Kuni's - Japanese restaurant in Buffalo - 226 Lexington Ave, USA

We love Kunis! Came here for my birthday last week and we had a delicious, high quality meal. You can tell they take pride in the cuts of fish they serve. This is the place for you if you enjoy great sushi and high quality items. The sake recommendation was on point, and the service was great. 10/10!

We were looking for a cozy but warm restaurant in the area w lighter dinner options & found it w Kuni!. Waitress was friendly, the restaurant had a nice bustling vibe, & the food was good. Our favorite dish was the hot hot hot fish salad, which was comfortably not too hot at all. The Japanese salad was also pretty good. Also would recommend the agadashi tofu.

We were a big party that came to celebrate. We sat outside at 6:30,looked at the menu and started ordering. The appetizers were delicious and we moved on to ordering the main plates. It took them over an hour and a half(!!!!!) To get the food out, and it was NOT that we ordered an excessive amount of food. When the food finally arrived after that absurd wait, all the sushi rolls we ordered came on the same tray with no way of us knowing what belongs to who and The amount of fish in the sushi was pretty small too. We got no compensation for any inconveniences, and that's okay - that's why we have reviews

I had a great experience here at Kuni's. The atmosphere was nice and calming. Our server was very friendly. The food came out in a reasonable time and was tasty. The miso soup was flavorful. Unlike a lot of places, the spicy tuna roll actually has pieces of tuna in it. Some places use a paste in place of this and it does not taste good. The sushi and nigiri were high quality. As someone who has gotten sick multiple times from bad fish, I had no anxiousness while eating here. We will definitely be returning here in the near future.

This was a great find. Food tasted amazing, and I was really surprised to find some things on the menu you normally don't see in Japanese restaurants in the United States. Very reasonable prices. However, they fill up fast, and the entire restaurant was full within 4 minutes of opening. I would definitely arrive early to get a seat.

Amazing atmosphere. not one complaint about food. fast and worth every penny. Coming back again and recommending all my friends. 10/10

The neighborhood classic for thirty years or so, Kuni's is the gold standard by which all other Japanese restaurants are judged. Jellyfish salad, uni, amberjack, smoked salmon, and grilled black cod are among the standard offerings, in addition to daily specials. This is a small place which does not accept reservations; the hostess takes your cellphone number to call you when your table is ready. (Many people cross the street to sit at the excellent bar there.). Parking is not provided, and the nearby streets are a paid two hours maximum. Our small family arrived just before six on a Tuesday, and we were the last table immediately seated. Service was excellent. Full bar, multiple types of sake and wine available, and it's a lively atmosphere.

Excellent! Been coming to Kunis since the 90s when he was on Elmwood. I have since moved away from Buffalo but every year I come back-I go to Kunis. It’s as great as ever (best crispy rice I’ve ever tasted) and I’m so happy to see it busy and thriving. I joke to my wife that I want to move back here and live on Lexington. Between the Place (classic!) Kunis and now Saint Neri!!! Way too Go Buffalo!
