I ate here for lunch with a group of people, none vegan except for me, and everyone loved our shared meal. I've traveled and worked in China a lot, and this place smelled and felt and tasted like places in China. We all sat at a round table with a lazy Susan in the middle, where we could all rotate the dishes to ourselves. The menu was quite extensive, and so it took awhile to choose what we all wanted. The Eggplant was super colorful as well as tasty. The Sesame "Chicken" was a good mix of textures and colors. And the other dishes were also well-presented and flavorful. The atmosphere was a bit stark, despite the colored lights and video screens of beautiful sea creatures -- yet quiet and peaceful.

At the beginning I confused this is the same bodhi as the one in downtown Manhattan , turns out they are two different owner, the Manhattan bodhi is more Hong Kong style, here everything tastes amazing😄and reminds me about Taiwan , truly thankful :)
Dim sum is from 11am to 3 pm

I decided to try this place because of all the great reviews, but wow. What a disappointment. From the moment we walked in, the hostess seemed completely overwhelmed, which was odd because the restaurant was only half full. Still, we were patient. But then we sat there for at least 10 minutes. No menus, no water, no acknowledgment. Just… nothing. When we finally got to order, we went with the Buddhist Delight and a rice roll. And then we waited. And waited. Over 30 minutes passed, and meanwhile, larger tables that arrived after us were already getting their food. When I asked about our order, I was basically brushed off like it didn’t matter. Maybe because we were just two people, and they prioritized bigger parties? When the food finally showed up, the Buddhist Delight was laughable. 2 tiny pieces of tofu, one mushroom, and the rest, vegetables. The flavor was mediocre. Comparable to what I can get at a Chinese American restaurant. And for $20? What a joke. To top it all off, the service was completely inattentive the whole time. I really wanted to like this place, but between the slow service, the disappointing food, and the overall experience, I won’t be coming back. Definitely not worth the hype.

I love this place! The food is really great for a vegetarian restaurant. Try the chicken corn soup or the roast pork. Even the chicken lomein is tasty!

Wow!
We came here on a trip to NY and my entire family was blown away! My kids literally fell in love with chinese restaurants here.
Firstly, the restaurant is huge, and beautiful. There is plenty of space for kids to play or move around and there is nice music playing and fountains, just gorgeous.
The food is what makes this place. It is very similar to the menu and flavors of Buddha Bodai in Chinatown.
The BBQ Meat is our favorite and it's spectacular. Friends of mine who have tasted actual pork swear it tastes like the real thing. We also had the sesame chicken which is sweet and excellent, and my daughter was eating it like candy. The Lamb in garlic sauce is savory and filled with flavor and the textures ore great. Lastly, we had the Honk kong Soy Sauce Noodles which were okay, but not wuite as good as the other dishes we tried.
We got Our lunch specials it came with piping hot bowls savory bols of Hot n Sour Soup and the kids loved the egg rolls. For 12 bucks, the lunch special is still a steal.
The service was great and I think the only things that could imporve the experience would be fortune cookies at the end, otherwise it was a meal that dream are made of.
I can;t wait for our next visit!

Not for nothing but I prefer the old place that was located on Main Street closed to Booth. This one is new but the menu or the owner is the same. They're not as good as the old one. Specially the food. Miss the old one. The food had a different flare and authentic favors. ?
Vegetarian options: Everything that you eat is basically plant based. Nothing is meat. It may look like chicken, fish or pork but it's not. Frankly it is probably the best food if you want to diet. It's extremely healthy. Try it. You may like it. And it's Kosher.

There’s a cafe at the front of this restaurant, and even though I’ve been to many cafes across the city to study in the past, this one is definitely my favorite! The atmosphere is always really nice – it’s never too loud, the drinks are great, the Wi-Fi is fast, there are plenty of outlets, and there’s lots of natural light. It’s basically the ideal study spot. I’m a student, and I self studied here almost every day for a month while preparing for the SAT, and thanks to the perfect environment, I was able to score a 1570!! There are usually others working in the cafe as well, but it never gets too crowded. The customer service is also excellent, and I’ve brought my friends here for the cafe; they all agree it’s a great place to study!

Light food. Not end up feeling heavy even when you order typical Chinese food. The cooking seems extra special.

They speak cantonese and mandarin here. Came here Wednesday w 3 people. No wait. Staff was nice.
Best mock meat you'll find in nyc for Chinese food. The vegetarian general tsos was 99% just like chicken.
Drinks were a little weird. Had a weird floral or medicinal aftertaste. We got the sodas.
