Great options

Food was amazing, no complaints!! We had mock meats, fake duck, "chicken" kung pao, rice, tea. Service was slow, although we ordered before two large groups did, we were served later, so bring some patience😄

Cheap and Delicious

Located in the temple itself. Very yummy and cheap. Only about 50 ringgit for 4 people to have a full meal. The sweet and sour fish was very good. Ma po tofu was a bit bland. Good seaweed soup. Chow fun was very good too. Overall would eat again. Looks like all the food items are vegan but the drinks may not all be- Milo is not vegan.

Pros: Cheap!, Fast!, Conveniently located for touring the temple!

Nice and affordable restaurant

Great food options for groups to share but also for single people. Directly below the temple, for this location I expected something expensive, but it really is not.

Simple food

Very simple restaurant with few options, I had seaweed soup which was decent size and very good taste, not too salty. Good food for Temple visitors. Some mock options too.

Great prices and portion sizes

Went here quite close to closing. Didn't expect them to have much left, if anything at all, but my stomach was rumbling so I thought I'd check. As predicted, they only had one dish left- noodles. Huge portion size but average tasting. Only RM5 so can't complain too much!

Good Vegetarian Food

We had the lunch set and some iced tea. It was delicious. Place is clean and air conditioned. Would recommend it if at the temple.

Great location with decent food

Traditional Chinese food along with some mock food dishes. We ordered some classic noodles and fried rice to share as a family and the portions was huge even for a single person large dish. The taste was decent on these. The seaweed soup was refreshing but the spring rolls wasn't worth eating really.

We had trouble understanding the menu but the staff helped us out to some degree

Pros: Mostly good tasting , Big portions

Cons: Horrible menu

Full scale vegetarian restaurant

Located underneath the Kek Lok Si temple, this is a great restaurant with a huge selection of Chinese style vegetarian food. I have never seen the restaurant full of people, but that might be based on my own timing to eat around noon. You have to be somewhat familiar with Chinese food options to know what you will be ordering.

Amazing vegetarian Chinese food!

Loved going to Kek Lok Si and seeing the amazing sights. Then, hot, sweaty and hungry, my family and I found the vegetarian restaurant on our way out. It was nice and cool and not crowded at all when we went. We loved eating some of our favorite Chinese dishes in vegetarian form. The portions are big so we ended up taking home lots of leftovers which was fine with me! I can't wait for visitors to come so we can go back!

Pros: amazing food, good quality, air-con!

Good buddhist restaurant

It was so nice to walk into this place amidst all the tourists and trashy commerce around this temple and find a small haven. It was completely empty and they only had one set menu, which didn't bother us at all and we gladly took it. The set consisted of different veggies, rice, sauce and soup and everything had the perfect amount of spice added. The food was good and plenty, everything was clean and the price was not high at all. Couldn't have asked for a better place for a lunch break!

Not pricey, just tasty

Someone reviewed this place as pricey and so we were hesitant to try it. But then with the heat on a sunny afternoon we decided to go in anyway. The place was well decorated and kept clean. Turned out to be very good food and good value for money. For an air-conditioned restaurant the prices could be considered as inexpensive.

Chat with one of the waiter. Apparently the restaurant is not a business but run by the temple. So we felt good having such a good feed and at the same time making some contribution to the temple.

Pros: air conditioning, good food, friendly staff

Saw the temple and enjoyed a fine lunch

I had been looking forward to visiting this temple and it did not disappoint -lots to see. The restaurant is as you are entering the bottom part of the temple (sort of) and is easy to find. We had lunch there around 2:00 pm so we really were the only customers and it is a very large restaurant. We ordered three small dishes from a menu that offered a great deal of choice. The food was nicely spiced and certainly was enough for the two of us. The staff was attentive and efficient.

Pros: Good tasting vegan food, Interesting atmosphere

Great place at Kek Lok Si Temple!

A great place at Kek Lok Si, perfect if you are visiting the temple and need to grab some yummy food!

The menu is very large with lots of Chinese options using faux meat. This place is one of the more unique vegetarian restaurants on the island and worth a visit. However, prices are a bit high.

Pros: has AC, lots of choices, friendly staff

Cons: price
