Budonoki offers an interesting menu with dishes that stand out for their unique flavors and combinations. The staff is attentive and genuinely interested in the customer's experience. While some dishes may benefit from a bit more seasoning or balance, the food is generally described as "clean" and "good." The atmosphere is energetic and fun, making it an excellent choice for a date night or special occasion. The restaurant features a mix of Asian cuisine with Thai influences, taking diners on a journey through various flavors. Chef Bell and the team focus on quality and refinement, with dishes like the miso butter sweet potato and the aburi salmon being particularly praised. The sweet potato has been noted as something many have never tasted before, highlighting the restaurant's unique offerings. Street parking is fairly easy to find, and the vibe, including the playlist, adds to the enjoyable experience. The service is friendly and attentive, with servers who are willing to recommend the best items on the menu. Budonoki is a unique dining spot worth visiting, especially for those who enjoy sharing small bites with friends.
