My family and I recently had dinner at the reopened location and were delighted. The food was delicious! I am vegetarian but most of my family is not and they were very pleased at the quality and taste of all of their entrees. The portobello mushroom dish with Chinese vegetables was my favorite. The service was quick and we had... More

This is a review of the Chinatown location at 5 Mott Street. I'm a vegetarian so it is so much fun to go to a restaurant like Buddha Bodai and order away without worry. The menu is huge, In addition to the usual suspects like sesame "chicken" there are more unusual things like "jelly fish" appetizer (actually really really good)... More

I had a yen for my favorite, the orange "chicken" with brown rice and broccoli, and eagerly awaited the return of this restaurant after being closed by the DOH several months ago. I went during lunch and... More

I think this is the best vegetarian restaurant restaurant in NYC, much better than the ones in Manhattan. Very healthy food and well worth a try iif you are a vegetarian. Lunch special and the three dish with rice is a great value. More

We were wondering why the parking lot was empty when we arrived for a dim sim lunch the other day. Sad to say the Department of Health had shut Buddha Bodai down. We were shocked that Buddha Bodai had failed its latest inspection. The food used to be good here. More

The food was below avg, not fresh, and the waitress always tries to sell you the left over dim sum dishes. The price was terrible, they over charge customers on their winter melon soup. They said its kosher, but its not. Would NOT ever go there again. More
