I gave him a bundle of excellent review stickers, and he was overjoyed. This restaurant has now become a regular spot for me. During a recent visit with my brother, we tried the knödel and the stuffed lotus root, reminiscent of the thick potato slices we used to enjoy back home. The mixed veg curry with roasted potatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, and carrots was also a hit. On another visit with three fellow vegans, we ordered a feast that even had the owners worried we wouldn't finish – but we did, except for three steamed rolls which we took to go. The wine glue with vegetables was delicious, with a hint of spice. The walnut beans tasted like a pecan pie, while the Buddha cakes were delightful green pastries with sesame seeds and a taro or purple sweet potato filling. Our meal for four came to 369rmb, which we considered a great deal. I recommend ordering their own takeout containers and ordering more than you can eat – the staff will happily pack up the leftovers for you to enjoy later. The staff are all lovely and welcoming. Please support this fantastic restaurant that serves delicious food and is working hard during these challenging times. Review updated on 13th April 2020.
This was some of the most delicious food I have ever eaten. 6 months later and my kids are still talking about how good it was. We had a huge variety of dishes in the two times we went here. The pesto noodles were a welcome change from heavier Asian options and my daughter truly enjoyed her vegan pork chop. We are a little of everything but the walnut buns were decidedly the best food we ever tasted. My life goal is to find a recipe to make these at home. Don’t miss out on this place. It’s truly wonderful.
I 'll start very briefly with the negatives! I wasn 't a fan of the decor (or lack of), nor did I enjoy ordering from an iPad (since when did speaking to a human become so challenging), the menu was good but slightly mish mash...noodles next to pesto pasta for example. The expats outnumbered locals by far, you can read what you want into that. As for the food: yum! The fried lotus root was so good, sweet and sour 'pork ' was delightful and the 'ribs ' were incredible. You 'd pay an arm and a leg for vegan food that good in the UK so I 'm not complaining! However, I do have one comment. The food seemed to be designed for a Western pallet...by that I mean it reminded me of a Chinese takeaway you would get on a Saturday night while watching TV. Very sweet and not too spicy. Of course it 's 10x better than that and cruelty free which is fab!!! But if you want something more authentic Chinese then go to Godly (not far from People 's Square). If you have time then go to both and decide for yourself! If you can only go to one then my preference would be Godly.
We straight feasted at this place...to the point where locals kinda looked at us like we were crazy. Wonton soup was on point, fried rice and fried noodles to dies for, and mock meats/delicious tofu. Oh and the walnut bun things were crazy tasty for desert. Prices were way to cheap for the quality of food and I enjoyed every minute within this restraunt. Hella recommended, would come back again for breakfast and dinner if we were staying longer.
This may have been the best vegan meal I have ever had. Every dish was delicious and served in generous portions. The prices were also very reasonable.
