"Absolutely Delicious!"   My Rating
6 slo0go	Posted on: Tuesday, September 08, 2009
	Review: It's the best vegetarian restaurant in Shanghai for a reason! We had a mushroom soup, mock crabmeat (in a cute crab-shaped dish), mock eel, and mock chicken skewers that were flavored with lots of cumin. Absolutely delicious! I wish we could have gone back a second time.   Pros: Excellent food * * Cons: Napkins are not free * *

"Disappointed at Godly's"   My Rating
1 Totesveggi e	Posted on: Friday, May 15, 2009
	Review: This was my first visit to Godly's in Shanghai and will most likely be my last. I came in around 8:45pm, after aimlessly looking for a good place to eat. I was instantly excited to see the open sign and the door open to this vegetarian restaurant. The servers seemed less than thrilled to welcome me. I realize it was later in the evening but even when I left it was still open. The dishes I ordered were mediocre at best. The shredded curry chicken shouldve just been titled "shredded curry tofu," as the flavor and texture did not taste like "real" fake chicken, haha. Basically, I couldve cooked this at home. The cabbage rolls were overpoweringly sweet. Before I had a chance to order a second tsingtao, I was handed the check. The prices weren't bad, but I still expected more, especially considering the location. Presentation was weak and service poor. I felt like I was an intruder rather than a paying customer.   Pros: Not expensive * Serves alcohol * Semi-decent selection Cons: Poor service * Mediocre dishes * Poor presentation

If this is the Nanjing location, it sounds like the service I received there after arriving at 8:45 one night. Definitely best to go to restaurants earlier here--around 6-7 is normal.. response by flamekat - report abuse -

"Cheap food, not bad"   My Rating

	Review: I rented an apartment right around the corner from this place, and went in not even knowing it was vegetarian. How great to have it so close! The food is good, and you get a lot of it for a very low price. Lunch for 2 was 79rmb ($12) and a bowl of soup is 13rmb ($2). Great place if you're nearby, but better food can be had at Wu Guan Tang.   Pros: Fast * Cheap * Good Cons: No English * Fake Meats *

"Good grub"   My Rating

	Review: This is a no-nonsense neighborhood noodle shop. As long as that's what you're expecting, you won't be disappointed. When you sit down, they will hand you a menu and expect you to order pretty much immediately. Even if you ask them to wait a minute, they will leave for about 20 seconds and come straight back. TIC. Most people come here for a quick meal of either a bowl of wontons or noodles. The wontons are very good - heavy on the cilantro/coriander. The noodles are also pretty tasty, but tricky if you're trying to share. There are many other dishes to choose from, but there are no pictures, the staff only speaks Chinese, and only about 25% of the menu items are written in English. They will try to get you to order those. They will point and point, but ignore them! There are better dishes - you just have to be adventurous. Point at one of the Chinese only items. Try one that is about 28-38 yuan. You will most likely get a delicious concoction of mushrooms, vegetables, and mock meat that has been cooked until bubbling in a clay pot. Or maybe a delicious stir fry. Much better than stir fried potato and pepper strips, right? To be fair, one English translated main dish is worth trying - the veggie black pepper steak. It's stir fried with carrots and is very nice. Don't bother with the mapo (spicy tofu) as you can get a much better version at Vegetarian Lifestyle. They might try to warn you that something is spicy by telling you it's "la". This warning seems to be inconsistent with the actual spiciness of the dish, so unless you really hate spice, disregard this warning as it could mean anything from a drizzle of chili oil to 5-6 fresh chopped chilies covering your food. Plain rice isn't listed on the menu, so if you'd like that, ask for "mi fahn". Service here is simple. The staff can be pretty friendly, but probably not on your fist visit. No individual plates like in other restaurants and as always here, food comes as it's ready and not in any particular order. They have beer, water, and soft drinks available. When you go to the register to pay, consider taking some of the packaged steamed buns for a snack later. They are stuffed with spinach and are quite handy to keep around when out and about. If you want something sweet, walk down Wukang Lu one block and turn right. On the right side of the street is the sister shop selling products such as cookies. Dinner for two can go from 40 yuan for wontons and rice to about 100 for several dishes.   Pros: good value * fast service * close to my apartment! Cons: no picture menu * small space, so can be crowded at times * closes early
