"At Buddakan, Stephen Starr’s pan-Asian clubstaurant in the Meatpacking District, multiple former servers allege a culture of insensitivity and favoritism. Claims of disproportionate assignment to lower-paying shifts for Black servers and a toxic work environment are prevalent. Despite the restaurant's popularity and early acclaim, allegations of inequity and favoritism overshadow its reputation." - Luke Fortney
