    After visiting her numerous times, we’ve decided that we enjoy coming in right at opening around 5:30 PM. It is less crowded and the staff is super attentive. Our selections were amazing. We went with the jade shrimp dumpling, the lobster eggroll, and the broccoli and black bean sauce. The Blush was our cocktail of choice. Never disappoints. We were particularly happy with our experience this time. Highly recommended.

    We went to Buddakan last night and it was only okay. For a 7:15 reservation we were seated pretty promptly, but certainly not in a great location, right on the path to the bathrooms, as well as where all the servers seemed to be hanging out watching their tables. We could also see that the more happening seats were on the lower level. We ordered the dim sum tasting for two, and the dumplings were bland. I had the Black Pepper Beef and my husband had the sizzling short Ribs, both were okay. We also ordered the chilled Peanut Noodles, which were good but nothing special. We should have been warned that we were ordering too much food, as apparently the main dishes are meant to shared. I will say the service was excellent, very attentive! it was the floating manager that checked in on us that explained about the share idea, when it should have bee the server, as we were ordering, not AFTER! Two $30 dollar a piece glasses of wine and a $275 check later, we were unimpressed to say the least.

    Such a great experience. Service was incredible. The food was excellent. Shared plates - edamame dumplings were hands down my fcve. Lived the short rib as the main and the chilled peanut noodles were fantastic. Didn’t love dessert but enjoyed the presentation of it. Again, the service was the absolute best.
