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.

I thought some of the food was amazing, the sesame chicken and spring rolls were the best I've probably ever had. There was a lychee drink (I forget the name) that was also really nice. I wish I could take more time to explore the menu, especially because the food was comparatively cheap. Having said that, I was with some french inlaws and they didn't like the food. They were also quite traumatized by the service, which I would describe as New York plus Chinatown style. The servers were terrible at answering questions, some of them didn't seem to understand a lot of English, they were impatient and at times rude. I think you are expected to know how ordering works and if you don't, then tough luck. The bathroom was pretty horrible, which is not something I like to see in a food establishment (do the kitchen staff use that bathroom?!). The restaurant looks a little scabby from the outside and resembles a fairly cheap restaurant inside, including the chairs, tables and glassware etc. It was quite loud inside, but this was due to other patrons rather than loud music etc. My partner is vegetarian but she didn't like the food much because it is made to look and taste like meat. Things on the menu are described as 'beef' or 'duck' but everything is made with meat substitutes. I thought it was pretty clever but some vegetarians may not be into it. Overall it was a fairly disastrous dinner and I have been chided for it ever since by my inlaws. If you are looking for a fancy, quiet or sophisticated dinner go elsewhere. If you are looking for a culinary and cultural experience then this place will be great, especially if you know your way around a Chinese menu. p.s. If you tip with cash make sure your waiter gets them directly and not the grumpy old guy who clears the tables.

Casual vegan spot. Friendly service. Great food! We got the sesame chicken, general Tso chicken, fried rice, dim sum sampler, and tofu cheesecake! My favorite was the fried rice! The sesame chicken was also very good. Well, everything was good! And vegan :) The staff was very friendly and the bathrooms were clean! Would definitely come back here again!!

Do not hesitate. Even if your friends are meat eaters and/or dim sum fanatics. the offerings are freshly made and delicious, and lack for nothing. Extremely satisfying food, a sparkling clean place, and the service is prompt and actually welcoming (a rarity for NY's Chinatown). My European friends were duly impressed, as it is the rare restaurant variety that they can't find easily over there. Go!

As much as I appreciated the novelty of a kosher vegetarian restaurant with the added benefit of many gluten-free options, there was no getting over the fact that all of the dishes we ordered were remarkably flavor-free as well. There’s absolutely no need for a kosher vegetarian restaurant not to have great spicing and copious umami, but for whatever reason everything we tried was breathtakingly bland. The stir fried bok choy had no salt/soy sauce or garlic, the spinach & mushroom and won ton soups had the joy sucked out of them, and the chow fun was no fun at all. While no other restaurant in Chinatown may be both kosher and gluten-free, there’s little doubt that a more pleasurable meal could have been had at any of them.

Restaurant was having a bad day- kitchen backed up and we waited 30 minutes for a table when we had a reservation. We made sure we ordered as soon as the waiter came because it took about 10 minutes for the waiter to come once we sat down. Food was really tasty and will go back with the expectation that I can't be in a rush.

We ordered 2 entrees, Sesame Chicken and Orange Beef, that appeared and tasted identical. Breaded and fried seitan. The other apps were mostly seitan as well. Flavors were good, but disappointed that so much of the food tasted the same. Had a stomach ache all day so I think I might be gluten intolerant.

The food here is outstanding. Some of our many all time favorites are: "shrimp" dumplings, Cantonese style dumplings, pan fried turnip cake, watercress dumpling, shui mai, ginger pine nut rice (we get it EVERY time), mushroom & bean sprout pancake, fried eggplant, char siu bao ("pork" buns) BBQ veg meat (will knock your socks off), and the egg custard in pastry. Oh and the tofu "cheesecake" is amazing. There are about 20 more dishes we love! The service and ambiance are your basic Chinatown experience (good enough). But you're here for the food! BYOB.
