This restaurant remains an icon and treasure among Philadelphia’s dining scene. It is structurally a beautiful place with waterfall walls and the outsized Buddha centerpiece. Every dish I have ever had over the many years is consistently delicious and the service is top notch. We even take out for birthdays and every Valentine’s Day and the food is just the best! I would eat at Buddakan every day if I could. Congratulations to the entire team for the exceptional food, decor and service.

I have been wanting to get to Amada for a while. It was really a nice experience. My wait staff person was really helpful - recommended a great wine and what he liked on the menu. Service overall was excellent. The recommended wine as really enjoyable - just what my palate enjoys. The food was Scrumptious - i loved the rellenos and the patatas. Had a few bites of the basque cheesecake and then had to wrap it for home. I will come back and bring a friend or two.

Our waiter was excellent! Gave valuable suggestions and was very knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot on, and his attention to detail was perfect. The snapper was delicious and the presentation was exquisite. It's easily the best dish I've had in a long time. It is rare to find a place that is this cozy and inviting while still servicing top-tier, perfectly prepared seafood!

    Lamar was an excellent server! We will ask for him next time. It was our first time there and he really explained everything thoroughly and did an amazing job. The ambience is beautiful and the food is amazing. I never thought steak would taste this good!
