“ As a nonvegetarian, all the foods were surprisingly good to me! Love the shrimp pork rolls and shredded pork rolls! Salt and pepper pork and mini crepes are also delicious! The seasonings are well balanced and they taste like real meat. It wouldnt have occurred to me before trying Happy Buddha Kitchen that I could enjoy vegetarian food so much. 1210 recommended! ”

“ Had a great time eating with friends at Happy Buddha Kitchen. It was busiwr than normal during the MidAutumn Festival but still had excellent service. Really liked their salt and pepper chicken. It was done just right. Egg Rolls were super yummy too. I think theres taro inside. These definitely keep me coming back. Parking was easy. ”
“ This is an impressive eatery filled with a variety of delicious eats that will provide your heart with content. My friends and I ordered multiple dishes ranging from chicken to eggplant to even the tater tots and waffle fries. Those tater tots and waffle fries are 1010 cause it smacks. Its a hidden appetizer item that beats out even your favorite fast food restaurant. The chicken is so good I could not tell from my first bite that it was a vegetarian alternative.. thats crazy lol. We also got the green beans but it was devoured on sight because it smelled so good and fresh. I feel like the oil being used here leaves me with a lighter feeling than most restaurants around the area which is a huge plus. I do not feel a food coma as I bounced home. I bought some eggrolls to go with the shrimp and pork and thats definitely one of the items I would come back and try again. Side note, the environment inside is friendly and the staff are helpful! Well lit and no strange smelling odors. I cant wait to bring my family back to try these large dishes! ”
“ Sweet spot for vegetarianvegan vietnamesethai dishes. Everything is non meat. Very pleasantly surprised w the burst of flavors in using non meat and veggie substitutes. Service was quick, efficient, and kind. I ordered several dishes 1. Summer Rolls with shredded pork Its generously rolled w pork and nice veggie ratio. Its one of the better vegetarian summer rolls. Highly recommend! 2. Goi Salad w mushrooms Fresh and bursting w flavors. The mushrooms were sauteed and seasoned well. Refreshing light salad. 3. Vermicelli w shredded pork, sliced pork, egg rolls, and veggies The sliced pork had a beef jerky texture and tasted delicious. It loaded w veggies and salad. The egg rolls were flaky and crispy. Highly recommend! Very impressed, everything was made with no meat but didnt sacrifice texture or flavor. ”
“ Lemongrass chicken was the bomb! I actually thought it was chicken before remembering they dont serve any meat. The texture and taste were actually better than the ones made with meat. Glad to save some animals by not eating meat this meal. Heard its also better for the environment to save water. ”
“ I have been here multiple times and done takeout many times and every time the food is so delicious! All the food is perfectly cooked and the gentleman who greets you is so friendly and welcoming. This is the perfect place to get some vegetarian soup and other Asian dishes. I highly recommend and will be coming back many times. Bonus They even gave us a free little dessert when we dined in and it was really good too! ”
