    This vegan Chinese restaurant was a lucky accidental find. I was just passing by when their sign caught my attention on a beautiful historic building. Despite the modest ratings, I decided to give it a try and was very pleasantly surprised.

    We’re having lunch at this resyo during CNY holiday season, so most of the tables were full with families. We’re not used to eat vegetarian, so we thought that the food would be imitating the taste of fish or meat.

    Authentic atmosphere, similar to what you find in many places in China. Reasonable prices. During our visit, it was mostly locals, not a restaurant catering to Western tourists. We tried four different dishes.

    Located in an old school shop lot. Atmosphere is definitely reminiscent of the past. Had a family dinner here recently and the food was pretty good. Can't recall the exact dishes but I hope the photo below helps.
