Who knew that a former cookie factory could ooze opulence? At Buddakan, the subtle concrete-colored entryway leads to an airy bar and lounge where lattice-screen walls offer hints that something impressive lies on the floor below. Like its sibling in Philadelphia, this eatery makes an impact with sheer size, its décor and its savory Asian-Fusion cuisine. Once you’ve lingered at the bar over snazzy cocktails such as “Charm” (Champagne and Asian pear) or “Rhyme” (spiced rum, root beer leaves, ginger ale), you’ll descend down one side of a dual staircase towards an impressive banquet table that lines an expansive room. Gargantuan chandeliers cast a warm glow over the candelabra-topped family-style table. For appetizers, be sure to indulge in the edamame dumplings accompanied by a sweet shallot-and-Sauternes broth or the plump, crispy taro puff lollipops filled with pork and ginger. Entrées range from jasmine tea-scented chicken to Mongolian lamb chops to fried tofu and pineapple. Sweet-and-sour baby eggplant melts in your mouth almost as easily as the blatantly decadent desserts; and really, if it’s called "Crying Chocolate" (molten cake, white chocolate ganache, coffee ice cream and caramel), is there anything left to say?
