Buddha Taste - Tower Bridge in Southwark - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Best vegan pho place in London, great portion and good service. Hidden gem in London! Pity that nobody knows this place yet

We got a take away and it was delicious, “beef” pho and pad se ew with “pork” and added “prawns” we also ordered the wings and they were sooo good! Highly recommend!

Great vegan food options! Lovely tastes of Asian dishes. Not fully authentic but it was still a great meal nonetheless!

Food was fresh , tasty , full of flavour. Definitely going back

Terrible service and food Had the most awful experience. One of the dishes had killer red chillies. Not written anywhere on the menu either that dish has chillies. I literally thought I was going to faint. Ruined the whole meal.

Lovely cosy and affordable. I decent Asian fusion restaurant with excellent customer service and delicious food.

I've beem here a few time now with my fiance and we absolutely love it, the service is impecable as well as the food, and the prices are great too. I went yesterday and Yen (our server) was always smiling and very accomodating. The food was not just delicious and very well plated (it looked absolutely lovely), but also very quick, not even 5 minutes after ordering we got our starters and mains. (The fruit and milk tea is also just lovely). Thank you again for the service and see you soon hopefully.

Very fresh and tasty vegetarian food, friendly and kind staff, cosy atmosphere and they always play great music! Thank you 🙏

Really delicious pan-asian food. The Pad See Ew was so nice and an amazing portion size at a very reasonable price. If you want good vegan food this is worth going to if you are in the area. The Rendang was also great.

Please note that this place is not vegan as advertised. They are refusing to amend their restaurant as vegan friendly rather than vegan. PLEASE BEWARE.

Not vegan, this is vegetarian restaurant with food containing dairy and eggs. I find this very irritating, specially if you have dairy or egg allergies...vegetarian is NOT vegan

Delicious 😍 In a great location with good selection of vegan food.

Great little Restaurant, our food was ready in 10 minutes and it was delicious! I really liked the vegan options.

Sehr gutes Essen zu sehr fairen Preisen. Köchin und Bedienung sind äusserst herzlich und bemüht, jegliche Kundenwünsche zu erfüllen. Wir werden gerne wieder kommen ❤️

Incredible food, good service, can only recommend for any thai fan!

Lovely service, helped us by making sure our food was gluten free!

The best noodles ever! Not too oily, perfectly seasoned and well balanced with veggies and vegan/vegetarian proteins. I finally found Lokal vegan shrimp! Tastes amazing and gives a good healthy vegan protein alternative. Tofu was also cooked to perfection, juicy inside and delightfully crunchy outside. Dream place for vegans and omnivores alike .

Great food, starters were the best things we had, was quiet and we could actually have a conversation and the staff member was very attentive

Ordered a tofu banh mi today for lunch and received a vegi chicken one today. Not impressed as when got back to office wanted to eat tofu. How can this mistake happen?

Charming vegetarian eatery with an array of sensational flavors. Each dish is a culinary masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with delightful taste.

We had delicious pho and katsu curry dishes. The service was quick, staff were helpful, and the atmosphere was friendly and calm. I would highly recommend!

Excellent food, the staff and atmosphere were amazing, not a veggie myself but would put it next to any meat dish! Very reasonable priced as well

Good value, great for veggies & vegans

Waited for 50 minutes to get served. The kitchen forgot my order. Waiter wasn’t helpful.

Wow, yum! We had pho with tofu, shitake and bak choi, a 'nil chicken' baguette and crispy gyoza. A delicious, affordable and satisfying lunch. Will definitely be back!

I loooooooved this place! The coconut milk tea with tapioca and Lychee popping was out of this world, addictive! The food was super delicious and the service very polite! We will definitely be back!

Super leckeres veganes Essen in angenehm ruhiger Atmosphäre unweit der Tower Bridge

Amazing food and great service especially the Rendang so good 👍

It was very nice, fantastic food, nice Atmosphere and lovely Service.

We have eaten here three times and also had a takeaway and have enjoyed every dish we have ordered. Great flavours, generous portions and reasonable value so highly recommend.

Food is great! Some of the dishes could add a little bit more spice in it. But overall it’s great! The boba tea is the best!

Really tasty food enjoyed by both meat eaters and vegetarians! Catered to gluten-free easily. Very friendly and helpful staff and very quick service. Bubble tea was nice as well

Lovely place, reasonably priced and the food was great.

Staying at a nearby hotel and stumbled upon this restaurant for lunch. The first time I had bun cha and taro milk tea. It was so delicious I came back! The second time we enjoyed summer rolls, skewers, pad see ew, and more milk tea. Wow wow wow! Their slogan “meatless not tasteless” couldn’t be truer. Definitely recommend.

Rapidez y muy buena cslidad Todo delicioso Muy amables

The food was decent, but I do think it could have used more spices. A couple of the dishes tasted fairly bland. My main gripe is with the service, or lack thereof. Take note of the fact that when you walk in, you're asked straight away as to whether you'd like to eat in or takeaway. No "hello" , no "how are you", no greeting with a smile. This is not ok. In fact when I was taken aback by the lack of a greeting from the girl behind the counter, I simply asked her "how are you?" to which she seemed almost stunned that I even asked her. It's like she didn't comprehend that the way you greet your customers is part of the dining experience.

Great vegan food, lots of choices, reasonably priced and large portions!

This is our local go to restaurant and it’s just brilliant. The food is amazing - I’ve eaten my way through most of the menu by now and have yet to find something that’s not delicious. Staff is lovely and the food is great value.

Very good Thai takeaway, probably the best I’ve had in London. Pad see ew and glass noodles are both delicious. We’re not vegan and still loved it

Amazing selection of food, great value and the food was delicious. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!!

Buddha Taste is umami with a side serve of fake meat. But not that overpriced 'beyond' stuff. No sir, these guys do it the old-fashioned way - deliciously cooked soya, with flavours that punch you in the face. And you don't need to take my word for it. Just take a look at all the other five star reviews. Or better yet, try it for yourself.

First time here, but surely there will be many more. Food very tasty and healthy at the same time. Great range of choices for both food and beverages. Louis welcomed me in and proved to be careful, professional and knowledgeable of the menu. Fair prices and generous portions.

The Chien Nouc Mam Wings are AMAZING!! Good taro tea too. And good summer tofu rolls. The hot cauliflower side is so-so, the Thai pad see ew tofu is quite flavorless, wouldn’t recommend it. 100% recommend ordering multiple of those Chien Wings! 5 stars just for that!

I visited this restaurant with my vegan friends but I'm not vegan. I had some noodles, tried rice dish, and dumplings. Everything was delicious. They use meat replacement ingredients in their dishes. My noodles included omnipork which was nice. I also tried 'shrimp' which was close in taste and texture to real shrimp. I would highly recommend this restaurant to vegans and non vegans!

Had been to this restaurant today and food was good with basic takeaway kind of presentation. Only thing I am disappointed is the way they charged us an extra £1 for noodles with Shrimp which we didn’t order. We didn’t go with the option of Tofu which was for £11 nor did we go with the shrimp which was for £12 but being charged £12 was a shocker as they could have charged us £11 or even £10. Additionally we were charged £50 for paper take away box & £12.5% service charge basic service. It isn’t fine dining restaurant and adding these charges wrongly isn’t a good way of doing business. Sadly not the service & charges I would prefer.

I am vegetarian and this was my first time trying full vege/vegan asian restaurant. We had a lovely experience here - i had tofu and mushroom pho, summer rolls, no chicken wings, bubble team and all these were great. I will definitely revisit again. The staff there was very attentive and friendly so really happy with their service. I accidentally forget my phone in the toilet and left the place. I realised after sometime and went back to the restaurant with a fear of losing it forever. To my surprise, they had kept it safe and handed it back to my partner before he even asked for it. I am really thankful for this great experience and the lovely food. I highly recommend both to visit this place if you are in/near tower bridge.

This place definitely deserves more recognition, I am by no means a vege guy but if I could eat here everyday I would! The tofu summer rolls and the jackfruit and oyster mushrooms wings was 😘🤌 there's loads of different vegan and vegetarian options too some which we didn't even know you make it meatless. Location wise it's kinda hidden in a residential area. Bubble tea was okay they do charge extra for toppings like tapioca pearls tho. Still definitely recommend if you're in the tower bridge area.

Brilliant restaurant, fantastic food and reasonable prices. Would recommend.!!!!

I got the lemongrass nil-chicken and my friend ordered the Korean katsu curry. We both agree we’d come back if we were in the neighborhood + wanted Asian vegan food. Both dishes had pretty good flavor and the protein texture was pretty similar to meat! My only turn off was that the portion size was a bit small :/ I wish there had been a bit more protein. Still, super fast service and yummy for £12. Would recommend!

I enjoyed it. The food was nice and tasted genuine. Decor is nice, prices moderate and the waiter was very polite (didn’t catch his name but he said he has just started working there). All in all, a very good experience!

I am not a vegetarian myself. I really enjoyed the food here and would consider coming back to try more dishes. There a lot of dishes with "Nil meats". I thought the Nil chicken was really good and not very far off from the real thing. The Nil pork in my soup was pretty good as well. The Nil beef in my soup was the weakest of the bunch but an admirable attempt either way. Really liked the Nil chicken wings and the aubergine starter was our favorite - so much flavour from such simple ingredients. I was very impressed how much flavour was packed into the Bun Hue soup considering it had no meat. Staff was really kind and attentive. Really glad to see such a place in our neighbourhood!

Good veg option near the tower bridge 🌉. But only rich people can afford the price. Even though food was tasty. It has done in facility. The place is less busy, (in 1 hour only we were inside, until finished our lunch 😌). Overall good, but expensive.

Amazing restaurant near the Bermondsey beer mile. So good I don’t even remember it being vegan. BYOB too so v reasonable, highly recommend!

Excellent service and a lovely meal, this mainly plant based / vegan restaurant is a lovely space to enjoy a delicious meal. Thoroughly recommended.

The food is out of this world. Went to Vietnam last summer and this restaurant brought back many great memories. Great service from Vanisha and a very lovely time. Will come over and over again!

Best pho i had since i was in Vietnam. Staff was super polite and friendly. Loved the tapioka topping in my fruit tea. 10/10 would recommend :)

Heerlijk gegeten, allemaal vegetarisch. Zelfs het drinken was lekker. Kokosmelk met mango pops

very clean, friendly personel, good and tasty meals,

Really really loved the Bahn Mi, with vegan chicken!

Jackfruit dish I ordered was tasty, flavourful and could have been mistaken for meat; bubble tea was good and reasonably priced - will definitely be back to try more dishes from the interesting menu!

Food was delicious, lovely flavours, staff were warm and friendly. Great for a light lunch I didn’t miss the meat. I will definitely go again and have already started recommending it..

My favorite dishes here are fried shrimp rice (R8 is the code I think) and Bún Huế (forgot the code). The fried shrimp rice was so good that I decided to write this review hahah! Simple, healthy, delicious. I’m grateful that we have this little restaurant in our neighborhood. Very clean, cozy and the staff is helpful.

Really yummy food, the phos are incredible!! Slightly disappointed that only black tea bubble tea are vegan 🥹🥹

Food was great! But i was greeted with an incredibly rude lady for the second time. Took me a back and i won't be returning which is a shame as the food is great and i am local.

This place is a gem. We booked it for 20 people for our Christmas get together. The host did an amazing job with Everything. The food was good and on time. They had various options for everyone including kids. Finally we loved their bubble tea so much that we asked for take away as well. 10 min walk or so from tower bridge and tube stations.

Love this restaurant! Staff are really lovely and friendly. Food is always on point, love all the vegan options. It's hard to find good vegan asian food, so I'm really happy I found this place! Also they serve yummy bubble tea and it's served in a glass not plastic!

This place could’ve been great, but I have several complaints now. When his place first opened it was really nice and I liked the food. I would order the same thing over and over and it was typically £10. Then last month I noticed that my order is now £11. Probably due to inflation. No big deal. But then today I order my usual again, and paid my £11, but this time they reduced the size of the box that the food comes in. It’s probably half the amount of food that I used to get for the SAME price. This is ridiculous. Enough is enough. I will not be going back here again.

Lovely staff, tasty good, cosy atmosphere.

Love the place! It’s our local go to for Asian and the food has been fabulous every time. The BYOB is an added plus. Just wish it was open later in the night. Highly recommended!

Super tasty! I’ve gotten takeaway twice and it was excellent both times. Flawless mock meat too!

Fresh and delicious - full of vegetables and perfectly spiced.

Just randomly passed by and grabbed a tofu pad thai. I'm not vegan and it was just fabulous. can't wait to go back - a great local find.

Kein Fleisch Ken Alkohol Sonst sehr gut!

Absolutely outstanding Vietnamese vegan & vegetarian restaurant. Huge range of options, and all my meat-eating friends loved it, too. Fresh ingredients, great flavours & cooked beautifully. Staff lovely, as well. Will definitely be back

Wide range of delicious bubble tea

Great food and great service! We live in the neighborhood and we decided to try this new place out. We had tofu and options and they were absolutely delicious! The menu is very extensive, with lots of choices. Will definitely be coming back to try their bubble tea. Great to have a place like this in the neighborhood!

Brilliant family run restaurant. Great taste. Ani although I am not a vegetarian, I love eating here as they make incredible veggie and vegan food. Can highly recommend the Buddha taste patty made with mushroom and their Malaysian Rendang curry with beyondmeat. Also try their Taro milk tea!

Great new spot in Bermondsey, wide food and drinks menu, and a modern vibe inside! Food had lots of flavour, I forget how good tofu can be! 😂 Special shout out to the Pad See Ew and the summer rolls!

Very tasty Vietnamese Bahn Mi here. The Nil beef taste just as beef, so flavourful. Well done!

Amazing vegan food. Loved everything we ate. Highly recommend.

i ordered fruit teas & wanted them extra sweet but when i tasted it, it tasted medium sweet, very similar to iced tea (minimal sweetness). other than that excellent service 👍🏾

Lovely staff and tasty food. Very glad to have this place so close to home.

Both food and service were fantastic, will be returning, this place is a hidden gem!

Good service, fresh ingredients, generous portion, decent choice of dishes and drinks, comfortable atmosphere. I personally recommend going for Tofu option rather than the mock meat options as the Tofu taste surprisingly good.

Delicious food and wonderful staff, a pleasure to have in the neighbourhood!

Loved the cozy ambiance that screams Asian culture. A delight for every vegetarian and vegan. A fantastic amalgamation of Asian culture and delicate tastes. A true delight to the taste buds indeed.

Absolute perfection, flavours are spot on. Highly recommend!

So much flavours in my mouth and kind service, definitely coming back soon!

I am so glad I stumbled upon this hidden gem in my neighbourhood. The best veg Vietnamese food I’ve had by far. The ingredients are top quality, I could really taste the difference between this and other places I’ve been to. The staff are so friendly and clearly have a passion for serving top quality food. My new go-to Vietnamese place 😊

Delicious food. Generous portion sizes. Reasonable prices. Will definitely be back here again soon.

Delicious! And I’m not even vegan!

Highly recommend this place if you want yummy authentic vegan food or just a bubble tea or Vietnamese coffee/tea. We were in London last month from Australia and came here for lunch. We tried a number of dishes and I must say the drinks and vegan food here are the best I have tasted in London restaurants, in fact better than many in Melbourne, Australia. Good variety of Vietnamese coffee and tea here, and refreshing bubble teas. Not to mention friendly customer service too. Location is excellent as it is a short walk to London Tower Bridge. We look forward to coming here again during our next trip to London. (Lien Bao)

Really delicious food and great service. The Malaysian Rendang was especially outstanding and so was the faux chicken and beef within all the dishes. I can't wait to try the baguettes for lunch. Byo alcohol.

Excellent food. The spring rolls are delicious. The staff extremely welcoming and attentive. Will definitely come back!

Had delicious lunch here of their special homemade mushroom +more patty and spicy glazed cauliflower. Terrific variety of vegetarian dishes, with vegan substitutes possible. I had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, substituting condensed milk with coconut milk. Yummy delicious

Great restaurant - the food and service are on point and they have a wide range of tasty dishes too.

Delicious food, generous portions and friendly welcome. Will definitely be returning 🙂

Very lovely dining experience. Tasty vegan food, great atmosphere, lovely staff. We got two appetizers: fried tofu and oyster mushroom satay skewers. Both were very nicely seasoned and served very hot. For mains we got (tossed) udon with tofu and Thai Pad See Ew (stir fried glass noodles) with fried tofu, which were both very delicious. The udon was perfect for people craving for not too strongly flavored food, like I do. It had a great balance between the tossing sauce and all other ingredients, bringing out a very nice and mild umami flavour. The glass noodles stir fry was also perfect, just as good as ones from other restaurants that use meat. For drinks I got a brown sugar bubble milk. It was the best item in my opinion, as the bubbles were at the just right texture, the sweetness level was just right (they also let us choose the level of sweetness), and they give options to skip the tea (so one can avoid a caffeine rush at night). The straw were made out of bamboo, so it earns a point on environmentally friendliness as well. Will definitely come again and try out other dishes and drinks from the menu.

This Vegan restaurant is a must try. A great selection of dishes. All very tasty. Superb service and great location. Highly recommend.

The second day in a row that we have good there. Great flavour, ingredients, and plates decoration. I would definitely go again soon!
