About this business
This Pan-Asian nightspot centers around a 10½-foot gilded Buddha. Buddakan features glistening decor accented by wasabi-colored booths, two full bars, plenty of sofas for lounging, along with a 20-person community table where you can share food and conversation with friends. Chef Scott Swiderski has created a whirlwind tour of the Pacific Rim in menu form, from Garlic Grilled Shrimp with Long Life Noodle to Wok Smoked Salmon to Szechuan-crusted Tuna with wasabi sour cream.

We had a great experience here, I can’t say one negative thing about it. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable, the food - oh the food! What a departure from the norm. We had the shrimp dumplings for an appetizer, pepper beef, Dan Dan noodles and lobster. For dessert we had the dip-sum donuts, which are a must. I’d recommend all, but I especially loved the flavor in the beef. The price was reasonable and the ambiance cool. We loved Buddakan and we're already talking about what we’ll order next time.
I’ve been twice. Service and food was terrific. Consider family style for large parties. Lots of bang for your buck.

We had dim sum tastings and the hoisin glazed pork belly as appetizers-superb! Then the miso cod with amazing shiitake mushrooms and the sea bass with haricots verts and truffle jus were shared and did not fail to please too. We couldn’t leave without dessert so we ordered mandarin fudge cake and their famous donuts with coffee-not a single disappointment! If I have any negative critique it would have to be with the cocktails, we had a flower of Macau and a bad moon rising neither of which were interesting or distinctive in ... read more
