Review: I've been to Bodhi in the Park a few times and I always enjoy it. I prefer Green Gourmet overall but this is a nice alternative. It is a little more expensive but the general vibe of the place is much nicer as well. Especially on a nice day when you can sit outside.
My favourite thing on the menu are the "pork" buns which are so good that even now - living in a different country - I still dream about them!
Definitely worth a visit!
Pros: Steamed buns! * Great View of the park *
Cons: a little pricey * * |

Review: Bodhi's isn't an everyday lunch for most of us -- it is a but pricey for that. But it's situation is fantastic, and the food is really very nice. It's a good place to meet a friend or your partner for a long relaxing lunch. Look out for the steamed veges, though, as there's a preponderance of deep fried goodies that can leave you feeling a bit greasy (as with most yum cha).
Pros: lovely setting * good service *
Cons: a bit $$$ * * |

Review: Bodhi is a great place to come for brunch on the weekend. The atmosphere outside is just lovely and the food is always delicious.
They also serve coffee now, which is great if you are craving caffeine.
We had our wedding reception here and it was just perfect. They were so helpful and it was incredibly cheap.
Pros: All vegan * Delicious food * Great for groups
Cons: Can be a little pricey - around $20 pp. * Staff tend to forget your drink orders * |

Review: I didn't get there for Yum Cha which sounds great. Instead we went for dinner. Is lovely sitting in the park and eating. My friend and I had veggie kebabs and tempura mushroom for entree. They were ok, how can you go wrong with tempura mushrooms, but the sauce seemed a little out of a bottleish. Then we ordered their two most expensive mains, the Crispy Duck and the Pork Belly. They were beautifully presented, particularly the Pork Belly, but the flavours were just a little lacking. The side salads were iceberg lettuce, carrot and bean sprouts with a very subtle almost undetectable dressing, which was pretty unadventurous and did nothing to accentuate the meal. I might recommend they use some red cabbage, mixed leaf and maybe something interesting like coriander in their side salads, and find a more interesting dressing...it shouldn't just be plate filler. The pork belly itself was ok but tasted a bit like stacked pancakes. The crispy duck was good, but again nothing adventurous.
I don't regret visiting, the staff were lovely and the setting is great. Nice place for a date, but thus far I didn't think there was enough complexity to the flavours of the food. Will head back for Yum Cha though, as I can't resist it and will maybe write another review :)
Pros: Scenery * Staff * Presentation
Cons: Flavours fairly bland * * |

• Hi Camerongreen, I found your review interesting. I've never come across a vegan pork belly before! In my opinion these wierd fake meats aren't usually as good as the simple stuff.. response by Jeffrey

Review: We have been to Bodhi a few times for weekend yum cha in the past. We liked the food but thought that it was quite expensive. And there was no way of keeping track of how much the individual dishes cost.
A couple of weeks ago we tried Bodhi for "a la carte" dinner for the first time and I don't think we'll be going back.
The dishes were well presented but they tasted disappointing. And the food was really expensive.
We went for an early dinnner so our party of three was the only guests. Still one dish was served about 10 minutes before the two other dishes and the rice. Even asking 3 times for the rice to be served didn't speed things up.
The outdoors setting of the restaurant is nice but overall Bodhi is not overwhelming.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

Review: Somewhat pricey for dinner, only a few options, however, great food once you get it, can take it's time sometimes. The food tastes great, so that makes up for it, nice setting, relaxing (located right next to the entrance to Cook & Phillip Park Pool). The lunch is good, however, you don't know what you're going to get, perhaps good to ask prices or questions as the waiters don't mind. Sometimes it is a good idea to miss a couple and have the nicer tasting onces! Experience is the key (lucky I went with some which knew what was good!).

Review: Went here with a group, so I didn\'t have to order anything. Can\'t comment on past reviewers and their views on how the ordering worked... But the food was outstanding. Really delicious overall, with about 8 different dishes sampled. Truly top notch Asian fare on every level.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |
