Tempelküche: schlicht, authentisch und lecker - Edit
Hier gibt es eine große Auswahl an authentischen Gerichten. Geschmacklich fanden wir vieles sehr lecker, besonders die grünen Bohnen, die "Fleisch"-Spieße und die Walnussdumplings waren ein echtes Highlight.
Read moreBei den Brühen waren die Aromen teilweise etwas zurückhaltender – was aber auch nachvollziehbar ist, da sich die Küche an der traditionellen Tempelküche orientiert und entsprechend eher schlicht und natürlich gehalten ist.
Bestellt wird ganz unkompliziert über einen QR-Code, sodass auch die Sprachbarriere überhaupt kein Problem darstellt.
Ein authentisches Restaurant mit viel Auswahl und einigen richtig leckeren Highlights.

Really tasty, nice seating - Edit
I had a really nice lunch here and actually packed half the food to eat with some sides for dinner haha. The food was rather oily, but I guess that’s normal in Chinese cuisine. I really liked the dumpling soup and the spicy cauliflower.

Update, came here 3 times in a row haha it was that good! The orange chicken is a favourite for good reason, and the dry dumplings were perfect, would come back just for these dishes! Had fried beans, dan dan noodles and mapo tofu that were great too. Reasonable prices and easy to order via QR code that translates menu to English.

Some of the best food in Shanghai! - Edit
As travellers in a city as huge as Shanghai, this conveniently placed restaurant is fantastic. A huge menu offering some of Shanghai’s best dishes, this place is a must visit spot on the city. Great quality food and very reasonably priced. Definitely make sure to try the walnut dumplings for dessert. You won’t regret it!

Mixed - Edit
The mushroom stew was great, the crispy tofu wasn’t crispy (and with ketchup, should have read better) and the noodle soup was extremely bland. The walnut buns where good

Everything is mindblowingly delicious. My favorite was the eel 鳗波排 and the lamb skewer 孜然羊肉串. The 木棉豆腐（”asbestos tofu”）was great as well (funny translation in wechat)

Marvellous! - Edit
Just put the name "慧缘素食坊" at Amap and you'll be able to find it😄all delicious and cheap, food came very fast and the lady working there is very energetic working there, keep an eye on everything and everyone at the same time, she is very friendly and help you to find the restroom and give you also toilet paper. The lotus pancakes were amazing, the steamed and deep fried tofu cubes were impressive!!! The only sad thing was that the fresh pressed juices were already sold out (and we went there at midday). I will come back for sure!!! Highly recommended!!!

Easy to find in Amap - Edit
The easiest way to find this restaurant is by downloading Amap and copying and pasting the Chinese characters into Amap (long press the restaurant name in the Happy cow app).
Read moreAmap will lead you to the building and then it's on the second floor, you'll see the Happy Cow logo on the second floor in the shop window from the street.
Food was also really good!
