Comment: Got the passion fruit juice and the Viet box. It was very good and came with a lot of food considering how cheap it was. I was so stuffed I didn’t even finish all of it. My mom got the Pad Thai which was also delicious. I was expecting it to be more packed since it was a Friday night but maybe people don’t know about it? I’m definitely gonna visit again though

Comment: So delicious!! First thing I noticed was the beautiful presentation, that the nigiri were wraped with a strip of seaweed. May be a small touch but most places do not do the little things. Another small thing that mattered to me was that they used a higher quality brand of chopsticks than most. Back to the food, the Salmon Hand Roll was something I had never tried before, and I do think I will stick with regular rolls and nigiri but it was good! Seems portable, held up well and very tasty. The Miso Soup was great, came hot, and the tofu was the perfect consistency. The two types of nigiri I got were salmon and crabstick, both of them tasted really delicious. The rice was packed together so it wouldnt fall apart, but not so much it would be tough. Will be ordering again. :)

Comment: The place looks good. And its a lot of space inside. Was empty when we visited the place, but it looks new. Ive tried Pho Bo (beef) and it was good. Not the best pho bo in my life, but it was good. The service was also very nice. Wouldnt have any problem to visit this restaurant again and try something else.

Comment: The food was absolutely delicious and the setting was very relaxing, the only problems that I had was that the sand hanitizer was expired by a few years. Another thing was that the waiter took around 7 minutes to four glasses of water. I would definitely come back and recommend it to someone else.

Comment: Waves is in my normal rotation for lunch spots downtown. Service is always fast, friendly, and accommodating. I especially appreciate how they actually honor substitutions or comments on mobile orders, unlike a lot of places these days. I usually get the Bangkok fried rice or the Pad Thai, which are always solid. The ambiance and decor inside seem nice for dine in. Overall would recommend. 4.5/5 -BJ

Comment: They get five stars because the place is clean the place is nice but I wish I could visit it after covid so I could really see what its like. They get five stars because the food is good I wish they cook the tofu different so I really not feeling a tofu but my family said everything else they had was great. I wish with them being waves they come with different meals for vegans I feel that will step up their game. I encourage you all to visit this place only visited if you have the money to spend remember dont go out buying food and take out real talk if you struggling more than you think youre not. but if you did decide to go out and eat wages of great place to go treat. Have a beautiful day 😊💪💯

Comment: My wife and I were on a little trip and we wanted to try some asian food. This was the closest to where we were staying so we decided to order it. We had an eel hand roll and a tuna hand roll. We also ordered the beef short ribs. The filling in the hand rolls was a little bit lacking but the rice was cooked and made very well which made it enjoyable. The spare ribs themselves were nicely marinated and cooked well. They were flavorful and very tasty to eat. My only complaint is they were a little thin.We decided to order from here a couple days later. My wife wanted the Pad Thai with vegetables and I ordered the Pho with raw beef. The Pad thai was a little sweeter than what Ive had personally in the past but it was a subsantial amount and still very tasty to eat. It was worth the price I felt for it. The Pho came in a quart container that tasted good. The broth wasnt heavy and had a good flavor to it. It came with rice noodles, hoisin sauce, thai basil, lime, bean sprouts, and jalapeno slices. The beef was probably about 4-5 ounces. It was a good amount again for the price and it definitely filled me up. We also tried there vegetable egg rolls. They use the thinner wonton wrappers with a fish sauce. The sauce they had was a little sweet but it went well with the slightly oily rolls.This was definitely a good place to eat and the food is worth the price for the most part. The decor was nice with underwater images and mostly blue colors around the restaurant. Its worth a try if you are in the downtown Buffalo area.

Comment: I came here for lunch and they have some good specials. It was pretty empty when I got there but they had only been open like an hour (it was also cold out). I ordered two California rolls, and a Thai bento box (came with a soup as well). It was good and not expensive for the amount of food received. I think it was less than 20 bucks? I cant remember the exact total. The service was also good, the waitress I had was really polite and attentive. I would definitely recommend for lunch, if this place was closer to home this would be my sushi spot.

Comment: THE FOOD IS PHENOMENAL!Just returned from a trip to Waves and like others, was severely disappointed when we were told that they dont do the buffet option. We decided to order lunch regardless because we really hadnt thought of a second option, and Im VERY glad we stayed.To be frank, the food was impressive as well as the service! Every single thing we ordered, from tempura to pho was cooked to perfection and the sushi rolls we ordered tasted so clean and fresh- they were perfect! I honestly couldnt have asked for better tasting food..While there were a few items that I felt were a bit too expensive, like the whopping $74 surf and turf, the quality of the more affordable food (which is most of their menu) makes me wonder just how tasty a $74 surf and turf could be. I will be back for sure, thanks Waves!PS. I am also hoping they figure out something with the buffet option they no longer have. Perhaps do something like where you can pick a bunch of options for a price per person or bring back the buffet as a monthly special or something. Variety is the spice in life!

Comment: We love AYCE Asian restaurants and this was on the top of our list during vacation. Lots of tasty, fresh food and no long wait for the food. The location is downtown, which was worrisome as far as parking goes, but we went on a week night and it was easy enough.

Comment: I was initially disappointed since we were expecting the all you can eat menu they used to have. But, everything we ordered was quite good including the fiery udon noodles with veggies (though I wanted it with steamed tofu and the waitress said no so I only had the veggies), the white tuna sushi pizza, and a surprisingly large seaweed salad that was unusual in that it had lots of iceburg lettuce and some dried cranberries in additional to a generous serving of seaweed. I hope it survives because of the reasonable pricing, fresh, well prepared dishes, spacious, somewhat artful decor, and good service.

Comment: This was a new experience. A different set up ! They have $21 per person AYCE ( All You Can Eat) with several items to choose from the menu tablet. Some dishes have additional charges. We reached there around 8:45 pm,they close kitchen at 9:20pm this was sufficient time to order. Surprisingly the service was super fast . We pretty much ordered most of the dishes in the beginning so tasted many and ordered the once we liked again. Miso soup was great. I loved the steamed veg dumpling over the fried ones. The shushi were great. Small portions but you can order multiple times. In the desserts the Cassava cake was good but the mango mouse was very average.They do charge for food wastage if you go withe the AYCE plan - so order accordingly.

Instead of the traditional Lumberjack outfit, all the gals were wearing tennis shoes, shorts (cut off jeans) and a variety of skimpy tops (halter, sport and bikini/bra).

Comment: This is a really great concept, however its all in the timing. The food was really good. We ordered some Asian dishes as well as sushi rolls. The potions are small, which is perfect so you can try everything. Unfortunately we were seated just after a very large table and the kitchen was held up by their orders so it took nearly an hour before we received anything. Most of the staff was very friendly and they did check on us. There was only one bartender and she seemed to disappear a lot so we had to request drinks multiple times. Once our food started coming it was pretty consistent although they ran out of avocado!?! We had to request something a second time before anyone even bothered to tell us. Aside from that we enjoyed the experience. Maybe Sunday evening is not the best night to go because it was quite busy, but they seemed overwhelmed.

Comment: WONDERFUL! One of the best restaurants I have ever been to!!! For just $21 per person you receive all-you-can-eat a-la carte modern americanized Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese dishes. By modern I mean not standard medium class oriental-American food, no, here everything will be premium class small chef-style potions, like tasting menu, but all you you can eat! You order using fun electronic device which is also cool and exciting. Thanks a lot, guys, you are the best in Buffalo and one the best in the world (ive been everywhere, so I know). Long live “the Waves”!!! LOVE YOU

The tablet setup to order AYCE was very inventive and made ordering faster and easier as it provided photos of what you were ordering as well as a description.Sushi pizza was interesting and new. The sushi taco fell a little short though. For the price though definitely worth it.

Comment: We had a really fun time here! We chose the buffet option, where the table orders food from a tablet and it continues to come out over an hour and a half. There were so many food options to choose from! I personally loved the quail and calamari. The waiters were very friendly and food was served promptly.Will absolutely be here again soon.

Comment: Great food and service. We were glad to walk in and be seated without a reservation on a busy night. The wait staff hustles, but I cant imagine how the amazing kitchen staff is back there to have food ready so quickly!

Comment: This place is fascinating. It is a very fresh take on the buffet. I believe it is a move in the right direction.You get to try new and different foods at a reasonable price (so long as you go on one of their $25 nights). The food is ordered on iPads and is brought out quickly and efficiently.My only criticism is this Pad Thai was not mind blowing, but was still quite tasty. Otherwise, if you want to try a variety of new foods will low risk and high reward, this is the place for you.

Comment: If you are looking for a fun place to dine tonight, this is the place.As you walk in you are greeted by happy smiling people, (i do recommend a reservation on weekends). They will bring you to your table and hand a couple of ipads for you to order. Which at first seems weird but once you get used to it, it makes sense, because you can order food whenever you feel like it and it just shows up at the table.. FUN>Its clean, the staff are happy and friendly, and the food is delicious.I highly recommend

Comment: This place has been open for 7 months, this was my first time there and will definitely not be the last. The ordering system using a tablet, is very cool. The food is served fresh and super fast. I definitely think the AYCE is worth the price ten times. Beautiful atmosphere and a large variety of great food.

Comment: The decorations and restaurant itself is beautiful! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The all you can eat option is fantastic! Its not just the sushi, it includes basically the entire menu. And the price is very fair considering the options you get for the AYCE!! The food comes in a very timely manner. I loved every piece of sushi I tried (which is almost all of them) and the fatty pork was out of this world!!!

Comment: An all-you-can-eat pan-Asian establishment in downtown Buffalo... you order by clicking pictures on tablets (press the (i) for more info & larger pictures). Seafood & sushi was good, but the standouts were the selections from the kitchen, including grilled meats on skewers (chicken satay, grilled pork), and their shaking beef dish. Desserts were great, especially the black rice pudding & cassava cake. Great drinks too.. enjoyed iced coffee and the selection of international beers, sake & other liquor.

Comment: Waves is definitely a must-go in Buffalo, the all you can eat menu has options ranging from sushi, Thai, Chinese, seafood and even desserts. Orders come really fast and are done through a tablet, which makes the whole process even faster. Sushi is fresh and delicious.

Comment: Love the concept of this restaurant. AYCE small plates that come throughout your meal when you order them. All of the food was delicious.A few of our orders never made it to us. I suggest only ordering a few plates at a time so as not to overwhelm the kitchen.

Comment: All you can eat sushi done right. I usually am the person at the table that orders two rolls while my friends all order all you can eat and then watch them all pay twice as much for the same two rolls. This is not the case here! The all you can eat here was pretty excellent. There are many options outside of sushi on the menu and the portions are small so you can actually eat a bunch of different things or a ton of one ... Your call!

Comment: My oh my what a time I had at Waves.... you order all you can eat off of the tablet and the food comes so fast in tiny little portion sizes that are very delicious and you just scarf it all up and keep ordering more. The service was great, all the food was delicious and honestly the price is not bad at all for the different variety you get. Loved it!!!!

Comment: Visited Waves last night with a group of 6 friends. The food was delicious and came out quickly and was piping hot each time and tasted so fresh. Between the 7 of us at the table, we probably tasted at least 2/3 of the menu and all of us are already talking about going back again in the near future. The portion sizes are perfect and allow for you to try several different items before filling up. I will certainly be back!

Comment: 1st time here today. All you can eat Japanese, Sushi,Thai, Vietnamese.cuisine.I was impressed the menu is extensive and the servings are small. All the better for me to try more of the many portions of food. The food for the most part is not spicy but I found most was light and flavorful. There was a bar with a large selection of alcohol beverages. Nice assortment of sweets my favorite was the passion fruit jello!?!. If you are seeing this review on 9/27/18 here is a picture of the Grand Opening.

Comment: The food here was absolutely amazing. I love the concept of fresh made to order Buffett. Only open 2 weeks, so like everything there are some humps to get over. I love the small plate no waste idea. There were 5 of us and we almost were able to taste everything on the menu! Was there for lunch during work so was unable try the drinks, but I will be back. They keep cooking they way they are, definitely should be a hit!

Comment: Big taste filled in bite sizes, would be the best way to describe this delicious destination in downtown Buffalo. The service was spectacular. We tried the all you can eat menu, which allowed us to taste everything from the menu. Was a delightful trip around Thailand, Japan and Vietnam all while sitting in this cozy restaurant in the Queen city. Will give this yummy gem 4.5 yums. A great place for drinks and delish eats.

Comment: Great looking place! We really enjoyed the on-demand ordering system; however, we had to ask our waiter many questions, as the electronic menu did not provide written descriptions of each item; especially important for guests with dietary restrictions. Although there were no vegan main dishes, I was able to find many individual selections to enjoy. Above all, we will certainly be back to enjoy again!
