Price: Expensive
• Asian • Old City

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.

    Overall it was a nice evening. The tasting menu was far more filling than I had remembered, so keep that in mind if you plan on ordering it. The servers did a good job of explaining the plates, and most of the items came out quickly ( it was not crowded at the time we were there) I did have a few service “anomalies” through the evening which I will share with the restaurant privately.

    Andrew was a phenomenal waiter, very knowledgeable, professional and yet personable. We opted for the Omokase and it did not disappoint! Worth the price. This was the best food experience I have had so far! The space is quite modern, very clean, and we will definitely be back.

    Outstanding experience with superb food. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our tight timing to make a show at the Arden. Gnocchi was light and delish. The flatbread was some of the best I’ve had. Airy with dill and sesame seeds and a delish goat cheese dipping sauce. But the stars were the burgers which two guests enjoyed - perfectly executed served with heavenly fries. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Excellent all around.
