Buddha Bodai Kosher Vegetarian @buddhabodai

Looking for authentic Chinese cuisine without the meat? Buddha Bodai has become a destination in Manhattan’s Chinatown for its extensive menu of kosher vegetarian and vegan dishes that recreate many traditional Chinese favorites while staying completely plant-based.

From dim sum and BBQ-style specialties to flavorful noodle dishes, soups, and classic entrées, Buddha Bodai offers a dining experience that appeals not only to vegetarians and vegans, but also to omnivores curious about how satisfying meat-free Chinese cuisine can be. Weekend dim sum service is especially popular, featuring items such as BBQ-style buns, turnip cakes, dumplings, and other traditional favorites.

Known for generous portions, authentic flavors, and reasonable prices, the restaurant has built a loyal following among New Yorkers and visitors alike. Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch special or a full family-style dinner, Buddha Bodai delivers a unique combination of tradition, creativity, and value.

On this visit, we were joined by Emma Purvey (@emmaukny) as we explored some of the restaurant’s most popular dishes and learned why this longtime Chinatown favorite continues to attract diners from across New York City and beyond.

From her first campaign at age 7 to performing Shakespeare in Venice, Italy, Emma’s path to becoming a professional actress has been shaped by a tapestry of experiences—modeling, broadcast journalism, and on-camera hosting. These roles opened the door to acting, but it was her decision to fully commit to the craft—training at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC and RADA in London—that marked a turning point. Emma’s work reflects both the caliber she’s achieved and the trajectory she’s on.

While acting remains her core focus, Emma’s storytelling extends beyond the screen. She’s directing her first docuseries using her broadcast background, starting with Love.Truth.Plants, a personal project supported by her fashion-for-a-cause t-shirt line, Moulton. Her platform My Beauty Diary—published in VegWorld Magazine and soon expanding to a major outlet—offers a behind-the-scenes look at how she beautifies from the inside out, blending wellness, empowerment, and purpose. Through every role she plays, behind or in front of the camera, Emma continues to build a legacy rooted in depth, impact, and authenticity. We will wrap up the episode hearing her career advice too.

That’s all your skin needs to glow...” - Emma J. Purvey @emmaukny
