I stop here for food every time I pass through Salem over tge last several years. This is probably my 6th time eating here and I must say the Buddha bowl is something I look forward to. Clean and healthy food. Definitely recommend.

I looooved this place. I had the Swami Bowl, and added whipped sweet potato. I also had a Rainbow Nori Wrap, with a Strawberry Bliss Smoothie. Everything is always fresh, and service is always helpful and friendly.
October 2025
Food was delicious and great prices for the food they serve. Really disappointed to see the kitchen staff on their phones and not changing gloves in between handling food. Was very disappointed in seeing that several times during my meal, and the chef also had their apple/samsung watch on which is FDA prohibited.
