My dining event at Buddakan was really a first rate experience. Recently, traveling I went to Buddakan in N.Y.. Service in that restaurant was so pleasant!The space is clean and lovely. The hospitality was fantastic. The order showed up very fast. Certainly one of my personal issues would be the presentation wasn't that amazing. The look was okay yet didn't ensure that you get that "omg" factor. The superior quality not to mention quantity of food seemed to be to excellent. Even though virtually no serious complaints. Among the two or 3 starter items & 2 main courses we ordered, I probably would say 3 as exceptional & One as extremely decent Also was to see a NYC establishment devoid of too much attitude. I'm a huge lover of the place. We definitely will be back again soon.

Check out the communal table downstairs. Look familiar? It played host to Carrie Bradshaw's rehearsal dinner before her wedding-gone-awry in the first SATC movie!

Amazing! Get the hoisin glazed pork belly and glazed black cod. Oh and save room for the chocolate sesame fondant. It's really a fancy pb&j dessert and so yummy!
