A third Buddha Bowls & Rolls is coming to Sacramento, according to a post from the restaurant’s social media.
Self-described as an “Asian Chipotle,” Buddha Bowls & Rolls is a build your-own-bowl and banh mi restaurant that got its start in Sacramento.
A video tease of the new location shows the blurred image of the former Chando’s Tacos at 5644 J St. in East Sacramento.
A different video from April also teased the new location. Co-owner Justin Fong said the new restaurant would not be in the downtown, and would have more parking options.
“This is gonna be a different one,” Fong said in the video. “This is gonna be like our first standalone Buddha.”
The night market crispy tofu noodle Bowl at Buddha Bowls & Rolls in Sacramento is ready to serve on March 13, 2025.
Chando’s Tacos abruptly closed all of its Sacramento locations in July 2025. It reopened three locations following a three-month hiatus.
Buddha Bowls & Rolls currently has two locations in Sacramento, 801 14th St. in Mansion Flats and 715 P St. downtown, according to its website.
Buddha Bowls & Rolls on 14th Street is open Mondays to Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays, the restaurant operates from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The P Street location is open from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The restaurant also serves build-your-own spring rolls and sugarcane drinks, tea and Vietnamese coffee, according to its menu.
“Buddha Bowls and Rolls celebrates foods and flavors representative of the Asian-American experience,” its website reads.
