Pros: Fantastic food, decor, service, location, etc., etc.
Cons: Why is my bank account suddenly so low?
Stephen Starr is the wunderkind of the Philadelphia restaurant scene. In the last five or so years, he has opened about ten restaurants in the Philadelphia area, almost all of which have done extremely well. Buddakan, however, is the jewel in ...

Pros: Food and Atmosphere
Cons: Noise and Impatient Waiters
On Saturday morning I woke up, worked on my web site, took a shower and had an argument with my wife. Leaving the house aggravated, I went to the movie Gladiator (four star – recommend to a friend) and Alyson went to the office for some paperwork catch...

Pros: yummy yummy yummy
Cons: none, really. restaurant is not very big, so make reservations!
Buddakan is the brightest jewel in Philly restauranteur Stephen Starr's crown of restaurants. Its location speaks to its style--Olde City is both steeped in history as well as fast becoming the hippest place in Philadelphia to be. Buddakan...

Pros: Asian fusion cuisine
Cons: expensive, overcrowded, long wait
I feel like I have to write this review to tell people that Buddakan is not all that it is pumped up to be. Yes it is pricey and posh, and if that is what you are looking for to impress your date then go for it.
But when it comes down to it,...

Pros: Amazing food, the in place to be
Cons: Expensive, a long wait to get a table
This restaurant could be summed up in one word. Wow. This is one of Philly's finest (I have not been to Le Bec Fin). This is definitely Steven Starr's best (though I have yet to go to Pod).
The atmosphere is dark, you walk in and know you're...

Pros: Menu selection, service
Cons: Minor con on the decor and acoustics
When I received the lunch invitation to Buddakan I did my homework and came to the conclusion that the place was overly noisy, the staff rude and the look cluttered. I was wrong on two counts.
Buddakan was simply one of the best lunchtime...

Pros: food, drinks, decor
Cons: price
This trendy bar/restaurant located on Chestnut in Historic Old City is a must visit for every Philadelphian. The food, drinks, and decor are excellent. Sit at the lit Monk's table if you want to be seen, or simply enjoy drinks and dessert at the...

Pros: Moderately priced, good food, great atmosphere
Cons: Parking
We went to Buddakan a few weeks ago for our cousins club dinner. My siblings and cousins and spouses all get together once a quarter to catch up and dine out. This was a great choice! We were totally impressed by the service - since we are a demanding...

Pros: Excellent course selection and drinks!
Cons: Service could use a lift. Take-out not great.
We've been all over restaurants in Philadelphia and have become sort of snobs. Buddakan is getting older now, but it is still our favorite. We love everything on the menu. Must haves....the best Caesar salad, the salad with calamari is divine, best...

Pros: hot coffee, good, fast service, seated quickly with reservations, nice presentation, trendy atmosphere
Cons: food lacks creativity,uninventive,prepared poorly.
My husband and I enjoy creative food and were excited to give Buddakan a try. Hearing only rave reviews, we assumed we were in for a dynamic dining experience. The drinks were fine. I had a "millenium", like a cosmo with blood orange. My husband a ...

Pros: Food is fantastic. Must try a dessert.
Cons: Expensive, but worth it.
This place is a must for dinner in Philadelphia. I had the sea bass, which was incredible. Had the best Caesar salad I ever had. And my dessert was a work of art. My friend and I both had a dessert. They both looked too good to eat. And they tasted as...

Pros: Wonderful menu creations.
Cons: Expensive but worth it.
I eat at Buddakan usually once a month and can say hands down this is one of the better restaurants in Philadelphia. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the huge budda, over 10 feet high, at the community table is awesome.
The restaurant...

Pros: its simply the best
