Very convenient for vegans - Edit
During my stay in Beijing this was the only place I ate out - five days in a row.
Read moreAs vegan food isn't always easy to fine, Vege Tiger was a good and safe option for me.
It's a buffet restaurant with plenty of dishes to choose from: soups, salads, mains, sides, desserts, drinks...
A bit more expensive than average, but decent food.
Apparently there's even an option to become member and receive a discount - like spending 3000 yuan and getting 500 for free. Good thing if you're staying for a longer period of time. However, almost nobody speaks English, so it's good to go with someone who speaks Mandarin.
Food might become lukewarm at times, or run out, but usually always plenty to choose from - it's very unlikely you leave unsatisfied.
Not so many drinks though, also might run out more quickly.
Very nice soups, I liked them the most, even tough they are notably the least fresh foods there (may be from day before, just heated up again).
Desserts wasn't so much my liking - try yourself.
Staff ok, but not overly attentive or helpful.
Notorious lack of napkins.

Nice buffet - Edit
Had the buffet between 17:30-20:00. I arrived at about 18:15 and the food was still plenty and warm and it wasn’t crowded at all. There were a lot of dishes, also vegetables and soups and fake meats, and even a lot of sweets. A good variety. They spoke only a little bit English and had English explanations at the food, listing what was in there. Of course it was still a big buffet, so a bit impersonal, but the actual food was fine. The drinks were interesting though, strawberry juice and so on, not really everyone’s taste.
Read moreI paid 68 Yuen.
When I asked them if they were vegan, the staff explained that they were vegetarian, without meat, fish, eggs and milk. That was enough for me.
Pros: Many options, English lists of ingredients
Cons: Impersonal style, Strange drinking options

Good but a little expensive... - Edit
The food was good but the buffet price is kind of expensive only because of the location.
Read moreSuhu has another all-you-can-eat restaurant near Tsinghua University and you pay at least 20¥ less for practically the same food. I guess it's good if you're in that area and you're hungry though.

A saviour for vegans in Beijing - Edit
So stoked to find this vegan paradise and have a filling, decent meal. All of the mains are delicious, especially the eggplant. Myself and my friends did not enjoy the desserts, but that could be because they were very traditional Chinese desserts with little sugar.

Great location, decent value - Edit
Location main selling point. Detailed descriptions of each dish in English. Good value, wide variety, all you can eat. Careful with opening times, when we went it was closing down around 7.30pm some dishes being emptied. However you might prefer to go when it is a bit quieter, I can imagine it is very popular at some times.
Read moreWe went at 11.00am another time and (from what I could understand) it seemed that we could sit down but could not start eating until 11.30? I think they just have to wait until all the dishes are ready. It seemed busier than the later dinner service.
Mock meats and veggies, salads soups. A few western styles: potato chips/fries. Steamed buns and sweets. Deep fried mushrooms.
The location and buffet style is the main selling point, if you are willing to explore the city and take risks, you can probably find more interesting locations and more local styles of food but it is great to have a convenient mainstream place too. Who am I kidding, if you are a western vegetarian or vegan in Beijing, you will almost certainly end up here at some point! We did - 3x in a week.

Don’t be late - Edit
We came 7.30pm and had to pay less but there was also not so much food and they were not really hot. Although the selection and the huge variety of things was really impressive and we had a super tasty dinner. Due to the buffet style it’s quite crowded and is more like a canteen than a restaurant but all in all absolutely recommended for trying out a lot of different Chinese dishes.
Read morePros: Biiiiiig selection

Tasty vegan buffet - Edit
Vegan buffet with large variety of options including rice, noodles, veggie dishes and fake meat options. Limited drink options though. Arrive early if you want the full food variety and for food to be hot! Although if you arrive later they do reduce the price. We went three times and paid between 30 and 70 per person depending what time we arrived. Easy enough to find-on the same main street as Qianmen station and the owners speak some English.

Decent all you can eat buffet, current price 68 Yuan during lunch time. Lots of choice, including sweet cakes and fresh fruit. The place was busy so I can imagine towards closing time the choice might be limited.

Good food for good value - Edit
We went here 5 times in 6 days when we visited Beijing. Mostly because it was so close to our hostel (which didn’t have a kitchen) and so cheap. The last day we had to pay 68 though due to New Years.... I really recommend you to go here one or two times, but not 5. I can’t eat Chinese food anymore bc we went to many times (and I got food poisoning after the last time, but it could be from something else).
Read moreStaff is quite unfriendly, but the amount of food you get compensated for that.
Deserts and drinks are weird, except for the moochi, but food is great.
DO get there in time, sometimes stuff is running low.
Pros: All vegan, A lot of food for the money
Cons: Staff unfriendly

Cheap buffet with tons of options - Edit
Great authentic chinese food, all made vegetarian and (mostly) vegan. Some of our favorites were the fried dumplings, deep fried oyster mushroom (resembling duck), sweet and sour 'chicken', noodle stir-frys.
Read moreA lot of mock meats and starches, I would like some more vegetable options. They had a small salad buffet which was quite boring. Would like to see more roasted or fried veggies.
Drinks are included in the price of 51 ¥ but you might find them to be strange - soy milk, corn juice, hot lemon water (what we chose) and unidentified sweet liquid.
Pros: Plenty options, Cheap price
Cons: Lack of drink option, Non-English speaking staff, Lack of vegetables

Large touristy restaurant - Edit
This is fully vegan. Staff are less friendly than in other vegan restaurants around town - probably because it’s quite touristy. Very close to Tiananmen Square. I’ve only had the lunch buffet and I arrived a bit late, at 1.30pm. It closes at 2pm. Half the dishes were finished and not being replenished. Recommend you get there early (12.00 or so) when there should be more choice and it should be more fresh. It's along a row of many restaurants brside the main road, Quianmen West St, not back in the hutongs behind it. (slightly west of KFC and McDonalds!)
Read morePros: Large space, Large buffet, Fair price
Cons: Buffet winds down from 1.30pm, Some dishes were a bit over cooked by 1.30pm

Wonderful vegan buffet - Edit
I've been to other Veggie Tiger locations in Beijing, and love them. I was surprised that this one is a buffet. But the buffet is huge and beautiful and so full of a large variety of delicious food and drinks! 51 RMB for all you care to eat. Really good deal. 5 of us ate here and hung out in the nice environment for a couple of hours. Recommended.

Taming the Tiger - Edit
This was a beautiful large restaurant on the main road so easy enough to find. We went for lunch, this was last month so forgive my memory, the menu I think had English descriptions, the choice was huge. We went for some noodles, steamed dumplings & these pastry type things (great descriptions I know) but it was all super tasty. They even sold Mooncakes, I bought a nut filled one to go. If you're near Tainanmen Square it's not too far a walk and definitely worth a visit.

So good! - Edit
We didn't know that this place is a buffet, because the day before we went to a different SUHU restaurant and it was a real restaurant, with a service.
Read moreBut it doesn't matter, you pay only 51¥ and you can eat whatever you want! Everything looks so tasty, so it's really hard to choose. There is plenty of choice, soup, noodles, dumplings, vegetables, pancakes, fruits, salad, chinese cakes etc. We were completely full after that! :D
It wasn't easy to find because the location seems to be different on the app, I don't really understand why…
Pros: Cheap, Delicious, Too many choice!
