• Asian • Old City

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.

Exceptional from start to finish. (Always is). Staff was kind and courteous with our guest with mobility impairments and need for the ramp and extra time getting to and from our table. Richard, our server, was patient and knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. All of our food was incredible. Had a few drinks and they were great too. We love Parc!

I visit this place all the time, there is always excellent service, I can say this time it seem they forgot about my reservation time, until I said something after waiting 11minutes later watching them seat and help others but that gets a pass no biggie they were polite, professional still and overall I had a phenomenal time like always, I have videos of this place on YouTube to watch the amazing experience.
