This place has pretty good food but it is a tad exensive for what you get.  Seriously you can go to a buffet and all that and get wayyyyyy more food for the same price.  so why pay for buddakan?  i don't know.  Impress someone maybe?  Be yourself, you don't need thsi fancy smancy shit.  oh boy sorry for the rant i just feel horibble.  

Great place.

Check out this place, it is really awesome.  Buddakan is awesome and it is well worth the expensive price.  I love the great service and the delicious sushi.  It is so great.  I enjoy the endless great wonderful food that they can give you!  I am really excited to go back here for a date or two in the future!

Impress someone.

Great place to go to impress someone.  The only reason why i would know that is because I won a free gift certificate to go here.  Otherwise, it is a bit tooo expensive, i would say!  You can easily spend 100 dollars here which is ridiculous.  Maybe for something really special like an anniversary, but sitll.  Not the best place to go foften.

Buddakan is pretty awesome if you are willing to spend a lot of money.  I recommd their steak in any form, it is really good.  They are great at preparing food quickly, too.  They have a bar, too, I believe, although I haven't  drank anything.  Appetizers are awesome here i highly recommend them.  I enjoy their salads, too, mm mm.

Mm.

Great food, really good sea food and they someimtes have a sort of fushion sea food dish.  Very good.  Staff is friendly but they seem a  little pretensious sometimes if you're not a rich snob who'll give them a 20 dollar tip.  They have nice drinks here too with unique flavors.  They have a huge buddha which is pretyt cool haha.  Good place, good selections.

Best food I have ever had, hands down.  The atmosphere is great and the dip sum donuts are TO DIE FOR!!  It is definately expensive, but worth it for a special night out. 

GREAT!

Buddakan probably serves some of the best food in the city. I've never had anything here that I haven't enjoyed. From the way they prepare seafood to the delicate preparations of the veggies on the side, everything is great! Save room for dessert too.

Overrated.

Seriously. Spend less somewhere else and get more food. That simple.

Good food for a price

Buddakan offers high quality food, but you'll be paying a high price for it. It's definitely worth a splurge, but unless you have a wad of cash, it's a bit of a tease to your tastebuds because you won't be frequenting this place too often. Hit it up for restaurant week though. It certainly won't disappoint.

Overpriced.

Small portions, not worth it! Seriously, the fancy smanciness is not worth portions that are two bites big. Go somewhere else. Also, it is hard to see the sort of "fushion" that Buddakon emphasizes.
