You will be stuffed if you get the tasting menu , but it is a great way to sample if you’ve never been to the restaurant . Food is excellent—esp the Szechuan beef !

Amy Johnson Cook

Buddha Beef is always a winner but if you are with a group the chef 's tasting menu is absolutely the way to go. A little bit of all the delicious things & available as meat friendly or vegetarian .

kim

Tasting menu at lunch is great! Hot and sour soup amazing! Buddha beef , make sure you get some greens with any of these dishes, you'll need something to brighten up some of the flavors

Demetrius Bagley

best authentic Chinese food my buddy Steph has ever had! "Their mock eel is legendary-if you mention that dish to anyone who’s had it, they’ll start salivating"

Homemade dumplings were a perfect start. Szechuan Beef #localgrassfedbeef was out of this world-best I've ever had. #chinese #vermont #foodiespr

Speaking from my experience in growing up in Beijing, The Single Pebble is truly the only restaurant in the region that serves authentic Chinese cuisine . Visit for lunch as they have great specials!

sean

Almost everything is available with a tofu or seitan substitution which is very rare. The food and space is great. One of my favorite places in Burlington.

Jeremy Krantz

Outstanding Chinese restaurant . Every single dish there is delicious. Try their mock eel dish made with mushrooms , it's world-class and their claim to fame.

Austin Sipes

I crave the mock eel and the Buddha 's sesame beef , both of which are vegetarian and incredibly salty and umami in the best way.

Payton Swick

Great vegan options , but make sure to ask. Some items that looks vegan are not by default. Love the vegetable pot stickers !

Daniel Kaufman

String beans are amazing. As is the cucumber salad . Nightly specials are a must. Duck and lamb off menu are incredible.

Bruno De Regge

Great food in a traditional setting, the Thai basil beef deserves a recommendation, but honestly: the whole menu looks delicious.

Jordan Morano

Get the potsticker dumplings pork or veggie . And keep in mind the large portion size when ordering one of the delicious soups !

Matthew Breuer

It’s all way too salty and remarkably unrefined for how it’s pitched. It feels like a dated take on gourmet Chinese

Brittany Winslow

The absolute best place for a group meal in Burlington with friends and family.

Ben Bonaccio

Tons of vegetarian and vegan options . Get the Mock Eel and Buddha 's Sesame "Beef ".

Karen Coppola Spensley

Do the taste menu, the chef sends out several courses of his favorites, you never know what's coming but it's all delicious

Heather Flournoy

Family style . Get medium spicy ma po tofu and mock eel .

George L

Really wanted to love this place, but it needed up being average Chinese food at an above average price. My girlfriend often gets Kung Po Chicken , but really disliked the dish here. OK dumplings tho.

Lindsey Gauthier

This place is best enjoyed in a large group sharing everything

Jonathan Cardozo

Buddha 's crispy "beef " is my favorite restaurant dish anywhere!

Best Chinese restaurant ever - in Burlington, VT!

Ashley A

Two words: mock eel . Really yummy gluten free options as well !

Judge Of Food

Not authentic , whitewashed, disgusting, expensive and more. The bowls and plates are small, the hot and sour soup is literally a bowl of vinegar. Never come to this place ever. Waiters are American.

Justin Stafford

Everyone share for the best family style experience of your Asian food life!

Marisa Boyles

This place is delicious! Getting the mock eel is a must!!!

Andy St.lawrence

This place was phenomenal. And I don't even like Chinese food

If they have the crab cakes , do yourself a favor and ORDER THEM. They are a dinner special so they don't always have them. . .

Ka'ra Johnson

They are willing to work around a shellfish allergy if they can.

Joshua Pothen
