Fodor's Expert Review Buddakan
$$$$
Old City
Asian
This Stephen Starr restaurant is presided over by a 10-foot-tall gilded Buddha who seems to approve of the fusion food that pairs Pan-Asian ingredients with various cooking styles. The truffled edamame dumplings and tuna tartare spring rolls are tasty, but much of the appeal is in the theatrical decor and people-watching, also prevalent at Buddakan's outposts in New York and Atlantic City. A long "community table" provides an opportunity to dine with anyone else who snags this center-stage space. Be prepared for a loud and lively atmosphere.
