  • "What an amazing addition to downtown! The food is fresh and there is an option for everyone. My favorite has to be the spring rolls with picking your own protein choice. The options are endless, the sauces are fresh and the food is to die for. The staff is so friendly and is helpful with menu choices if you are stuck and need a recommendation. Now to talk about the drinks! The Ube-Bae Matcha Latte has to be my favorite and I even get an extra one to put in the fridge for the next day because the addiction is real. They have seating which I took advantage of before a music circus show and it was great! Can't wait to go back again."

  • "I highly recommend stopping by here to try some delicious food. When I came across this place on UberEats, I couldn't resist checking it out in person. And let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a variety of dishes, including lemon grass chicken rice plate, teriyaki chicken rice plate, grilled pork rice plate, lemon grass chicken and Taiwanese sausage noodle bowl, and pork spring rolls. And for drinks, I tried dragonfruit sugarcane, Thai tea, and Ube latte. Trust me, the food and drinks exceeded my expectations! Each item was bursting with flavor and freshness. I particularly appreciated how they individually plastic wrapped the spring rolls to prevent them from sticking together. The staff and manager were incredibly friendly and provided fantastic recommendations. Needless to say, I will definitely be a returning customer."

  • “Buddha Bowls and Rolls is a standout addition to Sacramento's dining scene and quickly becoming a beloved staple. This Vietnamese-inspired gem serves up an impressive selection of fresh, flavorful dishes perfect for any craving. From create-your-own spring rolls, banh mi sandwiches, and hearty noodle or rice bowls to a tempting array of appetizers, there's truly something for everyone.

    One of the highlights of Buddha Bowls and Rolls is their wide range of protein options, catering to both meat lovers and vegans alike. The freshness of the ingredients is evident in every bite, and each dish feels thoughtfully crafted. Their drink menu is equally remarkable, featuring unique options like freshly pressed sugar cane juice (you can even watch them juice the cane right there!), alongside matcha and rich Vietnamese coffee.

    For those with a sweet tooth, their dessert selection is just as enticing. Buddha Bowls and Rolls offers delicious and unique cookies, including mango sticky rice, pandan, and ube varieties--a delightful twist on traditional flavors that's hard to find elsewhere.

    The staff is always friendly, making for a welcoming experience every time. Whether you're a Sacramento local or just passing through, Buddha Bowls and Rolls is a must-visit spot that guarantees a memorable meal.”

  • “The freshest, most delicious spring rolls and sugar cane drinks!! Choose your protein and sauce, so many options available. We also got the night market crispy tofu bites- amazing! This place is a must try- tons of fresh made rice bowls, noodle bowls, and spring rolls. The sugar cane drinks are made from actual pieces of sugarcane pressed in front of you, and the drinks are so refreshing! The spring roll comes wrapped to maintain freshness. It has amazing flavor balance with a surprise crunchy element. We will definitely be back!”

    - Michael H.

  • “Fast, fresh, and delicious! We were craving some fresh spring rolls and found this place here on Yelp. We got the rolls with the grilled shrimp, and some noodle bowls, one with coconut shrimp and the other with the smoked five spice teriyaki chicken. All of it was super fresh and so good, will definitely be back to try some other dishes and I want to try all of the protein options.”
