Budda Kitchen & Bar 7.9
Washington Heights (North)
Vibes: Girls Night Out Approved Happy Hour Hotspots Late Night Legends Trendy Table Hotspots
Budda Kitchen & Bar is a Latin-leaning sushi and cocktail lounge where rolls, wings, and steaks play against a DJ-backed soundtrack. Washington Heights groups treat it as the neighborhood’s louder option for sushi-heavy nights with strong drinks rather than quiet, traditional Japanese dinners.
Must-Try Dishes: Chicken Wings, Chicken Dumplings, Fried Calamari
