Buddha Vegetarian Restaurant

07/25/2025 Came open-minded to eat here, having dined at many vegetarian places in Houston before. The local friend who recommended this place suggested BBH or bun rieu but I decided on the rice (suon bi) thinking it would be more filling for the long drive back to TX. 3 of the party chose the BBH and enjoyed it. My dish came out just ok- 2 egg patties, meat patty, salad greens and a small bowl of veggie soup. Rice was very dry; left half uneaten and I'm not known to waste food either. Bro's order of fried rice was also nothing to write home about- dry and lil "meat" filler. Waiter mixed up the order so 1 entree (fried rice) came after a majority of the party had eaten. Also, the savory platter of banh beo appetizer came out AFTER we had mostly eaten our entrees. Wait staff's ecxuse

This new spot just opened at the end of July, and it’s quickly becoming a favorite for anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese food without the meat. The flavors remind me so much of Vietnam, but with creative plant-based alternatives like tofu and soy-based “meats.” You won’t even miss the meat—everything is so well-prepared. The interior is simple but clean, and the server was really welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you’re into vegetarian food or just want to try something new, this place is definitely worth a visit.

I ate here probably 3 times. Most recently, yesterday & today for lunch. They don’t use MSG in their broths. I ordered bún bò Huế (beef noodle soup) & bún chả cá thìa là (Fish soup with baby dills) & my BPs were good after eating these dishes. I liked most bún bò Huế & hủ tiếu xào thập cẩm (rice noodles stir fried wirh mixed vegetables. All other dishes were above average. Place is clean. Restroom was clean too. Room decorations were nice. Services were good.

Fast service. Good selection. All vegetarian, no onion, no garlic, no chive, no scallion, basically No 5 pungent vegetables. Highly recommended.

The most incredibly satisfying meal that felt so invigorating. It was hearty but fresh. Some unique flavors and textures I’ve never experienced. Everything is veggie. We had the jackfruit salad, eggplant, fish cakes with noodles and egg rolls. Phenomenal!
