How it compares in Chinatown and nearby New York City
Mei Lai Wah is the quicker snack-and-bakery move, so choose it when speed matters more than sitting down for a full vegetarian meal. Buddha Bodai Vegetarian Restaurant is the better fit for diners who need a proper vegetarian restaurant format, while Mei Lai Wah makes more sense as a casual add-on before or after another stop.
Cha Kee is the stronger cross-shop for a more contemporary Asian meal at a known $$ tier. Choose Cha Kee when ambience and a broader dinner feel matter; choose Buddha Bodai Vegetarian Restaurant when vegetarian access is the deciding factor and booking ease matters more than polish.
Mission Chinese Food, Peking Duck House, Lei serve different diner needs. Peking Duck House is the clearer group occasion choice, Mission Chinese Food is better for diners seeking a more personality-driven meal, Lei is the alternative to check when a newer-feeling room matters. Buddha Bodai Vegetarian Restaurant wins when the brief is simple: vegetarian Chinese dining in New York City with low booking friction.
