I love vegetarian food, especially when it's a celebration of vegetables and grains; whole, natural foods cooked to perfection. Buddha's Veggie has some tasty, tasty food, but I just can't get over the fake meat thing.
The first time I went to BV was a few years ago and I was blown away - it was tasty stuff - and meatless! It's a novel idea. But each time I have it, I think more about just how much stuff goes into covering the fact that you are eating overly processed soy (seriously, just look at the ingredients listed on soy "meat" products!) Or maybe BV is serving up tofu...but you never can really tell because they try so hard to mimic meat that they've masked what is actually in your food.
The things I do like about Buddha's Veggie are, well the veggies! The vegetable dishes are fresh and yummy and often less commonly used produce. The rice is cooked to perfection. And, for some people, there is something to be said about being able to taste "ginger beef" when you don't actually eat meat.
I kind of chalk Buddha's Veggie up to a tasty novelty - but it's not something I'd want to eat regularly.
