I am not sure why we had such a bad experience here with all the great reviews. The service was nice but the food was terrible. We usually love vegan Chinese food and eat out regularly. We ordered a large range of dishes from the menu. Our mixed starter had tofu that was still frozen in the middle, a ginger flavoured meat that was inedible, and a beef style meat that was tasteless a far too dry. Then we had the beef noodle soup which tasted like they had poured water over vegan meat and noodles. The other dishes we ordered were usually our favourite dishes that we’ve eaten in many other restaurants including tofu basil. However the dishes served in this restaurant were poorly made and tasteless. This restaurant was awful compared to other restaurants we have eaten in.
My family is always love to buy take out of their cha~siu. It is my first time dine~in in the restaurant. The place is very comfortable, love their company name and the lotus are printed on the chairs. Their cha~siu is one of our favorite place to visit. The other do from our meal is above standards. The ho~fun with beef taste is very good. The better if the egg noodles can make it more crunchy. The dumplings are good, but personal preference the sauce is a bit too sour for me. If you like deep fried food, you will like the bean curd. Overall this is a good choice for vegetarians.
Amazing restaurant! So many creative and impeccably executed dishes. The vegetarian pork was sooo good as was every other meat imitation product in the appetizer plate we ordered. So great to enjoy these dishes as a vegan!!!! The space is beautiful too. We will certainly be back!
Lovely local cafe with very soothing and relaxing music. Lots of vegetarian options.
Let me start by saying that this is the BEST Chinese restaurant we have ever been to. My family and I are all vegetarians, and we try to find Chinese restaurants wherever we travel. Bodhi Village has exceeded our very high expectations. Yuki, the waitress, is incredibly kind and attentive. She made sure our order was exactly as we wanted it and checked on us the right amount (gave us space while making sure we had all the water and condiments we could ask for). The food was not oily, and had a great balance of veggies and noodles/rice. The spice is buildable, so you'll be sure to have something you can handle (or that can challenge you). This will be my new go-to spot when I am in NYC!
Excellent love it great food
Delicious vegetarian Buddhist-Chinese cuisine, in a touchingly peaceful and beautifully decorated restaurant space. We really enjoyed the different mock-meats, especially the mock-bbq pork and the fried bread (which might have been a mock-fried cutlet). The veggie sushi was also wonderful,:we got the volcano roll which was topped with mango and had some fried stuff (pineapple?) around the side. Really great stuff, definitely worth a visit.
Good vegetarian food. Good service too.
High quality vegetarian restaurant, with the nicest wait staff this side of Flushing. The corn and spinach soup is a must get. The combination platters for appetizer are excellent. Great place to go for a big family gathering.
Manager is soo rude she don’t know how to deal with costumers. We are visit like twise a month what other staff deal with us very nicely bt today she’s show us attitude ??????
