salad. Y'all, the brisket was moist tender and nicely marbled. I ate half of it before even opening the sauces! Same to be said for the Chicken, it was tender, with the perfect little hint of smoke, legit delicious! I highly recommend this spot when visiting the area... I will definitely be back my next time through.
