" What a fantastic time at Buddakan! I went with friends for restaurant week and we ordered almost everything on the menu to share. The dim sum was delightful, particularly the edamame dumplings in truffle broth. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helped us pick the best drinks to pair with our meal. The desserts were divine—donuts with dipping sauces are a showstopper. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic place to celebrate special occasions! I took my partner here and we indulged in the tasting menu. Everything from the appetizers to desserts was spot-on and visually stunning. Our waiter was a gem; he made our night feel even more special. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not impressed with my recent visit to Buddakan. Service was lackluster, and my meal felt a bit bland compared to what I'd heard. While the atmosphere is stunning, I found myself disappointed with some dishes. I'll probably give it another shot since it might have just been an off night. " (*Curated Review*)
