I don't know why it took me so long to get over to 99 Fast Food Restaurant on Bailey Avenue. Ever since the restaurant closed on Niagara Square, it has been (at least for me) out of sight, out of mind. The last time that 99 was featured on BRO was back in March of 2008... almost three years ago. At that time I made a note to try it - I wonder where that note went? It was a buddy at work who suggested that we indulge ourselves with a bowl of Phở earlier today... that's why I figured that I would resurface the article after eating such a delicious meal.
For some reason, I had it in the back of my mind that 99 Fast Food was more of a take out place. That's why I was surprised to find an ample-sized dining room with full service wait staff. The place looked great! As the previous BRO article mentions, 99 Fast Food serves up a real feast of Vietnamese and Japanese dishes at very reasonable prices. Being a pescetarian, I opted to go with the vegetarian spring roll and the tofu stir fry with tomato sauce. I also ordered, hesitantly I might add, an avocado milkshake to my order... something that I never even knew existed.
My friend raves about 99 all the time. He rarely strays from the Phở, referring to it as the best in Buffalo - he always goes for the raw meat version. Per usual, he was completely satisfied with his 'dish', especially given the opportunity to manipulate it with Sriracha hot sauce, bean sprouts, jalapeños, lime and basil. My dish was more filling than it looked (considering it was vegetarian), which was fine because I walked in with a real appetite. Between the peanut dipping sauce with the spring roll, the delicate tomato sauce and the subtleness of the avocado, 99 had delivered a smorgasbord to my tastebuds.
If you're anywhere near the University at Buffalo South Campus, make a point to stop over at 99 Fast Food Restaurant. You'll enjoy the relaxed atmosphere almost as much as the incredible Vietnamese and Japanese food.

i loved the place they had just off niagara square. it was a real culinary loss for downtown when it was demolished to make way for the new federal courthouse. i sure wish they'd open another downtown location.
