Ju Shan Yuan Qing Xin - Chengdu

The food here is excellent! I come here about once a week. The staff may not speak good English, but they are very friendly. You don't have to finish everything on your plate to get a ticket, just most of it. The drinks currently are hot plant milk, so I bring my own. They had juice in the summer. I highly recommend this place. It's affordable and the food is delicious!

Amazing gem in Chengdu. Lots of safe vegan options

This vegan buffet is located on a side street near a traditional temple, surrounded by arches and traditional architecture. The community sometimes sets up stages and performs on summer nights in the open square nearby. When you enter, you pay at the register (19¥ for your first visit, but 16¥ with a clean plate ticket given at the end of the meal) for a token. You then exchange the token for plates, bowls, and chopsticks. You keep the same plate throughout your visit, unlike in Western buffets. There is communal seating, so don't be surprised if you end up sitting next to someone new. The buffet offers typical Buddhist fare without onions, garlic, dairy, or eggs, making it suitable for vegans. They use oil, salt, and sugar, so those avoiding SOS should be cautious. The buffet includes tofu, bean, and vegetable dishes, as well as sliced fruit for dessert. Some favorite dishes include white beans, sautéed broccoli, purple cabbage salad, and dunked tofu. The atmosphere is welcoming, with friendly monks occasionally dining there. Westerners may attract stares, but the focus is on enjoying the food. Remember to finish everything on your plate to receive a discount for your next visit. Overall, the food is decent and offers a chance to indulge in a vegan-friendly environment.

The food at this restaurant is excellent! I will definitely be going back next week. The staff may not speak English fluently, but they are very nice. You don't have to finish everything on your plate to receive your bill. The drinks are served with hot plant milk, but I prefer to bring my own. They also had juice available during the summer. I highly recommend this place - the flavors are amazing!

This vegan buffet is embedded on a side street near a traditional tempel. arches and traditional architecture flank on every side and space where the community stage and some summer nights on the open square. in the inner they approach the theke with their money and pay in register (19 for their first visit, but 16 ¥ with a clean plate ticket that is given to them at the end of the meal when they have eaten everything and brought their dishes into the drop-off station) for a small token. then you will move to the person who will give you the dish, bowl and cripple. you exchange your token for this combination. that's your teller for the night. in contrast to most western buffets you do not begin to visit the buffet with a new dish. you bring the one who was used back once, every time you fill your teller. there are rows and tabs. there is an upper floor and a next room for overflow seats. they are not surprised when someone sits down next to them if there are no others. that's a community seat. no fear to sit with new people! the buffet itself is a typical Buddhist farewell. no wobble or garlic are used in the kitchen. also absent: milk and egg! this makes it a nice place to visit for vegans. they use oil, salt and sugar, so every SOS-free should remain clear. also present? cook at high temperatures. there is a series of salates between the dressed and baozi, jiaozi and suppenstation, but the tariff is limited so that it is unsuitable for RAW foodists. there are many delicious tofu,- bean and sweet dishes and have often been cut near desserts. desserts are in the fried rice balls or roasted teig with the brown sugar sauce that the chineses use to sweet almost everything. it is actually a date sugar syrup with a very strong taste. I'm personally in the fruit while I'm here for something sweet. my favorite dishes are the white beans, sautéed broccoli, purple cauliflower and the dunked tofu. my diet is limited in protein on the campus where I teach and when I come here I camp my plate with beans and tofu! I am not a fan of the fried tie full jiaozi and baozi. I skip those at dinner here, but for those who like carb last, they like to enjoy them. some of the vegetarians I went with absolute adoration could take them or leave them. Overall, eating is decent, but the key here is that they can eat the way and wise as someone else does in china: with leaving. Those of us who normally have to be so careful when praying in new foods, there is no hidden meat or ice can leave their watch down and pamper! there are buffets like these everywhere, the mostly Buddhist clientele buried. a few times I came here, the monks have come through to eat. it is a very nice cultural experience that they get through in their raw. they are generally very friendly and will smile and wave when they smile, even if they have no chinese. typical of everywhere in china, but above all to sites with few outgoing (that is quite far from any of the schools in wenjiang that home / hospitable outland) when they are a western, they are stared. first it can be disturbing, but just roll with it and they will be able to focus on eating! make sure to eat everything they take! then they bring their plate back to the crash and they give them a ticket that falls the price to 16 ¥ for their next visit! Note: if they bring here a friend from the city that is not a veg*n they eat and call out, I think that could be the cleanest restaurant in which I was in China.
