    Stopped by on a Sunday for lunch. It was super busy and a bit hectic, but in a good energy way. We ordered 6 dishes off the dim sum menu for 2 people and it was satisfying. The food came out super fast and everything was tasty. Prices aren’t bad either

    Buddha Bodai is a must try for vegetarians and meat eaters alike! High quality food for a great deal. I recommend ordering servers entrees to share with the table so you get to try everything!

    The staff were very nice and helpful. They offered explanation of what are the most popular items. The food was excellent. Also, we spilled water on the ground and they cleaned it immediately. Serving was very quick. And we had a view of the street too.

    Bodai is a food haven for vegans, but even non-vegetarians can enjoy its planet-friendly delicacies. My wife and I can never get tired of dining there. Their chicken curry, fishballs, lamb stew, and a variety of noodle dishes are savory and satiating. I strongly recommend this gem of a restaurant to my fellow vegans and non-vegans. There is plenty of mouthwatering dishes for everyone.
