Long on glitz and short on substance. The restaurant in Philadelphia is lovely to look at, particularly if you are lucky enough to be placed within sight of the Budda. The service is professional, but cold and unfriendly. The food is the big disapointment, ranging from adequate to some of the worst Chinese food we've ever tasted. We shall ...

Excellent food, service and great place to just relax and have fun. One of my favorite spots. Was once a Philly resident and since I have now moved only get to get there once in a while but when I come to Philly, I make sure it is on my list to go.

Budda was Not Happy and I was NOT Happy at Buddakan in Philadelphia, PA

Loud, noisy, overpriced, expensive, food was not worth the price...came cold, not eye appealing, and too expensive.

I've been there and I would say its a nice place to eat. Noisy, but have ambience and its quiant. Food is great, and every can share off of each other's plates. This make the ambience and quaint ratio high. Great place to take to impress your dates, but horrible parking if you don't use valet parking or the local parking lots.

Had lunches and dinners at this restaurant. Food is great and the presentation is first-rate.

No matter how often one goes here you are impressed by the service the great food and the ambiance.

LOVE THIS GREAT PLACE. WE GO OFTEN AND EACH TIME IS JUST GREAT

Just love this great restaurant. Steven Starr outdoes himself with this one.
I especially adore the Chocolate deserts (mountain). The service is very good, but it is alwsy so busy that often you must wait a bit. But,all in all, I love Buddakan

THIS RESTURANT WIILL ALWAYS BE MY FAV!! THE FOOD IS SUPERB, THE ATMOSPHERE HIP AND THE SERVICE IS WONDERFUL. STEVEN STARR SHOULD RUN FOR MAYOR!!!
