19 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Tonawanda

“My boyfriend just came home with some food for us. We've never ate from here before, and I'm particularly picky. I judge based off of the crag rangoons first followed by the rest. The presentation for the crab rangoons alone told me that they take pride in their product, I was not disappointed. Then I sipped on my taro milk tea, again I'm kind of picky so I wasn't sure... Amazing. Now for my entree, I got the orange chicken, PERFECTION heavy orange flavor with the perfect crispy outside. I might have a new favorite place!!“

“absolutely love this place. dim sum and noodle dishes are all top notch“

“Restaurant was clean, the one girl working was very kind and accommodating, she checked with the cook to make sure things did not contain fish sauce and other animal ingredients (vegan). I had the yellow curry and it was tasty.
The only thing that I would say was a negative - the menu no longer has Indian options like samosa and they also did not have sushi. Options were mostly Thai and Chinese. It would also be great and make it easier if things were labeled whether they are vegetarian and/or vegan so the server doesn’t have to check.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! I ordered the veggie rice combo and the ramen — the broth was so flavorful and delicious. The service was excellent, and the owners were incredibly kind and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“First time visiting; food was phenomenal! Easily the best Thai food we’ve had. We got the Pad Thai and Kung Pound Kyaw and it was delicious, great level of spice on both, very hot, fresh and quick. Friendly atmosphere and prices were also good. We will be back!!“

“Food was absolutely delicious. My wife and I order different dishes. Maple Cajun Salmon and grits were amazing. Salmon was cooked perfectly, the grits were a great pairly with the savory and sweet mix. My wife ordered the Cajun Chicken Cheesesteak, she ate it up and left nothing behind. Food was simply amazing. If you are looking for a sign to try their food, here it is.“

“My friend and I went for lunch. The waitress was wonderful, quick to take our order, and quick to get our food out. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. The entire experience was wonderful and pleasant, something that is hard to find these days. We both look forward to returning with our families.“

“Went there for the first time with my friend and her 2 kids, who had just went for their first time just a couple days prior! Dinner time, told a 15 min wait, perfectly understandable. We waiting in the car until they called to say they were ready. We all did the All You Can Eat. Ordering on the table tablet was easy. My only comment would be, it will be easier when all items have pictures attached, but everything had descriptions so you knew what you were getting. We did see the 90 minutes limit warning but we were there for closer to 2hrs and never once felt rushed or cut off. A couple items we ordered multiples of and were never told a limit. We also placed our orders semi staggered. Each person did their own first round and ordered. Then after ordered as wanted. I'd enjoyed my experience and left super full. Knowing what I would order from our local sushi place we would have easily spent 60 per person vs the AYCE price. Staff was super nice and there was someone always available!“

“excellent everytime! taken many friends there to try. super friendly staff! tea first then dipping sticks,an awesome meal then fresh orange slices very reasonable price!!“

“A gem of a restaurant! Everything was fantastic. The won ton soup with their homemade wontons is the best. My wife had garlic chicken, very flavorful. I had Singapore Mei Fun that was great! All this with a free pot of wonderful Chinese tea and 6 orange slices. Awesome service too!“

“YOU HAVE TO GO HERE! Such a good spot. If you’ve never had Hawaiian, you have to give it a try! Hefty portions for a fair price. It being in the brewery is perfect too. I bet this place will be a super popular summer destination! The best part was the service though. The chef (who I have a feeling may be the owner as well) was super friendly and hand delivered the food to your table and was just a genuine person who appreciated every customer. This is the type of person you want to support (plus having amazing food helps too!) Give this place a try, it’s a now must stop!“

“This place has an absolutely ginormous menu of options and typically that would make me take a pause on how good it might actually be. But everything I tried and everything my friends ordered looked and tasted delicious! I got the spring rolls as well as their Chicken Pad Thai, and both of them were quite delicious and well portioned. The peanut sauce that came with the spring rolls tasted fresh and really helped the flavor pop. Definitely looking forward to a return visit just to try many more things on the menu.“

“The Tea Leaf Cafe is my favorite place to get boba.

I should note that this fact in and of itself isn't particularly impressive. I've only been to a few other boba places, and the only other place that I know the name and location of had some issues with the freshness of the foodstuffs they offered. So this place had a very low bar to clear.

That said, it cleared that bar pretty comfortably. The tea itself is good. I have no complaints about it, but also I haven't really encountered a place that does boba wrong, so it doesn't get many points for this. Where this place excels is in its atmosphere. There are black faux leather couches that you can sit on. There are tables along the side where UB students are writing their anthropology essays on their laptops. There's a bookshelf in the far corner with books that are free to take and leaf through, and board games left behind by the city's go club, which meets there every Thursday evening. There's always an interesting playlist/station on in the background, but it's rarely the same. Sometimes it's reggae, sometimes it's jazz, sometimes it's a sort of easy-listening form of pop, sometimes it's indie folk. I can't guarantee that you'll like what you hear, but I think you're always going to be okay with it.

I will levy two minor complaints, neither of which are enough to drop my rating down below 5 stars. The first is that the front door needs to be fixed somehow. The inner door doesn't automatically close, which makes the temperature buffer antechamber lose its functional purpose, and it causes the inside of the place to get a bit chilly on colder nights.

My second complaint is that the night time lighting is a little too dim for my tastes, and I imagine for the tastes of anyone who isn't there with the intention of taking a nap. The walls and ceiling of the place are already painted a dark color, so the choice of lighting makes the place pick up a bit of a cellar vibe more than a cafe vibe, and I sometimes feel my brain working more slowly than usual because of it.

But those two minor issues aside, I'm quite pleased with this place's atmosphere, staff, seating arrangements, and quality and availability of tea. Definitely check it out if you're up for some bubble tea.“

“One of my go-to spots to get authentic Chinese food. I almost always get the steamed fish with ginger and scallion. Staff is really nice and their dim sum menu is also really good. Had an Uber eats driver drop off the wrong order once and i called in and had to pick up the correct order. They were super nice and apologetic.

Edit: (September 2024)
I think they’re under new management. Prices got higher and food quality got lower. I ordered Hainan chicken over rice and tastes totally different from before. Sadly will have to find a new place to order from.“

“Will is a fantastic waiter! In a world full of mediocrity, he is a rarity! He went above and beyond in service and in hospitality! Very friendly and helpful and made the dining experience tremendous! He is definitely a leader and is a role model for customer service. Thank you“

“Endless Options and choices.
I Recommend Getting Spicy Beef Stew With Udon if You are Feeling Spicy.
Ordering Congee with Pork for Rainy or Cold Days. And I also Enjoy the Spare Ribs With Rice Dish! As Long as you know what you like before entering this Place is a Staple and their Bubble Tea is Really Affordable!“

“Best Chinese around, always fresh & hot“

“Hong Kong Kitchen has been a family favorite for years. I don't think there are any menu items we haven't tried. Fried rice, blackened pepper chicken, sesame chicken, fried dumplings, just a few items I want to order after writing this.“
