    Buddakan has always been one of our favorite restaurants to go to. However, the last few times, we feel that it hasn’t been as good as it use to be. We always order the tasting menu that includes the peking duck because it has been an experience with great presentation. Unfortunately, last night was not. Food was good but not great. Our favorites were the Edamame Dumplings, Tuna Tartare Spring Rolls, Charred Filet of Beef and Broken Chili Chicken. The other dishes served from the tasting menu were just ok. For me the duck was a disappointment. Peking duck is suppose to be sliced. Thats how it has always been served to us in the past. Ours was chopped into little pieces. It seemed like they pieced it together from scraps they had left over including multiple wings. In regard to service there were a few hang ups with drinks. We had to ask a few times for water, our sons soda never showed up until we reminded our waitress and cappuccinos never showed up during our dessert service. With so many great restaurants in NYC, I don’t think I will be back anytime soon.

    The experience is poorer than our last visit. The value is okay. The dessert was the best part of the whole experience.

    Richard was our waiter and was superb. Food recommendations were perfect. We had a late reservation, but they did not rush us. It was all perfect.

    Took them about 30-40 minutes to seat my party. I don’t understand what the point in making a reservation is if you’re not going to hold tables for the reservations.
