They rated the taste and authenticity of the food a 9.5/10 and recommended it as a "must visit place in Buffalo, NY."

However, another reviewer had a significantly negative experience with the Bami soup.

They also reported the absence of char siu pork and sesame oil, and only a minimal amount of fried onions. The reviewer also criticized the chicken, which they said tasted like it had been "sitting in the fridge for a week," and found egg shells in the soup. They deemed the food "awful" and stated they would never return.

Everything we ordered has very authentic taste. I loved their tea leaf salad and papaya salad. For curry, pannang curry was really good. Overall 9.5/10 for taste and authenticity of food. Must visit place in Buffalo, NY.

Service was lovely but the soup I ordered was a complete disappointment. I got the Bami soup which is described on the menu as "Egg noodles, bok choy, green onions, fried onions, char siu (barbecued pork) with sesame oil." I was served rice noodles in broth that might as well have been water for all the flavor it had and NO char siu pork or sesame oil. There was half a teaspoon at most of fried onions. The lunch menu specifies a choice of protein as well (chicken, pork, beef, etc...) I was only offered chicken or veggie. The chicken tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge for a week. There were also egg shells in the soup. I would never go here again. Awful food.

I was in Buffalo for work and found this online. It had good ratings, after eating here, I can see why! Choo Chee duck was excellent. My waiter, Joe, was knowledgeable, professional and had a great personality. Highly recommended Taste of Asia!

This place is SO GOOD!!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ If you're looking for the best pad thai in buffalo, this is definitely up there. We had beef pad thai with level 3 spice and it was scrumptious!!! Fresh crunchy bean sprouts, tender beef, and the perfect kick ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‹ We also had pineapple fried rice and general tso's chicken, both of which were delicious. ๐Ÿ˜ They were so nice and gave us bottled water, miso soup, and chocolate snacks on the house!! Bathrooms were super clean too! Would absolutely recommend this place. ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜Œ The only thing is that the google maps hours seem to be incorrect; nowadays they open around 4pm instead of 1pm โ“ Would recommend calling first to see if they are open. I hope they decide to participate on doordash because their food is bussing!!! ๐Ÿ˜

Best Asian food in Buffalo. Best service. Staff is friendly. Food was amazing, worth the money 100%. I ordered vegetable spring rolls, orange chicken, and general tso chicken. The food was fresh and delicious. Our waiter waited for us to finish eating our food and for us to ask for the check before bringing it over, did not rush as at all. Overall great experience. I will be recommending this restaurant to all my friends and I will be returning.
