Overpriced - Edit
Ye Bo Zhai is located among the Hutongs near Lama Temple. The ambience inside is relaxing and spacious, and the menu offers a wonderful variety.
Read moreThe food however is ridiculously overpriced—like double the value of other vegetarian restaurants for ok food. The prices are sometimes more than you’d pay in LA for the same.
I ordered the braised mushrooms and gluten (85) with the mixed rice (8) and left hungry. There was much more i wanted to try like sesame cakes, but not for 55 ($7.50)

Incredibile - Edit
Fra tutti i ristoranti vegani/vegetariani questo mi ha veramente colpito perché oltre ad essere un posto molto carino, il loro menù è gigante come il territorio cinese. Mettono a disposizione tantissime opzioni e per questo ci ho messo una vita a guardarlo, poi un'altra a scegliere i piatti, oltre il fatto che sia uno dei menù più belli, molto ben fatto. La signora è stata molto cortese e super disponibile fin dall'inizio..

Peaceful retreat - Edit
Absolutely huge menu, filled with photos of every dish and English translations.
Read morePrices are a little higher than other meals I've had in China over the past few weeks, but the food was definitely worth it. So many dishes that I haven't seen on any other menus so far, and everything I ordered was absolutely fantastic.

Mediocre and overpriced - Edit
I spent 100 Yuan for a noodles dish and dumplings that are both quite bland. For the same amount of money, I can get more and better food at Chaochao. I will not go here again.

Nice place for a rest - Edit
Found this place by accident while exploring the Wudaoying hutong and was really happy to see a vegetarian restaurant in such a place.
Read moreSome of the dishes were better than others. We didn’t like the tofu dish we ordered and I was disappointed in the tea, which I expected to be a higher quality at the price we paid. The rest of the stuff was okay.
I think the biggest selling point for this place is the location and the lovely traditional interior decor.
I would consider going there again if I was in the area but it’s not a place I’ll seek out for the food.

The owner of this place stayed open a little longer for us as we arrived late nearly closing time. The food was really good, definitely would come again.

Huge variety of vegan dishes - Edit
The menu is heaving with a huge variety of vegan dishes. The dining area is cosy and spacious.
Read moreThe aubergine fritters are top notch. The broths and winter soups are perfect. They cook with a lot of mushrooms, if that's your thing.

Lovely spacious restaurant - Edit
On a fashionable alley not too far from the Lama Temple, a beautiful peaceful place. The food ranges from the really delicious (mushroom wrapped in tofu skin) to the ordinary. A little pricy.

Nice upscale vegetarian restaurant - Edit
Had lunch here yesterday after visiting the Lama temple. The restaurant has a nice interior and is quite upscale. The prices were on the higher end but there were a few cheaper noodle dishes around 35-55 RMB. We ordered two noodle dishes and they were both very tasty and large portions.

great food - Edit
I literally said "this is the best thing I have ever eaten" while taking my first bite of a shiitake mushroom dish here. We also had the mapo tofu, which was also delicious. All Chinese food. It is in the more expensive side, but worth it as the atmosphere is somewhat upscale and the food is well prepared. There is a smaller sign on the side of the building that says "vegetarian". Staff were very helpful and they sent over the staff person that spoke some English. They have pictures in the menu.
