Nice bowls, friendly staff - Edit
Got a sweet chilli tofu bowl from here and it was very nice. Lots of different bowls to choose from, lots of extra toppings to add if desired and the staff are really friendly.

Reminds me of the make your own salad bars in NYC - only vegan! - Edit
Each bowl is a heaping hearty serving of vegan goodness. You can make your own or choose from their menu. It was easy to go soy and gluten-free making my own and easy to keep it high raw. I couldn’t finish it, there’s so much food. All for $11. Plus 10% of their Garden Bowl sales go to an animal charity. Right on.
Read moreThey have soups and wraps and breakfast stuff too. This cafe is counter service and served in compostable paper bowls. BUT bring your utensils and drinking bottle because those items are petro plastic (haven’t we phased that out in CA yet?!?).
Pros: Lots of food!, Cheap, Fully vegan
Cons: Plastic utensils and cups, Need more soy-free “protein” options

My favorite spot. Perfect place for anyone on a Whole Foods, plant-based diet. - Edit
Allison and her staff are very knowledgeable in the plant based game. I am an active plant based omnivore and this place is legit. I eat here everyday(not an exaggeration). Bodhi bowl is, so to speak, my personal chef. If you haven’t tried Bodhi bowl, well.... you’re missing out. real sustainable food. Thanks Bodhi bowl for being so awesome!
Read morePros: Absolutely delicious & super healthy!!!!!, Customer service is on point! !!!!, Cheap, delicious, and ALWAYS consistent!!!!!!
Cons: None at all!

Delicious + cheap - Edit
I found this place through Happy Cow and decided to give it a try when I was in DTLA. For the price you pay, you get a decent amount of food that fills you up. I got the giving bowl while my boyfriend got the mandala bowl. If I’m ever in the area, I’d definitely come back to this place :)

Delicious, unpretentious, affordable, and healthy, with *no fake meat* : ) - Edit
Casual vegan food at it's absolute best (and I've been a casual vegan for a very long time).
Read moreImagine the Thug Kitchen guy stopped swearing, got really into bowls, and opened a restaurant.
Ali's recipes are creative and diverse. The sauces are absolutely brilliant; flavorful yet perfectly balanced.
Getting food is incredibly quick and there's plenty of space to sit outside. The staff isn't just friendly; they're genuinely kind.
Try the giving bowl.

Affordable and Delicious - Edit
I was surprised that downtown LA didn't have many vegan only places. Searching for options has been somewhat difficult, especially when trying to get some variety. I was soooo excited to see that there was a new place that is completely vegan, and shockingly affordable! I like that the meal portions are also not too much food, I wouldn't be able to stop eating cause it's so delicious, healthy, and fresh. I can't wait to try every single grain bowl on the menu. Thank you so much

A welcome addition to the neighborhood - Edit
As a recent vegan I check out as many new restaurants as possible. I came across Bodhi while on this app and thought I’d give it a try for a lunchtime delivery. Have to say this is now one of my new favorites. The smoothies I had were fresh and not overpowering. The bowls were perfect. A healthy and tasty lunch. The last thing I tried and my favorite was the wrap with the BBQ seitan. Also, the chili was pretty tasty too! We will definitely make this spot a regular stop.
Read morePros: fast and easy , super friendly customer service

yummy and affordable place for vegans ! - Edit
Visiting from out of town and found this brand new vegan restaurant on happy cow! So yummy! I got a build your own bowl with the BBQ ranch. The walnut chorizo and curry chickpeas were amazing! The owner is so friendly and this place has a great vibe. Indoor and outdoor seating. Ingredients are fresh. Would definitely come again! Leaving with a happy full tummy!
