Got an order of steam dumplings and noodle soup the dumplings very filled with brown rice it was kind of alright the noodle soup seemed ok too I believe this a vegetarian only restaurant.

Went in this morning for breakfast - 8:30am on a Thursday. At first I encountered the street-side takeaway counter and got one veggie steam bun and 1 piece of veggie siu mai. Both were inexpensive, delicious and fresh. If you don't speak Chinese and would like to order, go to the cashier and point to which items you would like and say the quantity number of each item. After walking around the area for a bit, I went back to the main floor dining room and had the Assorted Vegetarian Noodles (CNY 12). A what a big bowl of soup! The noodles were fresh and chewy, the broth was flavorful and balanced and the veggies (potato, cabbage, black mushroom) and tofu were nice with a touch of sweetness. Nothing I had was very oily (I also didn’t order anything deep fried). Due to not speaking Mandarin, I was unable to confirm what is and isn’t vegan. Definitely check out this place. Food is great, inexpensive and the surrounding area is nice to explore on foot. Also, I couldn’t find any other vegetarian restaurants nearby open before 10am.

A medicinal and vegetarian Chinese restaurant with a 100-year history. It is located in the Yuyuan area and has a good atmosphere. You can also buy manju at the counter along the road and eat it while walking. The manju has a strong shiitake mushroom flavor and is delicious.

Good vegan and vegetarian options
