hard to find but worth it - Edit
I searched for this place for about an half of the hour! It's hidden but thanks to the photos of the other reviewers I found it. You just should cross the road and find the banner with green leaf. The stuff didn't speak English at all, but the menu is doubled in English, and there are a lot of pictures. You should know - the portions are HUGE. It's written in the menu. I've tried some dumplings and there were 20 pieces in my portion. But they can pack everything for you. The prices are good, about 15-20 RMB in average. Didn't like the noodles. Lots of locals there. The stuff is very friendly.
Pros: Great food.
Cons: Hard to find.

Cold place - Edit
This place is at least 10-15 minutes walk from the subway XiZhiMen. It's placed in a courtyard.
The atmospehre is not very cosy and in winter it's quite cold inside.
We ordered several kinds of bamboo, which were all delicious. But the menu is not too different from other vegan or vegetarian restaurants. Some mock meat dishes tasted real, even though their look and texture didn't - scary...
Cons: cold atmosphere
big restaurant, good food and service - Edit
The restaurant was big, two floors, the food is good -- a lot of variety to introduce to non-veg friends! Also the service is very friendly, we ordered a vegan cake which is to be delivered there, and the restaurant offered to pay for it until we get there, which was really nice of them. Buddhist environment, more grown-ups go there than younger people.
Pros: good service, big space, lots of food variety
Cons: food may be a little oily

Disappointed - Edit
I arrived at 12:00. The restaurant was half-full. Kind of noisy due to several kids there.
The food was oily, but the taste was still good. You have to wait some time for the dishes to be served. RMB 50 per person and I was really full.
