Buddha-Bar New York - Modern Asian Restaurant

I’ve wanting to go here for quite a long time. And we finally got there on Mother’s Day. Surprisingly it was easy to make a reservation. And when we arrived I was shocked to see that the restaurant was practically empty. Just few people. That was a red flag right there. Most places are packed on holidays like this. We made our order. The worry was friendly , food arrived pretty quick. But I didn’t enjoy it at all. It was bland . But the prices were high. Not recommending and not coming back(((

Celebrated my friends' birthday ! Made reservations for 830. We got there and we were seated immediately! The staff was very welcoming and polite . The atmosphere was perfect, very relaxing & well lit , chill vibes. Our waitress was outstanding and the food was amazing 👏🏾 it's pricey but worth the experience.

Went to a Solo Dinner date. Was quite suprise it was a bit empty on a Friday night non the less wonderful atmosphere great for taking pictures and the Buddha statue is beautiful. Food was wonderful except for the desert I had, server was the bartender but she was Ohk she wasn’t over bearing. Service was good

I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the moment you walk in, the service is exceptional—staff go above and beyond to create a truly memorable experience. The food is nothing short of amazing, with each dish beautifully plated. The truffle rolls are out of this world—without a doubt, the best I’ve ever had in NYC! The drinks are just as impressive, perfectly crafted and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, and the DJ set takes it to the next level. I can’t recommend this place enough—definitely a must-visit!

I’m very particular with where I dine and have a list of expectations/standards which Buddha Bar fulfilled perfectly. This is a great place for that dark and luxurious vibe, an atmosphere with keen attention to detail. Service was exceptional and my party and I were well taken care of. Drinks were just as appealing as the vibe of the restaurant. I enjoyed the appetizers more than my main, presentation however was beautiful. Taste wise, I expected more. Reccommend this to anyone who appreciates a more mature crowd.

Ambience is beautiful, we loved it! Food was good. Service was terrible. Our waitress took our order but never came to check on us. The only time she came was to ask if we wanted the dessert. We ordered 2 desserts and they were very delicious.

I decided to go to Buddha Bar during their restaurant week. I specifically wanted to go there knowing that it is a sleek and happening restaurant with mixed reviews. Firstly, I wanted to address if the ambience is what it seems to be. The answer is, 100%. Their interior is full of tasteful black and gold hues. Most importantly, they have a beautifully decorated buddha that has stunning changing lights. Now, let’s discuss their service. Although Buddha Bar is notorious for having bad customer service, I personally experienced nothing of that sort. The most I have experienced was our drinks being delayed. However, as soon as I said something to our waiter, it was served to us right away. Also, if you want their restaurant week menu, you have to specifically ask your waiter for it. They do not initially give you the restaurant week menu. Lastly, how were their food and drinks and would it be worth going there again not during their restaurant week. The answer is yes and yes. Both the quality and taste were excellent. My two highlights were the King Salmon roll and the Serenity drink. I highly recommend this place for a sophisticated girl’s night or a fancy date night.

I had an amazing experience with one of the servers. Her name is Brooke and she was extremely helpful and sweet! She honestly made the experience worth 5 stars. We got help with what to order and she also recommended a very delicious dish. At one point, she took the time to sit down and have a wholesome chat with us. It is rare to encounter such amazing service, and she deserves recognition for her outstanding hospitality.
