Buddakan offers an enjoyable and memorable dining experience. Guests are warmly greeted and well-attended to by the knowledgeable staff, who ensure a smooth and well-paced service. The menu features a variety of delectable dishes, such as the pork belly bao buns, shrimp dumplings, and the whole Peking duck, which are praised for their flavors and presentation. The edamame dumplings are particularly noted as amazing and eye-opening. While the seared beef tenderloin is commended for its perfect cooking, some guests found the cashew chicken to be a letdown, as it was more like chicken with broccoli. Many reviews highlight the delicious food, with dishes like lobster fried rice and spicy rock shrimp bao buns standing out. The restaurant’s Asian-inspired atmosphere and dim lighting create a cozy and intimate ambiance, perfect for celebrations. Service is often described as outstanding, with staff being accommodating and attentive, even when the restaurant is busy. Guests appreciate the fresh ingredients and the thoughtful touches, such as celebrating birthdays with cake and sparklers. Overall, Buddakan provides a positive experience, making diners feel welcomed, valued, and satisfied.
