• Asian • Old City
Booked 105 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.

    Everything was amazinggggggg! The king crab & shrimp Mac and cheese was perfection! The mash potatoes & broccoli was excellent, my entree was phenomenal I got a filet mignon butterflied and it was cooked to perfection! My only complaint was that their most popular item that I was so excited to try was overly salty, the chicken batter fried lobster was so salty I was flabbergasted it was crazy! But beside that everything was amazing service food 10/10!

    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.

    We were celebrating a bday. When they called to confirm, I asked for a specific dessert to be delivered along with dessert menus, which they did. It was our first visit and a much fancier restaurant than where we usually go, but they treated us so well and made us feel welcome and the food was amazing!

    Koto is a hidden, unassuming gem just south of Chinatown. We were running too late to make our Valentine's Day reservation at another sushi establishment so need a last-minute alternative. We were able to get a reservation 20 minutes ahead of time at Koto. The food and service were outstanding even while they were packed with a holiday crowd. Best sushi we've had in a long time and competitive with much more expensive spots..
