2023-06-11 09:30:16I recently traveled to LA/SGV and discovered Happy Buddha Kitchen, a Vietnamese vegetarian restaurant that has truly impressed me.😋😋 The food is exceptional, with a wide range of flavorful dishes that capture the essence of Vietnamese cuisine. 🫔🥗🍛🥟They recently got a new menu and added tons of options too! The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Their commitment to quality and sustainability is commendable.If youre a vegetarian or a fan of Vietnamese cuisine, this is a must-visit! 🙌👍👍👍👍

2022-09-04 03:24:21Great vegetarian restaurant! Probably the best in town. They have great selection of different food for your like and ranging from authentic Chinese style to Vietnamese style. The chief and owner continuously update their menu with great tasting food. We had Orange Chicken, Beyond Pho, Eggplant with Tofu pot and Egg Rolls for dinner. The service is above and beyond, even a slice of lemon in the tasty iced water! The price is very reasonable consider the current inflation. The majority of the dishes are around $12. Great restaurant and will definitely suggest to everyone vegetarian or not!

2023-09-11 00:57:49Nothing is better than VEGAN pho after mass on a hot Sunday afternoon in sunny California! (I chose the “dac biet” pho, which had mushrooms, Beyond meatballs, vegan ham, & 2 kinds of tofu). To treat myself, I also ate a plate of 5-fried vegan egg rolls filled with veggies & toro ❤️ It was a delicious meal - I recommend this place to my vegan brothers & sisters!!!

2023-02-23 23:25:28First time trying Happy Buddha. All the food is vegetarian even though the names mimic dishes with meat. Food was so amazing and the staff were super nice! I went with a friend. We tried the uber delicious bun bo hue. This is a must try. My friend is Vietnamese and said its better than anything hes had. The lemongrass chicken tasted like real chicken and the sides were great, too. Egg rolls were crunchy on the outside and soft and tasty on the inside. Perfection! Parking was a breeze with the large parking lot and big spaces. Tater tots and waffle fries came in cute holders.I like that they offer really high quality free candy like Hersheys and Reeses. Also, they are running a limited time special to support the Girl Scouts! We got a box of free cookies.Will definitely come again! Thanks for the warm and excellent service.

2021-09-07 04:37:25My family and I are returning customers, as we couldnt resist the absolutely delicious and unique vegetarian restaurants menu!! Today, we ordered favorite past foods such as the Tofu Rolls and Shrimp and Pork Rolls, Rice Noodles, Stir Fried Vegetables, and Combination Pan Fried Rice Noodles, as well as a new dish, Egg Rolls--all were tasty and clean as usual. Also, the customer service there is excellent; they were kind and flexible with orders. Im not a big fan of mint in my spring rolls, so I asked for none. They complied with my wishes with no problem at all, so Im very appreciative of that. 5 stars overall!

2022-03-17 03:20:23This is such a hidden gem in Temple City. Everything we ordered are DELICIOUS. Ive never eaten an egg roll since I dont eat pork. That been said, this is the first-ever egg roll in my life and I LOVE IT! If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, I would choose this taro taste egg roll. The salt and pepper chicken (heard its their new dish) is also super good. Highly recommended for anyone who is vegetarian.

2023-02-24 02:02:28Ive been to Happy Buddha numerous times now and it always delivers. Ive been vegan/vegetarian for 13 years and Ive eaten at countless vegetarian spots (its kind of a hobby of mine), and this spot is one of the few that can incorporate authentic flavors that are dialed in just right, a bright/open/unpretentious atmosphere, and insanely reasonable prices.Fun fact: as part of a vegetarian temple, I often bump into members who have been vegetarian for decades...so yea, this place is onto something lol

2023-10-04 13:33:03The egg rolls are very tasty ... they have a special flavor compared to other places because they have taro inside. Makes me want to go back very soon!

2022-03-20 22:00:08Was looking for a restaurant with healthy, tasty, and vegetarian options. So happy I found Happy Buddha Kitchen. They will make eating more plant based diet so much easier. In Temple City Plaza next to Office Depot and CVS.Love the chill and wholesome ambiance and decor. Music selection was spot on. Like a lot of other people said, the restaurant was very clean. Staff was attentive and came by to check on us on a regular interval.Thai iced tea tasted like the Thai tea I tried in Thailand! Authentic. Super yummy and you can ask for oat milk or almond milk if you prefer.Steamed rice rolls were light and had crunchy egg rolls. Sauce went well with the rice rolls.Bun Bo hue was amazing! So much flavor. Dare say even better than the meat version.Will definitely be coming back soon!

2022-05-10 04:22:14Food was amazing. You don’t have to be vegan/vegetarian to love this place. We tried the fried egg rolls, shrimp & pork rolls (my favorite!!), and tofu rolls as our starters which were delicious with peanut sauce. The main dishes of lemongrass chicken as well as the mixed vegetables pho were both extremely tasty. We’re very pleased with how large and filling the portions were. Kind staff, great location, incredible flavors and reasonable prices. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.
