We had a nice time here. This place has a great vibe. The music, the lighting, the decor made for a great ambience. Service was great. We ordered a zombie and Tokyo old fashioned. Zombie tasted great. We ordered spicy mango maki, rainbow and soft shell crab bao buns. The food was delicious and the presentation was nice. The price is a very steep.
I would like to start with giving my most highest esteemed appraisal of the service that I received at Buddha Bar London. My host Eden and server Ifrah took a precise, thoughtful, and customized approach to my dining experience. I experienced a few mishaps earlier in the afternoon which caused me to be extremely late for my reservation. However, Eden and Ifrah turned a somewhat negatively eventful afternoon into an amazingly memorable evening. Both Eden and Ifrah took extra time and care to make sure the accommodations I received were nothing less than 5 star. I am an avid customer of the New York location however, both Eden and Ifrah ensured that my experience would be something to always remember in London. I will definitely patronize this location and give my highest appraisal to the staff especially Eden and Ifrah! Absolutely fabulous.
I've been a frequent flyer to Buddha bars but never met a place with better ambience and better service than this location. Antonio, the bartender was on it 100% of the time and constantly provided exceptional service and hospitality. Easily the best bartender I've encountered because of his personal charisma and constant caring of a customer. Thank you Antonio for letting me name this bar, the most enjoyable bar in London!
Amazing service! Amazing food! Nice ambience. It is loud in here but it was expected and the night I went had a DJ. More of a social sushi spot with amazing sushi and cocktails. I dined solo but really wanted the dry ice served with my meal. The waiter told me it was only for large orders. But they then surprised me with it on my order. The sushi and ceviche were very good and the cocktails were amazing. I can't remember the name of the cocktail picture but I had like 4 of them. The waiter accidentally overcharged me the wrong amount for the meal and flagged me down on the way out to make it right. They gave me a few complimentary cocktails for the inconvenience. Amazing establishment. Make a reservation as far as you can in advance, weekends get packed. Video of the dry ice platter on my IG @_eatnow
Buddha-Bar is swanky and posh! It always reminds me Tao in NYC and Vegas, dinning here gives me a feeling of having holiday in the US. The price is on the fancy side, but the place is well decorated with trendy and romantic vibe. The chandelier with the beautiful staircase with the giant Buddha behind, it's a perfect background for any food lovers to take some glamorous foodie night out pictures. Ambiance is quite lovely and the service is quite fast/accommodating !! Most importantly, I do always enjoy the food here! I prefer to come here on a date than girls night out.
