"Edamame dumplings, char siu pork buns, and Kobe beef satay can all be found at this longtime Stephen Starr restaurant. Between the 10-foot-tall Buddha statue that catches the eye of every diner entering or the impressive Asian cocktails — Buddakan is the one of the city’s most elegant places to eat." - Ernest Owens, Diana Lu
