Buffalo Eats

The weather begins to refrigerate, and all I want to eat it soup. When I had to drag my car into Pep Boys one chilly afternoon, I had a few hours to kill with no transportation. I crossed Niagara Falls Boulevard to the plaza that was hiding behind Monroe Muffler on the corner. Here I found [...]

On the corner of Sheridan and North Baily, in the glossy black plaza that houses New Fuji Buffet, Ichiban and 99 Cent City, is a store front with a curse. Tucked, just barely, between the nail salon and Ichiban is a fresh manifestation, Bingo’s Dim Sum House. It used to be My Bubbletea, after it [...]

A new place has opened in the UB commons…sort of? What was once Japanese restaurant Oh Bento! is now Japanese restaurant Dancing Chopsticks. With a new menu posted all over the place along with “Grand Opening” signs everywhere, it was confusing to walk into the restaurant and still see the same heavily remodeled decor, the [...]

Throughout my career as a UB student desperately trying to avoid Campus Dining and Shops food, I have always returned to Korean Express. The prices, although not awesome, are on par with those of lamentable campus food, and they’re even cheaper than the nearby Arirang Korean restaurant on Flint (way cheaper, actually). I have always [...]

We find our restaurants in a variety of ways; when we see a write up online, suggestions from readers on twitter and even other food blogs.  While looking at restaurant reviews on Buffalo restaurants, we ended up finding a review of Fera’s Subs by a food blog based in the South East called Pie’s Plate.  I [...]

*UPDATE: Sadly since we wrote this post, Hucklebuckets has since closed their doors permanently. I’ve heard commercials for Hucklebuckets on the radio for a while now and the premise (having a bucket built in your table!) seemed a little odd and gimmicky.  It goes beyond just a bucket (or two) at your table, basically everything [...]

I could pretend that I didn’t care that Buffalo (and our world famous Chicken Wings) were going to be prominently focused on Travel Channel’s new Food Wars show, but that would be a lie.  Honestly, how much more attention can Buffalo get for their chicken wings? For someone who loves eating in this city, I [...]

In celebration of Buffalo Eats friend and former writer Mike moving to New York City, a group of six of us met up for a big meal at Amherst’s own King & I.  We thought long and hard about what type of food and where to go for our big meal and we settled on [...]

It’s not secret that I have developed an almost irrational love of the Vietnamese dish Pho (pronounced “fa”).  It’s a simple dish, essentially a broth with noodles and a choice of meat, and it’s been featured on this website several times.  The first time I had this dish was when Alli and I visited Saigon [...]

This week is WNY Local Restaurant Week and Donnie and I have already begun to take advantage of the killer deals available.  While there are many many great restaurants on the list, we decided to go for the places that we normally would not be able to afford (at least not on a regular basis).  [...]
