Amazing, nostalgic, authentic - Edit
Before I went vegan, I ate Chinese food very often (lots of meat). Buddha's provided the authentic flavours I grew up with, with amazing plant-based meats. So delighted it exists and will 100% be coming back to try more. The char siu and lemon chicken is unbelievably similar to the real deal.

I would have given it a one star :/ - Edit
I was sooo looking forward to this place because of all the good reviews but their noodle and ginger beef dish was inedible. They put so much oil in it and it was just sitting at the bottom of the container, yet completely flavorless. Really really bad and disappointing

Fantastic!! - Edit
The food was incredible!! I had the fish and tofu in pepper sauce and if I didn't know it was vegan I would have thought it was real fish! The proportions were great for the price and the service prompt and kind! I will definitely be coming back!

Lacks flavour - Edit
First ordered the Kung pao soy chicken was good but lacked flavour slightly, but good enough to try something else from there. Next ordered the imitation duck chow mein which was bland and tasteless

Convienent, close & cheaper than most - Edit
I picked Kung Pao chicken, rice and fried dumplings as an appetizer. Just like everyone else have said, it's a lot of food. After reading some of the reviews here the the top two that I was most interested in were Kung Pao and lemon chicken but since I wanted more crunch, I picked king Pao. Haven't try the dish before so I don't have anything to compare it to but I enjoyed it.
Read moreSince a reviewer had said they didn't actively order noodle/rice, they didn't get any, I made sure to tell them. The fried dumplings where meh.
Edit: went there a second time nad ordered the same thing, to go and they were quick! Rice cost extra

Pros: The price and prox. to my "hotell", Friendly staff, free tea that was really good, Many options, Kung Pao chicken with rice was tasty

Tasty food - Edit
I ordered the mapo tofu with steamed rice and asked for a recommendation for something crispy which I can’t remember the name of.
Read moreThe mapo tofu was not as I have experienced before with mushrooms and chopped vegetables though still tasty.
I would put this in the category of reasonably priced comfort food rather than wow food.
Pros: All vegetarian, mostly vegan , Many choices , Free pot of tea included

A description is not enough, this place needs to experienced IRL! The kung pao chicken is the best item on the menu imho. Rest of the food is also great! Made and served with love. Walls are filled with beautiful messages from customers!

My favourite place on earth - Edit
I (in)famously eat here 1-2 times a month, sometimes more, amazing for groups, share your dishes, powerful menu, Bruce and Sammy are so friendly and kind! #56 Duck Fried Noodle is insane. My strongest tether to Toronto. Affordable, comes out less than 5 minutes, big portions, perfect for sharing with friends and family! Please come spend money here!

Disappointing - Edit
We were eager to try this restaurant after seeing the many positive reviews. We ordered the hot and sour soup, veggie dumpling soup, veggie drumsticks, buddha's feast and the rice noodle with beef and black bean sauce.
Read moreThe food selections we made were unremarkable. The broth with both soups lacked depth and flavor. The hot and sour soup was more sour than hot and it lacked umami. The veggie dumpling had too much shredded carrot as a filling. The veggie drumsticks were fine but it's a hard dish to get wrong since it's from a manufacturer. The Buddha's feast was average and lacked core ingredients like napa cabbage and mung bean thread noodle. The rice noodle dish was really disappointing as it is one of my favorite foods. The faux beef slices were completely flavorless. The black bean sauce was thin and the noodles were rehydrated from dry and still quite chewy. This dish is so much better with fresh wide rice noodles and I would be shocked if they were not able to source it from a local manufacturer.
Pros: Friendly Staff, Convenient Location
Cons: Food Is Unremarkable, Small Dining Area

Disappointing - Edit
Tried this place after seeing all the positive review but was very disappointed.
Read moreThe "meat" was way too greasy and plain, this reminded me of real meat which I wouldn’t eat. The chicken popcorn (305) was very plain and came without sauce, the sweet and sour rib (85) wasn't nutritious or healthy, and the rice noodles with veggie "beef" (31) was too much like meat. Overall it left a bad taste in my mouth and at the end I felt more bloated than full, I do not recommend.
The free tea was good.

Nice All-Vegan Chinese - Edit
Only got to try one main dish - the imitation duck chow mein, as well as a taro roll and both were tasty. These are big portion sizes and work best for sharing. Friendly staff. Nothing fancy inside. Hoping to go back sometime and try some more menu items.
