3.5 stars - Edit
The food was good, although nothing extraordinary. Some dishes are labeled, but for others it's unclear if they're vegan or vegetarian. There are currently two listing for this exact restaurant, which is a bit confusing.

Solid option - Edit
This was a solid option - not bad but also not as great as other vegetarian/vegan restaurants I’ve visited in China.

Great option near the temple - Edit
Note that before 5 PM they offer a more limited lunch menu. Vegetarian place operating since 1910. They pointed out exactly which dishes were not vegan. We got the mushroom and gluten noodle set, soup dumplings, and wontons. Around the corner along the outside, they operate a vegetarian buns/street food stand which clearly marks what is not vegan. We didn’t get to try much here since we were so full from lunch inside, but the little pastry with nut filling was delicious!!

Hilariously bad service (waiter refused to give us a table until we ordered in the doorway) and was not too sure what was vegan/vegetarian or neither as the restaurant changed the terms for each dish. Not life changing food but to find veggie food in this spot was such a win that I was HHAPOOOOYYYYY

Good Chinese food - Edit
Nestled in the busy commercial and tourist district by Yu Yuan (Yu Gardens / City God Temple), this vegetarian restaurant is one of the oldest in the heart of Shanghai. The food is good and standard Chinese fare - dumplings, buns, xiaolongbao, zongzi / sticky rice wraps, eggplant, snow pea leaves, noodles, tofu, etc. It's not the best restaurant (if I had to only go to one place in Shanghai, this would not be it) but it works, especially if you're shopping or touring nearby.
Read moreThere's another dining room upstairs as well as an outdoors to-go stall (some of the items are surprisingly different from the indoor menu). There are English translations on some of the signs, and you can order with the waiter if you don't know how to use Chinese apps.
Pros: Location in the middle of it all

Really tasty buns, especially the green one - Edit
I came here (two different locations) twice and tasted different buns. My absolute favorite was the green (outside tasted a little like matcha) one, but the other two savory ones were really good as well.

Cheap and good location - Edit
Came here a few times as the food was very good value and tasty. The meal sets of noodles (i had the mushroom one) are particularly good value, you get noodles, mushroom sauce dish, some pickle/green garnishes, and a steamed bun all for less than £4. Mock ribs and sweet and sour mushrooms were really good and steamed mushroom buns and wonton soup were tasty. Staff were a bit rushed/unfriendly to us

Quick and delicious! - Edit
Was thrilled to find this restaurant right in the old town. Easy to order - we ordered at the counter and our waitress spoke some English and very helpfully pointed out what was vegan (and it’s also labeled in English!). The food was fresh and delicious.

Good warm food - Edit
We got a big amount of tasty food for a really good price, it was a pity we couldn’t finished everything because it was really good. We had to asked what dishes were vegan because some of them are not. What we didn’t like so much was the place, it was a little bit cold inside.

Delicious! - Edit
Delicious food! Right in the middle of super touristy area. Ordering was a bit tricky (couldn't get thr QR code on the table to work) but able to order at the counter. We had two types of steamed buns and noodles with soup. All fantastic! Just be warned the steamed buns come as a serve of 6 - so for two people we ordered too much, but took home as take away. Great prices too for the touristy area.

Buns! - Edit
While the restaurant is boarded up, take away is now available from a stall along the adjacent road (3 out of 4 buns are vegan). The restaurant is still open, but at limited capacity and gets very busy. Portions are huge, and we ended up getting quite a lot bagged up for later!

Try the buns!! - Edit
The menu is a bit small but provides some safe vegan options that will fill you up!
Read moreThe red bean, sesame and pakchoi buns are all safe and delicious vegan options.
Some of the noodles and mushroom dumplings are also vegan.
When I asked the staff, they said anything with the fake crab meat is not vegan due to egg, and the sweet potato bun was also not vegan.
Pros: Cheap, Yummy buns

Lots of vegan options - Edit
Fully vegetarian restaurant with lots of vegan options, including noodles and traditional Chinese food. Ingredients are clearly listed on the menu. Food is very reasonably priced and very tasty. I’d been in Shanghai for a couple of hours and was hungry, stressed and struggling to find anything vegan, so I was so happy to come across this restaurant. Staff speak some English and are really helpful at pointing out the vegan options, and were very kind to help me figure out how to use Alipay. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

Lovely vegan food in Old Shanghai! - Edit
Some dishes have ingredient labels and most of them seemed vegan.
Read moreWe shared the Shepard's Purse (wontons) in broth, one of the vegan noodles sets and the veggie bao's fried in sesame soy sauce. I can't remember the names exactly but you can find everything on the AliPay or WeChat app. We ordered and paid on the app, but we did use translate to understand most of the menu😄it's easy though! Good meal!
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Easy to find
