    The food and nice vibe in the atmosphere here I really loved. My colleagues and I came here for lunch. I tried the broccoli bowl with chicken and it was very good and seasoned well. I will try the noodles next time I'm in the area. The service was super, very quick and very nice with a great attitude. I can't wait to come back.

    Hand cut noodles with mushroom and beef

    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.

    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!

    Frequent flyer cocktail

    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!

    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 !

    Met up with a friend here for a quick drink and this place is so great. I had been here before but…read morethis time it was nice to actually see the place on a normal night. There was a steady number of people coming in for dinner while I was there. The owner/bartender was super cool and helpful when it came to picking out a quick bite. I ended up trying the chicken pintxo and I had a charcuterie board as well. I'm not as much of a drinker anymore but they had such a great selection of wines here that I would have been able to choose from a wide variety. The chicken pintxo was great. It had a really good flavor. The skewers were shorter which was nice to try to get the food off. The bread was great and they were a really great bite. The charcuterie board had the usual components and I ate it quickly before I could get the photo, but it also had sour patch gummy bears on it which was incredibly cool. I was happy with the cheddar, brie, and assorted meats but the gummy bears made it unique and fun. I will definitely be coming back here to try more of the menu next time.

While the covering does a great job of shielding you from the sun, we discovered that it's not quite sufficient for heavy rain. We ordered a bottle of Montepulciano--a bolder, pleasant wine that paired wonderfully with the stuffed mushrooms and charcuterie board we selected. Although the menu listed the wine as a 2015 vintage, we received a 2019 bottle. The bartender was courteous about the mix-up, and we decided to stick with the 2019. The charcuterie board comes in three sizes, and we opted for the medium one. If you're unsure about the portion sizes, I've included a picture with this review. The charcuterie was an excellent choice, with the olives and cheeses being particular standouts. We also enjoyed the sausage-stuffed mushrooms, which were delicious. Overall, this is a lovely and comfortable place for light snacks and drinks. We look forward to returning in the future.

    Stopped in on a Wednesday night with a friend to share a few small plates and a drink. So glad we…read moredid! The weather was great so we sat outside. The drink menu was full of fun cocktails. We asked the server for their recommendations and ordered based on her suggestion. The drinks arrived quickly and were PERFECT! Definitely recommend Mes Que if you are looking for a good cocktail. For food we decided to split a cheese and charcutier tray and the Spanish tomato bread. The tray came out first and was a great size for the cost! The tray came with 4 different cheeses and 4 meats along with a variety of toppings, oil/vinegar for dipping and bread. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The bread came out shortly after and it was HUGE! The bread was soft with a great crust and a nice level of toppings. It was a great addition to the tray. Overall, we had a great meal, tasty drinks, and prompt service. I highly recommend Mes Que if you are looking for a nice, well priced meal while out on Hertel.

Here, people could converse naturally, and time seemed to slow down. The food was exceptionally well-cooked. Classic Spanish dishes were prepared to perfection, with fresh ingredients, distinct layers of flavor, and rich complexity. Paired with a glass of red wine, it felt less like a dinner and more like a savorable experience. The service was warm and attentive, yet perfectly balanced, without making me feel intrusive, which I always appreciate. If I had to nitpick, a few dishes didn't quite impress me, but overall, the restaurant's atmosphere and the experience made up for it. I'll definitely bring my friends here next time! LOL

    I've lived and worked on Elmwood for about 4 years and driven by Moriaty Meats more times that I…read morecan count . But I thought it was only a deli, with amazing take out burgers, yes I heard about the burgers. It wasnt until my good friend Zoe told me her good friend works there and I would love this place !! Might i say my friends know me well,lol. So NOW I know there is a deli BUT also a cafe!! A very cute cafe, with extremly pleasant staff and amazingly fresh and tasty fare. So yes I heard the about burger but the pork cutlet sounded absolutely delightful. Therefore, the waitress recommended we cut each it in half and my sister and I split them. Sounded great to us !! My sister started with the burger, when she took her first bite I literally watched the juice from burger drip from her mouth....no exaggeration!!! So wild !! My turn !! This burger was so good, not gonna lie i crave this burger!! Its easily my fave burger since Allen Burger Venture closed. Now the pork cutlet itself was bigger than the bun. The lemon caper mayo is light yet tangy I added a lil hot sauce. I forgot I was eating a pork chop. Another great sandwhich fresh, simple and just good. We paired them a lemon spritz and a Americano spirtz. Though I was late to party, you don't have to be!! Check them out!! There is small parking lot too.

    I loved everything about this spot(minus parking lol)…read more This cute cafe connected to their butcher shop is a vibe. We came in, ended up ordering takeout, as all seats were taken, and they do not take orders unless you have a seat. But take out was fine, gave me time to walk around and view the cafe and the butcher shop. It's a small venue but quaint. The staff was amazing! So friendly. We chatted up and they gave me a lot of information on their menu, and the wine dinners that they host. The food..amazing! We got the fired chicken sandwhich, which was absolutely delicious, need I say one of my top favorites! The chicken was crusted, fried and cooked to perfection, and I love pimento cheese, this was a slam dunk for me. We also tried the French dip, again just delicious. They change the menu quarterly. Also tried a side of the Spanish potato salad, again great! I'd compare this to the Spanish version of German potato salad. While I waited for the food I went over to the butcher shop, which was cool to see them actually butchering in one section. I bought some jalapeno and pepper jack sausages as well as some Merguez sausages which are beef and lamb sausages. Can't wait to try them. Then a tub of garlic bleu butter caught my eye and yes I snagged some of that as well!
