Buddha-Bar Restaurant New York Reviews from The Last Year
This was my second time at Buddha Bar.
This time there was a DJ. Music was great but it was a bit loud at dinner. I ate less sushi this time and tried different items. I loved the tuna tartare with caviar and avocado. I would definitely get that again. The red snapper was also a fave. I wasn't crazy about the salmon crispy rice. I enjoyed both the pearl and aperitivo sour drinks. The ambiance is really nice! Perfect for any celebration. If you're taking someone out on a date, request the table right in front of the Buddha!
Wow, what an experience!
Wow. A hidden gem behind an unassuming facade. A beautiful fine dining room. Spacious, atmospheric, and a brilliant house DJ playing the perfect blend of chilled dance music. A 3m Buddha provides a backdrop for a subtle light show adding drama to the dining experience. My 20-year old grown up children absolutely loved the experience, as did I. My partner enjoyed it too but found the chilled dance music a bit too much for her personal taste. The menus, food and wine were extensive, and cocktails unique. Family serving caused a few problems with certain elements coming out last Eg. Noodles came out first and were cold by the time a couple of main items arrived, and the charred greens arrived last when everyone had finished the other items! However, the environment and atmosphere were excellent.
We were a party of four.
We all ordered the prix fixe, A deal for $60 a person. We additionally ordered the duck dumplings and the octopus. The octopus was juicy , fresh and tasty. The dumplings were moist and delicious. The hamati crispy rice was a novelty we all enjoyed. The mushroom fried rice was moist and c implemented the rest of the meal. Two of us had the state, which was perfectly cooked. The entire meal was delicious. I recommend the lychee martini and a real Moscow mule. Our waiter, Kenji, was very attentive and always there. He made very good recommendations. The huge color changing Buddha is a great photo op. Everyone was taking photos there. The huge space made for an ideal ambience. We will return.
Such a classy restaurant in the city.
We were there on the Valentine's night and it was so beautifully decorated. A reservation is needed in advance. The interiors were so well decorated and there is this huge Buddha statue at the centre which is well lighted and brings charm and peace to this place. The services were excellent and our menu did not have much options for vegetarians. However, our waitress made sure to replace it for us which was great. And the food was delicious too
This is a such a great restaurant! At first I was hesitant
This is a such a great restaurant! At first I was hesitant to go as I feel like it had become THE spot and it just felt like it would have been an overcrowded over rated experience. But I was wrong! We had an amazing time with great service and great food. Atmosphere: This really is a beautiful restaurant. They have these gorgeous stairs you come down into the restaurant and the buddha is on those stairs. They have LED lights that are constantly changing the color and designs on the statue but done in such a subtle way that it doesn't hurt your eyes. The decor here is classy and elegant and feels very chic. Food: The food was flavorful and well presented. They have a separate menu for vegetarians/vegans. Side note, it hasn't been updated as frequently as their general menu so there are a few more veggie dishes that may not be on this menu. I'd ask for a general menu too just in case. We really enjoyed all the food we got there: cauliflower bao buns, maitake bao buns, vegetable rice, crispy noodles, and mapo tofu. Our favorite was the maitake bao buns and the mapo tofu We split these items among three people and it was enough, although I will say maybe we needed one more thing. We also got the tiramisu for dessert and it was perfect, not super sweet or with overwhelming amounts of coffee flavor. Drinks: We got 2 cocktails and both were delicious and strong. They were presented in a pretty manner and felt like true mixology cocktails opposed to something generic. Because we booked our reservation through our "Select" membership, we got both our drinks for free! A great plus, since a cocktail there cost about $20. If you don't have Select but you dine out a lot, I'd consider signing up. You can use this link and you'll get $100 when you sign up: https://www.meetselect.com/referral/meets-44825351 Service: Service here was so pleasant and unlike so many high end NYC restaurant. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating as opposed to other high end places that can behave a bit snobby. Our water glasses were always filled and food came out fairly quickly. We also didn't feel rushed. This was a great experience and I highly recommend others check out Buddha Bar

Service was not as proficient as I would think, Was sort of a long wait just to get the menu. The food was decent but you're definitely paying for the location and aesthetic . I like the idea and interior but I was quite disappointed
Excellent food even thought portions were small , get
Excellent food even thought portions were small , get drinks and ambiance. Waiters were great and very patient. We were the first ones there
This review is only for the bar area.
We had eaten in the area and wanted a place to relax. They had a DJ by the bar. It was club music with no words. The DJ did a great job. The bartender knew how to do her job. My Polynesian was delicious and strong. I thought it was well worth its price. My Husband said his old fashion was properly made. It was a great night. I would come back just to relax in this bar area.
My boyfriend and I came here for Valentine's Day dinner.
The vibes seemed really nice at first. Things got worse as the evening went on. The entire time we were disturbed at how unacceptable the service was. It took TWO HOURS for the food to come out on a price fixed menu that had no customizations. In total we were there for well over 3 hours..... and there was not one apology..... totally unprofessional and disappointing. Would never recommend to anyone.
Will be visiting again
Buddha Bar is must visit. Very nice atmosphere and great food! My favorites are sushi and sashimi, very fresh and delicious. Bao ban with crispy crab is also very nice. If you looking for something new interesting to try, recommend getting crispy noodles. Just wish there would be better selection of desserts, definitely missing on this part.
I loved the atmosphere, food, and amazing drinks! The staff
I loved the atmosphere, food, and amazing drinks! The staff were super friendly and attentive. I wish the music wasn't as loud. Felt a little rowdy because of it. I am obsessed with the Serenity Cocktail drink!!! Vodka, matcha and lychee pure!!! All my favorite things in one drink! The sashimi platter is also amazing. I will be back for sashimi platter, serenity, and the chicken dish again! The brussels sprouts were undercooked... could've been more roasted and cooked. But overall, a great experience!!!
Tried the dinner here during restaurant week.
. service was really slow even when it was Sunday and wasn't at capacity, our starters arrived really late after 25 minutes.. after multiple attempts to grab the attention of server, and it was ready as it was just yellowtail jalapeño which aint much of preparation.. so it came instantly when i asked for it, so just because of negligence we had to wait. Avocado crispy rice was another starter, really small portion and bland in flavor. Portion sizes are really small for the price even less than Michelin star restaurants I have been to.. not worth the money in my opinion. I was not full even after a 3 course menu they offered during restaurant week. Not even once did anyone check to refill water or asked if we liked the food. Their sesame chocolate bar dessert was really good though. I found it really overpriced for the flavors +quantity of food they serve. It was one and done experience Ambience was really good though but there are places in NYC with better food quality and similar ambience.
Unforgetable party
Gloria Gaynor had our Tribeca Film Festival after show party at this venue. All I can say is everything was incredible! From the bar service to the DJ to the delicious food. Our party was hosted in the upstairs bar area. Franck Maucort the General Manager is one of the best event organizers I have ever worked with. Thank you Franck and incredible staff at the Budda bar. You made our party a memorable one.

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.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
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.
