   Buddakan has been one of our favorite restaurants for years. Service and ambiance are still a solid 5 stars but our food was inedible except for the General Tso’s Soup dumplings. The Chinese Sausage Fried Rice was not fried, but a steamed gelatin mess! The pork potstickers looked and tasted like frozen grocery store potstickers that were burnt! The fried soft shell crab looked appealing, but there was not one smidge of crab meat! It was only a fried crab shell for $36! Maybe that is why it was not crowded as usual.

   Buddhakan never disappoints, we ordered the lobster egg rolls and the short rib scallion pancakes to start, for the main entree we shared lobster fried rice, the cod and filet minion. The cod was cooked to perfection and the filet was like butter , melted in your mouth delicious 😋! The service was impeccable and this is one of the reasons this restaurant is always going to be my top 5 best places to dine!

   Reserved at 23:15 after a Broadway show; food was great as well as atmosphere. Service was slow, I guess it was late and they just wanted us out. But overall very good.

    Wonderful as always. We were celebrating my 70th birthday. I have been a customer since Buddakan opened. Our server, Ashley, was terrific. A perfect evening. Give her a raise! And the gentlemen who cleared the table and packed our left overs were excellent. Can’t say enough about the dining experience… my favorite place in NYC!

    Doesn’t quite live up to the hype wrt food. Everything else was great. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes but I think a restaurant of this calibre shouldn’t have a single sub-standard dish. Could get similar at our local Chinese.

    Have been to this restaurant many times over the past 15 years. This time, food was mediocre. Lack of quality for dim sum for two. Lots of filler ingredients delivered with our pepper beef. Bathrooms so dirty that I did not feel comfortable eating afterwards. So sad that this once wonderful experience was no longer what we had expected.

    Had a terrific experience. Our server Justin spent time going through the menu since it was our first visit. He was very attentive during the entire meal. The food was wonderful. Our appetizers of pork potstickers and shrimp dumplings were really excellent. The Peking duck entree was very good. An altogether delightful meal.

    The food was good, and our server was very friendly and helpful when it came to accommodating a food allergy. But it took a long time for us to get seated even after our large party was present, and the FOH staff didn’t seem to care. A round of drinks, or even a sincere apology, could have gone a long way. The space is beautiful but very loud.

    Buddakan serves excellent Chinese food from a diverse menu. The service is amazingly good. The ambiance is amazing. This is a VERY noisy restaurant, and one should be prepared to shout to be heard. I wish that they would stop the practice of making you wait in the bar for your table, even though there are multiple empty tables throughout the restaurant.

    Food was good, but the ribs have too many bones. The server (Sam) was hard to find. We had to ask others for help. My daughter’s boyfriend order a Reflection drink twice during the evening. They took forever to come out. The second drink request took so long he got up and went to the bar to inquire. When it was time to look at the dessert menu, Sam gave us 3 menu folders with no menus inserted. We had to flag someone to bring us over dessert menus.

    I love this place!! The lobster fried rice is one of my favorite dishes. The waiter recommended the tuna tartare egg rolls and they were fabulous. Also, the ambiance of the place was is so beautiful and welcome. I want to give a special shout out to our waiter who was absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend and I will be returning soon.

    I’ve visited Buddakan in Philadelphia and that was great. Sadly I assumed I would experience the same in New York City. The entrees were not appetizing at all, however, the appetizers were good. We ordered the lobster rolls and chill rock shrimp and they were equally good. However, the lobster fried rice and shrimp lomein were not good. The rice was definitely yellow box rice and the noodles had large pieces of zucchini that just did not go well together. Needless to say we spent 300 dollars on apps that we enjoyed with a meal that we completely disliked. The waitress was really personable and attentive. I’m saddened by the food experience.
