Buddakan

"One of the best asian restaurants around the locality. I wanted to eat vegetarian so they were able to accommodate me and remove meat and change broths to make it vegetarian. Love the vibe and the servers are prompt and super helpful in recommending the food options. I almost forgot my credit card and they kept it safely and found me at the bar downstairs to return it back to me. The food and cocktails were delicious. There is some wait time but it gets cleared pretty swiftly. Would visit again."

"Wow! What a great experience. We were very casually dressed in what is a premium establishment. Everyone made us feel welcome. Waiter was very attentive and was worried that we had ordered too much. The restaurant setting is amazing. Had the sole and the monkfish. Both outstanding. Dim sum was great, along with the lobster spring rolls. Definitely recommend. Booking essential."

"Overall very positive experience. We did a tasting menu (which I would highly recommend to get a bit of everything). Some things on the tasting menu were very good, but others were so-so. I really enjoyed the edamame dumplings, sizzling short rib, and Alaskan black cod but thought the lobster spring rolls, general tso’s dumplings, and vegetable rice were just okay. Still overall happy with my dining experience (and oh so full… the portions were more than enough), but not all dishes wow’ed me. One other thing to note is the service - SO good. We loved our server!!! She was so nice and so accommodating to our table’s dietary restrictions. She chatted with us and just made us feel so comfortable. Huge props. Also of course the darker vibes in the restaurant with the not-too-loud music was awesome too. Overall would still recommend you try this place!!!"

"Overall a great experience with a great atmosphere. The food is delicious and the staff is great. We really enjoyed our time there. The black pepper beef is excellent! One important thing to note though, we were definitely disappointed with the desserts. Desserts were quite « basic » and didn’t seem to be really thought through, I don’t recommend them whatsoever. They don’t live up to the rest of the restaurant."

"I had an incredible time celebrating my significant other. I’m a vegan and he’s a carnivore but we were both able to enjoy a delicious meal. The appetizers were a perfect portion size to share or enjoy individually. The entrees are delectable and large. The rice was such a large portion size that my significant other and I were able to share one order of rice. The dessert was my favorite part of the entire meal. Normally restaurants don’t have vegan dessert options, especially not high quality dessert options for vegans but Buddakan went above and beyond to happily surprise me with a mango treat. My s/o and I fine dine regularly but this was one of my favorite dining experiences ever. The ambiance is awesome and the service is top tier. I would only suggest adding additional bathroom stalls on the first floor and/or have a sign to notify people of the additional restrooms on the lower level."
