Large Place, Huge Buffet, Good Value - Edit
This place is a little away from the thick of things, but nonetheless worth trying. It is run by a bunch of eager Chinese women who are very helpful even in broken English. However one of the problems is that they us eeggs in many dishes and you have to ask. While the choice is tremendous, and it is fixed amount per person, the flavors were on the bland side, typical of most such places in Argentina. There was a wide spread of desserts as well, but limited choice of fresh juices and drinks.

filling up at bodhi - Edit
came here straight from the airport and starving. we've been to many other asian buffet restaurants in town but actually this was the one we enjoyed the most. the waitress was very attentive. she was nearly running but not to get rid of the people. fastest service so far. the food at the buffet was hot and we thought it had more flavour than in the others(well everything is a bit bland in argentina; except for the heavy oil use) also a good diversity in food. most of it was clearly marked. very handy when you're not very fluent in spanish as we are. so the vegan things are clearly marked. not the salads but that is easy to see i'd say. they had something that looked like a wonton but it was sweet. with cinnamon and maybe chestnuts inside. it was at the hot buffet not the dessert section, whatever the reason may be.

nice indian/asian buffet in the city center - Edit
You won't find many exciting dishes at this restaurant, but there is a good variety of decent tasting curries and rice dishes. Great if you are starved, broke, and in near Congreso.

Pros: location, selection, price
Cons: who wants to go to BA to eat asian food?

Good value and selection for vegans - Edit
I went to Bodhi with a group of friends and had a great time. Most of the food was clearly labeled and the majority was vegan. A lot of the hot food was deep fried and greasy but that didn't stop us from enjoying it. There was a large salad bar so it is possible to keep your meal healthy. There weren't a lot of dessert options and only a few were vegan. We did try some dry vegan cake/squares but agreed the best dessert was the fruit flavored gelato.
Read moreThe prices have gone up a bit. It's now 19 pesos for lunch and 21 pesos for dinner. Also, you MUST buy a drink. They have tea for 12 pesos, pop for 7 pesos and water for 6 pesos. We walked to Bodhi from the Entre Rios subway station (10 minutes). It was late at night but we felt safe and didn't have any trouble finding it.
Pros: good value, good selection
Cons: few dessert options

all you can eat! - Edit
walked into this place thinking that it was your typical Argentina-vegetarian pay-per-kilo place. was very happy to find out it was 75% vegan AND all you can eat for 20 pesos (just over $5 US). not the healthiest or the tastiest, but great when your really hungry!

Cons: not all vegan, lots of fake meat

Nice Vegetarian Buffe with lots of Vegan Options - Edit
So, as with most of the probably hundreds of Taiwanese vegetarian buffet places in Buenos Aires, this place has lots and lots of egg and milk ridden food, but also lots of good vegan options. There is a little more selection here than at most places, and some of the food is even labeled vegan! The vegan meatballs were very good!

Cons: Not 100% vegan

Those 7th Day Adventists - Edit
Founded by 7th Day Adventists (many of whom are vegetarians), my girlfriend and I went here last night and we really enjoyed the food. Think Los Sabios, only healthier and more out of the way. Whereas Los Sabios food is very good, a lot of it is fried. At Bodhi, there's a slightly better balance of fried, baked and fresh foods. Don't get me wrong, there are many of your favorites: 2-3 types of seitan stirfry, one inevitably served with cabbage, potatoes, veggie soufflé, croquettes, soy milanesas, Jerusalem couscous, angel hair pasta, but there's also a full salad bar, steamed squash, broccoli and spinach, an eggplant dish, and a delicious coconut cake. The arroz con leche, however, was gross. We'll definitely come again, as long as the subte is still running.
Read morePros: More Vegetables, Less Fried Food, Not as Salty
Cons: Less Variety, You Feel Almost Guilty Overeating-almost, Slightly out of the Way

We visited this restaurant end November 2007 and we were really pleased: good food, low prices, nice staff, hard working people: one of the duaghters was studying pharmacy, in the restaurant, keeping an eye on the guests and seeing whether they were OK. Unfortunately: no alcohol, no beer. But, yeah, that has to do with their principles.
