Went there while in Philly on business The ambience, is
Went there while in Philly on business The ambience, is dark and gives a club vibe, place is usually packed even on weekdays we had to make a reservation for dinner. Tables are placed to close, they have two bars spread out into two floors. Bar seating is first come first served but really difficult to find one. The service is very slow, the main course came after 20 minutes after we finished eating appetizers. Place is too loud to have a conversation, as the next table is too close to you there is no privacy. Food is good, but the table has no condiments or they do bring chili sauce or any sauce with the food. Tried the edamame dumplings they would have tasted better if they have a chili oil or chili paste that is usually available when eating dumplings at other places. I tried the Korean beef fried rice, the taste is very good but the kimchi had a weird smell, I know usually kimchi smells weird but this is not that weird. Quantity is good, the fried egg is made perfectly. I had to give it lower stars for the close tables, loud environment, and providing food without condiments on the table, and the price.

The service was great! The food was great as well. Very nice restaurant with lots of things to look at. We had an issue this night and management took no time to handle the issue and take care of us. I would return off just that because the customer service was A1! The lamb chops were my favorite. I did not get to try the lobster fried rice but someone in my party did and they loved it! The donuts were definitely a hit!

Food was definitely good but I was left a little disappointed. I expected more for the price and upscale setting. Flavors were just average, I was hoping to be more impressed. Service was phenomenal though. Staff were super attentive and helpful with the menu.

First of all, shout-out to the valet guy up front for making sure we parked behind the pole up front (we were just slightly past the pole), because apparently the PPA lady does come by and check, and she's real generous with the tickets. Helpful tips: 1. Dress up. I'd recommend cocktail attire, smart casual at minimum. If you're wearing heels, I'd definitely recommend bringing a pair of comfy shoes to slip into if and when your feet hurt. Heels for the pic, comfy shoes for the walk. 2. The food here is served family-style. Dishes are placed in the middle and meant to be served amongst your party. 3. The noise level is moderate-loud. The bar might be a better spot if you're trying to have a conversation. Anyways, to the meat of the review... For a party of 6, we ordered: Appetizers 2 orders of shrimp bao buns (4/5 stars) 2 orders of pork belly baos (3/5 stars) 1 order of fire roasted edamame (5/5 stars) 3 orders of sashimi (3/5 stars) 2 orders of dim sum samplers (2/5 stars) 1 order of tea smoked spare ribs (4/5 stars) Entrees: 2 orders of lobster fried rice (2/5 stars) 1 order of pan-seared sea bass (3/5 stars) 1 order of crispy whole fish (4/5 stars) 1 order of grilled lamb chops (5/5 stars) 1 order of curried cauliflower (4/5 stars) + drinks (I got the Rising Sun--non-alcoholic--and it was really good. 5/5) We ordered two or three orders of our appetizers so we could place a dish on either side of our table. I'd say this was the perfect amount of food for us. We did have some extra fried rice left over that we took home. Could definitely have ordered one less lobster fried rice if we wanted. Overall Review: This place is good. The flavor profiles for some of the dishes were quite radical. I've never had edamame dressed the way that they served it. It was zesty, fiery, and salty in all the right ways. I felt similarly about the cauliflower. I also enjoyed the shrimp baos, but it reminded me a lot of the shrimp from the walnut shrimp dishes at your classic Chinese restaurant (you'd get more there for the same price). The one thing I was quite let down by was the lobster fried rice. It was the one dish I was really looking forward to on the menu, but it just didn't hit. I was expecting to be knocked off my feet by flavor, like the appetizers, but it fell flat. Not sure if the crab fried rice is similar, but I'd avoid the fried rice altogether. Most of the other entrees were quite good. Overall, a pleasant dinner experience, and a great choice if you have something to celebrate, or are feeling fancy. :)

Took a quick getaway to this NY fave located in Philadelphia. Just like their NY counterpart it was a hot spot for upscale Asian fusion dishes. Customer service was top tier and the food left us too stuffed to walk! A must visit everytime we go to Philly!

Our favorite dumpling sampler and Chinese eggplant. Try the foxhole Sake!

Be the first to ReplyFavorite restaurant of all time.
Great food and service! If you go here you definitely need to try the edamame dumplings. They remain on my list of must-gets every time I go here. The atmosphere is great for a nice family dinner or celebration. Nothing bad to say about this place.
Be the first to ReplyI've been here a couple of times and have enjoyed coming
I've been here a couple of times and have enjoyed coming with a group. The place is gorgeous and the drinks are superb. As for the food... The old hits could have been executed better. Edamame dumplings were room temperature and slightly chilled in the middle. Tuna pizza was an interesting idea but I'm not sure it was executed to my liking. Crispy rice pancake was dense and chewy. Lacked the crispness you'd expect but the tuna on top was fine. General Tso's dumpling was sweet and lackluster but did come out piping hot. Pad Thai was fine and forgettable at this level of dining. Miso black cod was overcooked but had the taste I remember.

Atmosphere was quite different than I expected! Fun group and I was definitely underdressed :) Don't quite remember everything but Prix Fixe was delicious but not the most food. The entrees were the highlight for sure.
Be the first to ReplyWas dying to come to Buddakan for my birthday this year.
We had a reservation and had to wait 20 minutes for our table. Other than that service was great. Our server was very attentive and lovely. The food was very disappointing though. Everything was either super salty or bland. We had the edamame dumplings and it was super over cooked and it fell apart on my chopsticks because it was so over cooked and was mush. It was not good. The shrimp dumpling had a weird texture and the flavor wasn't great. Maybe growing up with Asian cuisine my expectations are a little high but for the price point it's not worth it. The restaurant is gorgeous and upscale for sure just hoped the food would also match the ambiance.
