This place is a heavenly spot quietly tucked into a busy street... the perfect place to escape the city for a bit :) The owner was super friendly and helped me pick a yummy bowl of soup that was so big I barely finished 1/2. It was tasty, fresh and the service was great. It's a good spot for larger groups too which is sometimes hard to find in vegetarian restaurants. The atmosphere was very peaceful and tastefully decorated which added to the great experience :)

I've quickly become a regular at Buddha Chay because the food is simply delicious. You can't go wrong with the #5 (Pho), #11 (Hue style thick vermicelli noodle soup) and #17 (Thap Cam fried rice). I am slowly venturing out to other items but it's hard to not order what I know to be so delicious. I am not a vegetarian but the food at Buddha Chay is so flavourful and fresh, that it hard to resist. The space is clean and nicely decorated. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The owner (Peter) is a great guy. He would come out to say hi to customers when he's not too busy in the kitchen. You must also checkout the specials they have by the cash register. It's a great way to explore items that are not on the regular menu. Apparently, Peter has a special homemade hot sauce that is so popular, it keeps selling out. You must check out Buddha Chay!
I would say it's a nice quiet place. The food was tasty. The location is not the most friendly, but it's something that could not be controlled. Overall I had a pleasant experience.
This is a nice place off Jane Street. The portion sizes are great and the food is really good. There is limited parking. This is a nice place if you are looking for a vegetarian option. Lots of noodle soup options with the meat swapped for tofu alternative.
I really loved my Pho! Very friendly staff and very clean place. Highly recommended!
Lovely place. Lovely food.
I really enjoyed eating here. The music was relaxing, the food was delicious and the service was perfect. I will definitely make some return trips here.
I can't believe it is not ___________. Fill in the blank with anything on Buddha Chay's menu. Buddha Chay is not your typical Vietnamese restaurant. It is a vegetarian (vegan) establishment off Highway 400. Inside the bright modern restaurant, is a serene wall filled with delicate white lotus flowers and artistic Vietnamese calligraphy. Food at Buddha Chay's is made from pure love. It is the owner and chef, Peter Thai's long time dream to have a restaurant he can call his own. My companions and I visited Buddha Chay for a dinner party. We were floored by not only the authenticity of the food, but also at how closely it simulates the flavour profile of meat-based Vietnamese restaurants. Throughout our meal, you can hear everyone at the table echoing the same thoughts - "this is so good! I can't believe it is not ___________." For starters, we placed orders of Goi Cuon Chay (fresh spring rolls, 4), Cha Gio Chay (deep fried spring rolls, 4) and deep fried wontons. The appetizers were respectable. I was especially impressed by the vegan fish sauce. It is hard to believe there is no fermented fish in the sauce! For main, I listened to my Vietnamese friend (a.k.a. Pho Guru)'s recommendation and ordered her favourite Bun Hue Chay (Vegetarian Hue Style Vermicelli, 7). It was the best pho I have had in a long time. The Pho God is finally blessed me after a long hiatus of sub-par pho. Bun Hue Chay is the perfect winter abundance bowl! The vibrant herbs and vegetables garnishes were exceptionally fresh. The complex broth is perfectly spiced with aromatics. It was an interplay of flavours; a fine balance between fat, sweet, savoury, sour and umami! Each time I dug into the bowl, I discovered new ingredients - oyster mushrooms, mock beef, mock sausage, fried tofu and other UFOs (unidentified foreign objects...in a good way). Buddha Chay's food speaks to the soul. Pro tip: Taste the broth first and savor its complexity before adding garnishes!
