Comida maravilhosa no quilo

O preço é ótimo, e a localização também. A decoração é linda, e os donos são extremamente simpáticos.
O único problema é a falta de sinalização de quais pratos são veganos, vegetarianos, sem glúten e com ovo/leite. Desta forma, vale a pena almoçar quando sabemos de cor quais os ingredientes de cada prato.

Pros: Comida excelente, Preços bons, Ambiente aconchegante

Cons: Falta de sinalização de alergênicos e pratos vegan, Não é o local mais acessível para PCD

Comida incrível, preço péssimo.

Comida sensacional, mas o preço do quilo é muito salgado (atualmente acho que está 67,90).

Pros: A comida é uma das melhores que já comi, Variedade de opções , Bom atendimento

Cons: O preço do quilo é caro (não é absurdo, mas é caro, Local muito pequeno e apertado, Nada a acrescentar

Simples e gostoso

O restaurante é bem simples. Mas achei a comida bem gostosa e apesar de não ser 100% vegano, 95% da comida era vegetal. Não é o restaurante mais barato do mundo ainda mais se você come muito como eu, mas achei gostoso e autêntico.

This restaurant is very simple. However, the food is yummy and despite not being 100% vegan, 95% of the food offered is fully vegan. Not the cheapest restaurant but the food is good and authentic.

Pros: Muitas opções veganas, Atendimento rápido

Cons: Preço levemente elevado

Authentic Chinese cuisine

Don't let the modest entrance fool you, the restaurant definitely exceeds expectations both in taste and variety. Not only do the owners serve authentic dishes from their homeland, they also adapt almost every recipe to make it vegan. A few dishes contain eggs, but nothing contains dairy or other animal products, as far as I know.

Sempre vale a pena

Eu sou completamente apaixonada pelo restaurante desde que conheci, aaaaanos atrás! Tudo sempre feito com muito carinho, tudo muito saboroso, e a família que dirige o local sempre está com um sorriso no rosto, melhora até os piores dias. O suco que eles dão gratuitamente é muuuuito bom, e mais perto do horário de fechar às vezes ganho uma guioza ou uma banana caramelada a mais sem cobrar (self-service no peso).
Há opções ovolactovegetarianas, mas os pratos completamente a base de vegetais são sempre indicados. #Veganuary

Pros: Muitas opções veganas, Suco gratuito e comida sempre fresca, Pequeno negócio familiar

Cons: Por ser no quilo, pode ser um pouco caro, Nem tudo é 100% vegetal, Não funciona a noite

Heaven on Earth!

I visited Yan Shan Zay on my vegan pilgrimage through Belo Horizonte (read more about that here: http://www.budgetbucketlist.com/belo-horizonte.html)

I wrote:

"Vegan 'o clock! Time for Yan Shan Zay, a veggie paradise where the food is so good you have to think in kilo’s instead of grams. Hardly ever did I see a buffet that rich, that wide-ranging and that mouthwatering delicious. Even if you take one spoon of everything you will stretch up your stomach to sizes you didn’t even know it was capable of. I literally ate until I was absolutely miserable, but I had to finish as it was that damn good.
* Look at me being a greedy bastard! Sushi, dumplings, tempura, tofu, sun-dried tomatoes, soy ‘chicken’, garden cress and whole grain rice tipped with 9 different kind of superfood-seeds and hotter-than-hot-sauce. Just bury me in this and I’ll eat my way out again."

I guess that sums it up. This was absolute heaven on earth and any vegan or vegetarian should go her as often as possible to become fat & happy.

Great food in a rustic location

I tried Yan Shan Zay on a recent trip to BH. The food was very tasty. Everything was vegetarian, and most was vegan. No signs to indicate the vegan dishes, but the host was helpful in pointing out the vegan dishes. The setting is very casual, with exposed brick walls and a nice ambiance. The buffet lunch was per kilo, and not very expensive.

Pros: Tasty food, Mostly vegan, Casual atmosphere

Cons: Vegan dishes not indicated, Only open for lunch

great find in a carne-loaded society

I went there after having some trouble finding it. I don't know BH well and Apple Maps and Google Maps sent me somewhere else. Be sure to go to Savassi.

It's on a pretty busy street so parking would be tough. We took a taxi so it was pretty easy. We entered after having visited San Ro the day before expecting more or less the same. We were happy to see it was nearly empty, pretty close to closing time (lunch time ends at 15:00.) Most of the self-service offerings were fairly full and the cold was cold yet the hot was warm or hot. There was quite a nice selection. The owner greeted us pretty quickly. We had our choice of seating. The food was great. This is not necessarily what I would call a health food place but it was tasty. The hardcore animal eaters with me delighted in the offerings. I tried a bit of everything from sushi to mock meats to salads and it was all good, some of it excellent. The sauces were rich and flavorfull, the textures were inline or above expectations (not rubbery or overly tough to chew.) The owner and another server quickly answered questions and we had a free juice (abacaxi/pineapple with couve) to wash it all down with (I enjoyed this, my fiancé and her mother ordered juice and water respectively.) It's open for lunch only I believe with limited hours. There isn't a lot of seating so go early or late. The prices were reasonable, the service very friendly, the food fast and fresh with lots of options. This is a GO.

Pros: great service, fast, great food

Cons: small, could be crowded, self-service only

Delicious Oasis

This is a great place, tucked into an alleyway just a few meters from Savassi Square. It's smaller than San Ro but has some similar selections; friendly Taiwanese owners, home-cooked selections. Be specific about which dishes contain egg and cheese and they'll be happy to assist you. Nice indoor/outdoor seating environment. Highly recommended!

Pros: Wide variety, Friendly, Cheap

Cons: Many dishes may not be vegan
