We had an intimate dinner Thursday night to celebrate my wife's 50th. Surprise guests, and a lot of emotion. Sean, Tony, Chef Amanda, Chef Drew, everyone did a fantastic job of preparing the room, keeping the secret, and creating a perfect evening. The food? Spectacular. The new Korean dish is a mindblower. Buku rocks in every way.

Used to be one of my favorite restaurants and would always be willing to make the trip downtown for the Massaman Hot Pot, but sometime last year they took it off the menu! Both my mom and I always ordered it and were very disappointed that it's no longer there. I keep checking the menu in the hopes that they add it back. Otherwise, always had a great experience there and the atmosphere/wait staff were wonderful.

First time at Buku and we were pleasantly surprised. We frequent eateries in downtown Raleigh and somehow have missed Buku. Our waiter was excellent. The food was good. Some may think it's pricey but not out of line of any other establishment in the area.
