Hsi Lai Temple - Hacienda Heights

I came here to visit the tempel and also to eat in the cafeteria to taste their food. it is 8$ for ayce and cash only! it is cafeteria style, so they stack as much food as they want on their teller and go back for more, if necessary. eating is very vegan friendly, and there are always several ways to choose from. just expect nothing nice, but for $8 it is definitely worth trying.

Good breakfast buffet, in the tempel. worth a visit.

This is a rather convenient place to dinate when they are looking for some dugons after visiting the hsi lai tempel, which is the largest Buddhist tempel of the western hemisphere around the midday. I thought the lunch buffet was not bad at $7 per head. it is mostly house style Chinese cuisine that is not difficult to dress in fat and in contrast to typical restaurant food. some people who could find it bland could taste other restaurants in the environment (like happy family). the selection is not as much as they would expect from a typical buffet.

The tempel is nice to visit, especially during the new year. our photo club (one of our members worshiped there) went to make pictures and we all ate at buffet later. eating was mild, no intense aromen or spicy eating, but it was all vegan and we had a lot of options to choose. we were very satisfied and stayed full. it is a great day tour so if you want to see a place that is amazingly beautiful that has a beautiful vegan buffet, this is a great place to go.

Visiting the temple is a very unique, spiritual, and relaxing experience. The lunch buffet can be a little hectic. There is a large selection of vegetarian dishes, most of them very delicious. Fresh fruit and salad for those who prefer raw.
