Life CHANGED
Thank you Buddha for the warmth with which you have welcomed me...I am a loss for words. Hand fried tempura cheesecake was nirvana and bliss the skilled servers were unrivaled..so helpful!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 23, 20241 check-in
For me the sign of a good vegan restaurant is when the food is delicious without trying to pretend to be meat. Buddha Belly Burger does that really well. They have a lot of mushroom options as well as vegan patty options with fresh ingredients and delicious buns for the sandwiches.
The location is bright and welcoming and there are plenty of tables to dine in. You order at the counter and then they bring you your food to your table.
I went with some coworkers and we ordered the corn ribs ($9) and I ordered the Zen Burger (18.75). The Zen Burger they recommend for dine in and I could see why. It definitely was a handful, but very tasty.
I'm excited to explore more of the menu in the future.
There is street parking for this location, but I found a spot pretty easily.Helpful 12Thanks 4Love this 13Oh no 0 - Aug 8, 20241 check-in
Tasty food. BIG portions. Low prices. The formula makes me happy.
I'm an omnivore. Eat animal products almost everyday. I enjoyed this vegetarian meal. Had the banh mi sandwich, french fries, a giant fresh mixed salad. Drank the strawberry kiwi tea that had mini chunks of mango.
So much food that I brought home enough salad for another meal and a goodly portion of the french fries.
Would happily return.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 30, 2024
I'm not vegan but if you enjoy plant based food that feels very fresh and healthy, this may be the spot for you.
I wanted to try the lions mane burger but they ran out, so I ended up getting the lions mane chickpea burger instead. The patty was seasoned well and the burger was well constructed. Nice soft bun and piled high with veggies. The fries are okay, I typically prefer skinnier fries for more crispiness.
This is a cafe style restaurant so you order at the counter and they bring it out to you.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - Aug 25, 20241 check-in
I'm a big time meat eater so I was weary of an all vegetarian place but this place was delicious! We were a party of 3 so we ordered lots of small plates and a salad to share. Cute open atmosphere. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Very friendly service. The must have are the corn ribs and maha mushrooms. The bbq tofu was very good, smoky and good flavors. The fries was a solid choice for sharing. The only "flop" was the mushroom tacos. Couldn't really taste the mushrooms at all. The quac and other ingredients were overshadowed the mushrooms.

Omg the plant based burger...and not the beyond stuff, which is a plus!

I got the country fried steak burger with your choice of fries or side salad. I got the side salad. The salad was fresh and your spring mix with tomatoes and cucumbers with red onions too. Love the aioli sauce or salad dressing for the salad. It was tasty.

Country fried steak, the texture is like a country fried steak. It's vegan which is awesome. The seasoning was great. The burger itself was delicious and quality. The price point was 15 to 17.5 which isn't too bad.
.
Overall the space was open and I like it. The food was really tasty. I loved the experience. We got to bring our dogs inside when outside was hot. It was a fun lunch and pet day with a friend. Thanks for residing and have a yelptastic day.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 3Oh no 0 - Ss S.San Jose, CAAug 20, 2024
I will return to try and help the burgers. I had all intention to try the burgers here but when I finally made it to this spot, I was not hungrySo.... I just order their magnificent avocado shake topped with vanilla ice cream. It was soooo delicious and that alone inspires me to definitely return to try their burgers. It was lunch time and pretty empty.
They have outdoor seating, friendly staff and quick service.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 21, 2024
First time to this place. Parking was either on the street or in the parking lot across the street. Walked in and place looked so inviting. We got there at 11:30 so not too many people yet for lunch. All I saw was burger because I am that kind of gal. It was a vegan place. Who would have thought?
Food was amazing. We had some appetizers and 2 different salads. The pictures do not do justice to the flavors. All was fresh and so tasty. We had the corn ribs, charred broccoli and maha mushrooms for appetizers. They were all flavorful of freshness. The big surprise was the broccoli and mushrooms. AMAZING. I will order all again.
The 2 salads were the soba noodles and house salad. It was so good. The dressing was so flavorful for the soba noodles.
We will definitely be back to try the burgers.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Kristin N.Sacramento, CA16811793Aug 17, 2024
The interior is nice, the person taking our order was patient with our questions and explaining the menu. The salted plum drink was delicious, no photo taken. My friend ordered a bowl but the taste was too mild or bland. The mushrooms and the burger were delicious though. I would like this place more if they offered alcoholic beverages.

Did not realize this is a plant-based restaurant when friend made suggestions for dinner, and it turned out to be a good choice.
So many items caught my attention, but I decided to go with the special - grilled shaken beef buddha bowl and the black mango ice tea. Forgot to take pictures of other items ordered as everything looked very appetizing, and we just dove in when the food arrived. Those maha mushrooms and gyoza were probably my favorite items. I'd order those again, most definitely. The corn ribs had that grilled bbq flavor - also good. Friend let me try the broccoli cheddar soup she ordered - so flavorful. The drinks all came in huge glasses and presented beautifully - the ice tea was refreshing. The buddha bowl was huge - lots of veggies, some quinoa, and "grilled beef" - flavorful and quite filling. Friends noted they enjoyed their dishes as well - the banh mi, carne asada bowl, baby burger . . .
We were all full but had to try the desserts given how much we enjoyed our meals. One friend is vegan, so she really wanted to try the tiramisu. Must say - it was really good! Reminded me of the Vienetta dessert from back in the day given the texture. We all said we'd definitely return.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Apr 26, 2024Previous reviewDid not realize this is a plant-based restaurant when friend made suggestions for dinner, and it turned out to be a good choice.
