Waves

Papaya may have closed some time ago, but its successor in the same location is keeping the Asian-fusion tradition alive on Chippewa. Waves' à la carte menu encompasses a wide range of sushi rolls, mains of Thai curries and noodle dishes, and an appetizer list dominated by tempura options, all competently executed, but the main draw here is all-you-can-eat seafood. Buffalo was a late adopter of this concept, but with Waves the city sure made up for lost time: the gargantuan slate of sushi, sashimi, nigiri, and other specialties of astonishingly high quality is where the chef's creativity really comes out in full force. Prices are a tad high, but you get what you pay for: not only great food but speedy and friendly service, all in an impressive ambience.
