A really great Chinese vegan buffet with noodles, rice, sushi, vegan chicken, vegan beef etc. and nice dessert (ice cream, fresh fruits, although some desserts are not vegan but vegetarian). A really nice place in the heart of Madrid. Definitely recommend :)

Great experience - Edit
This was one of my favorite places in Madrid that we ate on. It was much cheaper than other meals I ate in the city and this was a all you can eat buffet. All of the savory dishes were vegan, some of the dishes that I remember were noodles, woks, fried rice, springrolls, "beef"- and "chicken"- stews, sushi, and different salads. Not all of the desserts were vegan which was a dissapointment since the savory food was vegan. But the had a fruit salad, fresh food and a vegan cake to choose from. All of this for only 8.90€ And it's located in the city center, definitely a place worth visiting of you like Asian cuisine!
Pros: Affordable , Mostly vegan, Nice personnel
Cons: Not everything was vegan

Un chino vegano ¡por fin! - Edit
Amplio buffet libre con diversidad de platos. Todo vegano excepto algún postre vegetariano. Lo único que se echa en falta serían unos cartelitos para saber qué es cada cosa porque no pone nada y comes a ojo.

Tasty food - Edit
Quite a typical Chinese all-you-can-eat place.
They also offer a take away box that you can make yourself. However, the box is quite small and cost 4.5 Eur, so not really a good deal. It's better to eat in.

Pros: gran variedad , buffete vegetariano
Cons: bastante fritanga , pero de vez en cuando esta OK

A great place to fill up. - Edit
This is the second time I've visited here after a previous trip to Madrid in 2014. A great selection of mock meat and vegetable dishes, sushi, salad and some lovely deserts as well. Really friendly and helpful staff and at a fantastic price.

¡Que puta locura! - Edit
Buffet libre de auténtica locura, mucha variedad y muy rico. Tallarines/arroz estándar. Pero la imitación de carnes con gran variedad de salsas es una locura. Hay algunos entrantes también curiosos, sopa de "aleta de tiburón". Los makis no muy allá. Y a los postres ni he llegado. El precio es muy bueno.

Casi muero en el intento - Edit
Mucha comida.
Si te gusta cebarte, este es tu lugar.
Cosas diferentes y muchísima variedad.
Es famoso por su buffet libre, aunque también tienen carta.
Yo comí demasiado y estuve fatal después, pero por haberme pasado comiendo. No volveré en la vida (ni a ningún buffet libre), pero lo recomiendo.
Pros: Muchísima variedad.
Cons: Buffet libre con una bebida.

Amazing chineese food! - Edit
It's difficult to believe that there are no meat, because all recipes look like the real ones: chicken with lemon,oister sauce beef....are amazing, taste like the originals but are vegan. The best option if you love chineese food.

One of my favourites - Edit
I love this place. First off: it is not haute cuisine, but still really nice. And, it gives you more than worth your money, the buffet always slightly varies (although thank god they seem to always stock up on vegan brownies lately) and the staff / owners are just about the nicest people I have met.
Another big advantage is that there is always place...not because it doesn't get crowded, but because they have two floors; if one fills up they open the other. AND, as it is a buffet, it means they don't get stressed or make you wait for your food.
The only disadvantage is that we end up here way to often than is good for my budget (in spite of the great price) - simply because it is so convenient and tasty.
Pros: Lots of Choice, Lovely People, Lots of place for everyone

Average - Edit
I was excited because of the all-you-can-eat buffet idea, since in Brazil it's a very common kind of restaurant and I hardly find such a thing in Europe. But I got disappointed about all that oily food that slips in the plate. They could have more salads and don't put oil in everything. Also, water shouldn't be charged. It's not awful, but Madrid has other vegan places to go that are way better than Shi-Shang.
And why do they not give up jelly and yogurt and become a vegan restaurant? It's an easy step and nobody will stop going there because they don't sell jelly or yogurt anymore.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Oily, Few options of salad, Jelly and yogurt aren't vegan

good chinese buffet - Edit
We liked this place a lot. It was clean and well laid out. The food was tasty if not spectacular. The people who serve you are very friendly and helpful.
Sometime you just feel like you want to eat a lot. You can do that here even staying away from the fried foods. There is plenty for vegans to eat.
Pros: well located, good service, reasonable prices
Cons: lots of fried stuff, sometimes not hot

Average Chinese Buffet - Edit
Wen't here last Monday evening with my brother. He would not have known that there was no meat in the different dishes, had I not told him.
The buffet had all your typical dishes that a Chinese restaurant usually offers. I enjoyed the ones that I tasted, but all of them were very high-fat. They didn't even have any plain rice, only fried rice which was oily.
A nice place, friendly staff and the price-quality ratio was excellent.
Pros: Variety, Price, Staff
Cons: Taste, Oily

MUY BUENO, EXCELENTE ATENCIÓN - Edit
Parece un típico chino pero adentro es todo vegano (excepto algunos postres) Ademas venden cosas veganas y tienen un calendario colgado del santuario wings of heart.
Si llegas justo cuando estan cerrando, te atienden igual, es gente que sí tiene ganas de trabajar. Así da gusto.
Pros: Variedad, Excelente atención
Cons: No hay papas fritas, Tienen gelatina

Great idea! - Edit
It seems a classical chinese restaurant, but once inside you'll discover that everything is vegan (except for a couple of desserts, clearly labeled as vegetarian).
It offers an all-you-can-eat buffet at lunch, drink included (even beer!) for only 10 €; alternatively you can choose from some very cheap menus.
Everything is tasty and the "fake meat" really looked and tasted as real meat, so impressing that as a long term vegetarian I couldn't finish my plate!
Strongly recommended, I'll be back on my next trip to Madrid!
Pros: Cheap, Tasty, Vegan
