Price: Expensive
• Asian • Old City
Booked 81 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.

    What an absolute delight this restaurant is! Starr has knocked it out of the park once again!! Food, ambiance, and service was outstanding! Very clean. Ask for Leah if you’re able to; she was the BEST! (Honestly, best server we’ve ever had, anywhere! 🙂)

    We love SkyHigh, especially Xmas time! It’s a really special place with a fabulous view and menu. But something is always a little off so I gave it a 4. Food was not hot and toast that comes with the meals wasn’t served. Not a big deal but there’s no reason for this wonderful place not to be perfect. We will still go back.
