I came here solely for vegan cheese. I didn’t see any. I did buy some soy chixkkn nuggets and patties. I couldn’t read any of the foreign language. But. I will say these soy items were more tasty and realistic than the mainstream brands found at large grocers. I’d recommend a trip. The best find was a vegetarian bouillon.

I came here all the way from Orange County because my family from PNW requested some vegetarian food from this specific shop. Only to find an un-friendly owner(?) who wouldn’t even tell me what item was her best seller. All I wanted to do was to buy the popular items for my family to try but ended up buying $ 35 worth of blindly choosing fake meats, that may or may not be any good. Will not be coming back. Throw me a bone if you want my business.

Best place to shop for Vegie food that taste like meat but pure vegie. Lots of variety at very reasonable price. I am very excited to find this place and want to spread the word going vegetarian is very easy when you shop at Bodhi

I just visited this place and approached the counter sitting two Chinese women. I asked one woman sitting by the cashier a question in Vietnamese. She continued to sit there in stone face watching her movie on an iPad. She appeared to be the boss/owner. The other woman got up and addressed my question. They then spoke in Mandarin. In business, there is something called: Customer Service. You don’t have to smile but at least answered the customer’s question when asked. I will not buy anything from this place. I may just come in and take her picture one day!!!

Gahhh this place is my heaven! It’s so hard to find good vegetarian ingredients at the market. Now I don’t have to settle for the mediocre vegetarian meats at places like Ralph’s, I can always come here for some delicious fake meats. They sell frozen dishes and products that you can easily make yourself at home. Well, I don’t cook myself, but my boyfriend sure does know how to make these ingredients into a delicious dish. The frozen meats I always get are the chicken leg, the beef that you make in black pepper beef, vege bbq pork, and crispy soy chicken(similar to popcorn chicken). I love all of them but of course it all depends on how you cook it. I suggest you look up recipes online and experiment with eat meat. The non frozen stuff are also delicious. I got three packaged things and they’re all dry meat, very similar to like beef jerky. I don’t know the names of these things since they’re all in Chinese but if you look at my picture that I posted on this page, out of the top 3 packaged meats I have on top, the middle one is the best !! It’s the one that has a little bit of yellow on the packaging. I highly suggest you get that one because it’s so BOMBBBB! It has so much flavor and it literally almost tastes like meat. The other two are okay too, but the texture was just too hard for me to chew. I will definitely be coming back, although I should because they take all my money :(I splurge when I come here, it’s horrible.

I have to make a stop here, a special request for my dad. He has been a vegetarian for over 10 years! Thank goodness for a store like this for anti-meat eaters! I wish Hawaii has this store… Everything so expensive back home and they don’t carry many varieties like Bodhi. The only vegetarian food I love is Jai, bean curd & tofu! I give my dad credit!, I know that I won’t survive! This store is a small store and there are lots of vegetarian supply to choose from. Prices are very reasonable and so grateful they except credit cards! The owner is friendly, helpful, and she is a vegetarian as well. I was able to get my dad’s goods! Vegetarian Saimin noodles & vegetarian imitation pork. I bought taro cake and seaweed for me. Hopefully this supply will last him til my nexts visit. Thank you Bodhi Vegetarian Supply!

I’m pretty sure this place supplies all of the area Chinese veggie and vegan food restaurants with all their isolated soy protein-based foods. It’s cheap and all from the Orient. It doesn’t seem high quality or all that healthy. Soy protein isolate is in most of the fake meats and people should understand what it is. The people who run the store are very nice and they have a huge selection of what appears to be lower grade processed vegetarian and vegan foods.

A friend told me about this place years ago and I love it! The two women who work here are incredibly friendly! I usually come here to stock up on the jerky that they have. This is the only place where I have found it in large packages and its incredibly inexpensive and delicious! I definately recommend this place!

I have been going here for almost five years. One of the two asian ladies is always there, very nice and friendly, and ready to answer any questions I have. They have tons of variety, from fake over easy eggs to fake shredded fish to eat with rice porridge. I always buy their large bags of frozen meat(its cheaper), and stock up. If you can’t find something, ask. They can either tell you when they’ll get it, or may have it hidden away in another freezer. For you meat eaters out there, try the fake fish, chicken drumsticks, chicken patties, or beef steak patties – they will not disappoint. I do believe they got rid of most of their products that contain egg albumen(it was always noted on the ingredients), but if you don’t eat egg, please advise them and they’ll help you pick out your products.

My parents are total vegetarians and this veggie stuff is all they eat. And my mom makes bomb ass dishes with the veggie meat, so I love to eat this stuff too. The store itself isn’t anything fancy, literally just a small simple Asian market, but it’s loaded with plentiful veggie meat options. Most if not all, are soy based. It’s located in a plaza, so there’s plenty of parking as well. The lady that is usually there speaks chinese, vietnamese, and english so dont’ be afraid to ask her questions! This is my go to spot when I’m craving some veggie meat!

My family showed me this place last year since my fiancé is a vegetarian and he loves it! There’s so many different types of fake meat here you wouldn’t believe it till you see it. Fake shrimp, fake tuna, veggie-duck, veggie-lobster, etc. It makes it a lot easier to substitute different meat for Chinese dishes. Even if your not vegetarian I think you would enjoy this place too. Also the price range from affordable to just plain cheap. The people who works here are really nice too!

This place is fantastic. Even if you’re not vegetarian, there’s something here for you. The prices are excellent, and it has the biggest variety of fake meats I have ever seen.(Veggie pig’s feet, anyone?) The mushroom based ones are excellent, they even have mushroom based veggie jerky. The frozen mushroom«mutton» makes any soup wonderful. It’s easy to miss, since it’s a small sign in a large strip mall… but don’t pass it by!!! I drive all the way from the West Side because they have me hooked.

This is a great place to buy Asian vegetarian food. It’s a small store with a freezer section full of mock meats. The store sells lots of dried and canned vegetarian food, such as dried seaweed, TVP(including flavored ones), soup bases, noodles, and even canned vegetarian pâté! The lady who works there is really nice and helpful. She speaks several languages, including Cantonese, Mandarin, and Spanish(and probably English, but I haven’t tried talking to her in English).

Bodhi has the best selection of veggie meat in the area, and some of their products taste better too! We love the veggie black pepper beef, veggie ham(I make veggie ham(in lieu of Spam) musubi for my vegetarian friends), and veggie crisp chicken(great skewered on the grill). I always prefer the soy protein products over gluten faux meat because I find that it has a better texture — less rubbery. Go there and cook up your own veggie banquet of stir fries and hot pot or soup! I always stock up when I visit LA.

I LOVEIT!!! I rad a review like a week ago and i couldn’e believe taht was so close to my house and that i also passed by so many times without noticed… so i went… and let me tell you, is a small market but with so much good stuff, is unbelivable how much fake meat you can find there. I am trying to no eat chicken anymore, and also canned tuna, and they even have fake tuna. You also would find fake, shrimp and many more types of meat. The lady there is very nice and she answer all my questions(and i love to make questions!!!) I really recomend this place … give it a try, you will love it!!!

AWESOMECAKES! This is like a butcher shop for vegetarians! EVERY type of fake meat, you can even find Vegi-Lobster here(it’s pretty good, too). MUSTTRY the Vegi-Duck in the reddish pouch(defrost in the micro, heat on FULL till it’s hot, crisp in the oven, serve with wild rice — YUMM). It’s mostly frozen stuff here, and they offer many popular items super-cheap in bulk(such as breaded chicken pieces, and vegi-drumsticks). The bulk items are also much more eco-friendly, since there’s only one bag(and it’s large enough to reuse for catsh*t duty once you’ve finished the product). Their prices are reasonable and they’ll know the answer to any questions you have. Oh, and the pigeons in the parking lot are fat and always friendly. CHECKTHISPLACEOUT! Vegetarians, you will NOT be disappointed!

Every vegetarian in the city needs to know about this place. The largest selection of frozen fake-meat products in LA, and the freezers are nice and cold(unlike those of some nearby supermarkets I could mention but won’t). Also, a pretty comprehensive array of dried soy-granule-and-puff items, soup ingredients, and snacks. Watch the sodium, though. Another good place is K & L Vegetarian Market, on New Ave. just south of the 10( ).
