    We had the tasting menu 3 which was a LOT of really good food. It’s obviously not a cheap place to eat, but it’s worth it if you want something very good. Couldn’t fault the place, but take a jacket, the AC is on high!

    Never been in a place like this, unbelievable! No words to describe the Asia meets France atmosphere. Such a large restaurant and it works like a fine watch. The food is beyond outstanding. We selected the #3 tasting menu. Perfection!

    It’s my 3rd or 4th time to Buddakan in the last 10 years and it never disappoints. The ambience, food and service are superb. Our reservation was for 8pm and the restaurant was not crowded and we were seated quickly.  We over-ordered, but everything was so good, especially the Peking duck for two and the short rib beef noodles, we continued until everything was gone. The service was great as well, and our server took special attention to a accommodate a couple our party’s allergies, going as far as printing out a copy of the menu and crossing all all the things that conflicted with the allergens. The manager came to us between 9:30 and 10:00, and said that our table was needed for a very large party reservation and would we be OK moving to a different table. It was not a big deal to move over one table and she gave us a bottle of champagne and some desserts on the house, and the staff was very thankful. There is a great experience and we will definitely come back again, hopefully soon!

    Very loud experience asked to move to a quieter area but they could not accommodate our request. Service was uneven and hard to get staffs attention.
