• Asian • Old City

Booked 92 times today

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.

We had a great experience as our waiter, Ken, as well as the manager and the other staff, buzzed around the table taking our drink and food orders, endlessly filling our waters (we were quite parched) and being super knowledgeable and patient with our many questions while trying to kindly accommodate both Gluten Free and Starch Free option requests. We got so many appetizers, so many entrees, and sop many drinks (Both alcoholic and non alcoholic) and even had room left to partake in the great desserts and coffee/espresso/latte choices (Caffeinated and Decaf!). Overall a 10 out of 10, great offerings paired with greater service!
