Overall great experience! The food was delicious, especially the sushi and scallion noodles. Loved the orange dessert too and the brussel sprouts. They forgot to bring out our crispy rice spicy tuna and would have loved to have tried it.

Service was slow. Had to chase down waiter to take orders. Drinks took a long time to come even with a small crowd attending. Hostess brought out the birthday cake only to reveal after we sang happy birthday that the birthday cake that was brought out belong to another table with a whole different name on it....embarrassing!!!! Bill was high and wasnt even worth it.

I decided to celebrate my new job role here and it was absolutely right chose!
The rolls were absolutely delicious, for my opinion it is the best rolls in NYC!
Service and team were friendly and professional, all suggestions from the team were the 10/10
And also I want to mention the quality of sound and DJ set- it the place where you can really enjoy it!

The place is pricey but it's worth it. Food was flavorful and they have good service. We had dinner here to find out about the private function rooms located in the second floor that my wife's company reserved for an event this coming Wednesday.

We were very excited to try Buddha bar. And unfortunately it was very underwhelming. We ordered a bunch of stuff to share. The spicy tuna crispy rice was tasteless and the crab noodles which were $44! were mushy and taste like perfume. The seasoning was just one note and it was not appetizing at all. The waitress was very good and understanding but we were very disappointed in the food. The drinks were delicious but we won’t be returning.
