My wife and I came to have dinner here on a Friday evening. We were greeted by our server, Cassandra,, who provided all the recommendations. We had spicy mango rum and sake for drinks, spicy chicken meatballs broth and crab special for appetizers, hand made noodles, and crispy chicken egg noodles for entrees, and creme brulee for dessert. All were recommended by Cassandra. Food was awesome and delicious. Ambience and environment was very friendly. Would totally come back again. Cute place to hang out, date night out, and a family dinner place

If my partner hadn’t walked by and known it was there, we (taking a friend around Buffalo to help you estimate the amount of food ordered) wouldn’t have stopped where we were going to pop in. And we would have missed out on one of the besting dining spots around the downtown. We had the Mung Bean, the lo mein, and the udon beef. We also had a small carafe of sake which was smooth. When the mung bean came out, everyone was so disappointed that they hadn’t gotten that instead. But Jennifer personally made sure we had extra bowls to share. It’s the best combination of flavors-Rich and buttery and I can’t wait to come back in the winter for a nice warm bowl. We also had the chocolate Negroni which were delicious. Everyone working there was so friendly and personable. We were sad to leave and look forward to the next time. The flan is also one of the best desserts. I wish I could explain how amazing it was. I’ll probably go back and update this post with a better description.

The space is hidden away, but well worth "discovering". The vibes are cozy, warm, and inviting. The space is clean and open. Prices are good for a weekday lunch or a full date night, plenty bang for your buck here. Fun cocktail list and food comes out quickly. The beef lo mein was spectacular, with a sear and plenty of juiciness. The tofu also got a thumbs up for its texture! Will be excited to return soon

We recently dined at K:Dara Noodle Bar and were thoroughly impressed with the experience. As vegans, we were delighted to find a variety of vegan-friendly options on the menu. We ordered the broccoli stir fry and the sprouted bean salad, and both dishes were fantastic. The flavors were vibrant and fresh, and the portion sizes were generous, leaving us completely satisfied. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. Apologies for the picture of my wife’s half-eaten dish. This one was good too :) Overall, K:Dara Noodle Bar is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious vegan options and top-notch service. Highly recommended!

Was in town for a conference and decided to check this place out for dinner. What a hidden gem! It's tucked away underground in a nice quiet area. They were very accommodating - didn't book a reservation and they were able to squeeze us in with no wait. Super relaxed atmosphere and the food was incredible. If you happen to go when they offer the K-Bread...get it, you won't regret it! If I ever visit Buffalo again, I will definitely be back :)

Amazing food in a fantastic location. I've walked past it many times, not knowing what a gem of a restaurant it was. One of our new favorite places to eat downtown. Highly recommend for a great night out!

I rarely check all stars for restaurants. But this definitely beat expectations. Tried the potato leek dumplings because the mushroom was unavailable. They were sweetishly savoury and the sauce it came with was great. I had the special with handmade noodles customized to my spice level and it was amazing. They also had the best fried rice I’ve ever had in a noodle bar. Full marks for the waiter who really persuaded us to have the daily special. He was also very cordial, patient and knowledgeable.
