★★★★★ 5.0 Roze · Jan 2026

Buddakan was the perfect choice for celebrating my friend’s birthday with a group. From the moment we walked in, the space felt stunning very beautiful, dramatic, and aesthetically pleasing. The ambiance alone makes it feel like a special occasion spot. We opted for the tasting menu ($110 per person), and it was absolutely worth it. The menu included a wide variety of appetizers, entrées, and a dessert flight, giving everyone the chance to try so many different dishes. Everything was flavorful, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. The food felt very Asian-authentic while still offering unique, creative twists that made each dish stand out. The cocktails were also excellent well crafted and enjoyable throughout the night. On top of that, the service truly elevated the experience. The

Super fun dining experience! It serves some nice Asian/Chinese fusion dishes. All food came in big serving sizes and you get some really interesting innovation. It also serves nice vegetarian options. Dishes are flavorful and mocktail tastes great as well! The atmosphere is really perfect for special event gathering. Highly recommend!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jesus sierra · Mar 2026

We visited Buddakan to celebrate a birthday, and in terms of flavor, the food was absolutely delicious. The edamame dumplings were the highlight of the night — surprising and perfectly balanced. Overall, every dish had great flavor, and the drinks were well-balanced and complemented the meal beautifully. Unfortunately, the presentation did not match the quality of the food. Some plates were chipped, the menu looked worn out, and the tables and chairs felt unstable and noticeably deteriorated. This took away from the experience, especially for a special occasion. Sadly, none of the photos we took were good enough to share due to the condition of the plates and overall presentation. The flavors are excellent, but the ambiance and upkeep need attention.

★★★★★ 5.0 clémentine huertas · Feb 2026

This place is gorgeous, the atmosphere is chic, relaxed and intimate at the same time. There’s a beautiful main room with a huge table, it almost looks like a museum. The staff is super nice and the service is spot on. I had veggie dumplings with truffle and potato, very flavorful and original. The crispy tofu was amazing, super crispy and glazed perfectly. The curry was very good, with a well seasoned and cooked rice. The mochi donut balls for dessert were my favorite: crispy, chewy, not overly sweet - the perfect bite.

★★★★★ 5.0 Julian Barberi · Dec 2025

I celebrated my anniversary here, and the food was absolutely incredible. I was really surprised by how generous the portions were, every dish was perfect for sharing and truly delicious. The atmosphere makes you feel like you’re inside a castle, which made the experience even more special. I’ll definitely be back. 100% recommended!
