Excellent delicious meal - Edit
This place is incredible if you like authentic Asian food. Lots and lots of choice and delicious teas. I highly recommend the Japanese green tea, I had it over a week ago and haven’t stopped thinking about it so I’ve checked their menu to order myself some for home 😅
Read moreI had courgette noodles to start. £8 ish and a decent size portion. Highly recommend this as it was very tasty if you like soy sauce and noodles. I then had a stir fry I can’t remember specifically what it was called but I had it in a bean sauce which was delicious.
You will have a delicious meal here and are not short on choice. Wish I was local and could visit all the time!
Pros: Lots of choice , Excellent food quality

Wee Buddha, big flavours! - Edit
Love the Wee Buddha. It’s a cosy and friendly place with a great vegan menu. Highly recommend the Woojo chips, Jhei cauliflower, courgette stir fry. Although I’ve never been disappointed with anything off the menu.

Vegan menu with lots of choice. - Edit
Great vegan food with lots of choice. Liked the vegan gyoza very much.
Read moreWe were with 2 people and had the spring rolls, vegan gyoza, chippy sauce bean curd (tofu), ka pow and Jin dui seasame balls (desert). And the Japanese green tea with roasted rice. I liked everything except maybe for the spring rolls. What I liked best was the gyoza and the Jin dui.
Total cost was about £55,-
Pros: Separate vegan menu, Fast and friendly service, Great taste

Hidden gem - Edit
I have been to this restaurant a few times now, originally stumbling across it after going to nova pizza. It is a lovely place with a cozy atmosphere - fairy lights and neutral colours.
Read moreThere is plenty of variety to choose from at this restaurant with a separate vegan menu in place.
I originally tried the wooju chips which were really spicy and the Japanese veg noodles. The portions were big and very tasty. I have since returned to try more on the menu as pictured. Lovely vibe and will be back.
The Japanese green toasted rice tea was fab! Would recommend trying!

Inventive Pan-Asian Tapas - Edit
We've visited Wee Buddha many times and always found it delicious.
Read moreThey serve meat but there's a separate vegan menu and a gluten-free menu too, which makes it one of my favourites to take groups of people to.
Chippy sauce tofu is not to be missed and the black kale is amazing! We used to share but now get one each.
Pros: Lots of vegan options , Caters to multiple diets
Cons: Mid-price, Usually need to book

Try the crispy tofu! - Edit
I really love the food at Wee Buddha - I've never had a disappointing meal here. The vegan stuff is kept on a separate menu, but there is plenty of variety to choose from. My favourite dish is the moreish crispy tofu - I would order it on the side of the sir-fried noodles and veg.

Great flavours and good value - Edit
Dedicated vegan section of the menu, with great options. Lovely, cosy vibes too.
Read moreWe shared 3 starters, 2 mains and had 2 small glasses of wine for £50 including a tip (optional).
Staff were very friendly and accommodated us despite not having a booking. The website was a bit confusing and we thought you could book unless you had a group of 6 of more. This must have been my mistake. If you do want to visit here I would strongly recommend booking! It was busy even on a Thursday eve.

Great food - Edit
Has a separate vegan menu. Lots of options. The crispy tofu is to die for and the curry and noodles were excellent. Lots of veg used in the dishes.. nice not have just an onion and mushroom curry. Service was super fast and seemed reasonable cost wise - although a few of the smaller plates are quite expensive. Can recommend the spring rolls. You get lots for the price too.
Read morePros: Excellent food, Good range of vegan dishes, Fast service
Cons: Not many vegan desserts

Edit. Went back last week for the first time in months and the lettuce tofu wraps are no longer an option, you have to pay £6 to add the tofu, disappointed :(
Read moreBrilliant veggie and vegan options, the tofu lettuce wraps, veggie haggis wontons and veggie gyoza ❤️
Cons: Bit pricey

Fresh and tasty Asian food - Edit
I love this place so much.
Read moreCute and cosy inside, with a great wee bar (big range of beers, gins and a few nice cocktails).
The chef is a star - he's genuinely interested in providing interesting vegan options and regularly pops out to chat to diners. The six-spice beancurd is to die for - we always end up ordering extra. I really like the wakame salad and the gyoza too.
Pros: Really fresh, bright flavours, Great value for money, Friendly staff
Cons: Definitely need to book at evenings and weekends
