• Asian • Old City
Booked 100 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.

    Ribs and eggplant dishes were great. General Tso dumplings were tasty but dough was on thick side. The place was very busy and service was delayed a bit. Noisy cause it’s a hot spot! Food was the highlight. All food was served hot and fresh. Beautiful too. We’ll be back.

    Honestly.. It was one of the first upscale restaurants I’ve been to, I can’t usually justify the huge price tag that comes with a meal for two. However, I had a baby 5 months ago & I felt we deserved the experience, having a night out to ourselves. It was superb. We had the Caesar, the cheese board, rolls, cornbread, Brussels, and risotto. The entrees sounded good but not necessarily what we were looking for. They made sure we were finished with our first appetizer course, its dishes, and even the table was wiped off between courses. The cocktails were moderately priced, the food prices were average for the atmosphere, and service was excellent - we had Eduardo as our server. Definitely recommend.

    Considering it was a very busy Valentines day, seeing the lines at the check-in made me very glad I had a reservation for a month. Kitchen was busy but our wonderful server Matt made sure to set the expectation of a wait. This is our third time being lucky having Matt as our server and he's just great!
