Very nice food

Was just there and had a delicious lunch. They were very friendly and you order on tablets with English descriptions of the food. At least one member of the staff speaks English very well and overall they were very attentive.

Pros: Many food options

Cons: Busy, Not cheap

Traditional Chinese Vegan Food

Had a really lovely meal here. So nice to finally be able to try a vegan alternatives to some of the traditional dishes I’ve seen on my travels through China. The sweet and sour ‘pork’ was particularly good. Helpful staff, just a shame that it’s closed so early.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Traditional food

Cons: Opening hours

Favorite

My favorite restaurant so far in Shanghai. My go-to dishes are the pork ribs, mushroom buns, and unagi/eel. Staff is so friendly and food is served quickly. Love this place so much.

Great food, fair price

Big selection of Chinese dishes ordered on ipad with pictures. The owner speaks good English, the staff is friendly. Food comes out fast, free welcome tea is offered. Went there 3 times and tried many things, very tasty across the board.

Amazing

Definitely the best vegan food I have had in Shanghai. I went here with my family so we ordered a selection of different meals and everything was absolutely delicious, flavourful and well presented. My new favourite spot.

Good food

Of course it's pricey if you compare it to the street food or the all-you-can-eat for 30 RMB. But compared to other vegan restaurants it's really cheap, we paid around 170RMB for more food than 2 people could eat, but we could take the rests back home in containers

Pros: Cheap, All-vegan, nice English-speaking staff, Tasty food

Cons: Spring rolls had a fishy taste, Not very elegant/cozy ambiance, but very clean

Best vegetarian food shanghai

Amazing veggie restaurant with lovely staff. They spoke good English so was easy to communicate, we aren’t vegan so didn’t need to ask- but sure they can accommodate if needed. 100cny for our meal which was reasonable. Recommend everything we had! The eggplant, faux chicken and walnut buns.

Pros: Lots of options , Lovely service - English speaking

English menu, friendly waitress, good food!

My waitress suggested I get the sweet and sour dish which did not disappoint. I went around 2pm so I nearly had the entire restaurant to myself but I ensure you, all of my food was very fresh!

Pros: Lots of vegetarian options, Close to bus stop , Great prices and variety

Awesome vegan chinese food.

I was happy to find an easy to get there Chinese restaurant. Very clean restaurant, friendly staff and very yummy food.
The prices are totally reasonable. I paid 78 cny for sweet and sour pork with rice, another side and a big cup of a flowery tea. Will go again.

Pros: Is now fully vegan , Friendly staff

Good experience for foreigners

Easy to find thanks to photos on HappyCow! Everything we ordered was sooooo good.. Shanghai has many vegetarian and vegan restaurants, but you must try this one. Loved the “meat” on a stick.

Sehr leckeres veganes Essen!

Für jeden etwas dabei. Viel Gemüse bis zu Fleischersatz. Nur asiatisch. Man tippt am iPad seine gewünschten Speisen per Bildauswahl an. Mitarbeiter spreche kein Englisch. Essen (Mock-meat Tuna) und dumpling soup waren ausgezeichnet. Kurze Wartezeit (aber auch gerade nichts los). Leicht zu finden.

Excellent!!!

The Veggie beef and pork dishes were delicious as well as the mapo tofu!! The wontons were alright but still worth a try. Overall had a delicious vegetarian feist and would definitely come back. The staff was friendly and the location was cozy and warm!! A lovely lunch!

Fresh and healthy

All vegan restaurant with friendly non-English speaking staff. Picture menu with English description. I uploaded a few pictures of the menu but there are additional items available. Note the correct building design in the photos. The old one is wrong. Everything I ordered was fresh, healthy, and delicious. Not surprisingly there were monks eating while I was here.

Good vegetarian / vegan food. Did not speak English but provided a menu with pictures and English translation. Their review from whatever organisation assesses the cleanliness of the kitchen in China is just Satisfactory. Reasonable prices for Shanghai.

Pros: Near sight, not a lot of vegan restaurant in China

Good and affordable vegetarian/vegan meals

We came here spontaneously because the vegetarian restaurant we were searching for was closed and we screenshot this one to have a backup, just in case. At first we were worried because the last review was written one year ago but every review written on here is still accurate. It's easy to find but we had to compare the Chinese name on happy cow to the letters on the restaurant to see if it's the right one because the English name isn't there. They don't speak English so you just have to point at the pictures on the menu. The menu is in Chinese but they gave us a menu with sticky notes with the English names beside the pictures. We ordered 4 different meals to share (3 girls), the fried noodles Shanghai style, dumplings, a potatoe and red pepper dish and tofu skinned rolls. I think everything was also vegan but I'm not sure. The noodles were our favorite and the portion was quite big. The dumplings (4) were also very good, same with the veggies. The only thing we can not recommend are the tofu skinned rolls. But we asked for soysauce (via translation app) and it was ok.
Everything was very oily!
In the end we payed 78 yuan.

Someone (no guest) cut his fingernails on the table next to ours which wasn't very appetizing and a but disgusting.

Pros: reasonable prices

Cons: very oily

Super Yummy!

We really liked this restaurant, especially the dumplings. Yummy!

Thank you to whoever posted the picture of the exterior of the restaurant - the signs are all in Chinese so it made it easier to find.

Wait staff told our daughter, who speaks Mandarin, that the entire menu is vegan.

We recommend it!

Veg in Huaihai area

I wasn't immediately sure O was in the right location as the name on the restaurant is entirely in Chinese with no English characters. It's a lunch caliber place (not plush or luxurious) which was exactly what I was looking for. The staff did not speak any English, but they did what they could to communicate (it's amazing what a smile and some patience can do to help you get your waiter to help you out!). Fresh brewed oolong tea was served complimentary while I wandered through the menu (ask for the English menu). When I asked for the bill they first brought complimentary slices of watermelon. It took a while to finally get the bill (don't expect to get out of there in a hurry). All on all a nice place for a filling vegetarian meal without worrying whether non-veg ingredients were present like some of the non-veg restaurants do.

Pros: Price, hot and fresh food, Complimentary hot green tea and fruit.

Cons: A bit slow to bring the check when you're done.

Excellent restaurant

To get there, take subway line 8 and get off at Dashijie subway station. There is an extensive menu with pictures and also a menu that has both pictures and English. The descriptions are accurate. All what we had was excellent.

Pros: excellent food, extensive menu, good value

yet another mock meat place

This place has mostly mock meat dishes, and the service was nothing special either, but prices were reasonable.

Cons: too much mock meat
