Very cheap, ok taste, nothing too special

The food taste and quality is about 3/5, however I'm giving 4 stars because the buffet is so cheap (10 rmb per person) that you can't reasonably expect much better quality.
It's definitely an ok place as a stomach filler, everything was vegan when I went (didn't see any eggs or dairy dishes), the owner is very nice. The place is small and cozy. Just don't expect great taste

Location and value is great! 10rmb buffet

A small clean place to it at, there isn't much variety but enough for lunch and you can go wrong for 10rmb

Buffet lunch

This was the cheapest buffet we ate at. I think it was 10rmb or so. Not many items, but so delicious, perfect for lunch. Great location, the street it's on is real sweet with lots of coffee shops.

Pros: Friendly staff, Location, Price

Buffet vegan ce jour

Buffet avec une dizaine de choix différents. Pas de dessert.
Pas trop épicé pour la plupart.
Tofu, riz, légumes, lait de soja maison. On a bien mangé
Et seulement 13 yuan par personne !!

Cheap, tasty, unpretentious

Buffet of home-style Chinese vegan food in tiny, homely, side-street cafe. A bargain at 13rmb and a very different vibe to the fancy tourist joints on the main drag.

Cheapest restaurant ever

Nestled in the heart of the ancient city of Dali, this quaint establishment is a hidden gem that may be modest in size, but it offers a remarkably satisfying dining experience. The compact buffet is a delightful array of dishes, each bursting with flavor and crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The vibrant colors and enticing aromas are just the beginning; every bite reveals the care and passion that goes into the preparation.

What sets this place apart is the personal touch of the owner, a devoted Buddhist who not only oversees the culinary operations but also handcrafts her own soy milk, adding an authentic flavor that reflects her dedication to quality and tradition. The soy milk is creamy and rich, a perfect complement to the thoughtfully curated dishes on offer.

And the best part? This incredible dining experience comes at an unbeatable price of just 13 RMB per person! For those exploring the charming streets of Dali, old city, this enchanting little spot is a must-visit. It promises not only a meal but also a heartfelt connection to the local culture and culinary heritage. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy this delightful culinary adventure in a city steeped in history!

Pros: Delicious food , Cheap, Local products

All-you-can-eat rice with several vegetables and tofu

Several vegetables and tofu, all extremely good. Everything was vegan when we went. You can hear the owner cooking while you eat. She will replace empty plates by different ones regularly. Best buffet we had during our three days in Dali. Relaxing ambiance. 13rmb per person. 11am-20pm.

Pros: Tofu and lots of vegetables, Very tasty, Cheap

Good food

13 yuan buffet, with a choice of more or less 10 dishes plus rice.
Taste was ok.
Someone who doesn’t eat very spicy food found all the dishes spicy.

Very very small

13 yuan per person for the buffet, but it’s not really a buffet, it’s a self-serve bowl with rice or rice porridge plus your choice of vegetables with all you can eat refills). Drink included (soy milk, sugar available). Flavors were pretty good, but nothing exceptional. Food was not oily. Nothing contained egg or dairy.

Pros: Price , Vegan , Not oily but still flavorful

Cons: Selection , Seating area
