Yi Ran Tang Vegetarian Buffet

Yummy (and cheap!) temple food, it seems they're only doing it for the common good, and not for profit.

It's worth sticking around because new dishes may come out of the kitchen.

Eat with monks in a very peaceful atmosphere :)

The buffet here is cheap- 5 yuan donation, but the food is nothing to write home about.
A changing selection of simple meals served everyday for lunch and dinner. Try to arrive early as their meal times finish quite early.

Went with friends who knew this place. Buffet has excellent selection and I have been told that dishes vary from day to day. Open for lunch and dinner. You can take all you want, but you must eat everything you take. This includes every last grain of rice. I thought my bowl was empty when I returned it, but the few grains of rice at the bottom of the bowl was enough to trigger admonition. The tofu with wood ear was particularly good, Chinese cabbage, attractive rice with small bits of yellow (corn, I think), buns, squash, potato. You can help yourself to tea. Quite amazing for five kuai. Eat outside or eat inside in Buddhist reading room. Easy to find due to amplified Buddhist chanting. Look for sign on Bo Ai Lu
