The real question is what isn't good here? You get what you pay for and this restaurant is worth every single penny. Try the lamb, the BBQ pork, pad thai, crabsticky rice and calamari salad.
Incredible place. Great for dates. You HAVE to get the kimchifried rice and dumpling sampler. The duck breast was also very good. Pretty easy to get a reservation. Atmosphere and service is 10/10.
Secret off-menu item: order the Red DragonTofu! Even if you aren't vegetarian or vegan (and it is both), you'll love the deep fried tempura, the spicyred dragon sauce and fresh crisp wok veggies.
A long "community table" provides an opportunity to dine with anyone else fortunate enough to snag this center-stage space. Be prepared for a loud and lively atmosphere as the evening wears on. Read more
I expected this to be a bit over-hyped, but the food was really good. Service was solid, and the vibe in the place was great. I would definitely go again. The tomato salad was superb as an opener.
It is my best Asian restaurant experience ever. Try the spicy shrimp for appetizer, shrimp dumpling& spring rolls.for main course the duck, black pepper beef & sweet shrimpwalnut. donuts is good.

best place to go for birthdays...favorite dish is the barbecue pork tenderloin with enormous onion rings... pissed that the banana dessert is now longer on the menu.. bring it back Stephen Starr!
Pork tenderloin was wonderful and tender, even though cooked medium well. Wasabimashed potatoes were awesome, as was the Chinese eggplant. Pad Thai was decent. Milk chocolatecarameltart ftw!
The edamame ravioli/dumplings are things dreams are made of ... Buddakan never disappoints ... Food is always top notch! Try the Donuts for dessert ... super delish!
Appetizers: Edamame Ravioli and Vietnamese Stuffed Grape Leaves. San Bei Basil ChickenHot Pot is a great entree! Don't forget to order a side of the wasabimashed potatoes if you like spicy!!
Was not impressed by joy or blood orangeCosmococktails. Joy was too strong with vodka the other so sweet had to send it back. Excellent food though esp edamame dumplingslobsterfried rice and donut
The Zen-gria is refreshing. Try the Asian Caesar Salad, Crispy Calamari Salad, or Chicken & Ginger dumplings for apps. The Sweet & Crispy Jump Shrimp are delicious w/a side of wasabimashed potatoes.

Sadly heard rumors that this particular item was taken off the menu, but the "Angry Lobster" (huge lobster chunks, in mashed potatos & mixed vegetables) was the most satisfyingly delicious meal EVER.
