I’m new to BUFFALO. The menu looked decent so I thought I’d give this place a shot. And omfg do I regret it.

Upon arriving during lunch hour on a Friday I see just two other customers in the restaurant. I’m promptly seated to my table and offered the menu. I look at my table and it’s decorated with the ocean and a giant sea turtle. What I might expect at Sea World or a seafood restaurant, not a restaurant specializing in Vietnamese Pho. The waiter was attentive and capable. I ordered the $12 lunch special of Chicken and Avocado Salad. (pictures included) The salad was delicious *despite* bathing in salad dressing. It was soaking in it. Perhaps lightly dressing the salad in the kitchen and providing the customer with the remaining dressing on the side would be a better option?

A step below Mall food. Cuisine appeared reheated and not fresh. We arrived at 9:00 when the restaurant stated it closed at 10:00. The person at the door clearly did not want us there and I felt we were going to be turned away. I wish they had. The place was empty. The waitress was friendly but the food was at best mediocre. They had no beer on tap and when I ordered a Vietnamese beer called Saigon, I got a Thai beer instead. The decor, atmosphere and music was as Mall like as the food. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I have eaten Thai food throughout the country and outside. Even if this was a off night there is no way this establishment is worth a visit. I never like to give a bad review unless it is truly earned.

The place looks good. And it’s a lot of space inside. Was empty when we visited the place, but it looks new. I’ve 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. Wouldn’t have any problem to visit this restaurant again and try something else.

If you want to experience best Asian food, this would be the place. They make everything so fresh and tasty.

So, I am here on a work trip and have never been to Buffalo and I called and the woman that answered the phone was EXTREMELY RUDE!! She states we close at 9:30 and by the way I called at 9:00 and I am staying in the hotel connected to the restaurant. I let her know that the website stated they were open until 10 pm and she basically cut me off and said we close at 9:30 today very rudely and I kindly let her know that the website stated otherwise and that this probably needed to be fixed for other people to know. If they don’t want my money I’ll definitely take it elsewhere!! Glad I didn’t go get me a dessert and a drink or give them one penny! And I don’t EVER write bad reviews but she for sure earned this one! I was in the restaurant business for 12 years and it doesn’t matter if you close in a hour or 30 minutes!! It’s your job to serve whomever comes in and when they leave you leave! At least that’s how it worked every where else! Owners need to know they lost money tonight! And I’m sure more than just my business ‍♀️

Went in for an early dinner/late lunch with my family…was not expecting such a beautiful interior! The food was great and so was the service (even if we were the only ones inside). Don’t be fooled by the exterior. Waves was a delightful eating experience.

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
