Fries
Natasha Y.

Amazing place, I'll be back for sure to try the vegan ramen, the fries were perfect other then being cold, I love the ginger on them, it's hard to find that kind of ginger too. The ramen was delicious too, no wonder y they were packed, it's street parking only so it's hard to find a spot.

Custom port ramen bowl was superb.
Jim G.

This busy restaurant has you fill in a form to specify what you want. You turn it in at the cash register, then take a seat as your customized meal is prepared. The menu has ramen, rice bowls, sides, and desserts. The service is great, and so is the food. The restaurant is on #8 Main and #12 bus routes and is a short walk from the UB South Campus Rapid Transit Station.

Miso Caramel Donuts
Jessica C.

I went with their signature Sato Ramen noodles, iced matcha latte with cinnamon and Miso Caramel donuts. I was not a huge fan of the ramen to be honest, the soft boiled eggs were delicious! The broth was very good as well, but the flavors with the pickled ginger, and bean sprouts gave the ramen an all over strange taste to me. The iced matcha latte was delicious, not overly sweet but had a lot of cinnamon. The star of the show for me were the donuts, for someone who doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, these were a 10/10 for me! So good, over all very nicely done. Service was fast and friendly.

Menu front 9/2023
Kimberley A.

Pork Dumplings 9/10 They give the option for pan fry or deep fry. I love that! I got them deep fried. They were great, super crispy, Coulda came out of the fryer a few seconds earlier. The pork inside had a good flavor and the dipping sauce was also good, but the combo was a bit salty together. Harumaki Spring Rolls 9/10 Gyoza sauce for dipping. Great crunch and fry on these. The filling also had a good flavor. Nice combo dipped in the gyoza sauce too. Tonkotsu Ramen 8/10 Added corn also. Not bad, but not what I was craving flavor wise. Tasted like a deep beef broth, or kinda reminded me of gravy for some reason. Pork was cooked good. Love that it was sliced so thin. The noodles definitely could have been cooked for another couple minutes, they were a little underdone. I also had a giant clump of noodles stuck together in my soup. The egg was cooked well. It was a little bit more runny than usual, but still good. I do wish there was soy sauce available to add a couple dashes. Spicy Miso Ramen 9/10 Really good flavorful broth, Spicy and salty. More like a medium spice that you can continue eating easily, not overbearing.

This place was okay was running some errands decided to stop on in. The star of the show was the fries which were an appetizer no doubt about it, I ended up having the pork ramen and I didn't feel like the broth had as much flavor as some of the ramen I've had other places personally. I also didn't like the fact that there wasn't any condiments to accompany this ramen besides saracha which as blah blah. Would definitely come back for the fries if anything which had all type of ingredients I can't even pronounce.

Sato ramen with fried tofu added
Danielle M.

Maybe our expectations were too high after this restaurant was recommended by some local friends. The service is friendly and the restaurant is beautiful. However, we found our ramen dishes to be attractive, but sadly lacking in flavor. My daughter had the spicy miso ramen and I had the sato ramen. I asked for the gluten free rice noodles but was given (and charged extra for) the shirataki noodles. I added the fried tofu, which was by far the best thing about the dish. My daughter said her ramen noodles were undercooked. The smallish restaurant was full on a Monday night, so it clearly has fans, but I wouldn't rush back.

Build your own tonkotsu ramen
Shauna R.

We absolutely can't get enough of this spot! The tonkotsu broth is the way to go. We recently tried their special fries and were shocked by how good they are with the ginger especially. I made my own ramen this time, which did make it pricier, but it had everything I wanted and flavor was 10/10. The pan fried gyoza were also perfect. We love stopping here for ramen whenever we can!

Tori Paitan Ramen
Shannon S.

This place is so cute! I got the Tori Paitan Ramen and added bean sprouts, and my friend got the classic ramen, and we split the Spring rolls and Gyoza Pork Dumplings Plate. All were delicious! Topped it off with an Iced Matcha Latte which was divine. We sat at the little food bar area, had our food, good conversation, and even opened my laptop up for a couple of emails. Staff was friendly as well. Will return and I can't wait to try more flavors!

Heather A.

Soup was good, large portions! Small seating area so just be aware of that! This is the tonkotsu ramen which was good but a friend ordered the spicy miso ramen and I had a taste of that broth and it was delicious! Highly suggest it!

Lunch special
Mak B.

Solid sushi spot. They had a lunch special that I gave a try and it was good. The seaweed salad was lacking some flavor but the miso soup was great. The fish was fresh but average. My favorite thing I ordered was the scallop roll!! It had a ton of flavor and tasted very fresh. The octopus tacos were recommended by our server but my party were not fans. I would come back solely for the scallop roll.

BYO ramen with tofu and soft boiled eggs
Aly W.

One of the employees was very nice and welcoming, and made sure we had water. Not sure if that was an oversight by the other employee, but I'm pretty sure the other employee charged us for a dessert we didn't get even though he said he didn't. $33 for a couple BYO Ramens we didn't add much to, and a couple sodas seems like a lot. The Raman itself was great. The soft boiled eggs are perfect. My son says he prefers the cheap overly salty heart attack in a bag you can make at home, but there's no accounting for taste. Kind of a mixed bag. I might get it again if I was in the area. Only place you can build your own.

Waitstaff was lovely: Three different people checked on us during our meal…read more The miso soup has changed somewhat: It no longer contains tofu, seaweed, or vegetables. The garden salad, likewise, has only iceberg lettuce and a citrus mayo dressing. I enjoyed my grilled squid: It was a large portion, and the char had a great flavor. The sushi was very tender, and the rice was well seasoned.

I say this as a former sushi chef as well as someone who has been to over two dozen sushi…read morerestaurants in 7 different states. -Sushi rice was bland and slightly dry. Needed more sushi vinegar. If the ingredients are measured out, which they said it was when I pointed it out, then this should never have be an issue. -Garnish, specifically the lettuce on the sushi plate was old, mushy, and unappealing. They should have left it off the plate if that was all they had left. Sushi is about presentation more so than most food and this was not done well. -Miso soup. This was not traditional miso soup. I know there are miso soup with daikon as an add on, but there's usually wakame in it. There was no enoki mushroom either like it says on their menu. The ones I uses to make, and all the sushi restaurants I've been to were the traditional tofu, wakame and diced green onions. Have that as a first option since more widely known, and make the daikon as a second option. Also, miso broth was bland. Needed more bonito flakes. Equipment - you guys need to periodically check your tables and chairs for damage. When I grabbed my chair by the seat to scoot myself closer to the table the seat came off. Need to balance out the portions of ingredients in your rolls. California roll needed more imitation crab. There was too much cucumber and avocado. You guys need to focus more on quality and presentation instead of having a ton of different roll on your menu. When you are pricing your sushi like a mid-high end restaurant, the quality and presentation needs to match. I read the reviews on this place and thought all the kinks would have been worked out by now, but it seems not. We didn't try out the other non-sushi dishes they had on their menu, so we have no opinions on them. I am one of the few who will not be coming here again for sushi.

Hard working people working in this restaurant as we could see as we peaked in the kitchen on our way out the door. Small place with huge menu. Decisions, decisions on just what to order. Hubby chose the shrimp bento box. He enjoyed. I ended up with the Tom Kar soup and california rolls. I loved the soup. And it was the good kind of california rolls...not the fake crab stick...the salad style (see my pic). The decor is quirky and kind of a no frills type place. Nothing fancy or high end by any stretch. Quite a few tables occupied, and lots of takeout orders. Seems the word is out that they have delicious food. I do recommend if you want your sushi fix.

Well, of course my husband and I had to try it and what better place to get our food from than Teton. Because we needed a lot, and definitely had left overs, we went with the love boat for 2 all variety of fish for $69.00, as well as two tuna handrolls. I love their tuna handrolls. They are scrumptious. Teton is great for gluten free people and they modify to make sure everything is good to go. There was so much food. The sushi and the rolls were great and fresh. The ordering process online is extremely easy, even when you are ordering with a dietary restriction. If you want quality fish, go here. Taka, the owner, is great. Do something different, order some takeout and play homemade battleship with your spouse or a friend.

The hostess told us that they would not take a pick up order until 8:30 (um ok....). But since it was 8:12, we decided to WAIT until 8:30 to order rather than finding an alternative to feed our family who already picked out their orders. So, we waited in our car for 20 minutes, and called back ready to place are order. The hostess said that the kitchen is now "not taking orders". I explained the situation and asked if we could just get a few ramen since we just waited at her direction. She must not realize that rent on Elmwood is expensive, or that there are bills to be paid, or that humans ordering food pay the bills, or that an owner would appreciate this $100 ramen order or the many orders we place all year, or large eat in bills because there is no attempt to keep us as a customer. We live in the neighborhood and love to support local restaurants and businesses and our family of 6 places large orders. Last time we were in to eat the service was bad as well. It took about 20 minutes to get our drinks. And the time before that we came on my daughters birthday and they said they weren't seating parties of 6 even though the entire restaurant was open. Hmmm. We literally could see every open table. My daughter in her 10 year old birthday crown telling them how much she loved ramen didn't even make them flinch since they seem to have delicious broth and no souls. We will keep spending our money at local establishments that treat customers like humans.
