Price: Expensive
• Asian • Old City

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.

    Pretty good experience. Only issue is that I had a 7pm reservation and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table to be available. The wait area is rather small and uncomfortable for guest especially for women in heels. Our waiter Rolando was so sweet and funny we wished we could have him at every restaurant. Even left him a little extra gratuity even thought it’s included in the bill already. Food was good definitely going back to try more dishes.

    Great food and service. Music was a bit loud for our liking as it was hard to converse at times and there didn’t seem to be much attention to a dress code from what I recall there being last time. We still had a great visit celebrating our anniversary. We will return, always a great place to dine in the city.
