Our new favorite Thai! - Edit
Our movie got out later than expected. We called Bodhi Thai to see if they were still serving and was told they would wait for us to close the kitchen since we were just a few minutes away. Vee was such a gracious hostess. She recommended some wonderful dishes including the Coconut Curry and Paradise “Beef”. The spring rolls and wonton soup were both exceptional as well. Everything was super fresh and delicious. We had Thai iced tea and seductive chocolate cake for dessert. All memorably delicious.

Delicious - Edit
We got the orange chicken and the beef peppers steak, both were amazing. The menu said it was made of soy but it reminded me of seitan, especially the orange chicken. The beef was very tender, I just wish there was more beef and fewer peppers.

Says vegan kitchen all over the place, NOT a vegan kitchen - Edit
After seeing large signs that say Vegan Kitchen all over the outside of the restaurant we sat down only to see an egg dish on the menu, when we asked they confirmed it's real egg... Obviously just using the signage to get customers without actually committing to the ideal of a vegan kitchen... One star... Deceptive, false advertising and they acted like it wasn't a problem.
Read moreCons: false advertising, the title of the restaurant itself is a lie

well done - Edit
Really delicious, well done pan-Asian food with some Thai focus. Just to be aware, they entire restaurant is vegetarian (uses eggs), but there are plenty of vegan options which are clearly marked as vegan. Well prepared sauces and not oily like a lot of Asian style restaurants. Would definitely be a regular here if I lived in the neighborhood.
Read morePros: service, tasty dishes
Cons: not totally vegan

Delicious, Authentic Flavors - Edit
Such, yummy, comforting dishes! We had the Veggie Dumplings, Spicy Fried Rice with Seitan, the Spicy Green Curry with Tofu, and the Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. It was perfect. Well, actually we like it a little more spicy, but they have really nice garnishes on the side with dry spice and pepper paste. So we were all set. Vegan options are marked with a broccoli symbol, which is most of the menu. I didn't ask what makes other items not vegan. But I should have, because I thought everything was vegan. The new location is really clean and classy. There is a parking lot, but it was kinda tight, so we parked down the street.
Read morePros: Lots of amazing vegan options... Vegan Green Curry
Cons: Music was a hair loud. But not too bad.

Absolutely delicious Thai food - Edit
Bodhi used to be on Pico Blvd in Beverlywood, a hole in the wall place with mediocre strip mall quality food. I tried this new location today and was blown away. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. Still in a strip mall but as good as a 5 star restaurant. Fresh, bright, clean, and inviting restaurant. Menu confused me with every menu item marked as vegan. They claim to be vegan and vegetarian, so just be careful you don't order something that doesn't align with you values. Pictures for this listing is their old, drab, location.

AMAZING - Edit
This place is bananas delicious. I went here today with my husband and we were both so surprised by the textures and flavors here. I had soy "beef" and I couldn't get over how delicious it was! I highly recommend this place to everyone, meat eaters alike because they won't be able to tell the difference.

Average food - Edit
Overall, the food here is quite average. This restaurant is close to where I live, so I have been here several times. I have tried everything from the Pad Thai to the vegan burger.

not vegan, but vegetarian - Edit
I like this place overall, but be careful if you are vegan. Their egg noodles have, well, egg in them. the first person said she thought but wasn't sure, and the second person said yes, eggs in egg noodles (duh). a lot of their stuff is good tho, and they are accommodating to changes in orders.

Made some changes for better - Edit
When this restaurant had first opened back in 2010 I ate here a few times. Back then, the space was very basic, small, and the foods was bad.
Read moreThat's changed. This time around (December 2014), to my surprise, the food was better, had more flavor. Even the decor has been spruced up. Looks fancier than before.
The menu is different, too, and the prices are slightly higher than before.
Most importantly, the food tastes better. Papaya salad, pho noodle soup, and lentil burger were all good. But I don't recommend the fried spring rolls (meh).
All in all, the current Bodhi Kitchen is a fair place for a casual bite that's all veg-vegan.
Pros: vegan and vegetarian, has parking

Great Vegan Thai Food - Edit
I'm so happy I got to visit Bodhi Thai while I was in LA - their soups, Pad Thai, salads, & sweet potato fries. I soooo wish it were closer so I could eat there more often!
Read moreDespite being vegan and kosher, the food tasted the same as non-vegan, non-kosher Thai food that I've had before.
Pros: Amazing Food, Nice Wait Staff, Big Portions
Cons: On the small side

wish I lived nearby ! - Edit
bought vegan take-out for my 6 hour drive back to Sacramento. I'd eat here often if I could- delicious vegan food, friendly staff. Only 2 items on whole menu were not vegan (used egg noodles).

Bodhi Kitchen is now Kosher and Vegan! - Edit
Bodhi Kitchen is now Kosher and Vegan (as of July 5, 2010)! I ate there in June (when they had egg in about 3 of their dishes and they were not yet Kosher). I had the Pad Thai with soy chicken (without the egg) and I had the Spicy Pumpkin-Eggplant-Tofu (which I liked it the best), both on the dinner menu. Then I ate there again on July 5 and I had the Kung Pao with tofu and the Spicy Eggplant with tofu (I liked it the best), both on the Lunch Special, which comes with a small side salad and a spring roll.
