University Heights: Global Flavor

University Heights is Buffalo’s college corridor, a strip of restaurants, bars and small shops that cater to the community at the University at Buffalo’s South Campus. And it feels just as eclectic and diverse as the nearby student body. Dining options include May Jen, Buffalo’s longest running Chinese restaurant, Sato Ramen, which is often mobbed by students and locals for its tasty and affordable fare, and 99 Fast Food, which many consider the city’s finest Vietnamese restaurant. There’s Indian at Tandoori Hut, the best of New Orleans cuisine at Shango, vegan and vegetarian options at Amy’s Place and, perhaps best of all, hot fudge sundaes at one of Buffalo’s historic ice cream parlors, Parkside Candy. It’s almost enough to make you want to go back to school.
