Buddakan

"Buddakan is an upscale Asian fusion restaurant located in the heart of Chelsea, NYC. Known for its lavish decor and opulent ambiance, it offers a menu that blends traditional Asian flavors with modern culinary techniques. Guests can indulge in a variety of inventive dishes, from sushi and dim sum to flavorful entrees inspired by Chinese, Japanese, and Thai cuisines. With its chic atmosphere and exquisite cuisine, Buddakan provides a luxurious dining experience in Manhattan."

"When it comes to celebrating a birthday, over the top is perfectly acceptable. The dining room at Buddakan is stunning, and the cocktails and food hold up to its grandeur. The dishes, from Mongolian lamb chops to kung pao monkfish and ma la chicken, we admit, will put a dent in your wallet, but we think this iconic NYC restaurant is worth splurging on at least once. Out of all the “clubstaurants” in New York City, this lavish dinner spot tops our list. "

"The night before the big day is perfect for a unique dinner with all of your guests as a rehearsal dinner. My top recommendation is the famous restaurant that appeared in the rehearsal dinner of Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big in the Sex and the City movie, Buddakan. This restaurant offers exquisite Asian cuisine in a chic environment filled with candles and electronic music, creating a brilliant and memorable atmosphere."
