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.

The food is creative and delicious. The service is very good but make sure to book a reservation way in advance. This is clearly one of the better dining experiences you'll find in Philadelphia

great food, modern decor. We ate the whole fish with black bean sauce and aged steak for entrees. Highly recommend both. I love this place.

Food is good, not great. Very stylish and hip and they every effort to make it so but not much better than any good thai restaurant. Good place to see the young the sex in the city crowd.
