    If you’re seated way in the back be prepared to yell throughout your entire dinner. It is much more manageable in the other parts of the restaurant. The food was as good as I remember it! New items to choose from. The lollipop cauliflower was so tasty as were some pork dishes and lo mein. Service was perfect.

    Absolutely delicious food, but terrible service. The waiter was overly dramatic and was not cognizant of the bartenders inability to make quality drinks. Would go for food and vibes, not service.

    My friends and I dined at Buddakan for my birthday and had the most incredible time! All of the staff from beginning to end were helpful and kind. We ordered several food items to share as a group and found everything to be tasty and fresh. The drinks were equally good and we felt the final purchase price for a group of 8 was more than reasonable. Would highly recommend!

    Buddakan was great! It is absolutely stunning in there. I wasnt the biggest fan of my fish, it just wasnt what I expected but that shouldnt take away from the amazing foods and experience I had.

    My son and I had an amazing experience for dinner. We just went for it on the menu and we were not disappointed. The service was impeccable, the wine selection was great and the ambiance….wow! The ambiance is an experience in itself.

    Buddakan is a site to see. The restaurant itself makes a bold statement. The good news is, our experience was excellent and the food also made a bold statement. We had the pork buns (a must), black peppered beef (very tender), chili rock shrimp (a little kick) and the wild mushroom chow fun. In hindsight we regret not ordering the fried rice - but we had to leave room for dessert. Glad we did. For dessert we had the crying chocolate and the ube mochi donuts. Both were delicious hits. Hard to pick which one was better so get them both! Highly recommend. We also tried a cocktail called Blush. More of a feminine drink served pink which was delicious. I wish I had gotten our server’s name that Sunday evening because he was very helpful in making recommendations and describing the food choices. We have already recommended Buddakan to friends traveling to NY next month. A destination worth reserving.
