Buddha Sky Bar; an Asian concept with design and cuisine influences rooted in Chinese and Japanese interpretations.
A discrete third floor location with off the Avenue access creates an exclusive feel for guests upon arrival. A glass encased rooftop arboretum overlooks downtown Delray Beach. A walk through the kitchen leads to the outdoor "Chef's Table", perfect for private events. Asian accents complement the authenticity of the cuisine featuring Dim Sum, Sushi, & Wok selections from our 'from-scratch' kitchen.
The three-part menu nods to different food preparations including an open sushi bar, a full kitchen as well as Delray Beach's first Binchotan charcoal grill. In addition to traditional menu items like Peking Style Duck it also features a great vegetarian selection.
Buddha Sky features full dinner service at all seats. Due to limited space, reservations are recommended, including bar & sushi bar seats.
"This place was very crowded but had a fun and energetic vibe to it.. The food was excellent!! best pork belly I ever had.. So delicious.. The only negative thing was that they had placed us in a small corner by the door where people were entering and exiting to smoke, CONSTANTLY.. the chair constantly got bumped, and cigarette smoke from outside made its way in with each time the door opened. (We were there for dinner, both non-smokers)"

"Go between 4-6pm for Happy Hour prices on most food and drink items. We went for our anniversary in April and loved it so much that we returned two weeks later with two teenagers and they both loved it. Great dim sum, sushi, pineapple fried rice, beef and shrimp skewers."

"Buddha Sky Bar never disappoints. Food and drink always exemplary. Happy Hour makes it a great "bang for the buck", but even at full price, high quality for the dollar."

"First time at Buddha Sky Bar. Found the décor modern and inviting with a nice view of downtown Delray Beach. They serve a wide selection of Asian dishes including sushi, Thai, Chinese and Japanese. My girlfriend and I shared a shrimp and scallop dim sum, kobe beef skewers and a stir fry with shrimp along with a side of the vegetable fried rice. All dishes were great and the fried rice was better than anything at a regular Chinese take-out. The service was friendly and attentive with little or no wait for our plates. Would recommend if you want Asian food with a little different flair."

"By far the best restaurant we have ever eaten in. We have our main home in Chicago and have a lot of great places all over the city but they take second place to Buddha. The food is superb and allways consistent. The service is right on. We come to our condo in FL twice a year and allways look forward to an evening at Buddha. If you like Aisian you will love this place."

"Very much enjoyed our evening at Buddha Tower in Delray Beach, Florida. The drinks served were fantastic and the food excellent! Even for a rainy evening the view was great, but would have liked to see more of the Avenue. Server Sheila did a nice job and was tenitive to all our needs. Presentation of the wine she did an A+ job, and this is coming from a ex-wine supplier."

Service was exceptional. Well informed,friendly and the pace was great. We live in the area and have walked by many times and have said we should try this place. Really glad we did!"

"The service was excellent. He did make sure to explain everything we needed. Parking was a huge problem. We went around in circles. I called to ask for direction but was just given the street name for valet parking. It would be nice to give more directions for the valet parking. The noise level was high . I didnot know that when I booked."

"It was my first time eating hear and I thought it was amazing! I love the inside scenery, the red lights. Only thing was we had to have custom sushi made, not much tempura salmon or even chicken. Not a big sushi selection. The kitchen did close earlier then I thought 11:00pm. Don't know if that is always the case or just on Fridays . Otherwise I enjoyed it altogether. Thanks you for having me."

"The food is very good at Budda Sky Bar. We enjoy happy house with half-price menu and drinks. Our server Shiela was very attentive but hovered a little closely. We loved the baked scallops, coconut & pineapple fried rice, Wagyu beef skewers, rock shrimp tempura and tuna sashimi!"

"The view of Downtown Delray Beach can be seen from Budha Sky Bar. The wait staff was very attentive an courteous. The drink menu offers unique delights not found in other restaurants as they have numerous saki specialty drinks such as The Last Samurai, made from saki, cucumber and quite refreshing. Edamame, shashimi and a rd dragon roll were ordered. The edamame was typical but nonetheless tasted quite good. The sashimi came out fresh and thick sliced requiring a couple bites for each piece. While the roll served two, it wasn't quite as satisfying as the sashimi this time because the lobster was cooked a bit too long making it a bit on the chewy site."

"Food was generally okay, if priced a bit high. Drinks were very skimpy and much too pricy......$12 for a very small Dewers on the rocks? Also, $5 for a cup of coffee (no refills) is outrageous....even if the cup is individually brewed. Our server was cheerful, helpful and efficient......and took pains to explain that she neither poured the drinks nor set the prices.
In short, we will not be returning, and doubt that they will survive the slack summer season in Delray!"

"This is restaurant has a fun, energetic vibe and the food is great. We ordered everything our server recommended and we weren't disappointed in anything. Most menu items are served in small "tapas" sized portions for tasting. There were 6 of us, which meant we were able to try many things, but only got a small amount of each."

"I live in Delray and my family was visiting me, I took them to Buddha Sky Bar for dinner because I new they would love the food. Not only was the food great as usual, but, Gus our waiter was so kind to my 2 small grandchildren. Thank you for a great experience and for such great service. I will be back with my visiting friends in April! Thanks, Gus for great service beyond the norm!!"

"This was my first time to Buddha. I had passed it walking up and down Atlantic Ave and always meant to try it--so we finally did. We had a terrific time. Great dumplings (try the grilled pork ones), great noodles (try the wild mushroom) and my husband loved the Peking Duck. We will be back."

"Four of us started off trying seats at the Sky Bar, but found the air rather stuffy so we went down to the ground level "Garden" (same menu) and had a great table outside. We took advantage of the great happy hour (half price off much of the menu before 6PM) and ordered a variety of soups, salads, skewers, rolls and more. Everything was excellent, thought the service was below normal probably due to a huge party that had arrived and demanded a lot of the server's attention. Still, she was nice and we really did not care what order the food came out. Overall, a great experience I would recommend to anyone."

"I have passed by this restaurant many times and never realized how good it was. It will be one of my new go tos. Our waiter was adorable and sweet, Orpheo. He helped us with the menu and we chose some delicious dumplings for a starter. We then had a fabulous lobster dish, beautifully presented, had both tempura battered lobster as well as lobster rolls- a take off of a popular "lobster monster dish" served at many other restaurants - but better. The fried rice was unbelievably good and very light with shrimp, crab, chicken, and pork. The duck pancakes were more like a crepe than a pancake- so light and delicious. We loved our meal!"

"BSB is a notch or two above other good sushi restaurants. For instance simple standard dishes like Edamame come with a bit of spice and truffle oil, The Wasabi is real fresh Wasabi not reconstituted powder as commonly found."

"Everything is half-off at Happy Hour except the main menu. We ate entirely from the starter menu and the sushi and dim sum menu and the quality and portions were great. Ribs, chicken, beef plates were fantastic. We loved our server Sheila. We were six adults who have never been there before but we will be back."

"Exceptional evening! We were seated immediately and our server came over to the table once we were settled to ask for our drink orders. Never felt rushed. Very friendly wait staff and hostesses. Sushi was fantastic and prices were very reasonable. We lucked out and made it before 6:00p so our whole bill was half the cost it would have been. I highly recommend this venue for anyone visiting Delray Beach. Parking is a little congested, so allow yourself a little time for parking. There is free parking available, just a few blocks away."

"Budda Sky Bar is a fantastic addition to the Atlantic Avenue dining scene. Food is Asian Fusion and every item we ordered was excellent, from the edaname, to the seafood potstickers, blackened cod skewers, asparagus with lotus root, and vegetable fried rice. Happy hour is until 6PM, so most drinks and food are half price, with a few exceptionss, making it most affordable. The atmosphere is intimate, staff very friendly and helpful in making suggestions and overall this restaurant is one of the best we've been to in Delray Beach. This is an excellent choice for larger groups as well, as you can sample a greater number of the delectable items on the menu and have a wide variety of dishes for your dinner."

"Service and food were incredible, way beyond expectations. As a group of first timers we needed some recommendations from our server, and everything that we selected was just outstanding! Each dish had a very unique taste, and complimented our assortment of specialty cocktails wonderfully! Both their food and drink menu have something to satisfy any palate. Service was attentive, thoughtful, and pleasant. We will definitely be back!!"

"On our first visit to Buddah Sky Bar my date and I were blown away at how much we loved it. Our waitress offerd to help out with her personal favorites, which we accpeted. The food was brought out promtly and exceeded our expectations. We agreed that it was a "taste explosion". Some of the items we odered were the edamame, rock shrimp, cod on a skewer, (to die for!), sea shu mai, wagyu beef skewer. The sushi was also fresh and delicious. These are all apetizers but easily made a nice shared meal. We felt thoroughly spoiled by the staff. We have returned many times since. Buddah has become our favorite restaurant and my first choice on date night out."

"Excellent food and service. Great variety of different items to choose from. My wife and her friend could not stop talking about the "incredible" drink with cucumber and the one with blackberries. We all especially loved the mussels and the filet. Nick our waiter was very knowledgable and friendly. We recommend this restaurant and will be back next week."

"There aren't many restaurants that have everything going for them but Buddha Sky Bar does. As a first time diner, I enjoyed every moment here. The service was fantastic. My server was friendly and took care of everything I needed. The food was to die for. The drinks were delicious. The atmosphere was something different and I think everyone should experience it. I will definitely be going back here, especially for the incredible happy hour, that the greeter told us about on our way out."
