Buddha's Veggie Restaurant - Calgary

I decided to eat here after a long debate of going here and to a few other restaurants. I got the veggie spring rolls, veggie ginger beef and brown rice. The portion size was huge and it was delicious, I could eat it all day. The issue I had was that you have to pay extra for rice. Most places I know and have been to give you a smaller portion size with rice. The other issue was the weird taste of the spring rolls. The filling was delicious, but the wrapper tasted like a dumpling wrapper, which was not appealing. The service was nothing spectacular, but nothing horrible. It was just average.

I went here this week with a friend after a busy event. She is a vegetarians so we thought we would try it. Generally I stick to "veggie" vegetarian meals but the Ginger Beef is their specialty and the Kung Pao Chicken was recommended.Both had very good flavour, a bit of spice but not overwhelming (ginger beef was VERY sweet).The meal was great and the server was very friendly. I would eat here again, next time would see what their vegetable based (vs. fake meat) dishes were like. A great place for a veggie/carnivore combination. They do also serve meat dishes here.

Anytime we're in Calgary we come here for a meal. Everything is flavourful and it is so nice to have so many vegan options. A must go to place for a wonderful vegan treat.

Would never go again, food and service wasn't good. It isn't a vegetarian restaurant either. Definitely never again.

Food was delicious however the service was not fluid. One dish arrived at a time we ordered 4 and finally the rice arrived after we asked for it and most of the other food was almost gone.
