    • NileGuide Expert tip:

    Buddakan offers an upscale twist on the pan-Asian cuisine. Patrons go there not just for the over-the-top decor, but also for consistently excellent food and fun drinks. If you're a chocolate-lover, be sure to get dessert here!

    Description:

    • This Pan-Asian nightspot centers around a 10½-foot gilded Buddha. Buddakan features glistening decor accented by wasabi-colored booths, two full bars, plenty of sofas for lounging, along with a 20-person community table where you can share food and conversation with friends. Chef Scott Swiderski has created a whirlwind tour of the Pacific Rim in menu form, from Garlic Grilled Shrimp with Long Life Noodle to Wok Smoked Salmon to Szechuan-crusted Tuna with wasabi sour cream.
