Buddakan: Best of Asian Fusion in Philadelphia

Named one of “America's Top 50 Restaurants" by Travel & Leisure and a "Top Restaurant for Fun" by Gourmet, Buddakan has distinguished itself amid the growing throngs of mediocre pan-Asian restaurants. Serving an impressive selection of continental fusion foods that draw from the distinct culinary traditions of Japan, China, Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam (to name a few) the classy establishment is an exotic haven for fans of strong flavors and unique combinations. If you’re overwhelmed or indecisive, the varied appetizers will suit your diverse palette, while entrées get a little heftier with a range that includes pan roasted duck breast with a five spice jus and scallion spoon bread, or Japanese black cod in a miso glaze with wasabi mashed potatoes. The carefully crafted choices are each packed with enough punch to tickle your tongue. Dessert is equally fabulous, with traditional pastry items dressed up to suit the Eastern theme—try the chocolate bento box or Buddakan crème brulee for unique spins on classic sweets.
