Dinner at Laughing Buddha Vegetarian Bistro, Oakland

Friday night fun at mostly vegan Chinese restaurant with some vegetarian dishes. The food is fantastic. There's a back patio that might be for us, depending on final count. It's at the foot of Piedmont Ave, branching off from the Kaiser complex. On the 12 and near the 51A and 57 lines. 12-minute walk from MacArthur BART and neighborhood parking too. 5 stars on HappyCow
