About Buddakan:
A surreal oasis nestled unassumingly in NYC's vibrant Meatpacking District, adjacent to Chelsea Market. The restaurant combines the serenity of Asia with the flamboyance of 16th-century Paris. Otherworldly art, ornate chandeliers, and a bevy of gilded details kick the senses into overdrive, setting a dramatic precedent for fanciful, shareable pan-Asian fare inspired by multiple traditions. As Buddakan embarks on an exciting new collaboration with  Chef Danny Bowien — the visionary behind Mission Chinese — the restaurant continues to evolve, bringing bold new flavors and creativity to its already iconic menu.

• The ability to work evenings and weekends is required
