Tasty and crowded - Edit
It was very busy inside, we had to wait about 10 mins to be seated. We sat very close to other people. They said everything was vegan on the menu. We had the Buddha delight (vegetables), veg chicken fried rice, whole wheat steamed buns (tasted healthy, good) and vegan shrimp dumplings. They served tea for free. We only got chopsticks and had to ask for a fork. Seemed like everyone in there ate with chopsticks. They served the rice a bit later than the vegetables, I think they forgot them.
Read moreEverything tasted very good. We paid with credit card and had to check a box for the tip (18% was the lowest option). You could also customise the tip, but that was confusing because you had to fill in the exact amount and add it up to the total price.
Pros: All vegan, Tasty, fresh food, Free tea
Cons: Crowded inside, They didn't explain the menu right away, Customising a tip is difficult

Affordable, many options and good food - Edit
There were a ton of options, even for their lunch specials which are $9.99 and for several hours. The tofu cheesecake was very good. The service is great - they give free tea and our food came out very quickly

I loved it - Edit
As for now, I’ve only been there once but I’ll come back for sure since I’m located near by and it was very good! There is a loooot of option and it took me time to make a choice. The dishes I had were excellent and it was the first time I tasted them even though I wanted to try them out for a long time : the wonton soup and the Sichuan beef with rice. Very tasty. I loved the dumplings in the wonton soup. As for the Sichuan dish it’s not for everybody since it has a particular flavor (I think it’s the peppercorns that makes it) but I’m glad I tasted it. Once again, I loved the free tea.
Read moreOn a Thursday night, it was quite crowded! I can’t wait to try the other dishes.
Edit : I’ve been there three times in total and it was so good and comforting each times. I tried the dumplings dim sum : I LOVED the fried taro dumplings and the meat buns (cha sui bao), I liked less the steamed taro dumplings and the pan fried dumplings. I also tried the sesame chicken which was so so good.
Came back and tried the fried sticky rice dumpling (wasn’t a fan as it’s very greasy, good if you don’t have anything else that’s fried otherwise it’s too much), the house congee (it was okay but didn’t have much flavor and there is too much for one person), and the sweet sticky rice with coconut which was delicious and I intend on ordering them again. I also took a bite of the fried shrimp dumpling and it was good! My favorite combo stays as follows : wonton soup, cha sui bao, fried taro dumplings and Szechuan beef.

Nice fully vegan Chinese restaurant - Edit
Had the sweet and sour ribs and the BBQ noodle soup, both were nice especially the fresh hand-made noodles.
Read moreGotta say I was a little disappointed but my expectations were very high and I just ordered the wrong things. If I were to go again I'd go with someone else and just get dim sum, that looks much better.
Will update my review if I manage to go again!

CLEAN AND DELICIOUS - Edit
When I saw 272 five-star reviews I got curious. This place delivers on service, taste, quality, and spice. I appreciate that the food isn’t garlicky.

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.

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!!

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!
