I have tried multiple dishes from this place including dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, spicy diced chicken fried rice and most of their dim sum items. The food ranges from okay to good. I still haven't found any dish that would rank 1st as compared to other restaurants that I have tried. But this is still one of the better Chinese restaurants in Buffalo even if the price point is high.

Drove all the way from Niagara Falls. The website and Google say dine-in.

There was a sign in the window that read "Take Out Only". We walked in to confirm and were greeted by a woman at the other end of the restaurant yelling at us "Take Out Only". We walked out. Waste of gas and time. Gas is too expensive to waste.

Only offering take away. The glass noodles with minced pork is great. So is the braised pork.

This place used to be good and we liked their lamb dishes. Once we ordered a lamb dish as a take out. That dish was terrible had lot of scallion with very little lamb and the preparation was terrible.

I just switching take out order from two places at covid time. . Mhc and house of gourmet. They both pretty my like. No dine in for both restaurants but pretty busy with dd, gh takeout. I don't have dd or gh acct. when I order, I always pickup.. Bz I want them to get 100% . Dd and gh cut 25% to 30% from restaurants . They are the one who making big money on covid time. We should push ny legislation to cap the % like LA. I always spoke with deliver men and they only earn per hour and tips.
Anyway, if you are like spicy dishes , plz try at this place. Mhc should earn more better stars than

Miss hot cafe is one of the best authentic Chinese food you can get in buffalo. I give a 4.5 star only because it’s little pricey.

Hidden Gem that's a great Lunch/Dinner Spot on a week night. Clean and bright and colorful. The manager was very prompt and polite, and the food came out quickly and was delicious. Definitely reccomend the Chow Mein with Sesame Seeds. Big portion sizes too

It's been a hot minute since I came here. They updated their menu and i feel like it has more selections now. It also has better visual. My friends never been here so I took them for the first time after coming back from Toronto.

The staffs are friendly and provided good service. The food itself was amazing. I always get the fish in chili soup (don't know the exact menu name), the braised pork, and the eggplant with garlic sauce. They were so good. The portion size for the fish is super big so make sure to share that dish. I suggest getting rice with it.

I have to go back again with

They have great food and good sized portions. Great pricing and really authentic. You should go! It takes them like 15 minutes to bring out a bunch of food and the pork buns are banger(:

"Why don't I eat here more often???"

Everything we ordered was exceptionally good AND the service was great. A large menu with many unusual choices!

Try Miss Hot Cafe instead of your usual Chinese restaurant and you'll be a believer!

Recently had lunch at the restaurant. I ordered the eggplant pot/casserole. It came in a fancy serving dish and was delicious. My husband had the fish and sour cabbage soup. He thought it was very good, as well. I had to order a side of rice, because my eggplant didn't come with any. The waitress was very nice. We would definitely go back.

The only two adjectives for this place is great food and bad service.
This is my second time here and I ordered crispy lamb fry. It cost $17 and no rice!!! Are you serious?
For the quality of meat and proper cooking I wanted to give it 4 stars, but they need to learn hospitality.

I liked this place when I was able to have the dim sum, but unfortunately I'm counting my carbs, so had to order something else. I decided on the chicken curry, which is pretty simple and similar across the board. Not here. This slop came out in a 9" Pyrex pie plate and was full of potatoes, big chunks of carrots, and every piece of chicken was gristly and coated with flour or cornstarch which absorbed the curry sauce and sat on the chicken like a paste. So much for carbs. Seriously though, I ate very little and left he rest.
Hubs thought his was good, but put a big bowl of spicy meat

I think I like their food. I prefer "simple" Chinese food than Americanized Chinese food so...
All food had good taste and it definitely worth paying:) some mention about price and I agree slightly but it's way better than other Americanized Chinese.
The only thing I was feeling awkward was that the waitress never smiled.lol

Been looking for a Chinese restaurant to compare with my favourite from Syracuse (Red Chili) and I've found it here at Miss Hot Cafe. We ordered the braised pork ( pork belly ), glass noodles with ground pork ( spicy ), and baby Bok Choi with black mushrooms as our veg.

Pork belly was fantastic. The sauce was very tasty and added to the Bok Choi and the hard boiled eggs that come with it too.

My favourite dish at Red Chili was very similar to Miss Hot's glass noodles with ground pork. I highly recommend this dish. It's very flavourful and savory. If you like spicy food

This place is a little more expensive for some Chinese food. Not all the items on the menu are authentic Chinese food. The place is pretty clean, service is mediocre, and it has a casual ambiance.

The only reason I would go back to this place is for the braised pork dish!! It is to die for with the shanghai bok choy and the tea eggs. Over time, portions did get smaller and the quality did go down a bit, but not a significant change.
