Great, good quality food

Easily the best vegetarian restaurant we found in China. The mock chicken curry here was particularly delicious but everything we tried was wonderful. Service was good, prices were reasonable and both the buffet and the individual dishes were of a high quality.

Pros: Wonderful food, English menu, Good service

Solid veggie fare.

I went here for the buffet. Nice restaurant, with a huge buffet selection. Lots of dishes. I wasn't blown away by the food, but it was certainly above average. I got there a bit late, so it wasn't the fairest review, as much of the food was lukewarm, and some dishes were finished. Get there early to avoid this fate! I'm giving them four cows on potential, as I don't think I got the best possible impression of the food from my own delinquency. Really closer to three and a half however, as the food was good rather than great. Definitely worth visiting, but not worth crossing town for (for that - go to Still Thoughts instead!).

Couldn't keep us away!

Once my husband and I found this place, we were in there nearly everyday! Really nice food. We had a la carte once but rest of time had buffet. Not sure if desserts are vegan but they have fresh fruit on offer. Easy to over-eat so dont go if on a diet! Really friendly staff. Nice clean non-smoking atmosphere. A bonus in Beijing!

Pros: Excellent choice of food, Friendly and clean, good value

good buffet

easy to find, and worth the visit. if visitng either of the nearby temples pay here a visit.
i had the evening buffet, cny58, big selection, mainly veg dishes, but also tofu and mock meat. large selection, the majority seemed vegan, also had a large selection of deserts including fresh fruits.
as with most buffets, some dishes were a luke warm. nice atmosphere with booths available. no smoking allowed.

Pros: good location, good food, good selection
