Good sweet and sour mushrooms

Lovely ambience on 3rd floor next to temple. Not much that seemed appealing to me but they nailed the sweet and sour mushrooms

There is a great choice of food to choose. Just behind JingAn temple. It is located on the 3rd. Environmental cosy.

Good food

The food is good, though I needed to add some salt to the noodle soup and wonton soup. I loved the fried tofu wedges. Nice atmosphere, cozy, and clean.

Comfortable setting and many various tasty foods

4 of us had a private room in the upstairs and that was clean and comfy. Lots of various flavours and textures to try and a tone of vegan options.

Pros: Lots of variety in options

Good food

It was good food, no english is spoken so it was hard to communicate and Order vegan. Menu only available through we chat so the Walter gave us his Phone as we only had Alipay. Paying with Alipay was available.
Location on map is right.

On my top 3 in SHG!

Has vegan dishes in a vegetarian resto - just put in the remarks before paying through wechat that “我們吃全素,不吃蛋奶。謝謝”

SOME OF THE BEST VEGAN FRIENDLY FOOD IN SHG. Hands down!

Wonderful experience

My best experience in China. Everything is vegetarian and they clearly mention in the menu if there is egg or milk. Everything was so good and typical. I definitely recommend the mushroom buns! We took 6 plates for less than 200¥
They give you a tablet with the menu translated. Very nice atmosphere too although a bit noisy.

Elegant new restaurant overlooking Jing’an Temple courtyard

A group of 12 of us reserved a private room in this beautiful space that is both peaceful and convivial. The food was prepared with light sauces yet full flavors, stylish presentation, and attentiveness to healthfulness. The oolong tea was wonderful and beautifully presented. Prices were moderate for such a prime location and elegant setting.

Pros: All vegan and delicious , Classic Chinese food , Beautiful decor
