Buddakan New York Reviews from The Last Year
Food is incredible.
Got the dim sum special to share, sausage fried rice and filet. I've tried an Old-fashioned and Martini, both of which were on point. Ambiance is really cool. It's a huge, dimly lit, Asian temple vibe. The bar area is essentially a dark lounge with comfortable seating and high ceilings. Prices are pretty reasonable for a place like this tbh. Has become one of my favorites in NYC

I've been coming to Buddakan for quite some time now, The first 5-6 times I loved it amazing ambience. Then, the last 2 times the food quality and service was the worst i've had. Food was under cooked and the steak I ordered gave me some of the most extreme food poisoning i've had. I hope you guys can improve soon.
Stylish!
We had our office party with more than twenty people attending. The service and ambiance were impeccable! Attentive, efficient and friendly staff ensured a smooth dining experience. We were able to get some vegetarian options as well with customization. Reserve ahead of time. Overall, a great spot and check them out when you are in NY.
Interesting atmosphere in NY
Impressive atmosphere, original architecture. Pleasant food, good quality, kind service. Fresh rice and lobster salad. We asked for, to add it a bit, olive oil which tested good. All was elegant. Dumplings could have been more tasty but they were delicate and fresh. Moderately, not so expensive.
Excellent night
Excellent food and atmosphere. Reminded me of Hakkasan in London. The dumplings were very good. Very lively and nice setting.
Best dumplings in NY
Booked the restaurant while on a short 3 day trip to NY. The restaurant lives up to its reputation. We had a few dumplings and reodred the platter. The dumplings are very delicious, we didn't really require any sauce to go with them. Each mouthful was tasty on its own, without any condiments. We loved the food so much that we visited again next day - lucky to get a last minute table.
Went for a girlfriend of mine's birthday and the atmosphere
Went for a girlfriend of mine's birthday and the atmosphere is fabulous. It's forgiving if you wear a revealing outfit, or get an accidental smudge on pants and be fine because it is so very dark. Now the food: everything was 10/10. The lamb chops, peppered steak, oxtail dumplings, Chinese sausage fried rice, and their version of bang-bang shrimp was all prepared and seasoned perfectly. We ordered an array of dishes to share and you should too if you visit: Do not rob yourself of only trying 1-2 items here. I will add that getting the kimchi rice was a nice break from the meat and oily dishes we got; it was light and the kimchi still had a nice bite to it. Overall, fantastic vibes, service was great and I can say the food will have me coming back for a random night of amazing food. By the way, with all that we ordered (split 4 ways, 1 cocktail each and gratuity included) our bill was 90/person.
Delicious
The Asian restaurant impressed with its delicious food, cozy ambiance, and attentive service. Robin, our server, was friendly and efficient, while manager Dragana ensured a smooth dining experience. Overall, a great spot for satisfying Asian cuisine.

Fun experience!
Super fun place, with a Miami-esque visual vibe. Food and drinks are almost immaterial, as the site itself is so cool (VERY dark, though!) and yet both were also delicious - cocktail list is diverse and interesting, and the food good, too. We had a large crowd, so were able to try a variety of things, and nothing disappointed! Service was attentive without being annoying - a great night!

I loved the look and feel of this restaurant- Buddakan is a high end Asian restaurant in Chelsea. We had reservations but were running late - staff was really helpful in pushing out our reservation and accomodating us later. We got seated in one of their inner dining rooms but i loved their main area - dark, high celings with lovely decor. We started with cocktails - Blush, Jade, and. dragon fruit cocktail. I liked the Blush (lychee based), skip the Cucumber based one - was not good. For appetizers and mains, we for the edamame dumplings, the mapo tofu, the eggplant tofu, and the crispy tofu. The mapo tofu was great - not too spicy, others on the table thought it could use more flavor/have more of a sichuan taste and I felt the same but overall it was good. The crispy tofu was a table favorite- crisp and sweet - an interesting combo. The eggplant tofu was decent - the pineapple and cashews that were added made it unique. For dessert, we got the matcha semifreddo - this had a clementine sorbet on top with blondie crumbles - really delicious dessert with a gorgeous presentation. The dessert was the highlight for sure. Would come back for drinks and dessert - entrees were decent if you arent craving authentic Asian food. Great ambiance - so good place for drinks
Great ambiance, food and drinks were good but I can't say
Great ambiance, food and drinks were good but I can't say it was mind blowing. Service was on the slower side the night we went. Would recommend for a nice night out.
This place is so good I ate the crab fried rice and the dim
This place is so good I ate the crab fried rice and the dim sum tasting super yummy. Service was amazing Ambiance was really relaxing and quiet. My favorite was actually the the mocktail drinks ughhhhh I want more
Amazing service! We got sat almost right away upon arrival.
Our server Alex was very attentive and was kind enough to go over the menu since it was my first time and one of the managers came by to check on us as well to make sure everything was going smoothly. The Black Cod was absolutely fantastic! Will definitely be coming back here
I came here on Valentine's Day with 2 friends.
The food and service was good.. but the reason for the one star is because of the secret charge. The bill was over $400, we split it 3 ways. I signed off for $165 for my share plus tip. Checking my bank statement, I see they charged me $191. This is not okay Buddakan! Please return the money that is not due to you.
I've dined at Buddakan three times in the past two years,
I've dined at Buddakan three times in the past two years, but my first two times were for work events. I've been seated at the iconic long table, a smaller table to the side of the long table, and this time in another room to the left of the stairs. The elegant and mysterious vibe of the restaurant has remained consistent. Not one thing I've had at this restaurant has disappointed either, although some dishes were more standout than others. The dim sum tasting is a unique experience, since as a dim sum lover, I am only used to traditional dim sum flavors. The dim sum served here has its own twist on the original dim sum, and it's fun trying each of the dim sum here one-by-one with the rest of your party. I wouldn't say anything is particularly standout for me from this order, besides the shrimp toast because I generally love shrimp dim sum. One thing I would like to note is that the edamame dumplings taste way better after dipping it in the soy sauce. Oh, the Kung Pao Monkfish and the Dungeoness Crab Sticky Rice. I didn't order the Lobster Fried Rice this time around so I could try the crab sticky rice, and it did not disappoint. All three dishes: the fish, sticky rice, and fried rice live in my head now. If you love fried fish, you'll love the monkfish. It's crispy, and the flavor is just chef's kiss. The monkfish and crab sticky rice pair really well together too, since both are seafood dishes. I usually don't eat crab (not my preference for meat), but I loved this dish and even the crab part of it. The flavor went so well paired with the XO sauce. I also added an additional comment about an inside joke anniversary on our OpenTable reservation (the Sunday before Valentine's Day), and the staff did not disappoint. (They also added candles and a little anniversary chocolate on our dessert that we ordered.) The waiter was friendly, funny, and helpful with dish recommendations.
Great atmosphere
What a beautiful, trendy place to go for a delicious dinner . The fusion food excellent. Very friendly staff. Great atmosphere

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
