Buffalo Eats

This meal wouldn’t have happened without our friends, the Walley’s. While scrolling through twitter, we noticed they had just finished eating dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Williamsville and they mentioned something about soup dumplings. Our love of soup dumplings is well documented; they might be one of our favorite dishes of all time. So, […]

Right around the time we found out about Peking Quick One’s ‘Homestyle Menu’, I heard about China Star and their Szechuan menu through a combination of Buffalo Spree, Andrew Galarneau and Nickel City Smokers (some of the best food pics you’ll find locally). When we visited China Star on a Friday night, it wasn’t exactly […]

Peking Quick One is a hidden gem in every sense of the word. The Tonawanda restaurant is in an unassuming strip plaza located on a side street and looks like every other low key neighbor Chinese restaurant that specializes in Sweet and Sour Chicken. Unless you knew that the restaurant had a separate ‘homestyle’ menu […]

Last month I visited a couple Chinese restaurants, trying narrow down my favorite take out “Chinese” place for lunch.  I didn’t try any mind blowing dishes, and while I had a some tasty dishes here and there, neither place really won me over.  So my search continued, and I eventually ended up at Chinese Cookery […]

In the last 6 months I’ve went out of my way to find the best places for lunch that are within driving distance from my office.  Surprisingly there’s a decent selection of restaurants that are within a 10 minute drive, covering a wide range of cuisines and price points.  I’ve noticed there are a surprising […]

Since I started working in the Northtowns almost 5 months ago, I’ve tried a lot of new restaurants on my lunch breaks.  During that time I’ve had some really good pizza, an awesome burger and a good sample of many other cuisines.  But for some reason or another I’ve managed to avoid the half dozen […]

We actually first tried Tea Leaf Cafe in October of 2010, not to long after they initially opened their doors.  Located next door to Maple Rd’s AMC Movie Theater, Alli and I were immediately impressed with how nice the interior was.  You could tell these owners clearly put some money into making this a really […]

With college back in session, I now have to figure out something to do on Tuesday nights when Alli is at UB in class until 10pm.  So, I’ve decided that my roommate Jay and I will try to find a cheap/weird/delicious place to eat for dinner each week.  Our first Tuesday adventure had us end […]

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 […]
