Very good staff - Edit
The food was good and so quick. Big portions! The restaurant is on the first floor, we had to ask because it’s kind of hidden.

Very tasty - Edit
It is not too hard to find. Just trust that it is 2F in building D. Added a picture from the outside so you can find it.
Read moreFood was super delicious and I guess quite authentic. I had a no-fish soup with Sezuan pepper and chili and loved it. But as many Chinese restaurants it is forseen to be in a group so the portion sizes were huge for me alone.
Never had Michelin star food, but I think this is a very good chance!
For vegan or vegetarian it was hard to communicate and I more or less guessed what didn’t look like egg or milk. Still I highly recommend trying, the staff is super friendly.
Pros: Very flavorful , Michelin star quality , Very friendly
Cons: Vegan not marked separately

Good food - Edit
Nice place, nice people and nicely spiced - which is good for a temple restaurant.
Read moreIt’s quite hard to find though. Go inside and take the escalators upstairs and follow the signs to building D. Just roam till you find it. It took me some time, but it’s worth it!

Very delicious! - Edit
Edit: I went there again March 2024 and it’s still pretty much the same as in 2019. I would definitely continue to recommend it.
Read moreMy hostel host recommended this place to me and I’m happy to find that it already is on happy cow. I was here today, late in the evening, and the food was delicious. They also offered to pack up leftovers (but there was only some rice left, so I didn’t need that.) The food was good and filling and it had a nice atmosphere where people go to relax and chat while eating.
It’s on the first (second) floor, when you turn left after coming up the stairs or the elevator.

High quality restaurant - Edit
This restaurant is really nice. The atmosphere and interior is good and also the food is. We think we choose the wrong dishes because all other looked much better. Our two dishes taste good but not extraordinary, but we can imagine, that there are a lot of really nice dishes. You have to order rice separate! We paid 108 Y and were full. It’s more a higher class restaurant like the vegetarian tiger. They have English menu, but the stuff didn’t speak English, but the menu is in English.
Read moreIt easy to find if you search in the second (in Germany first) floor. Trust the map and you will find it. Sat the front is also written vegetarian restaurant in English.

Delicious Asian Vegetarian Cuisine! - Edit
Most of the menu items were vegan! I didn’t see anything on the menu that contains dairy or egg products, so I wonder if this is a vegan restaurant ... The food was delectable. The recipes stayed true to traditional Asian cuisine without satisfying flavor.

Not central but worth a short trip - Edit
You might be thinking: do I go to Vege Tiger near Tianeman square? If that is too busy for you, then this is a good option. Huge variety of mock meat dishes, very realistic (according to a friend). A la carte menu not buffet style. Lots of other veggie based dishes, I would say 80-90% of options are vegan, though I did not ask. Menu with English. No alcohol. Based in a modern building but traditional interior. Very reasonable prices allow you to explore a few options. Quite upmarket by Western standards but prices are very fair. You would pay 2x or more in UK for this. Brown rice as well as white. Various healthy drinks like wheatgrass.
Read moreFinally: I don't think the staff speak much English but unlike other reviewers I am not going to penalize them for that! We had no problems with service and that's what is important!

really good! - Edit
it's worth mentioning the restaurant is located on the 2nd floor, right above Grond International Plastic Surgery Center
Read morethe restaurant is very nice, the food is amazing, and has all kinds of prices. there are several dishes under 25rmb which is pretty cheap for Beijing.
The sausage (26rmb) was by far my favourite, and the goose came in a close 2nd place!
Pros: Lots of dishes!

Vegan and Vegetarian prepared in the Bhuddist way - Edit
My favorite place in Beijing for Vegan and Vegetarian food because it’s an actual dining restaurant. The menu is extensive and it offers creative authentic Chinese dishes. It tastes awesome. It’s not your boring way of vegan/veggie places where it’s salad bar and it offers some protein shake with zucchini pasta. This spot is truly a Vegan Treasure with a great interpretation of Chinese cuisine. The staff are very spiritual and friendly. Did I mention it’s Super well priced!!!!

Good vegetarian food - Edit
Similar to other Chinese vegetarian restaurants we tried, this one was also very good. They have an English menu but staff is a bit limited. The prices are also similar, it should have $$ instead of one. Portions were a bit small. Atmosphere was OK but a bit noisy when full.

Out of this world! A favorite - Edit
This restaurant if my favorite in the world as I really like vegan asian food, especially chinese, but the real one, which is very very diverse with many types of vegan meats, many vegetable and mushroom dishes, soups, etc etc. They offer a great range of food, their especialty is vegan Buddhist chinese food, with no onion and garlic, they also have some thai food and other asian dishes. The flavors are amazingly rich and diverse, so whenever you go you must try as many dishes as you can, they are all very delicious, trust me. The place is great, impecably clean, the staff is friendly and very nice.

A bit hard to find, but excellent - Edit
Finding the Chaowai branch of Tianchu Miaoxiang 天厨妙香 was actually a bit tricky. I suggest you take the metro (line 6) and get off at Dongdaqiao 东大桥 station, exit D1 (exit D2 is under construction, once it is completed it will be even closer to the destination). Hujialou 呼家楼 and Jintaixizhao 金台夕照 (line 10) are also an option, but they are significantly farther. Once you exit the station, finding the Chaowai Soho building is quite easy, but finding the actual venue takes a little longer.
Read moreWe had spinach and mu-erh mushrooms (菠菜蘑菇), eggplants on an iron plate (铁板茄子), spicy fake meat and mushrooms in a pot (吊锅杏鲍菇) and deep fried battered mushrooms (善果因缘), with organic rice (有机白米饭) and bamboo leaf tea (青青子衿 or 竹叶茶). Everything was very good, especially the fake meat with mushrooms.
I must say I am not fond of Shanghai-style cuisine (less spicy and more sweetish and delicate than Northern or SIchuanese cuisine), and I still prefer the food in Suhu (in Wudaokou), but the ambiance was cozy, the staff efficient, the food excellent, and (last but not least) the portions generous. Now to the Wudaokou branch!
For those who can read Chinese, the restaurant website (you'll find the link in the presentation of the venue) is actually very helpful. It showcases the menu and activities organized or hosted by the restaurant (cooking classes, conferences etc. most of them Buddhism-related) and offers a lot of information about the philosophy of the restaurant, which is not that common for Chinese restaurants in general.
