Buddakan

The real question is what isn't good here? You get what you pay for and this restaurant is worth every single penny. Try the lamb , the BBQ pork , pad thai , crab sticky rice and calamari salad .

Incredible place. Great for dates. You HAVE to get the kimchi fried rice and dumpling sampler. The duck breast was also very good. Pretty easy to get a reservation . Atmosphere and service is 10/10.

Secret off-menu item: order the Red Dragon Tofu ! Even if you aren't vegetarian or vegan (and it is both), you'll love the deep fried tempura , the spicy red dragon sauce and fresh crisp wok veggies .

I expected this to be a bit over-hyped, but the food was really good. Service was solid, and the vibe in the place was great. I would definitely go again. The tomato salad was superb as an opener.

It is my best Asian restaurant experience ever. Try the spicy shrimp for appetizer , shrimp dumpling & spring rolls .for main course the duck , black pepper beef & sweet shrimp walnut . donuts is good.

A long "community table" provides an opportunity to dine with anyone else fortunate enough to snag this center-stage space. Be prepared for a loud and lively atmosphere as the evening wears on. Read more

Everything here is amazing! Sea bass was melt in your mouth delicious and the Shangri La was probably one of the best cocktails I've ever had 😍

Chilean sea bass ...get it even if you don't love sea bass , it's absolutely fabulous. Calamari salad is also fabulous.

Appetizers: Edamame Ravioli and Vietnamese Stuffed Grape Leaves . San Bei Basil Chicken Hot Pot is a great entree! Don't forget to order a side of the wasabi mashed potatoes if you like spicy !!

Buddakan has engineered a contemporary menu with Asian twists that may not be groundbreaking, but it consistently delivers well-prepared, large-portioned dishes nipped with just enough creativity. Read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants .. The food is flavorful and I love the ambiance.. In the evening the lights are dim.. Intimate

Tuna spring roll , Edmami dumplings and their Dumpling donuts are so good.

Pork tenderloin was wonderful and tender, even though cooked medium well . Wasabi mashed potatoes were awesome, as was the Chinese eggplant . Pad Thai was decent. Milk chocolate caramel tart ftw!

best place to go for birthdays...favorite dish is the barbecue pork tenderloin with enormous onion rings ... pissed that the banana dessert is now longer on the menu.. bring it back Stephen Starr!

Edamame dumplings are outstanding Follow with aged beef for a great Night out!

The edamame ravioli/dumplings are things dreams are made of ... Buddakan never disappoints ... Food is always top notch! Try the Donuts for dessert ... super delish!

The original Asian fusion spot. Great bar scene, amazing food. The kimchi fried rice kills me every time!

Was not impressed by joy or blood orange Cosmo cocktails . Joy was too strong with vodka the other so sweet had to send it back. Excellent food though esp edamame dumplings lobster fried rice and donut

bento box dessert : must order for chocolate lovers, otherwise the "dip sum" doughnuts come with two dipping sauces and to-die-for ginger whipped cream .

Seriously one if the best meals I've had. Pad Thai , Charred. Aged Beef , and Dim Sum Donuts were all delightful!

Trendy atmosphere, great service and awesome food!! My favs are the calamari salad , shrimp and lobster spring rolls , chilean sea bass and dim sum donuts for dessert !!!

The Edamame Ravioli and King Crab Dumplings are the way to start your meal here. Let the intriguing ingredients take your palette for an experience agai

The Zen-gria is refreshing. Try the Asian Caesar Salad , Crispy Calamari Salad , or Chicken & Ginger dumplings for apps. The Sweet & Crispy Jump Shrimp are delicious w/a side of wasabi mashed potatoes .

I am in love with the Asian Cesar Salad with spicy cashews ; I hope some day we will get married!

Family style plates, quieter seating upstairs, boisterous dining, save room for the donuts

A huge gold Buddha beams down as you live it up, modern Mandarin-style, in this dark dramatically lit palace . Contemporary Chinese dishes and the house Zen-gria keep the Asian spirit flying.

Get the tuna tartare spring rolls and the beef short rib . The spring roll is fresh and flavorful and the ribs are fall apart tender and savory.

When you walk into Buddakan you will feel immediately transported to somewhere in Southeast Asia , where the Far East and the East Coast mix as seamlessly as sushi and soy.

The edamame dumplings and sea bass are both on point!

Lobster Fried Rice and Eggplant - There is no need to look further down the menu!

Sadly heard rumors that this particular item was taken off the menu , but the "Angry Lobster " (huge lobster chunks, in mashed potatos & mixed vegetables ) was the most satisfyingly delicious meal EVER.

Edamame dumplings are amazing. Do not miss them!

Do not miss out on the edamame dumplings or the donuts !

Love the ambiance, decor, and service. Pricey , but worth it.

Three words: wasabi crusted filet - fantastic (ok, so that was four words...).

Shrimp bao rolls are a must try

Appetizer and an entre is plenty for a couple. The "Dip Sum" Doughnuts are great but its the dipping sauces that make it.

Great fried rice and crispy whole fish

Fabulous just don’t order as much as they recommend!!

Edamame ravioli are awesome!! Sadly there are only four on a plate. Do good!!

Expensive but one of the best restaurants I've ever been too

Whole menu delicious! We always enjoy the chicken ginger dumplings and the asian ceasar.

Lamb chops are amazing. And get wasabi mashed potatoes .

Try the Edamame Dumplings - Loved this dish! Always order it when I go to #Buddakan

As with all Starr restaurants , great decor with subpar food and service. You end up paying for the brand not the experience.

Edamame ravioli & crying chocolate . You can thank me later!

The Sake of the house is excellent!

Udon noodles , grilled lamb chop , Asian broccoli , dumplings , dip sum donuts .

The seabass is really soft and delicious
