We loved our experience at Buddakan! Great service and food- even if they don’t put the sticky rice in a crab shell anymore. Would definitely return!

Excellent value for unique dining in the neighborhood. The dry beef noodles were a good pick. A little spicy but not too much. It’s the only place I know of on the east coast to have a Taiwan beer. The stools at the tables felt like what you’d sit on at street food vendors in Taiwan. Will definitely return.
