• Asian • Old City
Booked 107 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.

    Can’t express enough how amazing this restaurant is. I called in advance to set up a birthday dinner for my dad and the entire staff went out of their way to ensure it was the most special night. Above and beyond. The food is also incredible. We cleared our plates and will definitely coming back. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

    One word…. PERFECTION! Everything about the evening was outstanding. From being greeted by the friendly hostesses, to my amazing waitress, Kristen, who was extremely friendly and helpful when choosing my meal. The tuna Crudo was so fresh and flavorful with so many different ingredients. The salmon was cooked to perfection with wonderful compliments on the dish. The combination of flavors throughout the entire meal was fantastic!! Then there is the design of the restaurant which makes you feel like you’ve been transported into an English garden house. Even though the restaurant was packed, the noise level was totally fine! I cannot say enough good things about my entire experience. It is a MUST GO TO! A+++

    The Dandelion has been a go-to for my sibling and I for years. With such a cozy and whimsical atmosphere and a top notch staff, this is exactly how I imagine dining at the Mad Hatter’s tea party would feel like. A magical experience for anyone who’s still a child at heart.
