The place doesn’t have a very good dining place, though the food is decent. All the food is made to order, and the meat imitation is chewy and zesty. But the seasoning is more on the salty and greasy side. I was going to give it a 4 for the overall experience, though I’m inspired by its green. They don’t promote plastic utensils or bags, and the to-go box is biodegradable. If most restaurants follow their green, then we would live in a healthier world.
This was a great surprise on our road trip. The team here was really nice and very helpful with our selection process as many good options had us a bit grid locked. I would recommend this to anyone, but especially any vegan or vegetarian that finds themselves in the area.
The food was great! I have been vegan for 5 years, and when I want to eat out it feels like most food taste like junk food, but TasteBudz has a healthy approach to replace alot of those junk foods. The nutritional Yeast cheese on the fries was great and the gentleman at the counters recommendation for "pork" on a BLT was awesome! Loved the art on the walls and my lady loved her "chicken" sandwich. Next time I'm in Ukiah I'll stop in again.
Beautiful vegan food, tasty and hot. Loved the tofu, which is tough to do well. Peaceful environment with good energy. We split a plate of yam mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy with bbq tofu and two egg rolls-only $15 total! Thank you for the experience.
Best vegan food around.
Dining area inside and out, not a lot of space but that's okay because their service is fast.
Street parking available.
Will definitely return.
I've just had a fantastic first experience at Taste Buds. I've had to begin a fairly restrictive diet recently, and had been wanting to find a place that I could eat out and still stay in line with the new diet. Both the owner and chef of Taste Buds were very helpful in explaining their selections on their menu.
They offer quite a few dishes that can be ordered, or you can choose from the many great items from their hot bar (which change daily). There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and parking along the street in front of the building, as well as in the back behind the building.

My taste buds are dancing they are so happy. We tried everything on the hot bar and it was all beautifully seasoned. Will definitely stop here again next time we go through Ukiah! Yum!!!
If you are vegan and are in ukiah you owe yourself this gem. First the staff here are truly awesome nice and friendly. The food was amazing the Rueben I had was the best. I have had Rueben from other places this was the best even being all vegan. the food is locally grown and non gmo and pesticide free with no biotic help either. Secondly the atmosphere was very inviting between the hand carve chair in the corner, down to the salt lamps. The place is a great example thay the American dream is not dead. The staff told me it had been around for 7 years. A must eat a must go.
So glad I decided to check this place out. Awesome vegan food choices and very friendly staff. If I lived in Ukiah, this would be my hangout.
Yum!! And extremely friendly staff :-)
