Simple Chinese Buddhist restaurant established since the 1980s. Located behind the central police station, perpendicular road to the Hotel Mandarin Pacific. Offers a pictorial menu and a la carte rice and noodle dishes. Signage above the door is small, so look for it. Reported January 2017 mainly vegan, but serves dairy in some dishes. Reported closed November 2022.

Noodles smell like cigar - Edit
Worst service in our lives. The noodles smelled and tasted as if they where cooked in a closed room full of cigar smoke. The other noodles had a foul taste. The conditions in the kitchen/restroom are horrible. If the restaurant we’re to be inspected it would be shut down for insolubrity.

A Chinese restaurant better than those in China. - Edit
An old school kind of restaurant with tons of stuff from the past, like a radio or a TV.
Read moreThe Chinese old man asking us what we're gonna order was super cute.
The food itself is a lil bit pricey compared to the Indian places around the corner but it's still worth coming if you're a fan of Chinese dishes.
Pros: design, style, they cook really fast, old folks running the place are super cute
Cons: not so cheap

Cheap food, pleasant staff - Edit
Super awesome family veg restaurant. It seemed to me that it was probably all vegan, but you never know if there might be some dairy in any mock meats. Anyhow, I was served by the same friendly folks each evening (I ate there 4 times as it was close to my hotel). Most dishes were really good, and one was mediocre. And the portions are big, so you might want to stick with one entree per person.
Read morePros: Inexpensive, Friendly staff who understood English, Mostly if not all vegan

Excellent value - Edit
Stopped off here for lunch and there was loads to choose from. I decided on a tofu dish, rice, a bottle of water and also some Singapore noodles to take away for later. It only came to RM21 for everything and good portions too. Great value for money, would visit again.
Read moreTook a photo of the tofu dish but forgot to take a photo of the noodles later.
Pros: Excellent value for money, Lots of options, Friendly, helpful staff

Tasty, cheap and extremely friendly staff - Edit
We stumbled across this place whilst semi lost looking for food in china town! We were overwhelmed and slightly confused by the menu so we asked the old man in the shop to choose for us. He picked us some faux chicken veg dish which was absolutely delicious and a noodle dish. We explained to him that we were huge eaters and he assured us to get some steam rice and just wait till after we’ve eaten to see if we needed more. We were absolutely stuffed and it only came to 30RM bargain!

Good, quick & reasonably cheap. Comparable to Water Lily restaurant. We had the Indian noodles and the stir fried mushrooms & cashews. Both were tasty and quite big.

Nice place! - Edit
We got a bit confused as we didn‘t believe it was all vegetarian, so I only ordered the fried cauliflower which was nice!! no doubt. but I guess I would‘ve ordered something different if I knew all of it was meat free haha. There were so many options on the menu like fish, different types of (mock) meat, which made me assume it was called vegetarian by mistake. My fault haha. great & cheap place though!!

simple and charming - Edit
One of my favourites of KL. Delicious food. Mostly mock-meat style but not the kind you get everywhere, it tasted lighter than most mock meat, I am guessing it is made using beancurd sheets (we had two mock-duck dishes). Highly recommend just for this point of difference!
Read moreIf you aren't a mock-meat fan you also have lots of vegetable dishes in the photo book. Enjoyed an iced Chinese tea with my meal - perfect simple delicious dinner. The restaurant has a lot of charm and character in its decorations. Definitely a favourite, would return every day if possible.
Pros: extensive menu, unique mock-meat texture , comfortable setting
Cons: no cons at all

sehr gut! - Edit
Es hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Die Gerichte haben fleich und Fisch Namen jedoch ist es ein vegetarisches Restaurant. Wir hatten mixed vegetable Reis und bean sauce Nudeln. Wir kommen bestimmt nochmal hier her.

Extensive menu - Edit
This restaurant had a thick photo menu that was a bit overwhelming. It takes a while to go through it all. The dishes we picked were very good - a green vegetable, a veggie fish, tofu and mushrooms. The portions were on the small size. Overall, a very pleasant place to dine.

excellent tofu dish - Edit
The dish called bean curd in sauce was absolutely delicious - just ask for the most popular dish and they will point at it. Greens tasted a little odd - possibly fish sauce which is a shame as the server said no animals
Read morePros: bean curd dish was amazing
Cons: May use fish sauce on the greens

The menu is huge! There is a menu with photos mainly for tourists which is very helpful. The food is very simple: noodles-vegetables served with a sauce. Not super tasty but still good. Almost everything is around 8 ringgits.

Tasty dumpling soup, confused about fish on the menu. - Edit
I shared a lovely chestnut and mushroom filled dumpling soup with a friend for RM7.50. The broth was simple but good, I loved the flavor combination of the dumplings.
Read moreOn the picture menu I clearly saw some fried fish, which had me confused. The owner did however assure me that the fish sauce was really vegetarian, as did he understand what vegan meant.
The atmosphere was very local and seemed authentic. Great location close to China town, the Sri Mahamariamman temple and the Central Market for a little sightseeing afterwards.

Pros: Chestnut mushroom dumplings, Great location for sightseeing , Local atmosphere
Cons: Looks like there is fish on the menu

Good, not exceptional - Edit
I got a blackened "fish style" tofu dish that was pretty interesting - subtler and more complex flavors than tofu is typically prepared with.
Read moreOther than that, however, nothing really stood out about this place. Normal veggie stir-fry, normal sauteed greens. Mild, verging-on-bland seasoning. Maybe I just happened to order uninteresting dishes...?
Still cheap by western standards ($6 total for two small entrees), but hard to compete with the buffets, where a big plate will only cost you $1.75.
Definitely worth a visit if it's convenient, but I can't say I'd go out of my way to dine here.
Pros: Fully vegan (I think), OK food
Cons: Pricier than a buffet

economic Chinese food - Edit
Had the ginger duck noodles 10 ringgit. Yummy. The photo album is the menu lol. I didn't realize until after I had ordered from the shorter written menu. I would definitely go back.

Einfach Genial! - Edit
Sehr gutes essen, zuerst ein bisschen verwirrend weil auf der Karte Dinge wie Chicken oder fishhead stehen. Aber nach einer kurzen erklärung des besitzers weiss man das alles Fleischersatz ist. Man kan z.B einen ganzen Fisch bestellen, gemacht aus der Yamwurzel.

Pros: Günstig, Vegetarisch, Buddistisch
