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.

Tabachoy is a Tagalog nickname given to a friend or family member; it means chubby or fatty. We know it sounds mean, but Filipinos give each other inappropriately appropriate nicknames all the time. Your baby brother’s got some neck rolls? Tabachoy. Auntie’s six months pregnant? Tabachoy. Or your dad’s got a six pack, but just finished his third piece of bibingka? Tabachoy!We cook the food that got us made fun of in elementary school, when we opened our country crock “Tupperware” - the food that reminds us of home. We don't strive to make a better adobo than your mothers, but we do want to share ours with you.

    Food was incredible! Edamame dumplings were delicate, delicious - really an incredible flavor. The sea bass and black cod were both show stoppers. Amazing!

    Vetri Cucina was an experience truly extraordinary on every level. The atmosphere was extremely friendly and welcoming. The wait staff was so professional and especially knowledgeable on every aspect of the superbly crafted menu. No question was left unanswered. We were served in a timely manner by pleasant staff that described the dishes brilliantly. The entire meal was one will never forget. Thank you for a wonderful anniversary dinner.

    Absolutely AMAZING! As someone who bought their sausage from Fiorella’s I am blown away by how much of the original charm they kept. This was our 2nd visit and it did not disappoint. First visit was outside, tonight we were indoors. So happy I requested indoors. While enjoying dinner I really got a chance to look around and reminisce about old Fiorella Sausage and my visits as a young girl and a married woman. Oh and those monkfish arancini… delish. The rigatoni with Fiorella sausage and the ricotta gnocchi to die for. Everything was wonderful. Can not wait to go back.

    River Twice can be summed up by one word…Exceptional. From exceptional ambiance and atmosphere, to exceptional food and exceptional service. They go beyond attention to detail, they pay attention to EVERY detail, to ensure that you and your dining party have the most seamless and memorable dinner of your life. The food was exquisite, dare I say edible works of art filled with vibrant flavours and thoughtful components. I was left astonished as bite after bite culinary magic danced across my tongue engaging my pallet and my soul. Chef Randy has really created something magical, a culinary oasis on an otherwise humble street corner. Do your self a favour and come experience the gastronomic wanderlust that is River Twice.
