"Good dumplings in this town are in abundance, but the ones at Buddakan have been impressing diners for over two decades. Their signature edamame dumplings that are served in a truffled sauternes-shallot broth are the definition of iconic (and tasty) dining." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
"Among the new options are beloved dishes from some of Starr's most acclaimed spots, like the black pepper beef from Buddakan."
Ed Harris, Junior Sous chef, Winner! Episode 4.9, June 15, 2010
"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
"Morimoto opened in 2006, right down the street from sprawling pan-Asian restaurant Buddakan, which opened weeks later." - Erika Adams
