Buddha Lounge, the newest Japanese opening on Staten Island brings us an amazing atmosphere in a very unique location (On the 3rd Floor). From the outside, it is barely noticeable sitting on top of a Sleepie’s and Dunkin Donuts there are two signs stating “Buddha Lounge ” which is easily overlooked. One would never think how finely designed it could be inside until they decide to take the elevator to the third floor.
The Walk-Around: Walking into the Restaurant shines a nice dark crisp atmosphere with two Buddha’s sitting on the opposite sides of each other surrounding the lounge couch which you can relax on if waiting for somebody. Continuing straight ahead we pass a Buddha Stone Wall and a huge Wine Cellar. Soon after planning our entrance to the dining room, we realize how magnificent and thoughtful this place was built, since it sits on a corner the rooms go diagonal from each other while leaving room for another dining area and sushi bar in the middle. The full establishment features Glass with ultra modern designs (metal strings?) separating each room.
Right Diagonal Room: Offers around 8 – 9 Booths separated by entrance or exit to this side’s outdoor dining area. The booths sit on the opposite side of the Bar which has (Eat at Bar Feature) 8 seats. The bar has a very neat and clean design which places a few Buddha’s behind the bar to give the restaurant a bit more flavor while branding their “Buddha Image”. Moving forward to see the outside which inter-vines a few chairs, tables with a Lounge Area on each end of the outside and overlooks the shopping center.
Left Diagonal Room: This side is designed similar to the other side but the bar is replaced with more dining area. There is also an outside area (each side is disconnected from each other), but this area is a lot more simpler (Probably not fully furnished yet).
Center Room: Has the Sushi Bar a large round booth style table and another dining area spanning the full room.
The kitchen is located in the back of all the rooms, there is no walk around since the ends of each room is where the kitchen is attached.
