Avocado shakes?! How were they?

Actually really good! Our server when she brought them out said it was her first time making them and to let her know how they tasted. Since it was our first time trying them we didn’t have anything to compare them to, but we loved them and will definitely have them again. Let me know what you think if you ever try them.

Love love loved the Corn ribs - Edit
First time and we tried the corn ribs, maha mushrooms, mini trumpet tacos, shake, and tarimasu.
Read moreMy favorite was the corn ribs!
The shake is light and doesn’t leave you a heavy sugar syrup feel. It was delicious and perfect for the tarimasu.
The maha mushrooms were perfectly crisp.
Pros: All vegan! , Lots of seating, Easy parking

Great food, but pricey - Edit
The food at Buddha Belly is terrific, but these prices belong in NYC. If they were more reasonable I would go more often, but they just aren't. It's an order at the counter type of place where they hand out numbers and you're not paying less than $25 for a burger and fries with tax and tip. Makes me sadly wonder how long they will actually make it in this corner of midtown.
Read moreThat said, on with the food.
Over a few visits we've tried most of the menu. Loved both the country fried steak and carne asada burgers. Absolutely awesome. Was disappointed with the even more expensive Lions Mane mushroom burger which was served with a mountain of micro greens but very little mushrooms. Waste of money and wouldn't order that one again.
The corn ribs were tasty but $9 for basically elote seems excessive. The trumpet mushroom tacos were really good - I would order those again!
The maha mushroom appetizer is priced like an entree so although delicious, I doubt I would spring for it again and would just buy a burger for a meal instead.
We tried the avocado shake and tiramisu desserts and they were good but just a one-time splurge for us.
Pros: Country Fried Steak Burger, Carne Asada Burger, Mini trumpet mushroom tacos
Cons: Prices are too high to make this a regular stop, Service can be hit or miss if they're busy.

Such a treat! - Edit
Loved the All American Burger, but the Grilled Shaken Beef Bowl was the star. The “steak” cubes made the dish, with a nice chewy texture and the char-broiled flavor that someone finally got right! We don’t usually put dressing on our salad and almost missed out— the salad dressing for the bowl absolutely perked it up. Add the lemon, too. This will be more of a once in a while place for us, due to the prices. Will be back! #Veganuary

Alright food, high prices - Edit
I wish I could say the sunshine buddha bowl I paid nearly $20 for was amazing and absolutely worth it but it wasn't. Decent food, nice workers, not worth the price.

Totally agree with your assessment of Buddha Belly. I also feel like it’s overpriced for what you get.

Excellent service & everyone seemed nice, but the prices are insane. Food quality is good, but really not justified by the price. Not for me.

Excellent vegan eats! - Edit
The presentation was amazing. The food was fresh and delicious! My partner and I shared a chicken fried steak burger that had a nice crisp to it. We also enjoyed the smoked BBQ tofu salad. It was one of the best salads I have ever had. We also got down on some corn ribs which were sweet and spicy. We actually ate everything! The portions were perfect. Clean dining area and restrooms. 10 out of 10 would recommend. I was honestly surprised by how good everything was! #Veganuary

Amazing flavors! - Edit
The burgers are all delicious. We had the All-American, Banh Mi, the Lions Mane and they were all fantastic. The fries were good on the side too. My wife had the Carne Asada bowl and loved it, especially the caramelized onions. The Edamame Soba had so many different vegetables and was another great option. First time and we will definitely come again!

Loved the burger and BBQ Tofu salad - Edit
We loved the BBQ tofu salad and the Lion’s Mane burger. We wouldn’t have picked the corn again but it was good, just not for us.

Burgers are delicious - Edit
Ordered the All American, Buddha Fries, and Vietnamese drip coffee with condensed coconut cream. The burger was delicious, really enjoyed it. The fries could have used a bit more toppings but still were good. The coffee was a revelation and is now my favorite coffee.

Yes, this is quality! - Edit
Corn ribs are charred with great spices. Broccoli charred with fantastic seasoning. Okra and Tom yum paste amazing lime, ginger explosion. Lions Maine cheddar Broccoli soup very comforting. Banh mi burger and Carne asada burger needed more sauce but were very tasty. Blueberry lemonade refreshing. Everything served was plated beautifully to be called fast food doesn't do it justice. A winner ,we came from out of town for the vegan chef challenge and old Town Sacramento vegan fair. Will come back!

A fresh and interesting burger! - Edit
I went here on a whim and ordered the Banh Mi Burger and a Mango Black tea. I was pleased to see that I could get charred broccoli as a side, and that my plate was so artfully arranged! And the drink was pretty, too, with little chia seeds floating around. Service was fine and the food was delicious! My burger had a little bite to it. ;)

Delicious food! Messy but good! - Edit
I had the Zen burger- Maha Mushrooms combined with Green Onions and Spicy Mayo, Lettuce, Jalapeños, Red Onions, Cilantro and Micro Greens. It was a bit messy and I found that the lettuce leaves were too big for the “burger “ but overall it was very delicious! Friendly staff.

Welcome to Flavor Town!!! - Edit
This is not your average fast food burger place…the attention to detail and quality is absolutely top notch here! The sauces are all super flavorful and house made…not bottled! The Buddha fries and corn ribs were both super yummy! I got the zen burger and really enjoyed the pretzel bun it came on too. The zen burger has a mushroom patty…which I was excited about because I’m not a big faux meat patty fan. The desserts were good too…especially the cheesecake! The service was also great! The menu said Buddha Bowls would be coming soon…so I’ll have to go back and check those out once they drop! 🙂

Good new place - Edit
Love new vegan places! This one is a fantastic addition with yet another burger place with a good variety of upscale burgers. This lions mane burger was amazing! One of the best burgers I had in awhile the marinade was tasty and even better on the fries. Speaking of fries they were crispy and delicious. Highly recommend and will be back.

Phenomenal Vegan Burger - Edit
If you’re looking for an elevated plant based burger with outstanding flavors then this will be your new favorite restaurant! The carne asada burger is fantastic with it’s delicious bun, spicy sauce, cilantro, onions, and jalapeños. And, the Buddha fries are layered in deliciousness with paprika, parmesan, and a creamy sauce.
