Bodhi Restaurant Sydney

I've had nothing but good experiences here, always: it's a lovely spot at Cook & Phillip Park; service always seems pretty swift and the food is both quite cheap, esp. for Sydney CBD lunch, and delicious - and this is from a carnivore who's normally hostile to vegetarian food. In all, I can't recommend it enough - about the first place I think of when someone tells me they want to eat vegetarian out in Sydney. 

We had a really enjoyable lunch at Bodhi. The location is lovely for spring time, and the food comes out fast enough for a work lunch break.

While being a vegan restaurant, there was a surprisingly large selection of dishes, and even our friend who "doesn't like Asian food" was happy with the coconut potato balls and vegetable spring rolls.

I was determined to eat dumplings and by the time they came round I was stuffed from all the other choices we hadn't been able to decline. Naturally I ate them anyway.

The only real downside was the service. We were given drinks menus when we first sat down but no one came back to take our order till half-way through the meal. By the time we got our drinks we were almost ready to leave.

We would have liked some extra sauces, but based on the service for drinks we saw no point in even bothering to ask. I'm not sure why the service was so bad. The place wasn't rushed and the staff just all seemed to constantly disappear. The level of service I'd been warned about beforehand so I wasn't surprised, although a little disappointed.

Still, I'd definitely recommend Bodhi to anyone looking for somewhere around this end of town to lunch, or for any vegans who love their yum cha!
