Our second time here and we loved it! They even took note of the “special occasion” selected when booking and brought out a sweet little dessert for our anniversary.

Beautiful restaurant. The service was too slow for us. I have requested a table with more light since we are deaf and we depend on sign language where we need to see each other. They gave us a dark space where I had to ask for five small candles on our table. The order was wrong where one dish didn’t have prawn in the noodles so they made another one and it was delicious. If I didn’t notice it- would have missed out. Basically - the service wasn’t as good as I hoped. Even though I informed them that I was deaf - they still speak while I told them to write down or type. They didn’t. A bit frustrating. But the cocktail drinks were beyond delicious. The chicken dumpling and carrot dumpling was really good.

We have been frequent diners to Buddakan especially since we live in the neighborhood. The food and service are always outstanding and it makes for a great night out for birthdays or just a great meal. The Dumpling making lunch was so much fun and one of the best food experiences we have had in NYC. It was so much fun to learn to make the dumplings! The additional food that was served as part of the lunch was so good. Chef Zach Taylor and his team were fun and engaging. We loved the tour of the kitchen. This was truly a special event I would do over and over again with other friends! Simply outstanding!

One person in the party did not get his dinner so we had to ask a few times where his meal was. The restaurant compensated us with free dessert but the overall experience was disappointing.

En general, la comida normal y nada extraordinaria. El ambiente no está mal, quizá demasiado alta la música, no se podía ni hablar. Lo que menos nos gustó fue que tuvimos que esperar más de 45 minutos por la mesa y al preguntar nos trataron bastante mal y nos dijeron: "esto es Nueva York, es lo que hay un sabado"... pues entonces que no reserven mesas a una hora concreta. No repetiremos.

We were dissapointed with the initial seating but once we were given a better option, everything was terrific! My partner and I sampled 3 appetizers, all were delish! Dinner centered around Peking Duck which was perfectly tender with tasty crackling skin. The sticky crab rice could have used some soy sauce which I stole from the Gai Lan, a yummy salty/vinegary chinese broccoli. The service topped off a wonderful evening! Oh, we passed on dessert since nothing struck our fancy.

As soon as we got to the restaurant we were so impressed by how nice the ambiance was and how good the menu looked. When our waitress Alba came to introduce herself, we informed her about the severe nut allergies at our table. She then brought cocktails that contained nuts. After both of the girls at our table with the nut allergies had already drank the cocktails, she came up and informed us the drinks had nuts. Safe to say the vibe was then ruined for the night as both girls were extremely anxious about going into anaphylactic shock. They did not even comp the drinks, but instead brought us a free desert when we told her very clearly we weren’t interested in desert because we had already been waiting for food for 1 hour and 45 mins. After we paid, our waitress Alba came up to us and told us we should’ve given her a bigger tip. We tried to explain to her how the nut allergies are so serious and she’s lucky no one died at the table, but she said we still should’ve tipped better. She told us she personally paid for our free desert, but I explained to her we didn’t want a desert we wanted the drinks comped since they contained nuts and could not be consumed. I was extremely disappointed with how unprofessional her service was, and I think all of this could’ve been easily avoided if she knew how important it was to check ingredients for allergies.

The menu at Buddakan is a culinary journey that combines the flavors of Asian cuisine in a creative and innovative way. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with exquisite flavors and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who guided us through the menu and made excellent recommendations. The atmosphere was vibrant yet intimate, making it perfect for both special occasions and casual dinners. Also, Buddakan's attention to detail and commitment to delivering an exceptional dining experience truly sets it apart. If you're looking for a restaurant that combines impeccable cuisine with an unforgettable ambiance, Buddakan in New York is the place to be. I can't wait to return !

Food was good. However, we were sat at a table for 2 upstairs near the restrooms that was positioned extremely close to two other tables. The person sitting on the booth side was trapped and couldn’t get out. The restaurant was loud and felt like a more expensive PF Chang’s. Waiter was nice and the food was good, but we would not go back.

Absolutely unreal. The ambience, lighting, and entrance were absolutely stunning. On top of that, the food was to die for, accompanied by phenomenal service. We were a large group that had some folks with dietary restrictions, however, the restaurant was very accommodating with every person’s taste!

Good quality food but lacks in the taste factor. Basic foods packaged in a more fany manner and too expensive for the taste. But! The pork chops were fantastic. Everything else pretty much paled.
