A rendering of Buddachen’s interior

Jae’s Cafe is no longer, but, next month, Buddachen, an Asian fusion restaurant from the owners of Jae’s will rise in its stead. Though the cuisine was originally going to focus on “New York style Chinese food,” the menu, below, is actually pan-Asian with nods to Japan (O toro tartar), Thailand (chicken satay), and Korea (bi bim bab). A boone for Brooklinians: there will be a lunch box special filled with options from mango chicken to shrimp tempura.
