The Best Vege Restaurant in NYC - Edit
This establishment is run by the original creator/owner of Buddha Bodai on Mott Street [which was taken over by his landlord in a hostile fashion]. The karma is much better here,at 77 Mulberry Street. The food is as delicious as ever. Exceedingly friendly and helpful staff.

I've missed dim sum so much! - Edit
I haven’t had Dim Sum in years, so I was so excited to find this little gem! Their BBQ “meat” is totally delicious and there’s a great selection of vegan dim sum and other classic Chinese options. Cheap food, friendly atmosphere, and delicious flavors. Will definitely be visiting again!

So many excellent choices! - Edit
Came here with an omni friend and he loved it! I’m a huge fan of fake meat, so I was in heaven here. Love the bbq. The dumplings are also amazing. It’s pretty cheap, so you can order a ton of dishes and enjoy family style. Good for groups.

Vegan Dim Sum Heaven! - Edit
As someone who grew up with Dim Sum, I was sad when becoming vegan also meant parting with one of my cherished gathering activities. I don't have similar options where I live, but on a recent trip to NYC I got to try this place, and I'm so so happy! Food was flavorful, true to the originals, and I eat happily not having to ask or wonder whether each dish inadvertently has meat "hidden." The staff there are so kind and helpful.

Pros: Dim sum - but vegan!, Delicious, Nice staff

Incredible! - Edit
We got to this buddha bodai because the other one was full...boy were we happy when we arrived and found this bodai to be warmer, friendlier and less crowded which created a nice environment for us to just sit and enjoy the food. We had chick'n chowfun, some general tso chik'n ...tried many dumplings and fried rolls ..it was a true feast. The plates were generous and so flavorful...I cant wait to go back!
Read morePros: Large plates, Endless vegan mock meat choices, Very affordable

Great lunch spot - Edit
I like to order take-out from Buddha (both Buddhas, Mott and Mulberry) for lunch. The seating and decor is nice and staff are great for eating-in as well but I do love the lunch specials!

Great menu - Edit
All vegan extensive menu at a great price (especially at lunch time, it's like 8 bucks). I ate there 5 times during my 2 week stay in NYC :D Non-veg boyfriend loved it as well, he wouldnt believe the chicken was faux at first.

Wow amazing Chinese food! 2 vegans, 2 veggies and 2 omnis left here happy! - Edit
Excellent meal for 6 whilst on our short NYC trip. Researched before hand on happy cow, personal recommendations and trip advisor and came across this place by accident. We were all very happy with our food. Only problem was that we ordered too much! They will pack it up though if there is anything left and we gave it to a homeless person.
Read morePros: Gorgeous food, Copies of meat and fish dishes. , Good value.
Cons: Large portions (only con I can think of!)

Completely Vegan and well worth the trip - Edit
This place is completely vegan. I eat here every time I am in the city. It is well worth the trip to ChinaTown. My non-vegan friends love every dish. Good service with great use of spices. Great selection from Chinese dishes to dim sum to sushi.......all Vegan. My wife and kids love this place too. Highly recommended if you are looking for great quality all vegan Chinese food.

Tasty dimsum - Edit
Fantastic that all menu is suitable for vegans. Friendly wait staff. Very easy to over order (most dim sum dishes come with approx 3 pieces). Don’t eat too much here. Save space for the ice cream shop and other eateries nearby!

When I asked if the menu item I ordered was vegan my server said everything is vegan. I had to kinds of dimsum that I can't remember name of and a lunch special. Way too much food but was only 15 bucks. Enough for two meals easily.

So many choices that I asked the waiter to make recommendations. Veg lamb, brown rice and veg soup. Just spicy enough. Very satisfying.

it’s all vegan! - Edit
this place is an overlooked gem in nyc. after talking to our server we learned they changed their menu a while ago & now it’s all vegan! they have vegan sushi, dim sum ( that won top 10 in nyc) & chinese dishes. we had some dim sum (recommend the ‘shrimp’ dumpling & the spinach rice roll) & their laksa (a spicy noodle soup). the laksa was off the chain! it tasted just like i had in singapore! everything we ordered was delicious & the place was packed. the menu is amazing too! you also get little freebies like salted peanuts, tea, orange slices &, of course, fortune cookies. not many restaurants, especially in ny give freebies anymore! this is one of the best vegan places in the city! (not to mention our entire dinner bill was 22$!!)
Read morePros: amazing food!, cheap!, great choices!
Cons: usually there is a wait
