Buddhist Vegetarian Kitchen

Great authentic Chinese veggies food. Decent taste and unbeatable price compare to other veggie chinese restaurants in the city. But do not expect any services here.

We rarely encounter bad dining experiences but this is one we must share. My family has been a regular here for many decades. We visited this week and were shocked after the change in ownership. The food no longer has the wok hei that it was known for. Very sad as we used to love their vegetarian dishes. Most shocking was the main server/owner. We paid in cash and asked for change so we could tip our desired amount. To our surprise, she yelled at us for requesting for change and assumed we would tip a low amount. She then stormed into the kitchen and talked behind our backs to the kitchen staff, very loudly with the door open so that we could hear her. We still tipped in the end, but this was very disappointing and made for a very uncomfortable and awkward dining experience. As we have restaurant experience, this was really shocking in how they treated guests. Overall, we don't feel that this restaurant lives up to our Buddhist values anymore.

One of my all time favorite restaurants because the food is always delicious (the crispy stuffed fried bean curd sheets is heavenly) AND it’s generally quiet and you don’t have to shout to carry a conversation. The always available mixed “meat” dim sum is also a popular side or snack. Great place for vegan eats.

Food I would give it 3 1/2 Just okay.. The fried rice with fish was the only reason it get 3 star. We order the assort ben curd sheets taste stale. The hot and sour soup taste very vinegary and it have a weird chip in that isn’t typically find in hot and sour soup and it was unedible to drink. Just mediocre and most of the dish was bland. It need more soy sauce or something to flavour the dish. The customer service is awful and rude. The waiter demanded us give them tip more than 10 percent and yelled at us before receiving the bill. The women washroom is antiquated and dark with limited light. I wouldn’t go back to this restaurant and support them. Don’t waste your money because they are better restaurants you can find.

Best fried bean curds in town! Definitely a hidden gem. Ongoing nonstop takeout orders. Food came out fast and delicious. Fried noodle with vegetables must try. Craving for one right now.

Finally write a review for Buddhist vegetarian kitchen. Food: good and delicious. Most dishes Ingredients are similar same just different sauces. Service: not too bad but prefer not just focus on one language. Atmosphere: nothing change at all since I was young to now. Traditional ambience. Note: no dairy products (eggs)

Wonderful that all the food is vegan/vegetarian, but it was very mediocre. Vegetables are fresh but dishes are very bland, not much flavour, and didn’t taste like there was any salt in the food even. The beef texture was quite good however.

Seafood fried rice was a disaster - bland and non-presentable. The chef has no pride in his skill at all. I had to re-cook it again at home with better taste. If the chef has no pride or excellence in his skill, please leave the job (or business). Customers go to eat at your restaurant solely because to expect to get great tasty food and service. Plus, the servers do not know how to smile. This is an honest comment for the owner/chef just so he can improve his skills and work attitudes. Good luck to them.
