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.

    A lovely experience from start to finish. A magical ambience and attentive and knowledgeable staff who went out of their way to provide gluten free options for me. They also provided special touches for my husband’s birthday. The food was phenomenal. Cannot wait to go back!

    We were greeted upon our arrival by the host staff and were seated immediately despite the fact that we were 30 minutes early for our reservation. While a restaurant may not always be able to accommodate this, it was certainly appreciated. Our waitress Mary Kate promptly received us at the table. She was friendly, engaging, and delivered an excellent experience. The sommelier Robert did a wonderful job interacting with our table and helping us enjoy our wine selection. There were serval other staff members involved in serving our food and clearing our table throughout the meal who were also wonderful and attentive. In addition, a manager checked on our table to ensure we were enjoying our meal (which we were thanks to the incredible team at Parc!) The food was delicious! We enjoyed appetizers, entrees, and desserts… all of our orders were prepared perfectly! (There was also a member of our party with significant dietary restrictions, which the staff went above and beyond to accommodate) I was hosting this meal for work colleagues from out of town and they raved about the experience. I ensured them we will be back in the spring when they can open the windows and take in the lovely open air outdoor experience Parc offers during the warmer months of year. They’re already looking at dates for our next meeting!

    Started with Burrata which had the most flavorful salad accompanying it. Followed up with broccoli and cheese omelette with potatoes. Omelette was beautifully done in a French omelette fashion and potatoes crispy and fluffy. Service was impeccable
