Good plant-based Chinese cuisine, great value

Puti is worth seeking out, offering some of the tastiest plant-based food in town — and easily the best value if you’re hungry enough to take good advantage of the flat-rate all-you-can eat pricing. You can help yourself to the buffet and also order as many made-to-order dishes as you like using your mobile device. There’s plenty of variety on offer, ranging from fresh and healthy to fried mock meats, etc., so there should be something for everyone. Their house special soup is particularly recommendable.

Note that the restaurant is not entirely vegan: as of our visit in Jan 2024, they were serving Haagen Dazs ice cream made with cow milk, so be sure to enquire about dessert ingredients.

Service was remarkably warm, helpful, and efficient.

Enjoy! #Veganuary

Great food


There's a huge selection different foods, and everything I've tried was super tasty! Not very oily either. Friendly staff
Take the lift to the 4th floor.
~50yuan

Edit: I came here for the second time at around 19:30. The food was much better when i came here at 5pm.

Absolutely recommendable!

Beautifully situated place in a buddhist temple just next to a wonderful park! For 50 yuan you can choose from a huge selection of vegan dishes from the buffet. There is even a soup station where you can put together your own ramen soup, which is then freshly prepared. Friendly staff, delicious food and great value!

Pros: Huge variety, Great value

Nice looking temple, head up to the 4th floor. Staff was very friendly. We were very happy to have so many options after having some difficulty finding options in the streets.

Pros: Lots of options , Hot plate, soup, dumpling, drinks, dessert/fruits, You will find plenty for only 50rmb

Cons: We went late so some food was running low

incredible place

I went to food heaven!
I keep it short..but I could talk for hours about it. And coming here after travelling as a vegan in China, is incredible. No pork oil, no pork pieces, no chicken feet. All vegan and wonderful. Combine your own soups, have dumplings, spring rolls, steam buns or sticky rice. Sushi, noodles, rice, vegetables, mushrooms, seitan, tofu, fresh fruits & wonderful deserts. Puddings, cakes, dried fruits. And a tea buffet too!!!! And everything FRESH too. The surroundings are wonderful too! I'm gonna dream about this place until next time

Great Big Vegan Buffet :)

Went in the evening on a Monday at about 7.00 pm. very quiet place at that time. The buffet was very diverse and quite tasty and filling. I ate two full plates which I thought was kind of greedy but the enthusiastic ladies in charge still tried to encourage me to eat more. I promised to come back which seemed to appease them. 50 RMB. I will go back again this week...definitely recommend for hearty food and a cute relaxed atmosphere :)

amazing buffet restaurant

This is a wonderful place, although the directions from HappyCow are incorrect (they lead you into the park, while the restaurant is on the outside of the park, directly at Siamen Rd). You go up to the 4th floor (4F) and go up to the counter to pay 50 RMB. Then they give you a set of plates and you can eat all you like from the buffet. It's totally delicious: lots of different veggies, different fried snacks, steamed buns with sweet content, sushi, stir-fried veggies, soups, fruits etc etc. Highly recommended!

Pros: excellent food, large variety

Cons: you may end up eating too much ;-)

Excellent in every respect

Ate here twice on 170916 and 17. Address correct at 305 South Siming Road, Xiamen. Is in a 3 or 4 storey red building beside Hongshan Park just a little after Zhenhai Lu intersection heading towards Xiamen University.

This is a Buddhist buffet (costing 50CNY per person) with a very wide selection of dishes, some cold, some of the dumpling sort, some cooked veges and mock meats, along with various hot and cold drinks and fruit dessert. Too many to try in one meal. Don’t seem to use garlic or onion but do use ginger. Chilli in a number of dishes but not particularly hot. Staff quietly preparing some food within view. Clean. Gentle Buddhist type music. Popular in evenings when we went but lots of tables.

Pros: Wide selection of good food, caringly prepared, Easy to find, Fairly cheap

Cons: none

Best place in the city!

As a local, I have to recommend this place to all the fellow vegetarians and vegan. This is the best place in the city without a doubt! A ton of options for only 50 yuan! Parking right underneath the building too. Avoid Saturday night cause it's usually the busiest
