Happy Buddha Kitchen - Temple City

I really enjoyed the bun bo hue and salt pepper "chicken" at this restaurant. Everything we ordered was extremely tasty, and the atmosphere was lovely. I also appreciated that they had free dharma books available in the front. This review was updated on January 16, 2024.

I ordered a Fried Tofu Appetizer and Bún Bi. Everything was fresh, delightful, and tasty. One unique feature was the selection of free books available as you walk in. I picked up a book by Thich Nhat Hanh to enjoy during my stay at the hotel this week.

Took my dad to this restaurant for lunch. They have a wide variety of delicious options. The vegan pho was the best I've ever had. We also tried the bean curd wraps and a few other dishes. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

The food was delicious! Went with a non veg friend and ordered the curry vermicelli, “shrimp and pork” spring rolls, and the steamed noodles. All of the dishes hit the spot. Ingredients were fresh and flavors were yummy. Our fave was the curry vermicelli had a bit of a kick to it.

First time trying. I've been to a number of Asian Vege places in the SGV. I think I've found my new favorite!
