I can’t even lie everything was on point. The manager checked in on us several times. The waiter went above & beyond. & The food was delicious. What else can I ask for? Loved the Char Grilled Aged Beef & Mushroom potstickers. The General Tso dumplings were to die for. Trio of Sorbet with all coconut highly recommended… Sparks will fly. It was a great night with a nice ambience.

Always wanted to check out Buddakan, but was rarely in Old City where it’s located, however, I happened to be in the area and thought I’d get a drink, for I already had dinner. The atmosphere was really cool, I sat at the bar, the lights are dim, but it works, the bartenders were really nice and attentive, I thought I’d try out a few appetizers while I was there, the bartender, Sophia, was really helpful in explaining the whole “Pan Asian ” vibe as far as the menu, I ordered 3 appetizers, though unfortunately, I can’t remember the exact names, I don’t really consider myself a “foodie”, but the presentation was beautiful, and I must admit, it was very good, a bit expensive, but that’s probably subjective, but it was more than worth it, I would definitely recommend Buddakan, and I’ll certainly be sure to return

First time here for a business dinner. This place has a great variety of vegan vegetarian menu on its course, to choose from. Spicy edamames, curried cauliflower, stuffed edamame dumplings, cashew tofu, spicy bao buns, vegan salad etc were amazing choices!!

Dinner was good. It was prepared and presented very well. Our waiter Tristan was outstanding. Hands down, top 5 best Waiter I’ve ever had. Now that love seat by the hostesses desk needs to be thrown out immediately. Overall, it’s a nice spot. I would definitely return.

Came here on a business dinner. The dirty martini I had before dinner was delicious, but all of their signature cocktails looked very good, too. The place was a little loud but the food made up for it. We all ended up getting the tasting menu which you share around family style. The steak was amazing and the aged beef was out of this world. I’d say the star of the show was the dumplings in the first course that I ate so quickly I didn’t get a picture of. The curried cauliflower was fantastic. Each one of the desserts was incredible.

The service and the food here are excellent! Your food is prepared just as you want it and it comes out in a good amount of time. My waiter was awesome! He made sure that I was satisfied with my meal. Definitely a place to go for a special occasion or if you just are hungry and want some good food.

OMG, Whattt a TOTAL experience!!! I’ve been to classy restaurants and received top-notch service before, but this just blew them out of the water and raised the bar to a new level. They had so so many variety of choices for amazing vegetarian food.

We did the 70$ tasting menu for 6. Food and service was good…. Only complaint would be that the speed of the food coming out made the dinner feel rushed. I realize there’s a lot of food, and it must come out in a timely fashion, however, if they slowed down the meal just adding maybe 15-20 more minutes I feel like it would be more enjoyable and less rushed. . .
