Happy Buddha Kitchen 素缘

I brought my picky a** non vegan parents and they loved it!! Lemongrass chicken tomyum soup Blew them away! But honestly they are considering to eat more vegetarian 🥹

We had a fantastic time at this restaurant! The atmosphere was great, the staff was friendly, and the food was delicious. We were served quickly, which made our experience even better.

I have been here multiple times and done takeout many times and every time the food is so delicious! All the food is perfectly cooked and the gentleman who greets you is so friendly and welcoming. This is the perfect place to get some vegetarian soup and other Asian dishes. I highly recommend and will be coming back many times.

Bonus: They even gave us a free little dessert when we dined in and it was really good too!

Lots of our food was tepid, it seemed like it had been reheated in a microwave. Rice was sad and dry. There are better spots in sgv for buddhist vietnamese.

This restaurant has amazing service! We had a birthday party and they played the Happy birthday song on their speakers for us. They also helped us serve the birthday cake. Very pleased with the service. They came back occasionally to ask how we were doing. All staff were smiling and seemed genuinely happy to be help. The food was very delicious. Tasted similar to actual meat dishes. The claypot pepper fish was perfect. Not oily or overly salty like some other places.

Lemongrass chicken was the bomb! I actually thought it was chicken before remembering they don't serve any meat. The texture and taste were actually better than the ones made with meat. Glad to save some animals by not eating meat this meal. Heard it's also better for the environment to save water.

Had a great time eating with friends at Happy Buddha Kitchen. It was busiwr than normal during the Mid-Autumn Festival but still had excellent service. Really liked their salt and pepper chicken. It was done just right. Egg Rolls were super yummy too. I think there's taro inside. These definitely keep me coming back. Parking was easy.

I eat meat but my partner is vegetarian and this is a great Vietnamese restaurant for regular meals that I look forward to eating.

Super friendly service, fast and nice atmosphere Updated from previous review on 2024-09-01

As a non-vegetarian, all the foods were surprisingly good to me! Love the shrimp & pork rolls and shredded pork rolls! Salt and pepper pork and mini crepes are also delicious! The seasonings are well balanced and they taste like real meat. It wouldn't have occurred to me before trying Happy Buddha Kitchen that I could enjoy vegetarian food so much. 12/10 recommended!
