"James and Connie Roberts, the husband-and-wife team behind Toutant, opened Dobutsu in 2018 with the aim of bringing quality seafood to Western New York. At their Larkin Square spot, the menu highlights American and Asian Pacific fare, with a strong focus on fish dishes like Caribbean jerk snapper and grilled Nova Scotia salmon—though options like Wagyu beef ribs and tomahawk pork tonkatsu are also available. The Hawaiian poke bowls are especially popular, served with either bigeye tuna and sesame soy, or marinated Atlantic salmon and ginger miso. If you’re celebrating something special, opt for the omakase and let the kitchen choose your courses and wine pairings."

The food and cocktails were invited prepared with great care. Everything was delicious and the environment was great for casual conversation. The staff was very helpful and attentive. My water pretty much never ran out. They even surprised my mom with a birthday dessert.

Tasty food and great ambience! Not stuffy, but relaxed and easygoing atmosphere. The ramen was good - the pork was the star of the bowl. The egg was nicely cooked but I wished it was marinated, and the soup was on the saltier side. The Korean fried chicken was awesome. So far my favorite Korean style fried chicken in buffalo, and I appreciate that it wasn't drowned in sauce (the sauce came on the side). Great bar and draft drink selection. I had a really tasty farmhouse cider on tap.

My wife and I had great time here. The dumplings have an amazing dipping sauce. The server was great as well. The Hamachi was delicious. And with savory Ramen bowls to top it off, dinner was fantastic

Had a great time at Dobutsu. Was our first time there and my wife and I loved it! Food was fantastic. Very good prices as well. Great drink menu. Will be going back for sure. Need to try their 60-80-100 offering with a small group. Would be fun.

It's such a pain to go out and have an enjoyable meal during COVID, but then here comes Dobutsu to the rescue! Everything was top notch. From making the reservation online, to the staff, the coctails and the food, I'm beyond impressed. The minamalist elegant design of the space is the perfect complement to the stunning food presentation...EVERYTHING was outstanding. I started off with the shumai and washed it down with a "zombie", which is the best drink I've had in ages. Then indulged in the Pork Ramen which was out of this world. Customer for life.

Loved the tuna steak and oysters, definitely on the pricier side but very good. My friends got the lobster ramen and commented how they felt the onion and scallion flavor was a bit strong near the end. Overall a good experience.

Loved every bit of it! The staff provided excellent service. We got the pastrami bao and big eye tuna as starters and split the special lobster special. Everything was fantastic.
