Unvergleichbar gut - Edit
Alles was das Restaurant anbietet ist vegan und sensationell lecker. Von 11 bis 16 Uhr zahlt man für ein Hauptgericht 8,95 $. Die Portionen sind groß und machen definitiv satt. Die Bedienungen sind sehr nett, das Essen schnell fertig und der Service zudem noch sehr effizient. Zu Beginn kriegt man gratis eine Kanne Tee und zum Schluss die Glückskekse geschenkt. Die Preise sind sehr günstig und die Qualität hervorragend.

Amazing! - Edit
Great food, with many options. Portion was good, and you get hot tea. The service was quick, but felt like you were in someone’s home.

Great dim sum - Edit
Great vegan dim sum options. We also got a beef dish off the dim sum (not pictured) but I wouldn’t recommend it. The ribs were amazing though.

Chopsticks only 😉 - Edit
Nice meal. Just as good as "the original". Our carnivore friends also enjoyed it. Chopsticks only, she said with a laugh.

Blew me away - Edit
We ordered a ton of stuff off the dim sum menu, and everything was amazing. Our favorites were a sort of rice with “beef” in a lotus leaf and a delicious congee.

Whoa... - Edit
This place is SO GOOD. We got a variety of items off the dim sum menu. They were all unique and delicious. I have been to a couple of veg dim sum places in the past - but this absolutely takes the cake.

Has it been confirmed that it’s fully vegan now, do you know? There has always been confusion about this place, whether it’s fully vegan or just vegetarian.

Yeah, I believe it used to just be vegetarian, and it became fully vegan more recently

Stuff of dreams - Edit
Came here almost three years ago after newly becoming vegan and have been thinking about it ever since. The staff is so friendly and the food is out of this world good. Everything is always so hot and fresh and fully of flavor. This trip we came during lunchtime so we could order more of the lunch specials and not waste lots of food! I have a feeling I will be dreaming about this lunch until our next NYC visit!

A wonderful spot - the portions were generous and the bill pretty cheap. Vegans (and others), you have to run there! Save me some mapo tofu :)

Amazing vegan dim sum - Edit
We'd been wanting to eat at Bodhi Kosher Vegetarian for a few years and it made our vegan dim sum dreams come true! Everything was so delicious! My partner loved the cha shui bao. Three of us shared 7 small plates and were able to finish everything but were very full. We look forward to eating at Bodhi Kosher Vegetarian next time we are in NY.
Read moreUpdate 12/19/2023: We went again and I tried the steamed soup dumplings for the first time. So delicious. I think steamed soup dumplings are my new favorite!

Perfection - Edit
This is my favorite restaurant in NYC. The classic, low-key Chinese restaurant setting and affordable prices are almost misleading for how superb the food is.

Wonderful Vegan Journey - Edit
My Bodhi adventure was an absolute delight! It all began with a complimentary warm teapot, a gesture that set the tone for the evening. Exploring their extensive regular menu and dim sum menu was a joy, especially knowing that everything was vegan.
Read moreI opted for a variety:
Sticky Rice Shumai ($5.25), a pleasant surprise with its crunchy texture and vibrant flavors, truly a dish to remember.
Cha Shui Bao - Steamed Veg Meat Bun ($5.95), with its cloud-soft bun, was delightful, although the filling lacked flavor.
Steamed Home Dumpling - GF ($5.95), generously packed with veggies, was good but didn't quite steal the show.
Then there was the Special BBQ Veg Meat ($8.95)! It was more than just a dish; it was a trip down memory lane. I hadn't tasted something so reminiscent of my childhood in ages. With the first bite, nostalgia washed over me, and I was almost brought to tears. It's astounding how food can transport us to moments wrapped in love and comfort. I would order this again in a heartbeat.
Bodhi also offers gluten-free options, and boasts friendly service. It offers a heartwarming, belly comforting, not breaking the bank, food-venture!
*watch me eat my way through Bodhi: https://youtu.be/wFJIqVD3YTU
Pros: Expansive Menu, Vegan Dim Sum, Gluten-Free Options
