Well tomorrow is fh's bday and he said he wants to go to TAO this coming saturday, its his favorite restaurant. I just called and they had no reservations open, well they had for 11:30pm lol. I called Buddakan bc i hear so much about it and made reservations. FH has been wanting to try this out and when i mentioned buddakan for his bday instead of tao he said its supposed to be great but he thinks its even more expensive than Tao so thats why he told me not to do it, but i had no other choice now and couldn't think of a place equally as good

who has been there? im asking bc when i went to buddah bar which is great by the way, the portions were TINY. I only ordered one small appetizer, but my entree was so tiny that i left the place hungry lol. If i would've known ahead of time i would've gotten more apps lol. Is buddakan the same? i have a feeling it is. And is it that much more expensive than Tao? i mean how much more can it be haha. I cant wait until next year celebrating his birthday so i dont have to worry about the tons of payments we have to make right before for the wedding lol

I've been to Buddakan... was there recently for someone's birthday. We did a price fixed menu so I can't comment on the prices but the portions were a decent size. I like to eat and I definitely left satisfied. They weren't the size of like.. Jean Georges plates let's say... they were decent. The crowd is great and the decor is beautiful... I think you and FH will have a very nice time there.

I was trying to get reservations to TAO for next weekend and they also told me the earliest reservation is 11:30pm!

good to hear, yeah i was surprised when i went to buddah bar how tiny the portions were...I dont expect HUGE well i prefer it not to be HUGE bc ill eat it all and i shouldn't hahaha but at least if its decent, if not then at least i know to order lots of apps hahaha.

Yeah last time i tried, a few months ago same thing happened.
