Potala seems to have reopened with Tenzin as Shangri-La Buddha just down the street, next to la vals pizza.

Best place, for wholesome whole foods that feel good energy was put in to it and effort. I wish I could eat like this everyday, I and the world would be a better place. Soo good. Thank you

I am heartbroken that Potala continues to be closed with no communication about what is happening. Tenzin and Paldon, I am so hoping that you are well and planning to reopen. But in the meantime-- Attention all you Potala lovers! Did you know you can order to-go at Shangri-La Vegan, its sister restaurant(s) in Oakland? Just as delicious, vegan and vegetarian, and even BETTER right now because they are open! Here's an example of tonight's delectable grounding menu: * MIXED BEAN W/ VEGGIE SOUP * LONG GRAIN BROWN RICE * PINTO BEAN W/ ONION GARLIC * BAKED YAM BUTTERNUT SQUASH KABOCHA * COLLARD GREEN W/ SHIITAKE MUSHROOM ONION SAUCE * MIXED SALAD W/ BEET LEMON AGAVE DRESSING Desserts of chocolate, lime and coconut pie are available, and a selection of Kombucha. I tried the Ginger Berry and it was wonderful. Let's support Shangri-La and help keep it open! Website is Hours are Mon-Sat (closed Sun) 11-3 and 4:30-8. There are two Oakland locations so a tip is to confirm you're ordering from the location you intend to pick-up from. Enjoy! And hoping to see everyone at Potala again some day soon ...

Absolutely love this place the steaks are amazing worth the price without a doubt! I love the live music while i eat as well me and my girl friend used to come here all the time when we were able to afford it and now that we are back on top definitely plan to visit soon! One word of advice to wait staff tho when some one orders a bottle of dom dont come back to make sure they no the price lol that happened to me wich is why i took off a star lol if i order something its probably safe to assume i can afford it lol

My favorite menu here is black bean noodle. It wasn't good when I tried about 2 years ago. When I ordered it today, I was very surprised. The level of sweetness and amount of onion was well balanced. They must have changed the chef.I still think that Dragon Chinese restaurant in LA has the best black bean noodle. But, I am coming back to this place again cause it's the best one in La Crescenta area.

Wholesome, delicious food. I always leave feeling satisfied and healthy. The food looks simple, but it's full of flavor.

I have eaten here over the years with my family. We call the chef the "vegetable whisperer" because we have never had such beautifully cooked vegetables in our lives. The soup they serve is incredible and even though I cook I don't think I could duplicate what they do. This is healthy but delicious food and very worthwhile.

The food's good. Can't decide what to eat? No problem. The only choice you'll need to make is small or large.

Amazing healthy food. Pregnant and craving their delicious meals, can't wait for Potala to reopen!

Great food. The only reason I give 4 stars is because it's a bit pricey for the portion size. But I love this place. Been going for years.

Awesome food! Easy choice, 1 dish per day, large or medium... and the deserts are extra special with wonderful flavors, all made in house.

Great food at a great price. Friendly service. Lunch menu changes daily. Dining room could use a refresh, and the prices reflects this.

I just tried this place today and I'm so impressed. The place is so clean and they're professional. I feel like the food is light and you feel like you're eating gourmet!!!

Excellent food but the menu is always the same. I eat there once or twice a month. Service is great. Consider adding dessert as vegan cheese is always a good option to finish a light meal.
