Buddakan Atlantic city Reviews

The food here is absolutely amazing. I had the edamame ravioli and sea bass. Sea bass cooked to perfection and the ravioli was delicious as well. Definitely recommend.

Visited on a Wednesday I think. This place has a good atmosphere. Feeling here is similar to a place in Columbus I liked.

Dropped in on Mon I think. The service was sociable and attentive. Like a restaurant in Washington I loved.

Service is always super even when they have a full house. Prices were reasonable.

it's so savory. the service here is friendly. ambience reminds me of colorado springs area.

I really loved this place. This place has a great design.

This place is amazing. Went there in June 2013 and eating there was quite a treat. We ordered the food for takeout even though they were happily enough to accommodate us in their restaurant. The portion size were big but it was so delicious! I would definitely recommend stopping by here or any of their other locations.

Service is always timely even when they have a full house. Had a friend come into town and asked me to take him here again. This place has a cool feel to it.

Service is prompt even when they are busy. It has a great interior.

The best dish we ordered was a side of chinese eggplant. The chicken ponzo with buddha buns was poorly executed and cheap tasting for an entree of over $20. The king crab tempura was similar to the fried seafood obtained at any local Chinese food restauraunt. The sashimi was overseasoned. Waygu beef sticks were pretty good. Our waitress was cordial but didn't take much time to explain things. The restauraunt is gorgeous, especially the main dining room. It is a bit dark in this restaurant, easily the darkest restaurant i've been in. Portions were advertised large but were not as expected, especially for the price of the items. Skip this place unless you're going for cocktails.

Very nice place with a pretty main dining room and a low-key, low-lit bar. Food is wonderful! I suggest the drink "serenity" with the lychee fruit at the bottom. Delicious!

Excellent service from Ezra, very informative! He answered every question we had flawlessly and made us feel very special even though he had a lot of other tables. He told us about the duck and sea bass which were amazing! His wine knowledge was great too! I will be recommending buddakan to my associates. The only issue we had was that the the managers were a little pushy. We explained to Ezra that we wanted to enjoy our meal and not be rushed (which he timed perfectly with great communication) , but a couple of female managers seemed to want us out of there to seat another table i guess. A tall cute blonde, and a shorter brunette with glasses addressed us several times and even brought us a check when we weren't even finished yet. Ezra apologized and accommodated us professionally. We'll definitely be asking for Ezra when we come back.

Amazing happy hour, only downside is restricted to bar, but turned out to be upside!!! Amazing drinks, Ms. Sami is knowledgable skilled rock star mix-ologist. Food was next level as well!!!

My first time and most definitely not the last . Food was phenomenal and staff is top shelf .

This restaurant is as good as it gets. Beautiful atmosphere, outstanding service, and a delicious and generous meal. I would eat here every night if I could.

This was incredible! A bit pricey but worth every penny. The food just kept coming and coming. Every dish was magnificent.

A menu like no other! My SO and I split 3 appetizers and the wasabi crusted steak for dinner. All the food was amazing but we could not stop talking about the Puffs and Edamame Ravioli. These two appetizers are a MUST! Beyond this, the servers were super attentive and there was never a dirty dish or empty glass on our table.

The aged steak and seabass entrees are to die for. Star is as Star does.

Great date restaurant. Excellent food, wonderful ambiance and attentive service.

The place is look very cool just little dark ..
Our server derek was pleasant and knowledge about menu
Food presentation awesome, fresh vege , just little bit salty for my taste

Amazing meal with an explosion of flavor. Tasting menu is the perfect dinner.

I like it here always quality food & service. Service treated us so kindly.

Delicious food and reasonable price. Would have given 5 stars but seating arrangements can use a facelift. They sit people in walking paths of bathrooms but with tables that are in everyone's way. Your entire meal your table is being hit by people going to the bathroom and wait staff trying to get around. Drinks spilling and just plain annoying. Need to redo as they planned poorly.

Good food, great selection and good service.
The place was a bit too loud.

Need to try their fantastically good calamari salad. Best aisian food served. My favorite restaurant when in AC .

I enjoy the happy hour specials here, both drinks and small plates. Awesome cocktails, subtle flavors and attention to detail in the food.

Was not very happy with the food. Some of it was okay, some was bad

Outstanding service, food prompt and prepared perfectly!

Visited at eight, it was not full. Quick and friendly service.

Good, but bring a flashlight. Service was excellent.

Over looking the ocean with beautiful sunset views. The decors are beautiful yet very simple. We took sometime to figure out the menu. Fortunately we landed up having one of the best dishes the chef has to serve. Pepper ribeye was amazing with subtle flavors. BBQ pork was dangerously delicious, We asked for well done. In the beginning we were not confident about the food we ordered so we added kimchi beef fried rice just in case and it turned out to be a great trio/combo meal. Every dish we ordered has it s own unique flavor. Basically nothing can go wrong with your choices.
Very friendly and Professional staff. Had a great time.

I love eating here. Really nothing but good experiences here. Prices were appropriate.

Don't fret if it's busy, it is worth the wait. Reminds me of a place in New York I loved to visit.

Great service and great meal. Especially the spare ribs. Jordan was a great waiter.

i was so stuffed. there was quick, helpful, and friendly service. bring your appetite because portions are filling. menu is like a cafe in boston i liked.

Food is amazing! Chef is amazing! We love eating here.

The edamame raviolis are amazing...make sure you eat at least one

came in on a weds. i will probably become a regular.

Food and service was Outstanding! So much so, we will return next time we're in AC

Walked in on Saturday, but apparently they were doing reservations only. So went Sunday, and it felt like we had the place to ourselves. We had lobster puff, crab fried rice and the melt in your mouth lamb. Soooo good. And dont let me get started on those cocktails. So much passion went in all the above. And our waitress Jennifer is amazing. Recommended if your in AC.
Definitely going back

service is awesome even when they are busy. the bill was good for how much you get. feeling here is similar to a place in columbus i liked.

Food was amazing even at 11pm plus with an fairly empty restaurant. This place is huge though. Definitely worthwhile if you are looking for amazing food.

Food is very good, and the service was great. Very friendly and attentive.

I go here every year and get the wasabi filet for my b day.. I went March 8 this year and it was a little different ... i went with my wife , mother in law and sister in law ... food was great like always but our waiter was not friendly whatsoever .. we were greeted by him saying do you guys want ice or bottled water then continued to give us an attitude .... He did not introduce himself or anything. We could barely get a hold of him to get a ginger ale ... I m disappointed cuz i love their food but this birthday dinner was a disappointment and he made our experience very uncomfortable .... i don t think i will be back just because of that .... disappointment cuz their foods great and the service is normally awesome .

Tasting menu for 2..get some of their best in one meal.

I've eaten there many times and the food is always incredible! The tasting menu is always a great option for a big group, but al a carte dishes are great as well. The sea bass is my favorite here! And yes you need to order edamame ravioli, it's a must. Their rices, side dishes (especially the eggplant) are delicious, and desserts are great too. You can't go wrong with going to Buddakan!

Very good place for a dait classy but not over the top. Bring much girlfriend hear a lot and it's her favorite places to eat.

Nice vibe- wonderful
Wish they had more menu selection just like the one in the NYC- pity

The food is excellent, lamb chops are amazing, tuna tartar rolls are sooooooo good we had a good time with my friends

Visited about four, it was not full. The staff was very welcoming and observant. It has an awesome feel to it. Food is like a place in Baltimore I liked.

Nothing but enjoyable experiences here. I can see why they have a lot of great reviews.

Amazing bento box. Love the ambient atmosphere and friendly staff. One of my new favorite restaurants in AC.

had a friend come into town and she asked me to take her here again. prices are appropriate. food is similar to a cafe in indianapolis i loved.

Super place to meet and chat with coworkers. Looking forward to returning with my friends.

Service was perfect
Food was perfect ... Edamame Ravioli, wasabi crusted filet mignon was melt in your mouth
Atmosphere perfect
We will be back

Great atmosphere and food!We really loved dumplings .
Can't wait to come back and try dinner!

Good food. I like my food spicy. I should of asked for hot sauce and soy sauce

Next time I'll be back with my friends. The place has a nice feel to it.

Overall, the food and the service was good. My wife and I both agree the Chef's Tasting for 2 is definitely worth $60/person compared with other restaurants in the area at similar price points.

The service was excellent and they were very accommodating, considering we were the only people in the restaurant with an infant. They had no problem relocating us when we asked to be seated at a different table.

Amazing Asian fusion, not typical of most restaurants they want you to share dishes. Plus the food came out in the order in which it was finished in the kitchen. So my food was amazingly fresh. The best Creme Brulee I have ever had. I honestly am looking forward to my next trip to AC just for this restaurant.

It's like dining on a Hollywood set, the place is truly stunning, and the food is very good, only blatant saltiness keeping it from being excellent. It's located on the third floor of the refurbished and exciting pier across the Boardwalk from Caesar's, hanging over the ocean. Unfortunately the servers are trained to push drinks, appetizers, desserts, and cappuccino. The fifth query about a drink was just too much. Hard selling ruined the night.

Loved the food, great drinks menu. Awesome cocktails, good service and an amazing variety of sake. Great ambience.

Great food and service! Be ready they serve it family style.

We went in with hesitation as there were very few vegetarian options on menu. When we sat down and enquired about our options, they said to they can convert most of the options into vegetarian. Food taste was amazing, and Buddha statue was giving good vibes. It was a little darker, but food taste compensated for that. Would highly recommend it

Went for restaurant week with 6 friends. It was cool to be able to try things, but portions were so small and drinks were so expensive that I left poor and hungry. The food was delicious, honestly. Maybe I should go back sometime, but I'm not sure I could afford it on a normal night.

Visited about four, it was not full. Definitely worth a return visit. This place has a cool design. Feels like a place in Los Angeles I loved.

service is consistently good. menu is like a cafe in boston i liked.

service is awesome even when they are busy. i had a brother come into town and asked me to take him back here.

The food was spectacular! Fresh, perfectly seasoned. Had the Zen-Gria as a cocktail--excellent. A must go in AC!

great staff good food and drinks fantastic desserts
