For quick service Vietnamese & Chinese, Happy Buddha hit the spot. Shredded pork rolls were texturally nice but could’ve used a bit more flavor. A touch of chili sauce was a welcome addition. Beef chow fun was yummy, and though I was initially thrown by what I think was crumbled Beyond patties in the mix it all came together nicely. Stir fry green beans with tofu included way more tofu than the picture let on, in a positive way. Sweet & spicy fried tofu was also a mountain of tofu in delicious sauce. $75 with tip for all 4 dishes, and though only two of use were dining in we easily could’ve fed 4 with that amount of food. Super friendly service, and worth noting that food came out lightning fast. Will certainly be coming back!

Finally found a spot that treats vegetables like the stars of the show rather than an afterthought. The Egg Plant dish is a must-try! 10/10 would recommend even to my most dedicated meat-loving friends like me

Whenever we go up to Arcadia for business or other reasons, we stop into happy Buddha. The food is fresh. The service is impeccable. We especially love the fresh spring rolls, the curry, and any dish with their fried rice!

I have been here multiple times and done takeout many times and every time the food is so delicious! All the food is perfectly cooked and the gentleman who greets you is so friendly and welcoming. This is the perfect place to get some vegetarian soup and other Asian dishes. I highly recommend and will be coming back many times.
Bonus: They even gave us a free little dessert when we dined in and it was really good too!

This is an impressive eatery filled with a variety of delicious eats that will provide your heart with content. My friends and I ordered multiple dishes ranging from chicken to eggplant to even the tater tots and waffle fries. Those tater tots and waffle fries are 10/10 cause it smacks. It’s a hidden appetizer item that beats out even your favorite fast food restaurant. The chicken is so good I could not tell from my first bite that it was a vegetarian alternative.. that’s crazy lol. We also got the green beans but it was devoured on sight because it smelled so good and fresh. I feel like the oil being used here leaves me with a lighter feeling than most restaurants around the area which is a huge plus. I do not feel a food coma as I bounced home. I bought some eggrolls to go with the shrimp and pork and that’s definitely one of the items I would come back and try again. Side note, the environment inside is friendly and the staff are helpful! Well lit and no strange smelling odors. I can’t wait to bring my family back to try these large dishes!

Sweet spot for vegetarian/vegan vietnamese/thai dishes. Everything is non meat. Very pleasantly surprised w the burst of flavors in using non meat and veggie substitutes.
Service was quick, efficient, and kind. I ordered several dishes
1. Summer Rolls with shredded “pork: Its generously rolled w pork and nice veggie ratio. It’s one of the better vegetarian summer rolls. Highly recommend!
2. Goi Salad w mushrooms: Fresh and bursting w flavors. The mushrooms were sautéed and seasoned well. Refreshing light salad.
3. Vermicelli w shredded pork, sliced pork, egg rolls, and veggies: The sliced pork had a beef jerky texture and tasted delicious. It loaded w veggies and salad. The egg rolls were flaky and crispy. Highly recommend!
Very impressed, everything was made with no meat but didn’t sacrifice texture or flavor.

As a non-vegetarian, all the foods were surprisingly good to me! Love the shrimp & pork rolls and shredded pork rolls! Salt and pepper pork and mini crepes are also delicious! The seasonings are well balanced and they taste like real meat. It wouldn’t have occurred to me before trying Happy Buddha Kitchen that I could enjoy vegetarian food so much. 12/10 recommended!

My family and I are returning customers, as we couldn’t resist the absolutely delicious and unique vegetarian restaurant’s menu!! Today, we ordered favorite past foods such as the Tofu Rolls and Shrimp and Pork Rolls, Rice Noodles, Stir Fried Vegetables, and Combination Pan Fried Rice Noodles, as well as a new dish, Egg Rolls–all were tasty and clean as usual. Also, the customer service there is excellent; they were kind and flexible with orders. I’m not a big fan of mint in my spring rolls, so I asked for none. They complied with my wishes with no problem at all, so I’m very appreciative of that. 5 stars overall!

Lemongrass chicken was the bomb! I actually thought it was chicken before remembering they don’t serve any meat. The texture and taste were actually better than the ones made with meat. Glad to save some animals by not eating meat this meal. Heard it’s also better for the environment to save water.

Great vegetarian restaurant! Probably the best in town. They have great selection of different food for your like and ranging from authentic Chinese style to Vietnamese style. The chief and owner continuously update their menu with great tasting food. We had Orange Chicken, Beyond Pho, Eggplant with Tofu pot and Egg Rolls for dinner. The service is above and beyond, even a slice of lemon in the tasty iced water! The price is very reasonable consider the current inflation. The majority of the dishes are around $12. Great restaurant and will definitely suggest to everyone vegetarian or not!
