Double spicy roll and Cheese Salmon Roll
Vicky B.

Came for all you can eat sushi and had a great experience. The menu was extensive, including several sushi, rolls, appetizers, entrees, and other items to try. Service was great too. As soon as we were seated, we were shown how to order from the tablet, and waiters came to check on us frequently and take our used plates. The robot server was super cute too. Lots of families were here when we came for lunch on Sunday, so it was loud. Food was great too. I'd definitely come back here again.

Beef satay
Greg O.

Came for lunch on a Sunday. It was busy but we were seated right away without a reservation. Did the all you can eat option. Ordering is via a tablet and was easy. Food comes out fairly quickly either by a person or a delivery robot. Staff came by frequently to take plates and make sure everything was going well. Rolls were multiple pieces, usually 8 or 6,the menu indicates, and other sushi was 1 piece but you can order multiple pieces at once. All the sushi was great and fresh. There are also some non sushi options. The pad Thai and beef with broccoli were both also good and were more than a few bites but smaller than a normal stand alone serving which is nice when you're having a taste of multiple things. Also had wonton soup, similarly it was smaller than a stand alone serving. It was very flavorful and had tiny mushrooms in the broth.

Shrimp Tempura and Soft Shell Crab Handroll.

Finally, we visited 'Wind Japanese & Thai'. My 'sushi buddy' and I came here mainly for sashimi and Japanese dishes. Our third person ordered more meat and vegetables. I was also checking the vibe and everything in between. Expectations were rather high. The three of us were looking forward to having some fun with the 'all you can eat' experience. It's a really nice restaurant, I agree. Unfortunately, our table (actually a comfortable booth) was at the front, near the entrance, opposite the bar, next to the cash register station even though I made a reservation. I just didn't have a chance to explore the interior too much. The place was packed and loud on a Tuesday evening. I should just start by saying that our sashimi wasn't the best or even that good. At first, we weren't sure why, but shortly we both realized and agreed that almost all the pieces tasted watery. Plus, some of the white tuna had unappetizing yellowish edges. Not a good sign, right? I regret we didn't address the issue right away. Lesson learned. In general, I wasn't too excited about the food. We tried lots from the menu. It's just my personal opinion, yours could be totally opposite. Please don't hesitate to visit Wind Japanese & Thai if you haven't done it yet. Have your own opinion, especially if you order different dishes then we did. Maybe we were unlucky with the orders. What did we enjoy the most? The Grilled Eggplant, Pumpkin Tempura (?!... I know!), Torched Salmon, Yellowtail & Tobiko Sushi, Black Dragon Roll, Grilled Beef & Chicken Satay, Edamame, Enoki Mushroom Beef & Grilled Beef Short Ribs weren't bad as well. The Thai Coconut Soup had a nice flavor with a comfortable spice level. Spicy Scallop Sushi & Soft Shell Crab Handroll were overpowered with mayo. The Shrimp Tempura had too much tempura. Salmon Rose Sushi was nothing that I remember, very little flavor. Shall I continue? A small piece of Grilled Chilean Seabass contained just skin, fin, bones, and fat. Even the wasabi didn't have much kick to it. The biggest disappointment was the Thai Spicy Basil Beef. It looked and tasted like a Chinese lunch special in soupy sweet brown sauce, and they gave us a full bowl of it. The crew working that evening was very attentive. Our empty plates were quickly cleared away, making our stay pleasant and tidy. Even a glass of water and an unfinished beer disappeared while one of our companions went to the restroom. We didn't even notice when it happened:). As I mentioned earlier, this place has an elegant atmosphere and is perfect for a get-together with friends or a date. I'll be back with my partner. He enjoyed the food, but he isn't as into sushi and raw fish as much as I am.

This is one of my favorite restaurants as a 'destination' location. It's typically an annual birthday dinner. The food is always so delicious. The food is always fantastic, anything I have tried. My kids (tween down to elementary school) always love coming here. Know that the place WILL BE busy during a weekend evening. The robots dropping food to the table is fun, and having the iPad to order things from is very nice. Sometimes the staff could benefit from seeming less annoyed that people are there... but it's a self-contained enough evening that it should not take away from the experience.

Maki Set B
Erin H.

We got take out for girl's night. I got the Maki Set B - 24 pieces of sushi, miso soup, and seaweed salad. Everything was good, but I feel like I have had better sushi in Buffalo. The takeout box was stunning. I would order again just for the experience! Wind has all you can eat sushi, so I would probably try eat here in person next time.

Jesse W.

Wind is a gorgeous restaurant with amazing atmosphere. Ordering was a little confusing since we thought that inputting the meal on the tablet provided was enough, but apparently you need flag down a waiter for them to fully submit the order. Something not explained and we waited 20-25 minutes for nothing. The food is a western flare on a Japanese menu. All of the flavors were very timid as a result, with not much standing out over the course of the meal. That said the menu is quite large, giving a lot of options to choose from. It would be a great place for someone looking for an introduction into sushi, sashimi, and related dishes. I won't be going back but I do encourage others to try it out for a new experience.

Wind Japanese and Thai has two options for dine in; all you can eat for a fixed price or a la carte which is basically whatever you want as priced on the menu. There is a caveat, everything you don't finish you will be charged for and drinks are not included. You must make a decision before getting seated. We went with the all you can eat as suggested by our server since it was our first time. The process was pretty simple, there is a tablet on each table where you add whatever you want to your cart (there were photos with each option too) and once you're ready to submit your order, you flag down a waiter/waitress and the order is sent to the kitchen, and so on and so forth as much as you want. The table we were seated at initially had the brightest light, it was not very comfortable but our waiter was able to switch our table to a dimmer table. Once we were seated, we ordered some drinks and some apps to start. The drinks were good but my strawberry was old (as attached in the photo), it was not fresh so i did not eat it and it ruins the presentation of the drink, especially since it's not included in the all you can eat. The torched beef roll was delicious, we got it multiple times and so was the crab hand roll. Most of the food lacked much flavor like the Tobiko sushi and the yellowtail sashimi. A lot of the rolls i liked included avocado but almost all came without avocado until i had to run it by our server. Some of the food was missing things and a lot of it was not fresh, but i guess that's what you get at an all you can eat. The service was great, however. Shad was absolutely wonderful and considering it was our first time in Buffalo, he also gave us some advice as to where to go. All in all, customer service was wonderful but the food was not. It was alright; at least for the all you can eat option. Maybe it was that night and maybe it was coincidental but that was my personal experience.

The crab pizza . 100% out of this world !
Sharlee R.

This place is amazing. It made me feel like I was apart of a Jetsons episode. The place is absolutely beautiful well decorated, the lighting is perfect not bright . Just perfect. We've been twice so far and it never disappoints. The offer an all you can eat menu . Which allows you to order in small portions. Giving you the opportunity to try so many delicious items. My favorite is the crab pizza!!! Definitely must try!! Even or 5 yr old loves the food . And the Robot of course. They Robot delivers your food ordered right to your table with you table number. The have thai and Japanese inspired dishes , also sushi bar and amazing drinks. It's a must try!! Date night, family night solo night it's good for it all . It's the most amazing thing ever!!!

Steven C.

Absolutely wonderful! If you enjoy Japanese and Thai cuisine, you need to check out this place. We opted for the unlimited menu and food kept coming brought by robots! I intend to bring the entire family next time. The ambience is elegant, the human and robotic staff are very accommodating, and the food is good. We made the mistake of ordering too much so I don't think I'll eat again for a week.

If it's a month with an "R"!!
Susan S.

The ambiance is modern, dark, and sleek. Techno music overhead, loud enough to drown out voices from the neighboring booths. A selling point is the novelty of two serving robots, called, "Bella" after their programming. Grandparents bring their grandkids for lunch here because of this, and the music causes far too much stimulation for the small customers. The Calornia Salad listed crab as an ingredient; it was chiffonaded surimi. My Princess of Fish roll had mango slices so hard, I thought they accidentally added carrots in with the salmon. The Tokyo Roll and the Spicy Crab roll were both excellent. We plan to go back, but not at lunchtime.

Melissa L.

Good food. Wide variety of options. Servers are always available and the atmosphere is spacious, yet intimate. Chris did a great job today & was very helpful!

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!

Since my last visit, it's been continuously a fun and very affordable place. Don't expect exceptional quality, because it's still mostly about quantity. Some of the special rolls look pretty amazing, but we tried to avoid spicy tuna, spicy salmon etc., and crunchy toppings. Those are the components which are generously used and add volume. Also, be prepared to eat too much rice, although we tried not to. My favorite rolls were Coral and King. The Yellowtail Jalapeno was cut very thin, but with Pepper Tuna is a must to order. The Rainbow Roll could have had more fish, then I wouldn't complain about its appearance ;). We didn't have anything from the 'Kitchen Entrees' focusing just on the sushi menu. Besides Salmon Bites, which we both agreed tasted a little bit fishy, everything was fresh and very good. They were out of ice cream, the only dessert that wasn't even on the menu. Our servers, led by Kaley, were great.

Lowering your expectations is also a good approach. The place was packed on Saturday evening, but we still got a table right away. It was located at the back of the room, next to the cash registers. Next time, I would definitely prefer to wait for better seating. Did I overeat? Yes, I did, but no regrets, and I would do it again :). The cucumber and kani salad were very good. We tried all three sushi appetizers. Beef gyozas and shrimp tempura from the kitchen appetizers section were yum. The tempura was pleasantly crunchy, and I almost ordered more. Our favorite things were classic rolls, salmon and yellowtail. The least favorite were the Classic Roll with Spicy Salmon and the Queen Roll with spicy tuna. No offense, but I thought spicy salmon and tuna that evening were pretty bad with absolutely no taste. I compared it to eating sawdust, but actually I've never eaten sawdust, so it was kind of mean from my side. We liked the flavors in general. The Christmas, the Rainbow, the Hollywood and the Dancing Crab (the most handsome) rolls were all very tasty. Perhaps due to the restaurant's high volume, some of our food was prepared very sloppily. I can only imagine how quickly all the chefs had to work to fulfill all the orders. They still should maintain some standard, in my opinion. Well, that's the consequence of visiting during the busiest time of the week, I suppose. Our server, Anna, was really pleasant. She thanked us for ordering extra sashimi for additional cost (still low). She also complimented the way we were ordering. My dining companion knew what to choose from the menu, and we gave her a longer list of dishes so Anna didn't have to check on us as often. It just worked out perfectly for us. Oh! There was this guy helping with the food service. He was probably in training, or maybe just filling in, or maybe just helping out on the weekends. His mood and attitude were pretty bad, but my companion said I should be more relaxed about it ;). Anyway, I'll be back. We had a lot of fun. Someday, I'd like to order from the regular menu for comparison. Maybe the special rolls are bigger and look tidier? The Sushi Queen is a good place to check out for an affordable dining experience.

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!!

I believe I also ordered a simple tuna roll thankfully or I may have starved like my friends. My friends both ordered the seafood tempura thinking this would be the size of a meal or at least include rice. Everything I ordered was about 3-4 bites of food, the sushi was 6 very tiny pieces. The sushi was good and if I ever went back I'd order more. The jelly fish was crunchy and interesting and I ordered it for the experience so I enjoyed it. I love octopus but this was the toughest most horribly overcooked octopus I've ever had. I forced some of it down but had to spit out two pieces of it because they were completely inedible octopus flavored rubber. My friends were extremely disappointed in their "meals" that consisted of a single tempura shrimp, a single tempura squid and a single tempura scallop. They left hangry. The drinks were good and seemingly normal portions. I don't know what the draw of this place is but I'd be willing to try it again to see if I just experienced an off day and a lack of appropriate expectations regarding price vs portions.
