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.

First off I want to shout out our server Padraig. 11 out of 10 when it comes to service. From the beginning of the meal to the check, he made sure to check on our table and make fun conversation which was welcomed and appreciated. We asked Padraig what the best dishes on the menu were and he reccomeneded the Crispy Brussels (5 Stars) huge serving and we finished it all, Mandoo Veggie Fried (4.5 Stars), Ssam Bossam with Baechoo (4.6 Stars), and finally the Galbi Jjim (5 Stars). Everything was amazing and the timing of expo to table was perfectly executed. Highlights were the Crispy Brussels I also tried the Spicy Soju which I highly recommend if you like very spicy drinks. We went with the Apple Mango Soju which was very delicious, and was also recommended by Padraig. We will be back!
