    Buddakan has become more than a restaurant to us--it is a cherished tradition. For twelve consecutive years, we have returned on this very day, drawn by something deeper than habit. This evening was no exception; it was, in truth, exceptional. The staff knew of our long-standing tradition, and the service we received was nothing short of otherworldly. With deep appreciation, I extend a special thank you to Brea, Fatima, and Anya. Your attentiveness, grace, and care elevated the experience beyond expectation. The service was sublime--refined, thoughtful, and utterly unique. It's no wonder this place holds such a special place in our hearts. Our meal, as always, was a celebration of flavor and familiarity: the signature tuna tartare spring rolls, delicate edamame dumplings, savory Chinese sausage fried rice, and this time, a delightful addition--the ginger chicken. Each dish was a triumph. The ice cream that followed? A perfect final note--truly chef's kiss. The food and service at Buddakan are always of the highest caliber, but tonight transcended all expectations. It was magic. The restaurant itself is stunning! As we stepped out into the evening air, my wife had tears of joy in her eyes. Such was the beauty of the moment--simple, profound, and unforgettable. To the Buddakan team--thank you. Thank you for the memories, for your care, and for making this night unforgettable. We raise our glasses to you. Until next time--blessings to each of you.

    Place was practically empty but tried to out us in back corner outside main area. It tells you how empty the food came quicker than the drinks. The tuna spring rolls are a total joke, for 21, seriously ? The pork buns were served borderline cold. Then despite the place being mostly empty they kept wanting take away plates before even done eating. Spoiled the whole space experience which is nice.

    A beautiful restaurant with great atmosphere and food, but much too noisy- almost impossible to have a conversation.
