Vegetarian options: Ask the head chef or someone who knows the menu before you order.Kid-friendliness: It's a bar/restaurant but people have kids in there all the time, hopefully they got fed.Wheelchair accessibility: The kitchen and main bar are all on the first floors you have to make it through 2 doors, so if you're in a wheelchair hopefully someone opens the doors for you out of politeness because there are no 'automatic' doors.

We just had an amazing experience here and our waitress (Sage) was AMAZING!! There was a little mix up with our reservation which was quickly corrected (it was BUSY) but we loved everything, the atmosphere (we had a couple teenagers & an 8yo with us which was why we wanted to sit in the arcade area), the food, the vibe Every person (staff and customers) had a smile on their face The shio ramen was delicious and the dessert that's shaped like a fish ?Kid-friendliness: If you have kids that like noise and video games it is definitely kid friendly, we saw kids there from 6 months old to teenagers and everything in between, upstairs in the arcade area specifically.

Super cool place! Awesome service with very knowledgeable waitstaff. Stephanie was able to answer all our questions and make recommendations that were great. Ramen wings with sweet chili sauce with a side of the most amazing Sesame noodles…taste was a deep consistency of flavor through to the very end. Atmosphere was lovely and upbeat with great music that was not too loud but added a unique atmospheric seasoning to our meal.Will definitely come back again. ❤️

Went here for karaoke night with friends. We ordered fried rice and the yakatori chicken (which comes with rice) at the bar. We got no utensils at our table. When food was delivered to us, it ended up being yakatori chicken with the jasmine rice subbed out with the fried rice. We let the server know about the mix up. We'd asked for two separate dishes. We also asked for chopsticks and napkins. He took our receipt and never came back. We ended up squeezing our way back to the bar and taking chopsticks from other people who had extra. Fried rice was spicy, which we didnt expect. Chicken was yummy, and the dish was well cooked but we never got our second dish. Place was super crowded and too loud. When we first entered, a family was leaving complaining about the noise level. Totally agree. But looks like a fun place, and kids can come in. Just wont be coming back on karaoke night since the layout upstairs is too crowded to move around and waitstaff is helpful, but even they cant always hear whats happening.

It was jist not what I expected, it has a very Open Bar feel, small sit down tables and an arcade with a lot of throw back Gaming Quarter paid Systems. The staff was fantastic, super quick and great with any and all questions both ours and other guests nearby.Vegetarian options: All options are always labeled clearlyDietary restrictions: Any resting just simply let your server know as soon as you sit down

Misuta Chow’s is a unique, super cool and fun Japanese street food and cocktail bar downtown. The food and cocktails are delicious and there is an arcade upstairs as well as a glittery pink staircase which is famous for photos. Since this space does so many things there is somewhat limited seating for dining. If you want to try the food I’d recommend getting a reservation or you can also try your luck for bar seating, which is first come first served.We were in the area and had not planned dinner so we decided to pop in and got lucky with some bar seats. We ordered Sesame noodles, Shio ramen and Yakitori skewers donburi bowl. The sesame noodles was a cold noodle dish, highly recommended by a friend. The flavor was light and delicious with a healthy helping of sesame oil. The ramen was wonderful. They prob have my favorite ramen in the area. Light and flavorful broth, perfectly cooked pork belly, noodles with the perfect amount of chew and some crunchy baby corn, bok choy and scallion for freshness. Finally the yakitori skewer bowl which combined chicken thighs in a bowl of rice, and pickled veggies. The chicken had a wonderful glaze, was juicy and perfectly cooked. And the pickled veggies were a perfect way to balance out the meal.Service was great but I will point out that this place gets packed. We did not feel ignored by the staff but sometimes it took a little while to get their attention which is completely understandable. We enjoyed people watching while we waited for our check. We have been here before and have enjoyed everything else we sampled on their unique menu. They also offer some neat cocktails which are pretty reasonably priced. This place is neat and we are lucky to have it here. Stop in and experience something new!
So good! Still wondering if this is on the menu though?

Really cool place! Thoroughly enjoyed celebrating my birthday here. Food was delicious, atmosphere was chill and very welcoming and our server was great. The arcade/karaoke upstairs (Hello Kitty stairs!) was a blast. Hope to be back soon!

Came here for my birthday! The atmosphere is amazing and it's great for a date and a get together. Cocktail and sake was good. I wish they served unfiltered sake. Dumplings and karaage chicken are a must try. I would recommend ramen also. Towards pricey end.

I don't see how this place could get anything less that 5 star reviews. The bartender was super cool and was making us drinks and engaging with us all night. The Atmosphere is 12/10. I would definitely come straight back to this place if I was passing through again.

Great food, wonderful, welcoming staff, and fun unique atmosphere. We had a great time. If you're looking for something different in Buffalo, you can't do better than Misuta Chows.
