• Asian • Old City
Booked 105 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.

    The jerk chicken Mac bowl and oxtail Mac bowl were 🔥🔥🔥🔥. The ambiance is nice but was hoping for a little more music and not necessarily a movie. The drinks were pricey and only tasted okay, lots of ice, small glass. Other than that, would definitely go back for the food!!!!

    I got lucky enough to visit here for Valentine's Day, and it was absolutely fantastic! The second we walked in, the vibe was intimate, elegant, and just perfect for a night out. The cuisine was amazing. The service was 10 out of 10, attentive, and made us feel rightly valued. Silky smooth, and we were never hurried. Overall, an amazing experience. I'll be returning for certain. Highly recommend for any special occasion or even if you simply want a top notch dining experience!

    Isabella and Faith were some of the most attentive, professional, and friendly people we have ever come across during a dining experience. The ambiance was comforting and welcoming, while not being too "stuffy". The food was out. Of. This. World. I would have paid twice the price without question. Even if you're not in town, schedule a trip just to come here. Can’t wait to come back!

    Had a great meal last night. Erica gave outstanding advice about the oysters and appetizers. The cocktail ist was innovative and very exciting. 3 us all had different cocktail choices that tasted very nicely. The food came quickly and was fantastic. Wine selection was very good (the wine list was not too long; just right) and we ended up with a great French white wine that went along very well with our mostly fish dishes. Had not been to this restaurant for a long time but this meal made us realize that we should come here at least once per year.

    Food and service was great as always, my only complaint - we had requested a special table, we come here once a year for a birthday and they did not accommodate our request, and the table remained empty for the entire duration that we were there.
