• Asian • Old City

Stephen Starr’s Buddakan is a spectacular restaurant featuring exotic flavors of modern Asian cuisine with creativity and drama. Bon Appetit notes, "The mostly white space is striking, with a lit-from-within communal table in the middle of the room, a waterfall & a ten-foot, candle-bedecked Buddha. The religious icon watches over hip customers indulging in pan-Asian cuisine that far surpasses the fare usually found at hot spots like this." Newsweek reports, "Design also serves as a signifier for cuisine. You walk into Buddakan, one of the hottest new restaurants in Philadelphia, past a shimmering waterfall & Japanese river stones & you say to yourself, 'ginger-miso everything' even before you see the magnificent 10-foot Buddha dominating the dining room." Named one of “America's Top 50 Restaurants" by Travel & Leisure and 'Top Restaurant for Fun' by Gourmet, Buddakan has become one of the country's most talked about restaurants.

    This is my favorite restaurant in all of Philadelphia. There is an incredible freshness to every dish, and you leave feeling so good - full but still light. The dishes are seasoned perfectly, and the fish itself shines while all the accompaniments complement the protein beautifully. The cavatelli was the best pasta dish I’ve ever eaten, and I’m actively trying to figure out how I could make the sauce at home. Beautiful 10/10

    Amazing experience. Phenomenal food with a great fried bass and uni hashbrown. Caviar service with hush puppies was fantastic. And I don't know if I can do caviar again without hush puppies. The cremeux dessert is to die for. Top notch service

    We love Amada! Benjamin, our host, provided us with the perfect table and Amir was an excellent server. Jenn, the GM, stopped by to check on us. Upon arrival, servers and cooks in the kitchen all said hello. When ready to leave servers informed others of a guest passing by the kitchen to avoid congestion. It really felt like the guest was the priority here. Food was delicious as always. Really loved the manchego cheese with lavender honey, bacon wrapped dates with almonds and the brussels sprouts. So many other delicious offerings as well! We will be back soon!
