exceptional
definitely one of my top favorite restaurants, the decor here is incredible. The vibe of Buddakan is great. The food doesn't disappoint, the rock shrimp was my favorite.

The best there is!
Being a chef for over 10 years myself, this cuisine and city is very highly regarded by me. Buddakan tops the rest and comes out with a solid 5!

Love those edamame dumplings!
The food was amazing here -- I still keep dreaming of edamame dumplings!

It's just ok...
This place looks club-like trendy, but maybe the fake bookshelf decor on the lower level captures the over all a bit average experience. The service is uninspired and obviously keen on clearing away the food, the food is of decent quality but given its price rather boring and the audience is a bit too wannabe. The drinks are good, not enough to come back though.

Outstanding!
My favorite restaurant in New York. The edamame dumplings are the most delicious food I have ever eaten!!! Must try!

Extra class restaurant
At Buddakan our family of 5 including a 10 year-old had the most outstanding dinner we had in years. While it isn't cheap, we feel that we got the best for the buck. I recommend this place without any reservations !

Not recommended
They claim that their food is "family style." Total lie My entree was delivered 15 minutes after everyone else's and they said it was because it's "family style". Family Style is not 3 lamb chops, 1 little piece of cod, a medium bowl of lobster chow fun, nor is 7 little pieces of pork. They were very polite, but nevertheless the "family style" excuse is ridiculous! They claimed the pork takes longer to cook - so why didn't start cooking that before the other 3 entrees? 15 minutes is a long time to watch other people eat. The lamb chops were dry, the fish was bland and the Crispy Pork was chewy and soggy. The drinks are also weak. They claim that they make "measured" cocktails. When will restaurants just admit that they are ripping you off blindly. I don't mind paying a lot for good quailty, but they are just stingy.
