    Hand cut noodles with mushroom and beef
    Brittany A.

    My partner & I made it into Buffalo early before a concert. We wanted something we don't get much of in Syracuse. While looking at restaurants near KeyBank Center, we found K:Dara Noodle Bar. We didn't notice signage outside of the door. We walked up, saw there was a paper menu taped to the glass, and opened the door. There were stairs to walk down to get to the host stand (I'm not sure if/where the elevator is). We were the only guests there around 4:30pm before the concert, but within the hour the place was packed and there was a wait. We started with two drinks, Jet Set (Asian pear, jasmine, black tea infused cognac, Swedish punsch) and Spanish monk (gin, green chartreuse, lemon, simple syrup, and egg white). Both tasted so well made and they're certainly not drinks we would think about normally ordering so it's great they showcased these options on their "Features" board. The "Features" paper menu offered "K-bread" as a starter. The server described it well and referred to it as their version of garlic bread. It was soft and sweet with a creamy melty cream cheesy filling. So worth it! I ordered the cucumber salad and the featured hand cut noodles bowl with mushroom and beef. Both simply delicious and the noodles had me wishing I ordered a large instead of a small! My partner had been craving pho and ordered it. I could tell he loved it after seeing his smile post- first-slurp. We wrapped our evening with the spiced crème brûlée. If crème brûlée is on the menu, then, rest assured, we are ordering it. Truly, I think their crème brûlée takes first place in my book. I loved the little kick of spice. It made it different! Give it a try. I only wish I had room to try the piña colada flan.

    We had a perfect dinner this evening at K:Dara Noodles Bar. I ordered the frequent flyer cocktail, which was dry and delicious. We shared the pork dumplings. Also delicious. The best was the crispy egg with beef and duck sausage - a perfect combination of vegetables, noodles and well seasoned meat. It was a crunchy, juicy burst of flavor in my mouth with just the right amount of kick to it. Our waitress, Cassandra, was sweet and very attentive without disrupting our meal. I highly recommend this place!

    Chicken fried rice w/broccoli

    Went for lunch. Busy spot! Food came out timely and it was very tasty. Got a fried rice bowl. They seem to turnover tables quickly there. Staff was friendly and helpful. I walked there so I'm not sure about parking. Street/paid parking (depending on time of day) is probably the only option. Great spot! Highly recommend you check it out. I'll be back!

    Fresh Chicken Rolls
    Adrienne S.

    Overalls had a good experience at K Dara Noodle House for the first time. The Mushroom, Taro & Leek Dumplings were just okay--interesting idea but a little bland. The Chicken Fresh Rolls were much better: fresh, tasty, and well-balanced. The highlight was definitely the Hand-Cut Noodles with Chicken. Great texture, flavorful sauce, and tender chicken--would come back just for this dish. Solid spot for handmade noodles! Also, don't skip the lemonade--so good and super refreshing!

    Fried rice
    Eric D.

    Their noodles are good but their fried rice is life changing. It's SO GOOD! I've been a few times now and I can't not order it. They have yummy fresh spring rolls as well served with a light lemony sort of sauce which is nice. Service and prices are great and the whole place is just neat. Love sitting at the bar and chatting and watch the drinks get made. Great spot can't wait to come back again!

    K Dara is one of the best Asian fusion restaurants I've been to in the world with amazing cocktails. Their dishes are Vietnamese-Chinese inspired that are both authentic and yummy tasting. Asian or not, you won't be disappointed.

    Yesterday was my second time at K'Dara. It is wonderful! A little hard to find (you have to go downstairs when you enter). The menu is somewhat basic, but has everything you could possibly want. They also do a few specials. This time around, I was there with three girlfriends. Cassie was our server and she was AWESOME! She recommended some of her favorite items and was happy to answer all of our questions (there were a lot of questions!) we took her suggestion on the 'complicated Riesling' bottle and tried the eggplant and the garlic bread appetizers. Both were so good. For dinner, I ordered the special noodle bowl, my one friend got mung bean noodle bowl and two got udon bowls. Everything was amazing! Another shout out to Cassie who split our bill up four ways, charging each of us for 1/4th of the apps. I've never seen this done before and appreciate the extra time it took her to do. I for one will be returning and hope my friends will as well.

    Double Pho, split between 2 bowls.
    Alyssa G.

    This is somewhere I could easily pass 100 times and never notice. So unassuming but once you go down the stairs, you are pleasantly surprised by the openness! Staff was very friendly and attentive. The dumplings were great and so was the pho. We shared a double pho and they kindly put it into 2 bowls without us even asking. The sauces, especially the siracha sauce, was great with the perfect amount of spice. Highly recommend stopping in for some authentic noodle dishes.

    handcut noodles
    Courtney W.

    This is my first time here and I absolutely love the old brick and repurposed space! It is beautiful without being too dark. Our server was attentive and very bubbly! Easy to talk to! The food was incredible! The flavors were amazing, the spice was perfect, the portions were harty for the cost. I definitely would come again

    Beer, Sake & Wine

    The only indicator of where K:Dara Noodle Bar is was a sandwich board that had a K in a circle outside the door with a staircase heading downstairs. At first glance, there seems to be plenty of seating, with a great view of the bar at the back of the room. I was part of a party of nine, which appeared to be the largest group of the evening. We had a 6 pm reservation and I'm sorry to say it appeared the staff was ill-prepared for the amount of effort it would take to manage such a large party along with the rest of the room. All in all, it took until after 8 pm for us to enjoy drinks, starters, entrees, and get our checks closed out. I was the second to arrive and waited nearly 45 minutes for my Martini. Apparently, the bartender lost my order... it supposedly had lemon in it (which seems strange in a coffee cocktail), but I couldn't taste it. I saw one server (Cassie), one person clearing place settings, and a person I'm assuming was the Head Waiter, who actually interrupted Cassie (as she was answering questions and taking orders at our table) to hand her food for delivery to another table. My dining companions & I were in utter SHOCK to see that happen... I shared the pork dumplings & mushroom dumplings with a friend. The mushroom dumplings had something spicy in the filling that I found enjoyable but was overwhelming to my friend. I ordered the bean sprout salad but felt I had to ask for more ginger dressing for the amount of sprouts in the bowl. For my entree, I chose a weekly feature of wonton bowl with handcut noodles, spinach, pork meatballs, and enoki mushrooms. The meatballs were soft & flavorful. The dumplings had a delicious contrasting flavor, and there were plenty of enoki mushrooms in the broth. I would have loved to try either the creme brulee or the Car Bomb ice cream, but after taking 2 hours for the rest of the meal, I sadly passed on dessert.

    Piña colada flan

    We were greeted warmly at the host stand. Great start to the evening. We used to LOVE SATO Brewpub, so I was a little apprehensive that this new place wouldn't live up to it. But I kept an open mind. Cassie, our waitress, was so nice. The place was busy, but I saw the staff doing their best and they made it work. Now for the food. When I tell you this food was life changing. I'm going to have dreams about the chicken lo mein and the piña colada flan. My husband got the chicken fried rice which was very good too. I forgot to take a picture of my drink but I got a passion fruit lemonade that was delicious. Next time I hope to try the spiced crème brûlée. We will definitely be back!

    My delicious noodle entree !

They had a very large doorbell that went off anytime someone opened the front door. So with people going in and out for their to-go order , it was extremely irritating and I couldn't wait to leave... BUT! The waiter was so friendly and offered to explain any dish we needed to know more about and gave us a warning anytime we chose something really spicy. Great selection on the menu between curries, noodles, soups and rice dishes. I ended up with the Shrimp Dopiaza which ranks in one of my top favorite 5 dishes I have ever had. The flavor was amazing and SPICY, served with long grain rice, curry and lots of huge shrimp! My husband got the Special Beef khichiri which was delicious, lots of bones in there though so be prepared if you aren't expecting it. We also ordered 2 garlic naan because we were expecting a small idk, 6 in diameter disc? NO. You get 4 huge pieces per naan, practically the size of a full pizza. We should have split one but if you like garlic, this has about 2 cloves per slice. Its delicious! For dessert we ordered Gulan Jamun and Rasgulla. Oh my, it's like spongy donuts in sugar syrup. So good! Will definitely get takeout again! P s. You have you pay $1 for a bottle water if sitting down.

While I was unable to get the dine in experience/take out... here's a quick hot take. Staff.. extremely welcoming and friendly. I was greeted when I walked in and my first impression was the place is very clean. Dated. But very clean. Food. A little disappointed in the Mongolian chicken. The photo shows all kind of peppers and vegetables, my dish was just chicken. Flavor was great though, not as spicy as I have hoped but good. Chicken w/ broccoli, great of amount flavor, spot on dish! Spring rolls... absolutely amazing! Huge flavor! Garlicky naan. Not pictured but again fantastic. I'll be back, for sure.

If you're sensitive to spice, I'd recommend going with no heat at all. The dining area was pretty quiet with only a few people inside, though they seemed to be busy with takeout orders. I tried the lemonade, which was really tasty, but $10 felt a bit pricey. My only complaints are the use of plastic utensils, which made it a bit tricky to eat, and the volume of the TV--it was quite loud and distracting.
