Taste of Asia — Restaurant in Buffalo

Do you want the amazing Asian cuisine in Buffalo? You must try this almost hidden gem, it may be some of the best bang for your buck in all of New York. No joke. It's one of those places you look at from the outside and wonder if it'll be worth it but the reviews don't lie, the food is incredible and the prices are the best of any Asian restaurant you're going to find, possibly in all of NYS.

We took a chance on this restaurant with my wife and our two younger boys hungry for Asian food. Between the Pineapple Fired Rise, incredible sweet potato roll, California roll, salmon roll, veggie springroll, and miso soup which pretty much felt like it had healing capabilities. After our food was half gone but long before we left we were already singing this place's praises and declaring it our favorite Asian restaurant.

Mind you, my wife and I lived in Manhattan on and off and the type of restaurants like Taste of Asia are, hands down, the best you will find in NYC, or the world. Why? Because they're off the beaten path and not where the tourists go, because of that, the meals are incredible and are insanely affordable with the best portions. Places like this aren't trying to impress or wow you, they're trying to feed you with long-standing family restaurants and sushi chefs that give a darn.

We've lived in Snyder, NY (Buffalo suburb) for nearly seven years and have tried every Asian restaurant in greater Buffalo, from the fancy to strip malls, in every direction around the Nickel City, at a minimum 40-50. Taste of Asia, hands down, is far and away the best of all of them, it's not even close. Don't believe me, go see for yourself, your tastebuds, appetite, and wallet will not be...

I tried visiting this place when they first opened up last year or so. We arrived at the restaurant only to realize that they were still closed even though Google says it was open. We checked their website and it showed that they were actually open the following hour so we spent some time walking around only to return to a sign that says they will be open in 3 hours. I was so upset and hungry, I didn't give this place another chance until recently and I am glad I did.

The experience was fantastic. The owner who was tending to us was one of the nicest people ever. He's very soft spoken and welcoming. He did not recognize us and correctly assumed it was our first time here. We received free servings of miso soup and bottled water.

We ordered green curry and panang curry. They were made perfectly. The spice level was not too high, just the right amount of heat. I wouldn't recommend it if you're more of a extreme spice chaser. The curries were also balanced out with some level of sweetness. The portion were big enough for us to ask for to-go boxes. The prices were very fair in my opinion.

The atmosphere was very calm and soothing. Dimly lit and soft background music. We were the only customers in there so there were no much noise. Hopefully it was just timing and not a regular occurence. If you're craving thai food and want to try out a new location, I highly recommend you give this...

Found this hidden jewel, so close to home and I’m glad I got the chance to visit and share with my sweet and beautiful friends. This is a lovely all things Asian , family restaurant with Saw the amazing owner waiting on you hand and foot. He was so inviting, attentive, warm and friendly while we had our lunch. The food was super delicious and fresh. The complimentary items were a delightful miso soup and bottles of water on the house. No where else could you get that kind of compliments today. The prices are more than reasonable and the amount of food portions is excellent. I had the black dragon rolls as I am a lover of sushi , in addition to that I had a shared seaweed salad with sesame dressing- delicious. I’m going to bring my girlfriends here and highly recommend this local restaurant to everyone. It’s such a shame that so many of our family establishments have disappeared and been replaced by chains- to each his own. Let us support our local community and our eateries. Taste of Asia is certainly worth the trip and I will be returning to make it one of my favorites. Thank you Saw- I have seen you and appreciate your...
