    Relaxing place to have a refreshing fruit tea or bubble tea on a sunny day or a comforting warm bowl of food on a cold rainy day. Short summary Atmosphere - relaxing and homely Staff and management - friendly and helpful Kid friendly - yes, kids love to choose toppings for the bubble tea Menu and range selection - main oriental foods and good selection of fruit/bubble teas Recommend to friends and family - yes, if you are want a good fruit tea Cleanliness - yes and calming Notes - must try the fruit teas they are so refreshing and delicious. Also, you have the option of less sugar and it still taste yummy. The lychee tea is the best I’ve tasted in London.

    EDIT: I don't agree with the reply. Mistakes do happen. This is a feedback which could be useful for other customers. The manager refused to speak to me and once again I'm being blamed. I've said it before in the restaurant and I'm saying this again, I was clear while placing an order that I can't have mushrooms because I'm allergic to them. Not because I don't like them. I repeated it three times because I'm allergic. I also asked for a substitute and my server said that the chef doesn't have any substitute vegetable for it. I then requested for mushrooms to be served separately so that my family could eat it. Because I'm allergic that is why I asked again to confirm if the broth was made with mushrooms because I didn't want to sick. Food was served promptly. While most of the food did taste pleasant, it mainly consisted of plain noodles with hardly any tofu or vegan protein and veggies. Considering the prices, food wasn't value for money. Also, I could've landed in a hospital as my allergy wasn't taken into account when preparing food in the kitchen. I had made it clear that I can't consume one of their ingredients when placing an order. I was later given an option of having Pho without the allergen but I didn't have it. I wanted to give my feedback to the manager who refused to speak to me because he was 'busy preparing food'. Not only was it disrespectful but also showed lack of interest in a customer's feedback. Servers were attentive and their service was good. Restaurant was clean but had some strange smell. I was offered 20% off (£6). Sadly, I don't recommend food here.

    I celebrated my birthday here. First time experience. We'll be going back again. All round tasty vegan food as drinks. Recommend nil chicken wings. Very good portions and attentive waitress. It's a jewel having this restaurant on the Southside of the river.

    I just had an amazing lunch at Buddha Taste. The food there is always top class. I really recommend it for vegan and if you like supporting families' business. The flavour, portions and great variety make the place special.

    Next to your typical chains, Buddha Taste is a unique standout in Blackheath. Super innovative, tasty vietnamese dishes. It's become our regular.

    Absolutely LOVED the food, everything was DELICIOUS!! we even ordered the same dish once more, it was the glazed tofu, absolutely amazing!! Flavours were on point with every dish and the service was perfect. Our food came quickly, it was lovely and hot and the decor was simple and clean. It was nice and warm inside which was very much needed when coming in from the cold. Couldn't fault anything, even the prices were reasonable, hope to return again soon!

    Can't rate the food highly enough and the waitresses were so lovely. Can't wait to come back again and have already planned what we'll try next time. All of the food was great but the highlights were the banh mi (beautiful crusty baguette and pickled veg with a perfect hint of sweetness) and the bun hue (broth was packed with flavour with a light touch of spice, noodles were perfectly cooked, and so many toppings!). I'm a meat eater and didn't feel like I missed out at all, as the meat alternatives were tasty and had good textures. The Vietnamese milky coffee was sweet and delicious and the perfect antidote to the wonderful savoury flavours of all the food!

    Found this amazing little gem when the place we meant to go is actually closed on Tuesdays. The interior is cosy and welcoming, the staff is polite and helpful. This was the first time I tried meatless food in London but there’s no compromise in the taste! We got the set menu where you can choose one starter, one main and a drink. Great taste starters, the pho broth full of umami. Five stars!

    Lots of good options in bubble tea manu, which I have tried most of the time. I liked the soya milk ones more than the normal ones. I have also tried the dessert, not a big fan but was ok, it was interesting to try new few fruits in there. The overall environment was calm and quiet. As I did take away, the packages and services are good. The cleanliness was spot on everytime. Most of them time there was no queue. It would be interesting to try the foods as well.

    Had a really lovely lunch here after coming across it by chance on my first visit to Blackheath. It ended up being one of the best meals I’ve had recently, and one of the most affordable. I ordered the Bun-Sa, rice noodle bowl with fake “chicken”. It’s beautifully presented and comes with a spring roll. Very filling and delicious taste. I also ordered an iced coffee with oat milk. It was unsweetened and great tasting like cold brew. I’d highly recommend this place, even as a non-Vegetarian. Enjoy!

    Absolutely delicious food. We were a party of 4 and each of our dishes were absolutely fabulous. The starters were amazing as well. It being a hot day, my favourite part were the drinks - iced Vietnamese coffee hit the spot and also tried fruit tea for the first time which was absolutely delicious. The staff was also wonderful and very friendly. Highly recommend it!

    Spring rolls looked and tasted frozen, the insides were powdery and not fresh at all. Noodles were sloppy and overcooked. Partner’s rice dish was salty and lacked any proper veg, had very few pieces of tofu

    Lovely food - would deffo recommend! Can’t wait to visit again!

  • 3/5 Bandi C. 11 months ago on Google
    Good veggie food, although poor service. We ordered the pineapple fried rice, but sadly couldn’t find any chunks of pineapple in it! The aubergine scallion was really good and Malaysian rendang was good. Make sure you check the allergens with staff before you order - I ordered a dish with no gluten in it, and they served it up with onions fried in wheat flour. Had I not queried my dish, I would have had a bad reaction to the gluten. They swapped it with no problem.

    Quiet evening with excellent veggie viet food! £18 for 2 courses and a drink is a steal for London standards. Nothing to complain about.

  • 5/5 Emma B. 2 years ago on Google
    I was so excited to see that a vegan Vietnamese cafe had opened in Blackheath! Visited as soon as possible, and it was even better than I had hoped. A wide ranging menu, with lots of options, and a lovely team too! We love Banh Mi, so went straight for that, but look forward to trying more dishes. The only improvement would be if we could enjoy a beer with our food too 😉

  • 5/5 Henry M. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a refreshing experience. And a gem of a find. With high ceilings and big windows, Buddha Taste is brightly lit to compliment it's clean, family-friendly atmosphere. The staff are also very affable and willing to help and explain the menu. The food - all vegetarian - is expertly made by Toan and the crew in the kitchen downstairs. I highly recommend the spring rolls and the tasty Bun Hue. Couldn't recommend this joint highly enough.

  • 5/5 E “Juju” L. 4 months ago on Google
    Food was very tasteful. We had been waiting for this place to reopen to try it out and it was satisfying. A three course mean or two starters and a main would be ample if you have a big appetite.
