Stephen Starr’s Buddakan is a spectacular restaurant featuring exotic flavors of modern Asian cuisine with creativity and drama. Bon Appetit notes, "The mostly white space is striking, with a lit-from-within communal table in the middle of the room, a waterfall & a ten-foot, candle-bedecked Buddha. The religious icon watches over hip customers indulging in pan-Asian cuisine that far surpasses the fare usually found at hot spots like this." Newsweek reports, "Design also serves as a signifier for cuisine. You walk into Buddakan, one of the hottest new restaurants in Philadelphia, past a shimmering waterfall & Japanese river stones & you say to yourself, 'ginger-miso everything' even before you see the magnificent 10-foot Buddha dominating the dining room." Named one of “America's Top 50 Restaurants" by Travel & Leisure and 'Top Restaurant for Fun' by Gourmet, Buddakan has become one of the country's most talked about restaurants.

    I wish we could rate this ten stars. A phenomenal experience from start to finish. Great bartenders making great drinks to start the night. Our wait staff was amazing especially Kevin. The meal was off the charts great. We've been eating out in Chicago and other cities this year and the experience and food here was the best hands down. Next time in Philly, we'll be back here and we'll make reservations in advance because this place has quite a following.

    Still reminiscing about last night’s dinner. Core memories were formed, the food was outstanding — honestly that word doesn’t begin to touch how great it was. I travel a lot and experience a lot, I dove deep into recommendations and reviews and we landed on love and we couldn’t be happier. Austin was also LOVEly, 10/10, will certainly be back!!!

    We had a lovely lunch. We ordered the warm shrimp salad with some lovely bubbly to go along with it. The bread basket does not disappoint as one of our highlights. We enjoyed cappuccinos and Profiteroles. Those were delicious! It is one of our favorite places to have a celebration. I don’t know if they read the comments when you make a reservation because we needed to ask for the baby high chair and it was my daughter‘s birthday and nothing was mentioned. Not sure if they do anything, but we’ve been there for birthdays and Mother’s Day and other special occasions. We highly recommend Parc!

    I was here with a date and we just had a fantastic experience. We'd both been here before many times separately. We shared the rabbit pie and the lamb shepherd's pie, and the ricotta appetizer, along with a bottle of Malbec. Nathan was a fantastic server, gave us just the right amount of attention so that we never needed anything but we also didn't feel rushed. All the staff was super professional, the food was exquisite. I've been here for dates and with friends, and it's always a perfect experience in every way.
