In 1998, Bodhi moved to Hay Street where he launched vegan yum cha which quickly became a fan favorite among visitors.
Two years later Bodhi set up at its current location in Cook and Phillip Park where guests can enjoy the lush surroundings and bamboo tree walls as they dine on a menu that has delighted vegans and non-vegans alike ever since.
There are still a few places left to book for lunch or dinner on the Bodhi website before it closes forever, but you better hurry as it fills up fast.
