Exquisite Vegan Dim Sum (Chinese Brunch). - Edit
I had the pleasure of ordering 8 Dim Sum dishes for my birthday last month, and the food experience was amazing.
Read moreThe turnip cakes, "shrimp" rice rolls, and steamed vegan meat buns were my favorite.
Bodhi Kosher does a great job of retaining the flavors from non-vegan dim sum dishes.

Excellent Chinese food! - Edit
This place is great! On our travels, we've found good Chinese food can be hard to find, and my partner isn't usually excited by it, but he loved it here. The fried taro balls, Szechuan beef, shrimp dumplings, laksa, Hong Kong noodles and General Tso's chicken were all tasty and not bogged down in oil. Our non-vegan friend was impressed too. The server was really friendly and funny too. Will definitely be back!

Perfect for my anniversary! - Edit
Went here with my boyfriend for our anniversary! It's his new favorite vegan restaurant of all time! He got the portabella with black pepper sauce. He devoured tons of dumplings and enjoyed himself a lot! I ordered the general tso chickun and had a little bit of the dumplings AND HOLY this place is heaven on earth! You gotta try it! (Just make sure you have a reservation because this place gets packed)

The best Vegan Chinese Food - Edit
They are great. Being a vegan you know how to order vegan Chinese, but this restaurant makes all the dishes the way you remember it before you went vegan. The chefs at this restaurant know what they are doing. The food is tasty, plated well, and all at a great price. I keep on forgetting to take pictures because I am too busy eating.
Read moreGo here! You won’t regret it. Every dish I have tried has been great. I don’t think you can go wrong by ordering something random on the menu.
Pros: Big portions , Great prices , Fast and friendly service

Best budget price food in New York - Edit
I’ve been to a lot of hipster uptight pricey vegan restaurants in the city but this one tops them all for quality over price. It was incredible to see so many cheap items on the menu fir only $5. What’s crazy is how filling the dim sum items are. I ordered medium and it was too filling for me, but goodness it was so tasty. It’s deceiving because the portion sizes are so small but they are nutrient packed and condensed. I felt good after eating the food too, almost as if my body knows that good nutrients are going in my body. The food is simple unintimidating and there’s an incredible variety it’s wild. Try the tofu cheesecake it’s amazing. Their seaweed sesame rolls are a filling yummy healthful appetizer definitely not to eat alone (for a group of three). I loved the Taro and Cantonese dumplings. Oh and you will get the traditional fortune cookie too
Read morePros: Super Cheap, Filling, Nutritious
Cons: None

Best sushi in NYC - Edit
Went with a bunch of non-vegan friends and everyone was blown away. We all ate family style and got to try a bunch of different items off the menu. EVERYTHING was delicious, but the most memorable part of my meal was the sushi. There was mock tuna and salmon that was so realistic it was a little scary. Dreaming of going back there again sometime soon...
Read morePros: Deadass the BEST food I’ve had in a long time
Cons: Sushi takes a long time to prepare , Couldn’t order sushi once bc it was backed up
