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.

Always a wonderful experience at Buddakan. Even on a Wednesday night, the place was packed. The food is still amazing and the service is always impeccable. After all these years it’s still one of my favorite restaurants.

It is really nice here. Elevated Italian food is the style. The drinks and food is good, a little pricey on some of the appetizers, but all together really good. The window booths are also extremely small so that lack of spacing can be a bit uncomfortable. But all together really nice and would definitely come back.

They claim to have the best sushi in Philadelphia and, based on rather limited experience (perhaps a dozen kid the seeming hundreds), they very well may be right. Not to be missed. V nice service, too.
