The Original Buddha Bodai Kosher Vegetarian Restaurant 佛菩提

I am allergic to gluten the people did not know what they were talking about

Quite generous portions. Be careful before you go with multiple plates. Everything we ordered was super delicious. Reasonably priced as well.

Best vegan dim sum, could easily be all vegan menu but a couple of dishes contain egg. The turnip cakes are a highlight.

Amazing vegetarian options!

Our favorite place for Chinese food! Eating here makes you feel great!!!

The food's taste was okay but I got crazy food poisoning from it

Amazing people i've been going to this restaurant since I was eighteen scrounging up my last dollars to get a lunch special. Being a vegetarian is hard to get good food in new york city but this place is my sanctuary . I have introduced my loving wife and now my kids to this restaurant and the owner welcomed my family with open arms i love this place and I will be back for my birthday (lol inside joke )

I ordered the fried rice and spring rolls—super tasty and really good! The rice was just a little bit oily for my taste, but overall it was pretty good. The only downside is that the service can be little rude at times.

I've never been here for dinner, but I love getting to sample so many buns and dumplings and other small bites (on the dim sum menu, almost everything is vegan, and there are a few clearly marked items that contain egg). My favorite dish is the sweet sesame balls for dessert :)

Best fried rice everrr. Have gotten a few other dishes--tried their soup dumplings, which were a worthy effort. But nothing beats their fried rice!!! Such a good lunch deal too.

This restaurant is one of my all time favorites. The dim sum (BBQ Veg. meat, soup dumplings) is very good, they do some great versions of classics and also a few standout dishes that aren't as common, such as Three Cup Chicken, House Special Tofu, (Contains Egg) Laksa Eggplant, and Cedar Tofu. A tip: Pay attention to their specials; the seasonal menu items are usually some of the best things you can order.

Fantastic spot for a fake meat extravaganza. Really diverse menu with so many gems to try. The Laksa soup and black pepper soy chicken are not to be missed!

Amazing food with tons of options (some have eggs or dairy so just make sure). They're doing all sorts of subtitutes like chicken, fish, pork and more. I had the chicken and vegetables in curry with rice which was perfection! It was super packed and with a long wait but probably just because it was Christmas Day. Highly recommended!!

Lots of nice mushroom dishes

Unfortunately we were not welcomed very friendly. We decided to have a lychee ice tea and buns filled with matcha paste. The buns tasted fine and the ice tea was okay but was served in a disposable cup. As far as we are concerned, there are better options in Manhattan with a fully vegan menu for a nice price and atmosphere. Updated from previous review on 2024-10-29
