My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here for the first time and we have nothing but praises for Buddakan in AC! The service was phenomenal, and the food was amazing! The edamame ravioli is a MUST! We were skepticle when ordering it but there were so many great reviews on this food item and it absolutely did not disappoint! The atmosphere is luxurious - very dark so the menu can be slightly difficult to view, but the stary ceiling lights and the mood in this restaurant is so relaxing and intimate. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking to celebrate a special occasion! Also, order the "Wisdom" cocktail...you won't regret it!

Solid solid meal. Significant portions. This place is all about the atmosphere but I was blown away by the food too. Walk into a place like this in NYC (ehem...Tao) and expect to get tiny portions of lackluster food at exorbitant prices to go with your atmosphere. And lots of attitude to boot. Not here! Great atmosphere. Great kind service. Amazing food. Highly recommended!

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.

Everything was awesome...from the drinks, to the food, to the service...all excellent!! We had the tuna spring rolls and oxtail dumplings for appetizers, the lamb, Asian bbq pork and crab-fried rice for dinner, and the zen-ful donuts for dessert. Yes it was very expensive, but it's a good place to splurge for a special occasion. You won't be disappointed!

Wonderful ambience and professional staff all around! I brought my girlfriend here and they catered to our needs being vegetarian. The food is beyond my expectations-simply delicious. Definitely Will return next time!
