Easy to order and tasty vegan menu. - Edit
Not easy to find, but the Google maps is mostly accurate. It's inside a arts and craft centre so you have to poke around using Google maps. Prices are reasonable, food are tasty and super easy to order as the app is in English. It's close to the Zen Hotel.

Meh - Edit
The 龙抄手 (wontons) were not bad. The 麻婆豆腐 (mapo tofu) was not good, just tested like mala powder.
Read moreNot so easy to find. The entrance looked like the shop was a renovated space. Inside it looked like a closed food court. But after I went up the stairs I found the actual restaurant area.

Extensive and Enjoyable - Edit
An extensive, interesting pure vegetarian menu with local dishes such as clay pots, noodles, rice etc. Some more unusual salads, stews and tofu options too.

Huge variety of vegan dishes - Edit
Known by its English name as "A lotus on the water", this restaurant will leave you spellbound by the huge selection and variety of food on offer.
Read moreIt was almost overwhelming to have so much choice. For this reason I think the restaurant deserves repeat visits.
Pros: Varied

Saved The Best To Last - Edit
After being very let down by the temple restaurant close to here, I wasn't expecting much. We spotted a sign from the street for vegetarian restaurant but also one for Water Lotus (I think this is it so may have changed names?). Anyway we went upstairs and were seated, it was rainy out and quite cold inside but very nicely decorated. WE asked the waitress if it was vegetarian or vegan and she came back with a translation saying they are vegan. The food we ordered was similar to dishes we have had at Michelin star rated Wujie in Shanghai and they were as good if not better! The sweet and sour lions head mushroom was beautifully presented, the batter crisp, the sauce not too sweet just perfect. If only we'd come here on our first night instead of our last! We had a nice chive bread, some noodles and mixed vegetables, I tried a sandwich which was nice too. Downstairs is a shop of products the weirdest being vegan chicken feet, just why?

Great, and actually there! - Edit
Lovely food, but had wasted too much time looking for another elusive vegan restaurant in Chengdu, only to find out that when they say they close at 9 pm, they mean it. We were given a 2 minute warning to eat up at 8.58 pm
Read morePros: Easily found, follow 2nd most recent reviewer.

Just great - Edit
Here’s how to get there easily:
Read moreFirst arrive in the crossing between Shuncheng st. and Jianghan rd.
(Simply find it in your mobile maps).
There you’ll see a new street starting called Jinsi st. with a long wall on it’s east side.
Go along the wall and a few meters after it ends look above and you’ll see the store circular sign. It's here in the photos.
I also added their business card.

my favourite in Chengdu - Edit
I found this by chance on my way to the the temple.
Read moreFood was great - especially that 4 treasures dish I had (see picture). I recommend getting dandan mian instead of rice. It's pretty cheap, very yummy and comes with a peanut sauce.
It may seem a bit expensive compared to other places, but considering what you get I think it is still among the best value for money in Chengdu.
Pros: amazing food, huge variety of dishes
Cons: staff can be a bit inattentive
