   Hands down a complete restaurant. What do I mean? The service was great, the ambience was delightful, the food was incredible. Went here for my partner and I’s anniversary dinner and she was so happy with everything. Just a spectacular restaurant overall. Portions were unexpectedly larger than anticipated, but that and the quality absolutely nails the value part. Very familiar Asian flavors for the “American palette” (even the Dimsum), but in a much more elevated manner.

   I went back to Buddakan last night, and had an overall great experience. We were seated in the main dining room downstairs which had a really nice ambiance, and our waitress was incredibly helpful and accommodating for one of the members of my party who has several challenging food allergies. They brought over a marked up menu with specifics of what was safe for her to eat, which made navigating the menu feel less stressful. Our server checked in on us several times, brought over extra items, and made sure our water glasses were always full. She gave great recommendations on what to order, was knowledgeable about the menu, and had a warm and friendly demeanor. The char siu pork, mushroom chow fun and crab sticky rice were some of our favorites! The Ginger Scallion Chicken was not something I'd order again. However, the Ube Mochi Donuts were (dangerously!) good. The only part of the experience that felt off was the check-in experience; we had to ask to check winter coats even without anyone else at the front, but outside of that hiccup, all else felt like a very elevated, personalized, and delicious dining experience! Definitely great for a celebration or date night out.

   I hosted a business dinner here. Food and service were fantastic. Ambiance amazing. My only observation/caution is the the tables are very close together and each has a lit, real wax candle on them. I almost set myself on fire a few times getting up from and sitting down at the table. The tables should be separated a bit more so as to avoid a serious burn.

    We loved our experience at Buddakan! Great service and food- even if they don’t put the sticky rice in a crab shell anymore. Would definitely return!
