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!

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.

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!

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.

Food, Alcohol and Arcade Games, is there no better combination than that. This was one of those,…read moreI'll get to eventually places and I got to it. Misuta Chows is known as the best place is Buffalo for Japanese Bar Food, an establishment that captures the meaning of the term "Late Night Bite". This place screams Hang Out, where you can come later in the Evening to get your Grub on. After watching the Buffalo Bandits be triumphant once again, we needed to find somewhere to get some Food. I called about 4 different Restaurants. It was a little after 10:30 at night, I then called Misuta Chows and they told me that the Kitchen was still open for another 25 Minutes. We rushed on over to the Main Street area parked and walked into this Casual Setting. Once we sat at the Bar, we put in our Drink Orders, I got a Cocktail named after one of the most Iconic Cartoon Characters of all time - Spongebob Squarepants. What I thought was gonna be a square shaped glass filled with Orange Juice and Lemon Liqueur or Vodka. It turned out to be a Mason Jar filled with a vibrant pink concoction of Milagro Tequila, Prosecco and Grenadine. Along with both Lemon and Pineapple Juice, the title was a bit misleading. Even after finishing the drink, it wasn't enough for me to do Spongebob's high-pitched Laugh. Emily got the Burning Pumpkin that had Pumpkin Whiskey, Rum Chata and Chai Tea Latte. Mike had the Tailgate Toddy, what looked like Hot Tea was packed with Alpine Spice Whiskey, Alpine Preserve Liqueur, Honey Liqueur and Plum Bitters served in a tall White Mug. After sipping our drinks for a short Bit, we put in our food orders before the Kitchen closed. Also while I was there, I saw that one of my chef buddies, Andrew Berger was in the back cranking out the Food. For our Entrees Emily got the Pork Belly Rice Bowl with Pickled Vegetables and a Soft-Boiled Egg. Mike got the Coconut Chicken Laksa with a Skewer standing up in the Middle of the Bowl. I got a bowl of Lobster & Shrimp Ramen and some Pork Belly Bahn Mi Bao Buns. The Broth was jam packed with so much intense Shellfish flavor, the Egg gave it some Richness and Sweetness from the Corn. The Seafood was cooked perfectly, I slurped down those Noodles with Gusto. On the Buns that were lightly Toasted, the Pork was Crispy jammed inside the Buns with Cilantro and Jalapeno's, it was reminiscent of the Vietnamese Classic Sandwich. I had another Cocktail to go with it, it was a "Monster" of a Drink called Godzilla. Named after the iconic Monster himself. Vibrant green drink made from Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey, Green Tea Simple Syrup, Fresh Lemon and Peach. Its a true shame that this drink didn't give me Atomic Breath that Godzilla does to defeat his Enemies but a few more of those and I would've had an Atomic Hangover. On the 2nd Floor, I loved all the Pinball machines, the Skeeball, the Dance Floor and the Pink Hello Kitty Stairway hidden in the Back. Its a shame that Misuta Chows has closed its Doors, I don't think there will be place like that in Buffalo ever again. I say to Misuta Chows, SAYONARA. !!!

The food here is so fresh and tasty. One late night friend meetup I had here proved this to be true. The food came out hot and fresh. We ordered and shared plates so I got to try many new things I wouldn't have ordered. The drinks here are also good! Now to speak on the atmosphere. It's so NARLYYYY haha. Videos games are so nostalgic and they have all the best ones. This is such a gem to the Buffalo area bc it's close enough for a quick late night dip and has a cool atmosphere that is sure to be a highlight of the night. One of my fav memories is taking a pic with Stefon Diggs during the Imagine Staffing Christmas party.

Our entrees included chicken pad Thai, red curry duck, Massaman curry and tofu pad see ew. The portions were large enough for all off to have leftovers even after we had eaten our fill. I wish I had ordered the Massaman curry for myself, but I guess I'll just have to come back for more!

That includes clearing of items you're done with immediately and no waiting for your bill. I was never rushed; they were just great at their job! Honestly hard to find over the last few years and I was very grateful for that experience alone. The ambience was a very cozy-casual. As I was dining alone this time, I enjoyed the 80s music and videos playing on the TV haha I have to be honest ... I really really wanted to order a roll! But I'm trying to do better about trying other things. So I ordered the Atlantic mussels and the pan seared scallops with veggies with fresh ginger sauce and rice, at a spice level of 3/5. The mussels were very generous and in a large bowl. My biggest pull, aside from the mussels themselves, was that in the description it had a creamy coconut sauce. But I did not taste any coconut and it wasn't creamy. It was broth. It wasn't bad or anything, just not quite what I was expecting. I did appreciate, in general, that there were a couple of mussel options. I hadn't had them in quite some time. The dinner entree was very good. I loved that there was a 1-5 spice scale to choose from. I picked level 3 and was a little worried it wouldn't be spicy enough but it definitely was! It was perfect. The sauce was good and the scallops plump. Veggies were fresh and rice sticky. I had water to drink and it was also very good (felt it deserved a mention lol). I would definitely come back here, but I would definitely order rolls next time! It's what my heart really desires! Side note: great place to indulge in for a whole food diet! I felt very satisfied from my seafood and veggies!!
