Our New Healthy Happy Hour - Buddha Belly

Thankfully there are plenty of items on the menu at Buddha Belly in Santa Monica, CA that don't result in actually attaining a Buddha style belly.  We have previously been hitting up Sushi Roku for happy hour $5 healthy veggie rolls and $5 kirin light beer.  Buddha belly has $4 kirin light and is right across from the electric charging station for my crazy healthy electric car.
While there are no happy hour specials on food, the regular menu offers a few vegan items, but the 8 vegetable fried rice can be done steamed with NO OIL sub for brown rice.  Its a HUGE portion, enough for two and the vegetables are AMAZING!  Serious top quality produce.  The staff at Buddha Belly is also highly trained and really care about top notch service.  Our server was outstanding and the chef even made us a special oil free vegan ginger sauce to liven up our veggie and rice.  They, of course, have soy sauce and sriracha.   

 

The atmosphere is similar to a PFChangs.  Get a booth and enjoy the 3rd street promenade periphery people watching.   There are also other locations!
