• Asian • Old City

Booked 116 times today

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.

I have been here three times and drive half hour to get here because the food and service are continually top notch. The bone in filet on special is the best steak I've ever had. The French onion mashed is decadent. Last night we tried the carbonara pasta as a shared side which was awesome. I order the same steak as my meal every time I've been. I would love to try something different but the steak is too good. the service is also exceptional. All shared food is plated by the Servers, which is a very nice touch that not many places do!
