Too much choice!

If you are tired of studying and translating all the menus in many restaurants, then this place is perfect. Just make your choice, it's all vegan. 💚

You can stuff yourself completely for a fair price. There is too much to try it all though.

Some food tasted a bit bland, could be my own wrong choice. Comparing it to fully vegan a la carte restaurants, I think this is all-you-can-eat quality. Which is ok.

The staff was helpfull, despite the language barrier they do their best.

Pros: So much to choose from, Low price for 2 hours

Cons: Some food was a bit cold/bland

Fantastic vegan buffet.

So much variety. I had two plates of wonderful and interesting food and I have tried a tiny fraction of what is available. There are over 200 dishes.

They also have a range of desserts including a Mr Whippy ice cream dispenser with three flavours of vegan ice cream!

This is the best vegan buffet I have been to and I’m glad I’ll be around for a few more days so that I can try some of the other dishes.

Amazing vegan hotpot experience

My friend said I don’t think vegan hotpot can be found and then next day we visited this place and experienced an amazing vegan hotpot. Loved every bit of it.

Very very good, best vegan buffet in China

I had such a great experience here. The staff was really friendly and welcomed me warmly. Right at 5 pm we were allowed to start with the buffet and I took around three mixed plates with different soups and all the things were really really good!
Actually I came back the next day because it was too good and I wanted to experience this deliciousness a second time!!😄

Best ever

For all Muslim and vegetarian friends, this place is truly a must-try. The buffet offers a huge variety of dishes, with plenty of vegetables, fruits, and other plant-based options. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable. We enjoyed it so much that we went three times. Highly recommended. I posted the same comment on TripAdvisor.

Vegan buffet of our dreams

Family of four including teenagers went here twice during Beijing trip. So many options including many desserts. Got very full each time. Saw good food safety rotating dishes out based on time. Diversity of locals, ex-pats, student groups. Only ~80 RMB when we went.

Pros: Variety, Desserts, Service

Cons: Some fusion/Western dishes weren't our favorites

Delightful

I'm so happy this exists. I'm coming back. I definitely didn't get to try all of the huge variety, but I did get to try their classic Chinese dishes, which are so well done.

Chance upon this buffet vegetarian restaurant. It was jaw dropping with 218 dishes for around USD 12/pax and if above 60 years old, only USD 9.
The varieties are excellent from usual mains, hotpot, fruits, ice cream, soft drinks, coffee.

Pros: The Variety is excellent., Replenish very fast., No time limit and some staff can speak english

Beautiful vegan buffet

Other reviews have covered all the amazing things about this place. My girlfriend and I ate here every day we were in Beijing.

Only thing to keep in mind is that from 2-5 they clean up the food and the cooks take their lunch break so there isn’t much to eat in that time.

Lunch special is slightly cheaper than dinner, but same food. They have literally everything here it’s insane.

Best restaurant in the world?

Incredible. Not only is there huge variety, it's also delicious and high quality which can be rare in buffets. You can try food from all over china, including some impressive veganised versions of stuff I thought I'd never be able to try (e.g. abalone and fish skin). Potentially it's 100% vegan as well, as a lady working there told us.

Even the drinks are included, and deserts - I have no idea how they stay in business at 78yuan per person. They have bubble tea toppings, and hot pot too. There was even a fresh soy milk dispenser which was the best I've ever had.

Can't recommend enough. Very friendly staff too.

Pros: Delicious, Excellent value, Friendly

Great vegan restaurant

The food and the choices at this restaurant were delicious! We ate there several times during our Beijing visit.
Lunch is between 11-15h and dinner is from 17h. They have only tea time and cold meals in between the two.


You pay 89 yuan for dinner for all you can eat.

Paradise

This place is paradise for vegan travelers in China. I paid 78 yuan (about 10€) to eat as much as I could. They have a buffet which is (as far as I could tell) completely or at least almost entirely vegan. They offer a mix of few „western-inspired“ dishes (e.g mini pizzas) but mainly traditional (veganized) Chinese food with a lot of mock meat but also just vegetables, tofu, etc. if you’re not a fan of that. Additionally you can refill your drinks and get desert as much as you like – I also packed a lunch box for my flight back to eat at the airport.

I highly recommend this place, especially since it is more affordable than other vegan restaurants in Beijing! If you’re vegan and in Beijing, eat here!😄

Incredible

It’s an absolute must if you’re in Beijing! It’s ¥79 per person which is pretty good in Beijing especially if you absolutely stuff your face 🤣 the deserts are insane, they have vegan chocolate and vegan strawberry soft serve ice cream which was super nice but the star of the show is the Oreo cake, you have to have the Oreo cake. They have loads of mock meat dishes which I’m not usually in to but it was great to try traditional Chinese food as vegan. They have over 200 dishes to choose from from the buffet it’s insane. You can also have a hot pot all included in the price which is super cool. Definitely go if you’re in Beijing! Have the Oreo cake.

absolutely amazing (and worldwide unique?) place

We still can't believe that absolutely everything here was vegan. Over 200 different dishes. We must have tried about 50 of them over the two days, and it was all delicious—haha! The variety is incredible; JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES. Every morning, 20 chefs spend nearly five hours preparing everything. Everything is beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. The staff are very friendly (a special shout-out to Sofia, who also speaks perfect English). They even rotate a portion of the dishes from one day to the next.
The highest praise I can give a buffet restaurant is this: I ate an unbelievable amount of food, yet I still felt great afterwards! :)

And all of this for less than €10.
They have a counter on the wall where they’ve been keeping a running tally every single day since they opened. That’s over 18 years—and they are incredibly proud of it, and rightly so!

Delicioso y muy variado

Tienen de todo. Proteínas vegetales de muchos tipos: guisos, barbacoa, sopas, bebidas, helado, postres. Todo vegano. Estuvimos tres días en Beijing y vinimos dos veces. Ahora es mi restaurante favorito. Lastima que no esté en España.

Vegan heaven

Up to 217 dishes to choose from, contrary to what is says on happy cow this is a fully vegan restaurant, buffet style and hot pots available. There was an ice cream station, popcorn, salad bar and literally anything you can dream of. Lots of mock meats, my favorite was the vegan burger, sausages and the Mochis. Staff is super welcoming and helpful. Choice can be quite overwhelming, be prepared to be rolling out of the restaurant. Lots of people were there, locals too. This is literally the best thing in the world being vegan.

Bestes veganes Restaurant in China

Man zahlt einen Preis pro Person (circa 8€) und kann dann das Buffet genießen. Besonders toll war der hot Pot! Die Mitarbeiterinnen sind super hilfreich und haben uns alles erklärt (es war unser erstes Mal Hot Pot essen). Ansonsten reicht die Auswahl von allen erdenklichen asiatischen Gerichten über Tacos und Burger bis zu einer Bubble tea station und kostenlosem Kaffee. Ein Muss für jeden vegan Reisenden in Beijing!

Pros: Preis, Service, Auswahl
