Buddha-bar Restaurant New York

The service was very slow and the food was awful! Not worth the money.

The waiters, the girls at the entrance are very rude, the food is not the best, it has a lot of movement on instagram but the restaurant is not really good. to take a picture with the buddha you must line up and it is very small

The only enjoyable part of the evening were the drinks. The food was sub-par and the noise level aka I had to raise my voice to almost scream at my partner for him to hear anything I said. The noise level was off the charts, to the point where I had a scratchy throat by the time we left. The service was alright but nowhere close to what you expect for a place like Budda Bar. The waiter kept on leaning on our table, almost knocking over my partner's drink while speaking to the ladies seated next to us and forgot about us entirely once the appetizers were served until we tried to pay. Now to the food, where to start? This was by far the worst sushi of my life. The toro was not at all fresh anymore, it tasted like it was left over from a few days ago. The caviar was rather deflated. The wagyu steak was good but was hidden under a layer of fried onions and pesto. The dessert was a little sad.

Great time there as always. The whole staff is fantastic

Upon arrival, they had told us they were triple booked and we had to wait 15 minutes for a table to open up even when we had a reservation. 15 minutes turned into 30 minutes and everyone who was coming in after us were getting seated right away. Then the waiter had only came to our table twice and took about an hour to bring out the check. Never checked up on us to see if we needed anything or to refill our waters. Understood that they were super busy but that’s no excuse. Food was decent but nothing amazing, definitely something you can get elsewhere. Not a fan.
