Great food! I'm no vegan, I just play one on TV - or at least when with fellow vegan :) Found the food to be delicious with each bite becoming tastier. Service was quite friendly. Loved sitting outside with a beautiful night breeze. Good ambiance. Thought there ought to be more people here physically, but then saw how much they were making to be picked up and to go! The world we live in! So yeah they make a lot of good food for delivery. Was great would come back again when visiting friends in the neighborhood. read more

Stopped in here one warm afternoon on a weekday and they had a wonderful breeze going through the restaurant with the front windows wide open. First timers (but not last timers)! We had the salt and pepper tofu- perfect crisp and soft insides with amazing flavor. I asked what sort of salt they used and was told regular salt - no my table salt at home does not have this flavor, fine keep your secrets! Sesame "Beef" - great savory flavor and not your sugary flavor from your local takeout! Good texture and chew as well. Garlic and Olive Oil Kale - this came out piping hot and all steamy but was definitely double-salted. We could not eat much of this but aside from the salt, it was flavored well. Great surprise ending was our bill was really low and I even asked if they charged us correctly (whats wrong with me you may ask)? We were told lunch items were half price on weekdays - woo! 5 star worthy if not for the kale! read more

I love curry beef noodle Soup and pad Thai!! Sooo delicious!! We need more vegan restaurants!! Delicious and tasty read more

The soup, tofu, and bok choy are flavorful and nice but the flat rice noodles are a bit too hard. The sweet and sour "chicken" has a lovely texture and was alright, but the sauce is a bit too sweet and one note. The dumpling noodle soup was nice but the dumplings' fillings were a bit more on the mushy side. read more

Everything tasted phenomenal !!!!!!!! How many people can say they had a "hookedup" 12 dollars of giant bowl for curry and great mix of veggies!?!? I wish I had the same type of vegan spot in chicago lol. I dont know how they do it so well. This looks like it delivers well too during winter. This Asian food that says "we invented fake meats and they deserve to be fairly priced" I Recommend it even if your not vegan plenty of options for "no-fauxer" vegans and "pro-faux" mo'fos. read more

I'm newly converted vegan. One of my favorite things about it are the food choices. Tried Amituofo on a whim . I was not disappointed. Started with the hot sour soup. Amazing. Then the " spare ribs" w potatoes. The consistency was perfect. The sauce delicious. Topped it off with the decadent chocolate cake. The prices reasonable and the service rapid. I took home a quart of the hot and sour soup so I wouldn't miss it the next day. Go without hesitation and enjoy! read more

Food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic! This spot is a must-visit for vegan food lovers flavorful, fresh, and beautifully plated. Here's what we ordered and how each dish rated: BBQ Roast Pork - 5/5: Rich, savory, and full of flavor. Scallion Pancake - 5/5: Crispy outside, soft inside, perfectly paired with the dipping sauce. Pan-Seared Vegetable Dumplings - 4/5: Tasty and well-cooked, though a bit more filling would have made them perfect. Traditional Fried Rice - 5/5: Light, fluffy, and packed with veggies, great balance and texture. Vegetarian Spring Rolls - 5/5: Crispy, fresh, and perfectly golden with a sweet chili sauce that complemented them well. General Tso's "Chicken" - 5/5: A vegan masterpiece, crunchy, tangy, and satisfying. One of the highlights of the meal. Grilled Fish Banh Mi - 4/5: Crisp baguette, flavorful fillings, and a side of golden fries. We also enjoyed a variety of drinks ; Arnold Palmer and Thai Iced Tea. a The space is cozy and welcoming, with quick service and a calm atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their plant based menu. Highly recommend! read more

Great food! Ordered takeout a couple of times here and food came fast and it was still warm! Ordered kimchi fries and it tasted really good. Fries were not soggy and the kimchi and sauce made it really tasty! The Singaporean noodles are not that spicy and fried rice had that hint of curry! Everything is vegan here so if you want to try Chinese food and are vegan then this is your spot! Portions are large too so you are getting your money's worth! read more

Incredible food. You won't regret it. I had the spicy tuna, miso soup, and chicken with garlic. It's fresh, light - not drenched with heavy sauce- and tastes high quality. read more

Amituofo Vegan Cuisine - Finished before I could take a photo - Asian Fusion Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I really enjoyed my all vegan meal here at Amituofo. They do a really great job incorporating meat alternatives in their dishes while keeping the flavors you expect. I started with the wonton soup which had a delicious broth and a decent serving of veggie filled wontons. For my main course I got the general tso's "chicken" and a platter of bok choy. It took everything in me to not devour that whole plate in one sitting. The flavors brought me right back to my childhood when I would frequent my local Chinese store at least once a week. The portions are definitely shareable but in my case, it was all for me. The space itself is dimly-lit and cozy. Maybe enough seating for 20-30 with additional out front on the patio. They are located kinda in the middle of nowhere but that makes for easy parking especially on the weekends. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes! read more

It is quite easy to keep to a plant based diet while eating Chinese cuisine, particularly because of the large population of Chinese Buddhists, and many in China who keep to a largely vegetarian diet by proxy. The word 'amituofo' refers to what Chinese Buddhists called Amitabha Buddha, so just from this restaurant's name I had a sense of what the menu would be like. I really like this cuisine because of its generous use of umami rich ingredients like mushrooms and tomatoes. Also say what you will about seitan, which is often used as a meat substitute-- I think it can be absolutely delicious, and I'm happy to say the preparation here was on point. This location is off the beaten path in a very industrial part of Bushwick, and I'd guess a majority of their orders are for delivery. They are a full service restaurant though with a complete outdoor set up out front, and I took advantage of the temperate weather by being their lone customer to sit outside. Their $12 lunch special comes with an entree with soup or salad, and I went with the sesame "beef" with brown rice and a side order of the kimchi fries, which had a really addictive sauce. The portions were just right for lunch, and the food was satisfying, flavorful and fresh. I wouldn't hesitate to order from here again. read more

Great place Ample seating indoors and outside on a nice deck out front. Spacious high ceiling and cool lighting. The food is excellent - all the dishes we had were tasty and service was quick. Will definitely return. The host recommended: Fried cream cheese wontons in mango sauce Barbecue roast pork (seitan) Spicy avocado roll I then had the Thai noodle soup which was delicious and spicy with a ton of fresh cilantro and bean sprouts. Then we tried the house fried rice - smoky and wok prepared and yummy. Definitely returning read more

Amituofu exceeded my expectations! I'm always cautiously optimistic about vegan food, but I thoroughly enjoyed everything I got. My favorite dishes were the sweet potato roll and General Tso's chicken. For anyone trying to be vegan or vegetarian, this place is great. The person at the front counter was quick and nice and got our to-go order really fast. The restaurant itself is fairly spacious and has a cool vibe to it, a very Brooklyn vibe. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes! read more

I remember when this restaurant opened in Bushwick and I am so glad it seems to be doing well. I've had my fair share of vegan Asian cuisine in the tri state area in my time and I have to say Amituofo definitely hits the mark across the board. While the menu is not the most unique in the world, I love that their portions are large so it makes the cost worth it. They also provide reliable takeout service. My best tip is that I love coming here with folks who aren't vegan because everything tastes so good. That and the miso soup! Overall, Amituofo is truly yummy, great service and worth the price/trek. read more

If you're looking for good vegan food, look no further!!! This place blew it out of the park. I am not vegan but I absolutely loved this food and am already looking forward to my next visit. From start to finish, everything was super tasty. I am excited to try dessert next time! The miso soup was rich in flavor and delicious. The sesame roll was really interesting - it was served warm with a sweet dipping sauce. The spicy tuna avocado was my favorite out of everything -- it really tasted like sushi and was super fresh! Our entrees were generous, delicious, and really tasted like chicken! The cashew chicken was tender and tasty with great vegetables in a yummy sauce. The sweet and sour had an amazing flavor palette and I really couldn't believe it wasn't actual fried chicken! Both chicken orders came with brown rice on the side. The only thing that could've made the experience better was if our server was a bit more attentive. She was the only server in the restaurant and she did a great job being in several places at one time, but the wait was a little long at times. Overall, great vegan spot for a casual date/catching up with friends. They have a super cute outdoor area as well! Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Love the food here, nothing gourmet and a tad overpriced but still tasty fresh vegan Asian fusion. Love all the chicken dishes, the sushi roll and kimchi dumplings and their Thai tea though $7 is kind of a lot. Not crazy about the curry, it's more like a soup. read more

I had the Beijing duck and barbecue roast pork. I enjoyed the slightly chewy texture of the seitan and the tangy sauces. The prices were a bit higher than I would've liked for the portion size, but the quality was solid overall. read more

This place is so cute!! I really wish I could give it a 4.5 or 4.75, cause it certainly deserves that extra little star. The inside is super cute and makes you feel like home with all the plants and warm lighting. And they also have a little area outside with little tables and lots of plants that's covered so if it's cold outside or raining you're fully protected. They have a pretty extensive menu and there were so many things that we wanted to try but were limited by our stomachs. We had the bbq pork and the Beijing duck. They were both quite tasty. I think the behind duck didn't have quite the same amount of flavor or perfect texture that the bbq pork had but it was still pretty good. The bbq pork was delicious. The wha they were able to get the vegan pork to be super juicy with great texture was really impressive. The bbq sauce was a great mix of sweet and flavorful but not too much. Would love to come back here and try more things on this menu! read more

Amituofo is a really interesting plant-based Asian fusion cafe. The barbecue "roast pork," our waitress's recommendation, was tasty. Sweet, savory, chewy seitan bites topped with scallions. The cedar tofu had an interesting flavor and a pleasant crisp texture. The eggplant with garlic sauce was good but a little blander than expected. The Singapore mai fun was not the greatest dish: the noodles were sort of dry and rubbery, although the vegetables and soy protein morsels were tasty. Next time I'd like to try one of their veggie bowls for a healthier option. read more

Delicious and flavorful food, quick and friendly service, and great ambiance. The menu was extremely varied in their options and I had a really hard time deciding! The cashew "chicken" was delicious and so was the eggplant in garlic sauce. Bonus points for the delicious chocolate cake! (No pictures of any of these) I've also ordered the Bean Curd with Cashew Nuts and BBQ "Roast Pork" Noodle Soup (photos included). The tofu dish was good and the "roast pork" was excellent. We also ordered seared vegetable dumplings which were great. read more

Came here on a whim and had a delightful meal that was surprising in several ways. The pan seared kimchi dumplings were so savory I almost thought they'd pulled a trick on me and served meat. I'm not a strict vegan or vegetarian so I'm not really looking for places that are trying to make vegetables taste like meat. I just want good tasting food that makes me feel good. I got it here. Then came the Sauteed Udon noodles with broccoli, onions and more. Strips of what I assumed was tofu or some kind of protein was smoked and reminded me of chicken. Again, not that I was looking for that, but the dish had real texture and was extremely satisfying. Service was pretty impeccable and the wait staff made good suggestions, one of which I took. Other than a somewhat lackluster ambiance, there's nothing I didn't like about the visit and I'd return in a heartbeat. The appetizers in particular looked really interesting. And so you know: Amituofo is a Chinese transliteration of the Sanskrit word Amitābha Buddha. Amitābha then means "infinite/boundless light". So together, Amitabha Buddha or Amituofo is the Buddha of Infinite Light. In the Pure Land school, Amitabha is the principal Buddha of the Pure Land. There, isn't Google just a great thing? read more

This place is literally and probably the only place I really order from during the pandemic . The number one reason is that the food is SO delicious . I always get the bbq seitan , the Singapore mei fun , the fried wontons , the spicy tuna is really good too . Their bean curd the sesame bean curd delicious , the general tso chicken delicious . What I love most is that I don't feel like I'm missing out on the real thing and Chinese food was a big thing for me on a Friday night before I went vegan so having these delicious options are just so perfect . My food is always delicious always fresh and always hot . I have no complaints about this place I never will . It's just the best . Keep doing your thang !!!! read more

I go to Amituofo on a regular basis, whether it's alone for a quick bite or with friends and family, and I always have a great experience. The ambiance is absolutely amazing! You get to enjoy your meal immersed in plants and quiet music, which was just what I needed. The food was great, especially their kimchi fries which is very well seasoned and super freshly made. Service is usually quick as well, despite there usually being only one or two people working in the front. The young lady is very enthusiastic and is very well versed with the menu. Overall, a great place for a hangout with friends and family. read more

Almost gave this place a one star rating once bc I had a waiter take sushi to his mouth before bringing me food but that was a couple years before covid so that's no longer an issue and I'm sure that guy is long gone.

Today I also got the smashed cucumber salad which is really spicy, so just a heads up to those who are sensitive like I am! read more

A record producer friend has recently moved back from the west coast. He purchased this amazing loft in the bush wick area of Brooklyn. While working on music projects. I am there often. The food options in the immediate area are Mexican taco places or food trucks. We came across this gem by complete accident. While walking to find a place that served healthier options we walked past this restaurant. From the moment we entered, I loved the decor and zen of the place. In my past reviews as well as forthcoming reviews. You will hear me talk about the zen of a place. We travel often in our homes. And have dined at some high-end restaurants as well as budget-friendly places abroad and in the states. As I will always say the zen and customer service is the deal breaker for me. There are live plants in the seating area with just the right lighting and sounds. The hostess was a sweet young lady. Who was working the front area alone and fee Though She was alone upfront she provided. Incredible customer service and provided attention and great customer service to all. I am in the area often now. This is my new favorite place to dine. read more

The impossible burger was insanely juicy. I got mine with out the vegan cheese and I couldn't tell that this burger wasn't made out of meat. Normally I prefer no tomatoes but I didn't even remove it. Plus the pickles were in every bite. Trust and believe if my son knew it was meat he wouldn't eat it but even he destroyed his. The fries weren't as hot as I prefer but they were crunchy. We also ordered the spring rolls which were super tiny so I only had a bite. Yal already know my son don't like to share so thats all I was given. If your looking for a tasty Vegan spot give this place a try. You won't be disappointed read more

I wanted to like the food here but it didn't have much flavor. Maybe I came on an off day.

Shockingly bad! I hate to write a negative review on an all vegan place but this must be done! Where to begin? We asked if we can sit outside & the waiter was annoyed, but we went out anyway & found that the front patio was locked! No "I'm sorry but the patio is closed" okay... we ordered the oyster mushrooms and salt & pepper tofu which were both indecipherable from each other - think a heavily battered, flavorless, greasy mess! The miso soup was okay but was too salty. Hot & sour soup was okay but nothing special. When we asked for recommendations for the main course, we were again met with a blank stare & irritability from our waiter. We ordered the eggplant with garlic sauce - it was a gelatinous sauce with rubbery veggies. We also ordered bean curd with black bean sauce - the tofu was again indecipherable as the greasy salt and pepper tofu appetizer with a very generic, greasy, gelatinous sauce with more rubbery veggies. Amazingly, Panda Express would be more flavorful than this place! Don't go to this place unless you like terrible food. Cannot believe how high this business is rated - which is one of the reasons I even decided to go - I really feel bad for these reviewers & their poor palettes if they could even have the gall to say anything remotely positive about this truly disgusting place. I'm sitting here nauseated and burping up grease 5 hours later! read more

It's taken me a while to write this review b/c life happens.. I really never leave bad reviews, even if it's deserved. But this is needed. We got our delivery and it smelled, to my husband who does eat meat, a bit off. I have been a vegetarian for years and am used to fake meat occasionally not smelling 'normal'. I ate and by the middle of the night woke up, sorry, purging from everywhere. I was only able to attempt drinking water for days after and even ingesting that little bit resulting the same. I ended up going to the emergency room where I was diagnosed with Shinga toxin-producing E. coli. I needed multiple IV infusions to recover. People literally become infected with STEC when they eat any product contaminated with the bacteria. DO NOT EAT HERE!! It is obvious their workers are not following basic food safety. read more

The food here was amazing. Very fresh and tasty. My daughter is a vegetarian. We wanted to expand her pallette. My husband and I are not vegetarian. We both totally enjoyed the food. I had spare ribs with potatoes and Brown rice. My Husband had the pepper steak and my daughter the beyond burger we she states was the best one she ever had and she has tasted plenty. I would of given this place five stars however the wait staff are 3 young girls that never check on you. I have to say when we asked for something they were very pleasant and ensured we got it but never came over to check on us only when asked. I will definitely recommend as the food is delicious. read more

I am not a vegan by any means, but I do appreciate a good plant based meal. I eat at a lot of vegan restaurants because the ingredients, seasoning, and food quality feels so wholesome, and this is exactly the experience I got here. I'm a regular here because whenever I am craving Asian cuisines, but still want to feel good and get my veggies in: this is where I come. The sauces are so yummy and the restaurant is very cute. I am not sure why it's not normally more crowded. I think they get a love more delivery orders rather than dine in. But definitely would recommend this place especially for a casual lunch. You leave satisfied, but not groggy or sluggish because it's all plants :D read more

Ordered from Amituofo on Seamless for lunch. My food came quick and was hot which is always a plus. I had the impossible burger with a side of fries. I've had impossible burgers before so it was a good burger but could have used a good sauce or specific toppings to complete it. This restaurant has many vegan options on their menu which I hope to try soon. Upon trying other items, I will update this review... I look forward to it! read more

This place is on point. I tried the hot and sour soup and it is the legit recipe that you would find at a Buddhist place. Fungus, mushrooms, tofu and that delusions hot & sour broth. I also ordered the yellow curry noodles. A+ Service is quick and prices right. Though I couldn't find them on Seamless. Not sure why read more

The food was amazing. Couldn't compliment it more. We ordered a lot of stuff and had plenty to take home. The service, however, was off. This place could easily be 5 stars if they upped their service. We had to ask multiple times for some plates and soy sauce for our sushi, dumplings, etc. We eventually got the plates. One of our sushi orders came after we were almost done with our meal. There was no soy sauce included so we asked for some. They brought over some packets of soy sauce. It was a little odd but we laughed it off. After the meal we ordered some dessert, tea and coffee. The cheesecake wasn't very good but came in a plate. The coffee and tea came in paper cups with plastic lids. The oat milk for the coffee came in a little plastic cup usually used for condiments. It was a bit odd but we laughed about it and finished up our meal. I topped off the meal with an extra order of sushi to take home read more

After a gluttonous Fourth of July I was really looking to eat some light and healthy food. The place is not the biggest with around 7 tables. The decor is very nature oriented and clean. There are some awesome wall paintings of trees and Buddha. The menu boasts many vegan dishes Asian-fusion style. We shared the kimchi fries and "curry" (seitan) chicken. We washed it down with a glass of the house champagne and an IPA. The drinks were reasonably priced for the area, as was the food. As a carnivore I can say the food was awesome. There wasn't too much salt like a lot of other vegan places tend to do. Overall the service was friendly, the food was good, and the atmosphere was cozy. I would recommend this place for meat eaters and vegans alike. read more

So, right off the bat these guys get 5 stars. My wife and I went "vegan" about 2 years ago and one dish that was kind of missed was a nice Peking Duck.

Definitely will be ordering again and hopefully every other dish we try will be as good. read more
