Food was amazing. You don’t have to be vegan/vegetarian to love this place. We tried the fried egg rolls, shrimp & pork rolls (my favorite!!), and tofu rolls as our starters which were delicious with peanut sauce. The main dishes of lemongrass chicken as well as the mixed vegetables pho were both extremely tasty. We’re very pleased with how large and filling the portions were. Kind staff, great location, incredible flavors and reasonable prices. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.
This is such a hidden gem in Temple City. Everything we ordered are DELICIOUS. I've never eaten an egg roll since I don't eat pork. That been said, this is the first-ever egg roll in my life and I LOVE IT! If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, I would choose this taro taste egg roll. The salt and pepper chicken (heard it's their new dish) is also super good. Highly recommended for anyone who is vegetarian.
Was looking for a restaurant with healthy, tasty, and vegetarian options. So happy I found Happy Buddha Kitchen. They will make eating more plant based diet so much easier. In Temple City Plaza next to Office Depot and CVS.Love the chill and wholesome ambiance and decor. Music selection was spot on. Like a lot of other people said, the restaurant was very clean. Staff was attentive and came by to check on us on a regular interval.Thai iced tea tasted like the Thai tea I tried in Thailand! Authentic. Super yummy and you can ask for oat milk or almond milk if you prefer.Steamed rice rolls were light and had crunchy egg rolls. Sauce went well with the rice rolls.Bun Bo hue was amazing! So much flavor. Dare say even better than the meat version.Will definitely be coming back soon!
Delicious Asian, vegetarian dishes. The food was very flavorful and balanced. The fish sauce and peanut sauce added a lot of character to the spring rolls. The fried Satan (salt and pepper chicken) was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The lemongrass chicken (in pic) was also soft and juicy. Portions were generous too
I was recommended to happy Buddha kitchen by my friend . This is the first time I’m here . And I like the noodle soup so much . I’m gonna try all the dishes here one by one in future. Fully recommend it to everyone who love vegetarian food .
Excellent taste! I love the menu offerings and the impossible pho was delicious! But the best were the egg rolls! Omg! Tasted just like non-vegan and comes with a vegan fish sauce which was excellent too. I love the different sauces they had on the table. The only thing we were disappointed with was the lemon something boba. I would skip the boba. Not their specialty. Good service, clean place, nice ambience. Overall a good experience.
Been here a couple times now and everything I've tried has been great. If you're looking for a surprising experience, then this is the place! If your looking to try something new, try the clay pot fish or lemongrass chicken you won't believe how similar the flavors and texture is. The staff was attentive and friendly. Overall, great food and great service. I'll definitely be back soon.
What a pleasant surprise to find Happy Buddha Kitchen! Each dish was spectacular and full of vegetarian goodies! I mean talk about value for your money paired with deliciousness!!! Absolutely in love with this place and will be a repeat customer! ??Thank you for making such great replicas of good wholesome Vietnamese dishes! Likely the BEST vegetarian Bun Bo Hue I have tasted by far!!! Literally A-MAZING! ? Also at the end of the meal, they give a complimentary “tong shui” Chinese “sugar water” dessert but the healthy kind with red beans, seaweed, and a bunch of other herbs! Did I mention how CLEAN the restaurant is too?! Wonderful! It is located in a shopping plaza between Office Depot and CVS at the corner of Rosemead Blvd and Broadway Ave - Don’t miss out, COME CHECK IT OUT!
I was craving some vegetarian food and I came upon this gem in the 626! The staff was exceptionally friendly and the food came out quick, hot, and delicious! My friends and I shared the vermicelli with egg rolls + shredded pork and the crispy yellow noodles. They were fantastic and I can't wait to come back to try all the other menu items. I loved how they had a variety of drinks and my favorite had to be their thai tea. The other drinks were amazing as well but the thai tea really hit the spot! I will definitely be back and I highly recommend everyone to check this gem out!Food: 10/10Staff/Service: 10/10Atmosphere: 10/10
Loved this place and they have delicious vegetarian Vietnamese food! The restaurant was very clean, staff were so friendly and even gave a small free dessert! I was surprised to hear they have only been open for 2 months, the food was great and they seem to be doing really well! We went at 1pm and several tables were full.Beef pho - the beyond beef in here was SO GOOD, I wish there was more of it! I also loved the tofu skin. It was so filling!Shredded pork spring rolls - also delicious, loved the vegetarian fish sauce.
