Buddha Chay: New vegetarian Vietnamese joint has officially opened
Those who mourned the closure of Yaletown’s Do Chay location back in November will be happy to know that a new, but familiar, concept has officially opened in the space.
Buddha Chay – “chay” means vegetarian in Vietnamese, and this new concept is not related to Do Chay – has taken over the 1269 Hamilton Street address, offering similar fare to the former tenant.

The menu is entirely vegetarian, with some vegan offerings as well, in addition to modern twists on Vietnamese classics.
During its soft opening period, Buddha Chay will be offering patrons 10% off until January 31, 2023.
