Amazing food

The food here is fantastic! I highly recommend the “fish” soup - absolutely delicious! Portions are quite big. Someone else wrote in a review about it being hard to find - true! It’s on the parallel street closer to Tiananmen Square, where the cars are parked. Not much English spoken but there’s English on the menu and pictures.

Pros: Huge menu, Delicious food, Not too expensive

Cons: Very little English spoken, Hard to find

So delicious

We ate an amazing "fish" stew with some of the best mock meats ever. Menu had English.

The absolute best

I still miss this place. While in Beijing, I went at least five times. There is not a single thing on the menu that wasn't delicious. So nice to be able to enjoy authentic Chinese food made vegan! I especially loved the noodle soup, the mushroom pancakes and their dumplings (try the juicy ones). Wish they spoke a little bit of English though!

Pros: superb food, clean and spacious restaurant

Cons: absolutely zero English spoken

Possibly best option in Beijing

Beijing is not great for vegans, but this was the best place I visited while in town. Thanks to a previous reviewer I knew to look for the McDonalds arches of evil which I saw right as I came out of the Qianmen station.

This is a big restaurant with lots of options. Everything I tried was great and the price was exactly what one would expect in Beijing.

Pros: Tasty food, Location near major tourist attractions

Amazing Chinese Vegan food

Restaurant is clean and wonderfully decorated. The food itself is wonderful. There are so many dishes to choose from, with great variety. If you want to find a typical Chinese dish, but vegan, come here.

Pros: All vegan! , Great tasting! , So many choices and variety

Nice location, amazing food

I highly recommend you to go. Their rules: no alcohol, no smoking, no animal suffering. I really love it! It's the closest vegan restaurant to the Forbidden City. It's very clean and big. Price is fine, they have a lot of food so you can choose between pricey dishes or reasonably priced ones. I personally paid 110 CNY for 4 dishes and one drink and I couldn't finish all. The soups are very cheap and usually quite big, I recommend it. For drinks, the small juice is about 350 mL big and the big one is 1 L. The staff, in general, is quite friendly. One of the waiters was rude to me, but only one person from a quite big team so not the end of the world. Some staff speaks a little of English and some of them none, so ask for some who speaks English first. It's very handy. You can see the Forbidden City from the entrance of the restaurant. If you cannot, then that is not the right road. The restaurant is in front of a parking and close to many other restaurants including McDonald's (sadly).

Pros: Variety, Cleanliness, Most staff very friendly

Cons: Hard to find

So good we went back!

We found this through the HappyCow app on our trip to Beijing. Fully vegan. We were staying in a Hutong not far so decided to try it out. The food was so good and the experience really good that we actually came back for dinner the next night! The guy at the front desk is very good at English and very friendly. He was teaching us some mandarin on the second night. The waiting staff are also very nice and helpful. There is a language barrier as none of them seem to speak English at all but with some charades and a little guess work, it’s pretty easy. If you’ve been to anywhere other than Beijing in China, this is not a new experience! Very good though. Can’t recommend enough.

Pros: All vegan, Lots of selection , Nice staff

Cons: A language barrier with waiting staff!

Like the others, just near Tiananmen Square

SUHU (素虎) is a vegan, alcohol-free restaurant chain that literally means "vegetarian tiger". I happened to find this one near Tiananmen Square. It's off of the QianMen station, like mentioned in the description.

Food here is the same menu as in other of the SUHU restaurants. Giant menu with a bunch of options. Here I had the 水饺 (boiled dumplings), the fake fish protein (really just wheat gluten), and the Vietnamese spring rolls. Delicious.

The main issue I had here was that there was no English-speaking staff attending tables. Only at the front, so when they had to tell me that the kind of dumpling I ordered was out of stock, that got a little hairy.

I think this place is pretty affordable at ¥110-ish for all of that above. Service was attentive, even if we had some language barriers. The place was also very clean and modern looking. Great place to go that's in the middle of the city.

Pros: Great location, Giant menu

Cons: Have to get by with Mandarin only
