Hi Folks:
I'll be in Buffalo for 4 days in Feb., and am planning to be wined and dined
to the max, to make up for freezing my tail off! Any suggestions for good
sushi in that area?
Thanks. Jack

First - bundle up! It's been quite cold up here, as you can imagine....
(First, one link I found:
http://sushiref.com/listings/na/usa/ny/buffalo/

Here's a short list of places I can suggest:
Kuni's Sushi Bar
752 Elmwood Ave, Buffalo NY
(716) 881-6819
(IIRC, very small, very GOOD, get there early, right at opening and you
can sit up by the Chef's counter - call for hrs)

Osaka Sushi Bar and Grille
3112 Main Street
Buffalo, NY 14214
716.831.0443
(Also nice! More SitDown type feel, but still VERY nice!)

Still need help getting around, feel free to drop me a note and I'll see
what info I can get you.

Hi ShujinTribble:
I'll battle the cold if they'll feed me sushi!! And sake!
Yes, I have heard plenty of Kuni's. Was also told that it is very exclusive
and small, so possibly may have to wait quite a while?
What are your personal recommendations? I'm going to be with a bunch of MD's
and they're picking up the tab, so I'm gonna live it up!!
Thanks for the input. Jack.

(Chuckle) fair enough...

First off, bring layers to wear - the temps and wind chills are a little
on the nasty side right now (anywhere from +30 F to -20 F depending on
the day). If you have an overcoat and a denim jacket to wear under it
(or something similar in cold-blocking weight), you should be good...
and gloves and a scarf! (Laugh now, but you'll thank me when you get
back to... Where you from again? SMIRK!)

Seriously, Kuni's IS small... I mean REALLY small... you can turn in a
circle with your arms out and tap 1/2 the people in the place if you
aren't careful. Its worth it to get there at opening, just to get a
table / stool.

Osakas is bigger - LOOKS more like a restaurant than Kuni's... So you
won't have to wait long - unless the place is REALLY hoppin'. As to
quality... it was good there. Had a great time!

If you want the kitschy (sp?) version, you can always request going to
Shogun - Transit Rd / NY-78 across from Eastern Hills Mall. Been there a
couple times, but not for sushi yet.

Seriously, I wish you well... and if by ANY stretch you'll be visiting
Roswell Park Cancer Institute... Tell them they do GREAT work - I thank
them on behalf of my wife! (And if you're around on a monday night, I'm
part of a college radio show from 10pm - midnight - 91.3fm / WBNY. Give
a call!)

We'll be flying in from Texas ... we're still kinda warm here for winter, so
this NY winter is going to be a shocker, but I think it'll be an experience
(... which I'll probably not forget for quite a while!!)
We'll be visiting several hospitals; Millard Fillmore (and all their
associates) and Buffalo General, unfortunately, not Roswell Park, but I'll
pass the word along.
Our hotel is the Marriott at Amherst. Is this anywhere close to any of the
places you all mentioned? I don't care to drive much if the weather is going
to be bad.
I'll probably try to hit Kuni's one evening, and then reserve the rest for
something less exclusive since we do have some people who have never tried
sushi before.
We'll be arriving on a tuesday, so won't be able to catch your show ...
sorry.
Thanks for your input. Jack.

Amherst, eh? ok... things'll be a little out-of-the-way for you (meaning
Kuni's and Osakas), but worth the trip. Don;t forget, we deal with the
snow every year... somtimes for 9 months at a clip. (Kidding) It'll be
cold, but the roads'll be pretty dry (they are by me, and I live out in
the area known as "ski-country").

As for the hospitals, Millard Fillmore Suburban is where my daughter was
born - nice crew. While you're there I would suggest you see about going
to Wegmans (grocery store) at Sherridan Drive and Essjay (Basically go
out to the traffic light and turn left). If you go in during the day
(lunch!) in the food entrance (on the right) they have a sushi kiosk
where they make it right in front of you and sell it. These guys are
GOOD at what they do!

Hope the trip goes well, and you have a great reality story to tell the
folks back home... For instance, buffalo winters aren't as bad as
everyone thinks - they're worse, but DAMN! can they dig out when it
hits! (Smirk)
