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.

Met my mom and brother at 6:30 for dinner on a Tuesday the week before Thanksgiving. Even though it was a weeknight I highly recommend having a reservation and get there early because parking takes a while. we had a really great server who was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some tips. we ended up, ordering the spring rolls and steamed dumplings as an appetizer. and shrimp pad, Thai spicy chicken, stone pot and a sweet beef stone pot as our entrées. we were too full to get dessert. This is my fifth visit to Kooma in the last couple of years and it never disappoints.

We thoroughly enjoyed our burger and spicy pork tacos. We usually have the fried chicken and/or the ramen, but decided to try something different. We weren’t disappointed.
