Good but could be anywhere - Edit
As another reviewer put it nicely, the concept is well known for fusion cuisine. Had the puri puri balls with something inside, rather bland and uninteresting. The maki rolls had an interesting flavour arrangement with the sauce and a few peeled small tomatoes and very quite pleasant. These were two dishes, a single one will not get close to be filling;, each is going to cost you about $10 which appears to be the standard price for basically everything, even the brownie is going for ca. $10. For Beijing this is rather expensive.
Read moreThe location is in an embassy area and the particular "friendship square" it is located in will make you very happy if you like seeing wealthy people.
It is certainly not bad food, you could have it in basically any other hip city in the world though.
Pros: Can have very good flavour arrangement
Cons: Quite pricey, Unpleasant area

Staff and food lovely! - Edit
A really nice treat to finish our holiday. We had a pizza, kebab skewers, salad and the highlight was the wonton soup. I had the brownie to finish which was amazing! Definitely set up for the western palate. Compared to other brining prices it’s a little expensive, but delicious.
Read moreBest part was the staff, the waitress was so lovely, so friendly and chatty. I am pregnant and she took extra good care of me. It was a really special way to finish the holiday.

Amazing vegan food. Most items are fusion Chinese and Western food. The restaurant itself is cozy and the staff are lovely too. The mushroom skewers are a must.

Yum - Edit
I missed chocolate so much during my weeks in China and the chocolate brownie dessert was a dream! All in all, it was such a fantastic menu that choosing out of all the great options was really difficult. Simply thank you.

Great by Beijing standards - Edit
I’ve been going regularly to Duli in Shanghai for years, but only recently did I find out there is a location in Beijing as well!
Read moreMost of the dishes are the same but the menu does vary. Flavors are exactly the same from what I sampled.
I will say that I prefer the vibes and ambiance in the Shanghai location. It feels much better run and the space is better decorated. This one feels more industrial. But overall it’s way better to have Duli in any city in China than to lack it. Definitely 5 stars!

Lovely vegan food and fabulous customer service - Edit
I recently had lunch with a friend of mine at this vegan restaurant. The service was quick and we were served lemon water. The staff were very friendly and took good care of us. The vegan food was delicious and presented very creatively. It’s an excellent place to relax and chat. We’d be very happy to come back again next time. Thank you.

Overhyped - Edit
The concept is fairly easy to understand and not very original. Take two dishes that usually you don’t see combined, and fuse them into one. The result is ok for sure, but definitely not up to the hype

A Fantastic Vegan Restaurant That’s Truly Pet-Friendly - Edit
This is absolutely a fantastic vegan restaurant - and what makes it even wonderful is that it’s genuinely pet-friendly -clean, tidy,l and comfortable for everyone. Well, I brought my two doggies, Stephanie and Alice, along with me. Both waitresses at the front counter were incredibly considerate and kindly provided purified water for my babies, such a thoughtful gesture. While I was there, I also noticed a doggy activity event happening in the backyard. It was really interesting and heartwarming to watch - a lovely touch that makes this place stand out.As for the food, everything was delicious, decent - and incredibly fresh. To beat the summer heat, I ordered a non-alcoholic drink with ice cubes - it was so refreshing that it felt like cooling down my very soul. Highly recommended for vegans and pet lovers alike! 😄

Excellent food! - Edit
Duli is a fantastic example of western inspired dishes with local Chinese influences. A now fully vegan restaurant, Duli is excellent for a light bite at lunch or a full dinner option. Set in a beautiful area of Beijing, Duli should definitely be on your list of places to go!

DuLi proves vegetarian food can be bold, creative, and unforgettable - Edit
As someone who’s always on the hunt for exciting vegetarian spots, DuLi blew me away with how they blend Sichuan flavors and global comfort food so seamlessly.
Read moreHighlights for me were the gongbao pizza (crispy crust, perfectly spiced tofu, that iconic sweet-savory heat) and the dandan sauce gnocchi—who knew pillowy Italian dumplings could pair this well with rich, nutty Sichuan sauce? Even the simple mapo tofu hummus felt like a fun, clever take on two classic flavors.
I love that they’ve kept so many plant-forward options even with the addition of cheese dishes now, and every bite feels intentional, not just “vegetarian for the sake of it.” The space is warm and stylish, and the menu feels like a love letter to both tradition and creativity.
Just make sure to come early—we heard they sometimes close mid-afternoon if dishes sell out, and you definitely don’t want to miss these one-of-a-kind plates.

Yummy food and friendly staff - Edit
A fully vegan restaurant with perfectly English-speaking service. Simple deco with good vibes and nice music. Dishes are nicely presented with creative yummy sauces. A good selection of natural wine and price is very reasonable. Could either be a place for dinner or just to have a quick drink.
Read morePros: yummy mushroom dishes, good selection of natural wine, many healthy choices of food and drink

Beijing's absolute hidden gem of plant-based dining - Edit
This vegan restaurant is an absolute hidden gem in Beijing! It's located in a really cool old factory building that hosts art exhibitions from time to time.
Read moreThe menu is Asian fusion cuisine — 100% vegan, of course. MAPO TOFU hummus, roasted curry cauliflower, sichuan kou shui pani puri is best! They also brew their own cider, kombucha, and kvass right in-house.
The owner is a Beijing local who truly knows her natural wines, and both she and her team speak excellent English. Cash and POS payments are both accepted. The place has a warm, cozy, family-run vibe, the music is fantastic — not to be missed!!!

Sophisticated Chinese-Western cuisine - Edit
Cool restaurant in a hip area of Beijing.
Read moreThe prices are maybe the highest I've seen in China, except actual gourmet places, but the quality is great and the dishes are really special and different from the usual Chinese food so you should definitely at least give it a try.
Mapo hummus is obviously a must. As a middle eastern I can attest to how good the hummus itself is. The Mapo tofu on top is a great mix.
The mushroom foie gras was another highlight. An amazing appetizer! I also drank an Amazake for the first time, with some berries, and really loved it.
When I was there they did a pop-up collaboration with a Swedish chef, so they had some even weirder dishes! Like cucumber granite with tofu mousse, and aromatic asparagus with rice cakes. Not everything works but I love how experimental they are.
Pros: Creativity, Presentation
Cons: Pretty expensive

Wonderful!!! - Edit
We went last-minute there driving with DiDi because we were really hungry and the only (almost) fully vegan restaurant that is not so far away from us and open until 10 pm. We arrived and we were warmly received. The menu has tons of options and everything looks delicious. Portions seem to be few, but while eating you start to feel yourself really satisfied due to the quality of the food. We ordered the pizza (really spicy! I don't like spicy food and didn't notice that, but it was really delicious despite its spiciness! The pizza dough is simply perfect!!!) and the tofu burrata, to drink with kombucha and tropical smoothie and a tiramisu as dessert. The tiramisu was the best one I've had in my whole life. Not so cheap for Chinese standards, but if you earn in euros or USD it is totally acceptable, because the food is really amazing and tasty!!! I totally recommend going there because worth it! The staff is incredible! And for not being vegan I am not sure, so far I looked at all menu pages no dish is made with animal cheese, my guess is that it is still fully vegan.

Flavor Bomb!! - Edit
The food here is incredible if you like big bold flavors. Whoever thought to pair mapo tofu with hummus was a genius! And the mushroom skewers are the best thing ever. The spice levels are perfect and have just the right touch of mouth numbing mala. We also had the vegetable curry which was good.

Amazing food and incredibly friendly people. I tried three options and all were very good. Visiting from Sydney and was struggling with food options and in search of a good vegan meal. This place saved my trip and now I feel much better about returning to Beijing. If you’re a vegan in Beijing this place is a must.
