Exceptional(11380)
Price: Expensive
• Asian • Old City
Booked 196 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.

    Incredible food! We loved our cocktails as well. We got the Dumpling sampler and was delicious! The pork and edamame were our absolute favorite, all amazing. We got the shrimp lo mein, cashew chicken, and spring rolls as well. All flavorful, fresh, and piping hot! We loved this food and will be back on our next trip to Philly! We were seated in the main dining room near the kitchen. Although a bit busier and louder that area, it was very intimate with a great view of the Resturant in return. Thank you so much Buddakan! can’t wait to come back. :)

    We really enjoyed the cocktail specials and especially the mushroom gnocchi which is a must to order. The tuna appetizer also stood out as the flavor was amazing. Both dinners we ordered were also great as we ordered the swordfish and striped bass. The bass was definitely better. Service was great and attentive.

    We had 4 happy hour food choices and 3 drinks and a menu salad and a Paella. All were delicious and much more than we could eat there (we took some home)! The service was so good and our wait staff and hosts were happy and upbeat! We had fun talking with them! The ambience with subdued lighting and real candles made for a simple elegance worthy of selfies and a comfortable meal table. We could actually talk and hear each other as we dined! The manager came to our table and she is a delight.
