Always happy to eat at Bodhi - Edit
One of the few places in NYC that I love enough to return to and also to bring guests. Vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters all seem to leave happy. Favorite dishes: barbecue meat, Szechuan Pepper pot, breaded shiitakes with mushrooms, turnip cakes, soup dumplings, and greens!!

Enjoyed the variety - Edit
It’s always nice to go to a restaurant when you can order anything on it and not worry. My husband is not as interested in the vegan meat as I am. We both enjoyed the barbecue meat the best. The whole wheat vegetable bun was a little bland. Appreciated that the chicken lo mein noodles were homemade and not spaghetti. You have to try the breeze tofu skin. And the pot of free tea is always nice.

Wow!!! - Edit
The food was so delicious, my partner and I shared the sweet and sour porc, some stir fried broccoli and the crispy duck. Not a single miss, everything was yummy.

Excellent - Edit
Un peu déroutant, car tout ressemble et a le goût de la viande. Il y a beaucoup de choix. Pour les menus à 10 $, rendez-vous à la dernière page du menu.

Enlightenment on a Plate - Edit
Bodhi Kosher is one of my favorite restaurants. Eat like a king or queen for a very reasonable price, imo. I have not gone for the $10 lunch special, but if I lived in the city I’d be there all the time. Many gluten free options. I love trying new foods, the dim sum style makes that easy. I haven’t liked every single dish I’ve ordered but I always leave beyond happy. I absolutely must order the fried cumin veg lamb and the sweet sticky rice with coconut every time I go. Very fast service, and good drinks, both alcoholic and non.

Vegan Chinese/ Cantonese food - Edit
The food was delicious. We got dim sum for our baby who loved it, and we shared the lo mien and shiitake dishes. Drinks: Chinese beer, green healthy (yum) and hot tea (free).

My default veg NYC spot - Edit
Whether on a whim w my wife (we live close by) or for a planned dinner date w friends (especially out-of-towners), this place is clutch. Almost always have our server chose for us, there are so many delicious dishes and I love to have whatever the server is most enthusiastic about. As a longtime vegan, I appreciate a restaurant that doesn’t feature the ‘usual suspects’ on the menu. I’d rather they razzle dazzle us with the incredible protein textures and flavors like Bodhi!!

Amazing value - Edit
Best value we found on our trip. Everything was amazing, but couldn’t go again without ordering the BBQ.

Mooncakes! - Edit
It’s so hard to find vegan mooncakes anywhere in the US, so when we found this place a couple years ago, it was such a find and we have gotten mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year ever since. Highly recommend!

Great for groups. Delicious - Edit
I brought my family here and everyone enjoyed it immensely. The standouts were the BBQ veg meat, bbq pastries, char siu. I would pass on the soup dumplings

Must-go restaurant in NYC - Edit
Absolutely delicious! The service was very fast and the portions generous. You need to go there if you like asian food. There were so many options in the menu that I couldn’t choose. But try the vegan chicken!

My NYC staple! - Edit
Whenever I’m in the city, I’ve got to visit Bodhi Kosher at least once. Large dim sum menu and with a lot of creative dishes. Almost everything I’ve tried from the menu has been delicious — especially the soup dumplings!! The service is also extremely fast for what is often a crowded restaurant, and the food is relatively cheap. You can’t go wrong!
Read morePros: Yummy yummy food, Friendly, attentive staff, Fast service

Best Vegan Dim Sum - Edit
This is an amazing gem in Chinatown NY, I haven’t had Dim Sum in 4 years since I became vegan, but this place has created all the amazing dishes that I missed— just veganized! My non vegan fiancé thoroughly enjoyed the BBQ veg meat dish, even though he said every single dish was worth going vegan over :).
Read moreHim and I ate about 7 different dim sum dishes and we were stuffed, and the grand total of our bill was $50. Also our cups of waters were never empty once, they were amazing with the refills and clearing our dirty plates to make room for more food.
If you have an opportunity to check this place out, please do!
Pros: Authentic Dim Sum taste, Great prices, Hospitable service

probably my new favorite takeout spot - Edit
I’d been wanting to try this place for a while now, and I couldn’t be gladder I did. After I tried it the first time, I ordered it again for days after—trying something new every time. I’ve tried a bunch of different menu items now, and there’s still so much I want to try because it’s such a huge menu. It’s affordable and their vegan bbq pork (or char siu) is to die for. I have yet to be disappointed by one thing on their menu.

So so so so good - Edit
This place is amazing. It is all vegan (despite the confusing vegetarian name) and has a separate gluten free menu with a lot of options. The food was really delicious and portions were decent. Reasonably expensive but probably cheaper than a lot of places in new york.

Just awesome - Edit
I always struggle with a menu that has more than two choices! The food is so packed with flavour. Never having tried dim sum before, we tentatively ordered a few. Taste bud explosion! The staff are so friendly and helpful. This is a real gem in the heart of Chinatown. Highly recommended!
