Exceptional(11372)
Price: Expensive
• Asian • Old City
Booked 147 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.

    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.

    Service was SLOWWWWW! In their defense it was packed in there. The food was good the drinks were better but the vibe was A1. It was like an upscale party that no one invited you to lol. Music is loud but it was still a chill vibe. It’s hot in there yall so dress accordingly.
