The menu indicated it would be spicy, but I didn't find it overwhelming; perhaps that's just for those with a more sensitive palate. We also tried the fritters of the day and the squash blossom shu mai featured on the specials menu, and everyone absolutely loved them. I was dining with two other people who ordered the pork belly rice bowl and the tomahawk tonkatsu, and I sampled a bite of each. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, especially with the desserts! The brûlée rice pudding and pavlova were truly out of this world. A few items felt a bit pricey, but the quality of the food made it all worthwhile.

The atmosphere is perfectly transformed into an old factory in lofts and companies. A lot of free parking, right from 190, in and out. A great place to take someone from the city to show how much Buffalo has progressed.

The food was amazing, with fresh fish and fantastic cocktails. The waitress was exceptionally attentive. read more The food was amazing, with fresh fish and fantastic cocktails. The waitress was exceptionally attentive.
