This place was really cool! I love the wide array of vegan options and how there are some hard to find Asian dishes offered vegan here!! I loved the barbecue meat chow fun and the shumai! 🥟

BBQ meat chow fun

Actually one of the best vegan General Tso’s I’ve had! The texture was really soft, somehow. Lunchtime special is only $9.50

Tastes exactly like how I remember sweet and sour chicken! The texture is incredible and I love the sauce too. I got this as a lunch special (includes brown/white rice and tofu soup) and the portions were really great for the price!

Loved everything I tried at Budha Bodai. I’m definitely getting back to try the rest of their menu! So many great options. Great place to brunch and good for small or big groups!

Great chewy tofu, almost a similar texture to a mock meat. Classic soy sauce/sesame oil based sauce and very flavorful. You have to order rice separately.

Delicious noodle dish packed with a hearty serving of vegetables. A little greasy but still so good!

Chow Fun with Vegetables

Amazing dish reminiscent of classic Chinese takeout! The noodles are very fun to chew and everything is well seasoned. Only downside is I wish it came with more veggies besides just bean sprouts.

Delicious vegan chicken, perfectly chewy and the black pepper sauce is amazing. Huge portion, definitely enough for leftovers!

I am deeply in love with this dish. It’s just amazing and something you definitely should try! It might seem expensive ( $11.95) but the dish is huge! To share with friends!
