Good Food, Better as Takeout - Edit
Wanted to write a review since it appears to be under new management. The braised tofu skin is delectable as ever, and the fried oyster mushroom is also fantastic. That being said the vibe is a little weird inside the place so I’d recommend getting takeout.

Really fresh - Edit
Pit stop for food. Took 15-20 mins but came out super fresh. Veggies were crisp in a fresh way not overcooked. Pleasantly surprised. Buddhist joint

Don't recommend. Try amituofo in Brooklyn - Edit
Weird atmosphere in the restaurant. Walked in and was greeted by.. a zoom call? The hostess was there digitally via a zoom call. The food is mediocre. For better a better restaurant that has the same food fare, go to amituofo

I had the Singapore Mei Fun, which was tasty and filling. Afterwards, I talked with the owner for a while. She is really sweet. She gives 100 free meals to homeless people every Saturday.

Sesame Chicken - Edit
I’m sad to say I was pretty disappointed by the meal. I got the lunch special (very good price, $8!) and the meat/breading ratio was very poor, sauce seemed low quality, rice seemed a bit undercooked. Health rating currently at a C. I would love to be proven wrong about this place.

Wish I could have had some of the food there however when I arrived after a 20 minute drive there was a health code letter grade C. So I left without entering.

Orange Vege Chicken - Edit
Amitabha Vegan has incredible Chinese food made vegan!
Read moreMy favorite dish is the orange vege chicken. Although I enjoy
the soft and chewy texture of the vege chicken, the orange
sauce is what keeps me ordering again!
Additionally, the prices and portion sizes are hard to beat! It
seems that they even offer half price on everything except
sushi and burgers on select days. I have yet to order during
those days, but I'm keeping an eye on them! I can’t wait to try out their other menu items. 😋
Pros: Great portions, Affordable prices

Eh - Edit
I wanted to love this place but unfortunately I can't. I've ordered twice, both times the order came fast, however it was not my taste. Maybe third time is the charm?

I will stay hopeful - Edit
I have gotten take-out here twice now, both times in the last week or so. I ordered on-line; it was easy. The confirmation tells you the order will be ready in 20-30 minutes.
Read moreThe first time at AV, we ordered their Vegan Burger. It was really delicious. (I think the patty is Beyond Burger.) If you fondly remember the taste of a McDonald’s Big Mac, you will really love this burger. It was hard (and messy) to eat because the burger patty is too thick, but it was still a joy to eat. (If I were preparing the patty myself, I would definitely flatten it.) I will try the Vegan Burger with cheese and french fries next time! I think we waited around 40 minutes before the text message came in letting us know the order was ready for pick-up. That felt a bit too long, but it still seemed reasonable, as it was only 10 minutes more than the high end of the expected wait time.
The second time at AV, we ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice, Stir-fried Mixed Vegetable Plate with Brown Rice, the Steamed Dumplings, and the Avocado Roll.
• I really enjoyed the dumplings.
• The mixed vegetable plate was good, but was around 90% cabbage and maybe bok choi with some small carrot bits and big water chestnut slices. I expected more of a “mix” of vegetables than that. Also, I think there was too much corn starch added for the white sauce; it was too thick and a bit slimy. We loved that it was a low-sodium dish. I did not taste the brown rice.
• The Avocado Roll was horrible, the worst sushi roll I have ever had, I’m sorry to say. The main problem was the rice—it was not thoroughly cooked, so it felt hard and dry in the mouth. I just picked out and ate the avocado and nori. There was also too much rice and much too little avocado. The rice also didn’t look like a sticky sushi rice—it looked like regular white rice—so the pieces didn’t hold together well and crumbled a bit. It was not at all worth the $11.90 it cost.
• The Pineapple Fried Rice was a very good dish! …EXCEPT for the rice not being thoroughly cooked! It was much better after we brought it home and cooked it better.
Our order took 50 minutes to prepare. Considering the stated wait time is 20-30 minutes and that it was a Monday (?) afternoon, that felt much too long. There was no acknowledgment or apology for the delay until I commented on it.
We will go back to AV again, but I will make sure to start placing my order around an hour in advance. …and I will be very wary of ordering anything with rice!

Seitan spot ❤️ - Edit
Lucky they are allowing you to eat inside, but beware it is freezing and not glamorous at all. Food (amazing) is served in to go containers with plastic utensils. Made from scratch dishes that are generous and delicious! Live the seitan!

Consistently delicious, with a very generous menu! - Edit
I daydream about the barbecue roast veggie "pork" appetizer from Amitabha, and often. The restaurant has a sizeable menu and I've enjoyed every dish I've had so far. I've only ordered takeout but the restaurant itself looks comfortable and cozy.
Read morePros: Consistently delicious food., Large and interesting menu., Barbecue roast veggie pork! So good!
