This Asian fusion restaurant is set in an awe-inspiring 16,000 sq ft/1,486 sq m of space. The large baroque dining room downstairs, with large chandeliers and large communal tables, seems right out of a Dickensian dream sequence. The dim sum is excellent, and the noodle and rice dishes are a great deal. Daily for dinner. Reservations recommended. $$-$$$. 75 Ninth Ave., between 15th and 16th streets (subway line A, E or C to 14th Street), Manhattan, New York City. Phone 212-989-6699. http://www.buddakannyc.com.
