Really good vegan burger spot! My friend in the area recommended we try this place for dinner. Minimalist interior with elements of metal chairs, wooden tables and green foliage accents. The staff who took our order was nice and helped us decide on what to get. We started with their crafted bubbles: Passion Fruit with chia seeds and Salted Lemon Plum with mint ($7 each). They're served in large glasses and had to take some to-go. I didn't try the salted lemon plum, but I really liked the passion fruit with chia seeds. It wasn't too sweet and the passion fruit was fresh. The Banh Mi Burger ($17.5) was bomb! The vegan beef patty was hearty and could pass for a beef patty. The fresh cilantro, jalapeños, pickled carrots and cucumber added a nice crunch and kick. I hadn't had tempura green beans in a while and these were a nice change from the usual fries. I forget how much they cost, but they gave a generous amount, enough for a few people to share. They were seasoned perfectly, lightly fried and not too greasy. My friend got a curry noodle bowl and she didn't seem super jazzed about it. I think their burgers are the way to go here! read more

I liked this place a lot. I am definitely an omnivore, so this is high praise coming from me. I came in with my family - one had a gluten allergy and the other is vegetarian also with some food allergies, so this seemed like a great spot to try out. The smoked BBQ tofu salad is definitely a showstopper. That thing was crazy to look at when they pull it out. My nieces liked their salad bowls. I enjoyed my carne asada burger, but it wasn't very spicy. The bun was pretty nice though. The fries were really good! I really liked the living wall they have at the restaurant, but I think it's looking a little sad on account that it's winter time. read more

Super casual, clean, vegan spot. We had the carne asada burger that was flavorful. The lions mane Nuggets that were flavorful but mushy inside. Tomato basil soba noodle bowl that had a good mix of fresh vegetables and a blast of flavor. We drove 45 mins to check this place out and we were happy with the food and ambience. However, staff could have been more attentive when we walked in and were reviewing the menu. They did not acknowledge us until we appear to be ready to order. read more

Super friendly service. Really appreciated we could bring the dogs in on this super hot day. The restaurant was clean and cool. Wanted to love the food, but it was middle of the road for us. Banh Mi Burger had raw topping and not very flavorful. The bolognese had a lack of depth of flavor. No umami. Very raw tomato tasting. The charred broccoli was mostly raw with that fake liquid smoke taste. Fries good hard to not be good. The Maha Mushrooms another deep fried item so they were crispy and good. The corn ribs were fibrous, dry, tough, no real flavor, hugely disappointing. The Village of Om around the corner was excellent. Not sure we'd come back here. read more

I feel like I'm middle of the road for Buddha, partially because I got a salad and my husband's burger was much better. Ha! They are vegan which is nice (we're trying to limit how much meat we eat). Their fries were awesome and as I mentioned, I highly recommend the burger over the salad (based on the bite I had). They are pricey, but all the ingredients felt fresh. I'll be back for a burger! read more

Vegan restaurant here in town and the food is fantastic! It's full of unique dishes with fresh and healthy ingredients! We love the okra and mushroom tempura with its perfectly light transparent batter for the crunch with the chewiness of the ouster mushroom and fibrous okra inside. Lions mane nuggets was also well battered and full of crunch and the sauce very tasty. While it doesn't have the firmness of traditional nuggets, the lions mane is healthy and tasty. I am a sucker for anything with oyster mushrooms so I ordered the tomato basil soba noodle dish. The kids and I love the freshness and I personally like to add a little be more salt and flavor to mine. Sunshine bowl has very healthy ingredients and good texture but also needed more flavor for my Indian wife who craves strong flavors. The hand crafted passion fruit with chia seeds is the chill we needed to cool down on a hot summer day! As a BONUS! We happened upon their first ever kids painting event possibly happening on Saturdays and Tuesdays in the future. The kids had so much fun getting to color on their personal easel to take home. It also gave us parents time to relax. I even got to writeem this review without interruption! Owner mentioned entertaining other arts and craft ideas and we love it! read more

5/5 for service, food quality, and menu options. 2/5 for price, as it is now becoming way overpriced. I've come here many times as I love the food, ambience, and multiple menu options. My absolute favorite items to order are the maha mushrooms with the sauce and golden milk latte. The flavors are impeccable, but I have been disappointed with the increase in price lately. When I purchased both, the total to go price came out to be $24, and I was told it was because the owner is trying to open other restaurants. Considering it was an appetizer and drink for the cost, it may prevent be from coming back as often in the future. read more

Buddha Belly Burger - Painting - Salad Near Me - Sacramento, California

My daughter and I love Buddha belly. We go here often. Our faves on the menu are the maha mushrooms, corn ribs and the all American burger. Wish I had pictures to add to this review but we usually are knee deep Into our meal before a thought of photographing the impressive food presentation crosses our mind. We ordered takeout tonight for the first time and I thought I had ordered it for 5:15 pm. I used the online platform. I noticed after the order was confirmed that the receipt said the food would be ready by 2:48 pm. I quickly called the restaurant and spoke to Nyla-who was friendly and quickly able to intercept the order. When I walked in at 5:15, the order was freshly made and in the process of getting packaged. It smelled so good on the way home & tasted so delish (hence the missing photos). Thank you Nyla and Buddha belly staff for making our Friday night so tasty. read more

Buddha Belly Burger - Lions mane burger - Salad Near Me - Sacramento, California

I only like vegan restuarants that actually showcase the veggies rather than trying to make everything good with masking their raw flavors by deep frying them or smothering them in wannabe meat flavors. Let the veggies shine man! Maha Mushrooms 5/5* WOW. Just wow. The delicate outer crust skillfully displayed what a tempura fry should be..super light yet so crisp. The mushrooms were huge and so juicy inside, dusted with a perfect balance of salt. I would come back just for this dish alone. These feed my crispy addiction like fries, but 10x elevated. Vietnamese Coffee 3/5* The coffee itself isn't as strong as your typical Vietnamese coffee, but what really made this drink uniquely delicious is the in-house made coconut cream. Such thick, fluffy, and creamy goodness. Definitely coconut milkstache worthy. Banh Mi Burger 3/5* It was a little dry and could've used more aoili or something. The patty itself, though, was juicy and the texture was spot on, I had to second guessed whether it was really vegan or not. The patty isn't your typical veggie patty with the crunch of nuts or quinoa, but it was soft and pliable. It was lacking some flavor and was overpowered by the pickled veggies. The pretzel bun was soft, but I would've preferred a bit more toasty-ness to the top. Corn Ribs 5/5* Nice thick strips of corn strips. Roasted, smoky, and held its shape when you dipped it in sauce. Plump kernels sprinkled with parmesan, and hit with smoky paprika and tangy lemon juice. The corn ribs were so flavorful and satisfying. The small plates were so delicious and expertly crafted, I can't wait to try the other dishes. I'd sell my soul for those Maha Mushrooms though. It's been a few weeks since I last had them, and I've thought about them every week. Sac needs more vegan places like this. read more

Came in before by myself and was really impressed with the menu so I brought the pickiest eaters I know, my wife and daughter. Restaurant was clean, staff were very friendly and were happy to explain the menu. Got a Lions Mane Burger (second time, it's really good) texture is nice and bite is good but it shined with flavor in every bite. Wife got the Banh Mi Burger and got it lettuce wrapped, she never gave me a bite and was talking about going back as soon as we left. I was really surprised my kid liked the nuggets as much as she did but while we were waiting she looked over the menu a bit more and said she'd go for the noodle bowls next time, so she's already planning on coming back also. Kid is big on texture but drunk the lemonade with the chia seeds in it to my surprise as well. Beet Bliss drink was just okay and a bit small for $10 but it was very refreshing. All in all, we had a nice vegetarian dinner as a family and I'm shocked at how well it went. Definitely coming back soon to try some other stuff. read more

The Buddha fries were on point and the corn ribs were tasty. I got the soba noodle salad. As someone who eats soba, the soba was old and cold, either cooked way earlier in the day or the day before. However, the flavors of the dressing were on point. It was a bit pricey for less than 1 cup of soba noodles and the rest of it was cabbage and about six slices of mushrooms. It could had been made a little better for 18.00+. The quality could be better for a very low maintenance dish. I wouldn't mind trying it again, but it was a miss for me. read more

A hip vegan lunch place! Love the decor inside. They are a pay first at cashier and find your seat after (is there a name for this resturant concept?). The waiters bring the dishes out to the table- which was prompt and quick. One thing was that we noticed the portion sizes were big. The carne asada bowl probably could feed 2. The buddha fries were hand down the best, their sauce was delicious. The corn ribs would have actually been more elevated if it actually had some of that sauced drizzled on them. But it might make the taste profile too similar. The country fried steak (CFS) burger was amazing. Texture was was surprisingly good...one thing with normal CFS is that I find the meat kind of tough. But the patty in this was perfect and worked well as a burger. Would definitely but back to try some of the drinks that look so yummy. read more

Alright alright. Rarely do I give a 5 star rating (everything in life is circumstantial). Price: "it be like that" Portion Size: Pretty good Freshness of ingredients: Dope Came in on Friday evening around 5:30p. Parking is weird but doable (street parking exists). Greeted on entry. Staff were pleasant, helpful, chill vibes. Self seating, order in the front, water/glasses provided when you pay for your order. Food Country Fried Burger (previously ordered) 4.9/5: - Very Very tasty, highly recommended. BBQ Bacon Burger (ordered on this visit): 4.8/5: - Also very tasty. The "fakon" tastes like bacon bits, not the salad topping, but actual bacon bits (if they were a bit burnt). Highly recommended. - the pretzel burn tasted like a potato bun masquerading as a pretzel bun. Do with that what you will. - Naked fries were fries. A bit of dusting of sweetness, which my friend pointed out. - He ordered his burger with salad. Looked nice, fresh, and plentiful. Modern-ish, dim-ish, chill vibe for the decor. Outdoor seating available. I would return for sure. I would encourage giving them a try. read more

For me the sign of a good vegan restaurant is when the food is delicious without trying to pretend to be meat. Buddha Belly Burger does that really well. They have a lot of mushroom options as well as vegan patty options with fresh ingredients and delicious buns for the sandwiches. The location is bright and welcoming and there are plenty of tables to dine in. You order at the counter and then they bring you your food to your table. I went with some coworkers and we ordered the corn ribs ($9) and I ordered the Zen Burger (18.75). The Zen Burger they recommend for dine in and I could see why. It definitely was a handful, but very tasty. I'm excited to explore more of the menu in the future. There is street parking for this location, but I found a spot pretty easily. read more

I'm not vegan but if you enjoy plant based food that feels very fresh and healthy, this may be the spot for you. I wanted to try the lions mane burger but they ran out, so I ended up getting the lions mane chickpea burger instead. The patty was seasoned well and the burger was well constructed. Nice soft bun and piled high with veggies. The fries are okay, I typically prefer skinnier fries for more crispiness. This is a cafe style restaurant so you order at the counter and they bring it out to you. read more

Omg the plant based burger...and not the beyond stuff, which is a plus! . I got the country fried steak burger with your choice of fries or side salad. I got the side salad.

Came here on a Sunday morning and tried the Lion's Mane Burger with fries on recommendation from the staff. She was kind to describe the differences between this burger and the one with chickpeas. The burger was very tasty. The mushrooms were sweet yet savory and had a tender, juicy texture which contrasted well with the toasted buns. It came with pickled carrots, micro greens, and a garlic mayo. I would've preferred more mushrooms so it could be in every bite and more mayo because I didn't really taste it. If you are a fan of Banh mi, the burger kinda tasted similar to that because of the pickled carrots and mayo. The fries were crispy yet fluffy in the center and salted just enough; it paired well with the ketchup with spice powder. Overall as a meal, it tasted nice, but I did not find it that satiating; I probably could've eaten two of these burgers. I would be curious to try other menu items, but it's a little too pricey for the amount of food for me. read more

This was our last stop for our weekend in Sacramento and it did not disappoint! This atmosphere is open and there is a beautiful plant wall display. The staff helped explain the menu when we were sure what to get. Our food came out quickly and it was a beautiful presentation. We got the Buddha fries which has this delicious creamy sauce and vegan Parmesan cheese on them. Even when I felt full I kept eating because of the dimensional flavors the fries had. The fries are an appetizer but the portion is huge and could definitely be a full meal! We also got the spicy edamame! I love edamame and these had that umami flavor. I love savory food and comfort food and this hit the spot! I would love to go back for a full meal when I'm in town. I highly recommend to any vegan to come here! read more

First time to this place. Parking was either on the street or in the parking lot across the street. Walked in and place looked so inviting. We got there at 11:30 so not too many people yet for lunch. All I saw was burger because I am that kind of gal. It was a vegan place. Who would have thought? Food was amazing. We had some appetizers and 2 different salads. The pictures do not do justice to the flavors. All was fresh and so tasty. We had the corn ribs, charred broccoli and maha mushrooms for appetizers. They were all flavorful of freshness. The big surprise was the broccoli and mushrooms. AMAZING. I will order all again. The 2 salads were the soba noodles and house salad. It was so good. The dressing was so flavorful for the soba noodles. We will definitely be back to try the burgers. read more

The salad was okay I did change the buddha salad to have the riza meat and because I still eat meat that the taste of the riza meat felt a little weird it has a sweet undertone and I don't think it went with the salad dressing, maybe if I kept the original way they make it.
