Thanks for informing us! Was about to go there. Was already suspicious that it is not on the weechat vegan mini app... looks like we have to compare the weechat vegan mini app and happy cow to find something that is for sure still exists

So Much More Than Nuggets, nuggets, nuggets! - Edit
Arriving back in Shanghai, after leaving 9 months ago, we had to come here for our first meal. The food is always consistently on point and I'm happy to say that is still the case. The tofu curry puffs, had to have the nuggets, the warm kale salad all brought back good memories. The staff too are always so kind & welcoming, this place has always been a go to when you just want a place to relax & enjoy great food.
Read moreOne of the first places we went to since arriving in Shanghai, as a vegan who eats poorly, I love my junk food so was extremely delighted to find chickenless nuggets that come with a delicious vegan mayo dip! The burgers are all good, having been through the list with the exception of the eel (no thanks). The pork burger tastes more like ham or bacon, not too strongly flavoured & the sweet and sour chicken burger is not too sweet or sour but just right. Nice fries & desserts.
Update, after just over a year in Shanghai this is my favourite place, I have brought vegans & carnists here who have all enjoyed it. The staff don't speak much English but the menu is in English & Mandarin so it's easy to order. I visit this place at least once a week & the food has never once disappointed me. The spaghettis are all really good especially the creamy truffle one. They make a great soy latte & have just introduced a tiramisu which I have yet to try. It is all vegan!
It's been over 2 years now I've lived in Shanghai & I've visited this restaurant more than any other, it's a favourite of mine, my girlfriend and our vegan friends, not once have I been disappointed by the standard of food or service from the charming staff. When I first came here I was blown away by the nuggets but now I've tried pretty much everything they do and the quality is always perfect. I love the mushroom spaghetti, the signature kale salad, but new additions like the Thai portobello rice served in a hot skillet and the truffle rice are exceptional.

Lovely place but the mall has seen better days! - Edit
We chose this as it’s really close to where we live. The staff were lovely and really helpful. Mixed feelings about some dishes as they lacked flavour. Burgers were great but they did over toast our buns! The mock nuggets were also fabulous and lovely drinks. The avocado wraps were bland and the Thai balls really needed a sweet chilli sauce so we’re quite dry but they we’re a lovely taste and texture but did not need the weird crunchy crumbs as this just made the dish even drier. Great generally and we will be back to try more dishes 😊
Read morePros: Great range of choices, Lovely burgers , Some great flavours
Cons: Some dishes were a bit under seasoned., Them balls were too dry 😬

Great burgers - Edit
The burgers were great and reason enough to come back. Most of the other dishes we enjoyed were also wonderful though a couple were just acceptable. The outdoor seating was relaxing and the service was great.

Great atmosphere, great service, great food - Edit
I wasn’t very hungry, so I just got the textured soy protein caeser wraps with vegan mayo but they were delicious 🙌🏽 with the chill out tea which was great as well and they would have come back to give me more water for my tea once I was finished however I had to leave.
Read moreThey also came back to me and took my teabag out when my tea was finished brewing 😂 so they are very attentive.

Memorable dining experience with mouth-watering food - Edit
Green Veg Café is by far one of the best vegan / vegetarian restaurants in Shanghai. Its food is unique, its service is way above par, and its ambience is absolutely cosy. I would strongly recommend this restaurant for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
Read moreUpon entering the restaurant, one is greeted by their friendly staff to get a table. We were pleased with our orders, which was their signature nuggets, delicious fried rice with mushrooms, and miniature mouth-watering chocolate mousse cake. Their affable staff were generally young and interactive, as they casually asked if we liked the food, and how we managed to find their restaurant, since we told them we were tourists. We revealed that it was through Happy Cow website. She immediately searched for Happy Cow in her Apple app, and happily found it! The only downside to this restaurant is its slightly pricey food, and most of the food portion is quite controlled. It might be costly if you ordered a lot.
On our date of visit, there were couples celebrating birthdays, and there were nuns dining too. The patrons were generally young and this place is apt for special occasion. This restaurant is new, clean and modern with a pleasant atmosphere. We travelled via train, stopping at Longhua Middle Road station. It is just within walking distance from public transport, and one has to take the lift up to the third level.

Great burger! - Edit
Had a juicy "chicken" burger with fries. The bun was a little too light but tasted good. The fries were crispy. Burgers are small so you probably want to get a starter or a dessert.

My favorite restaurant in Shanghai - Edit
普素 is the restaurant I most frequently visit in the city despite it locating super far away from my home. Basically all my non-vegan friends and family who visited all love it too. I have tried basically every items on the menu and my favorite are the warm kale salad(GET IT PLEASE I CAN EAT THIS EVERY MEAL FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE), pumpkin soup, Biryani Rice, truffle pasta, black pepper pasta, teriyaki chicken burger (the portobello is also so amazing, but more refreshing than filling), the tofu curry appetizer, chicken nugget, tiramisu........ Order anything and you would sure be very very pleased. The portion size is not the largest but that allows you to try many many dishes and the price is very cheap considering its amazing taste.

Very memorable and delicious eating experience - Edit
I’ve only been here once, but I was very pleased. I had the portobello burger which was delicious, and the nuggets appetizer. Ohhhh the nuggets.. so good.. proper vegan junk food. I don’t know how they make their mayonnaise, but wow. I was very pleased to know that burgers are half off from 2-5 pm, if I understood correctly.
Read morePros: Burger deal , The manager (owner?) chick rocks, Delicious food
Cons: Burger meal was not as filling as appetizer, but it states appetizers are for sharing in menu

Awesome place - Edit
This place is really nice and we went two times. The food tastes great, though a bit pricey. We had the burgers with the faux meat the first time. They are very small and if it wasn’t for me having a food poisoning a few days earlier, it wouldn’t have filled me up. Not really worth the price.
Read moreWe went back and the second time the charm. The pasta dishes are a must! We tried all three; pesto, bolognese and black pepper. The pesto was the best, but be prepared for a lot of oil. Really filling even though it doesn’t look like it when they arrive. Only around 50 CNY for the pasta.
The tiramisu is also AMAZING!
Staff can’t English, but menu is in both English and mandarin, so you’ll be fine with just pointing.
Just go here, it’s great!
Pros: All vegan, Nice atmosphere , Great tastes
Cons: A bit pricy

Best western food - Edit
The best Western food I’ve had in Shanghai. I love vegan junk food and this place really hit the spot. I had the sweet and sour chicken burger (comes with shoestring fries), soy nuggets with vegan mayo and a soy hot chocolate. For all this I paid around 100RMB, pretty reasonable. All were delicious. Can’t wait to come back.
Read moreDirections: take exit 1 from Longhua Middle Road station. Once you get outside, take the escalator immediately to your right- it leads to the 3F of the TOUCH mall. At the top turn left and keep walking, you’ll eventually come to it.
Pros: Delicious vegan western food, Nice staff
Cons: Location

The best place for Western food - Edit
The burgers, pasta, fried rice dishes are all really good, as are the avocado rolls appetizer (don't be fooled by the name, not that much avocado). The bread on the burgers is particularly good, and the burgers are creative -- my favorite is the beet one. They're not trying to be like meat burgers, but also they don't taste "vegan" in the negative sense I often associate with lentil- and veggie patties. I order from here so many times because it's quality stuff, if rather carb-centric. Props to their desserts too!
