Great food, but get there befoee 7pm

Food was good, not to spicy but chillies on the sode if desired. Just make sure you get there before 7pm, they pack up all the food then- looks like they were packaging it to give away.

Best value vegan buffet I have been to

This is the best value vegan buffet I have been to in the world, a buffet with multiple soups, Chinese vegetable dishes and vegan meats. Very tasty for just 15 Yuan! A must go when in Ghuangzhou. Close to Ghuangzhou train station. Via apple maps you can find it by going to Guangxiao Temple and then just on the right of it coming from the metro. Great place!

Pros: Cheap buffet , Tasty

Perfect buffet lunch

A little bouddhist buffet with classic Chinese food, very tasty and affordable (15 yuans). The canteen is near the 6 bayans treas temple (Leu Rung temple).

Cons: Tofu, Soup, Rice

Super friendly and cheap!

The staff were incredibly friendly and spoke English. Everything is vegan. They donate extra food to the homeless. It’s an all you can eat buffet that seems to follow the dietary codes of Shojin Ryori. Highly recommend! Check the photos to see what it looks like. It’s just outside the temple - turn to the left and walk a few meters.

Pros: Friendly, All vegan

Simple but cheap

The food is simple but good and very cheap with only 10 yuan for the buffet. The buffet consist of about 8 different vegetables and rice and 2 soups. No English spoken but that’s not necessary as you can chose from the buffet.
The marker is correct here.

Good and cheap

You can't do anything wrong when it's only 10¥. It was still very delicious with plenty of options and even two soups.

Pros: Vegan, Very cheap

Cons: Only plastic plates available, Not a lot of options in the afternoon

Pequeño y económico buffet vegano

Está al lado de un templo por lo que probablemente te encuentres con monjes comiendo contigo. Cuesta 15 yuan el buffet y tiene cerca de 15 opciones chinas locales pero sin mucho sabor (1 opción de dulce y otras que destacaban pero nada muy especial). Llegamos a eso de las 13:00 y lamentablemente estaba todo frío, por lo que no lo encontramos muy bueno. Luego prendieron los calefactores de la comida y mejoró un poco.
Está bueno para comer barato, rápido y chino.

Pros: Económico, rápido, varias opciones.

Cons: Te puede tocar fría y sin mucho sabor.

Great food, great value.

It's a simple typically chinese Buddist buffet, with very fresh and tasty food all for the great price of 10¥.
I ate there several times when I was in Guangzhou, to the interest of lots of locals

Small crowded hole in the wall

Really small and popular with the locals as its next to the Temple. Which is a good thing!
When I got there a little after 2pm (on a festival day) the food was mostly gone.
I was a little concerned about the hygiene as its an open buffet on the main street next to the temple entrance, but I didnt fall sick. They spoke 0 english so managed with sign language.
I'll go back again.

Pros: Popular/ Friendly, Donation based, Lots of options

Cons: Small, limited seating, Hygiene. Open buffet next to the street

Pleasant place

Pleasant Buffet next to the Buddhist temple, with pleasant incense. It is possible to put in a plate several dishes and to pay only ¥10. It is very affordable for China. The food was very fresh, mostly it was stewed vegetables (zucchini, zucchini, lotus root, Tomato), loved the Bulgarian pepper with tofu and rice with vegetables. Many people approached the additive several times. These buffet's dishes even better than in the good pricy restaurant.

Pros: Very chip, clean, and tasty fresh dishes

Cons: possible to share your table with others, but I th

Fantastic

The best sweet and sour I have ever had. ¥15 per person for the buffet with additional seating upstairs. Highly recommend it to try a nice selection of food, went back twice and the food was different both times.

Warm and welcoming

Nice little buffet style vegetarian restaurant. In a country which doesn't understand vegetarianism this place is a good exception. Food was nice and place looked clean.

Pros: Very cheap and nice food

Cons: Food wasn't hot enough

Nice and simple eatery near temple

I found this great little place while looking for a different vegetarian restaurant which is also near Guangxiao temple.
It is very small and basic. You can get a bowl of soup and fill-up a plate with a small selection of vegan dishes for only 12 yuan. The food tasted good and the owner was friendly.
For the super-cheap price alone, it is definitely worthwhile!

Pros: very cheap, right next to Guangxiao temple, friendly staff

Cons: no English spoken, very basic
