Jade Buddha Vegetarian Yù Fú Sì Sù Zhāi Guǎn

My brother and I arrived a bit late, so our only option was noodles. We ordered from a menu with pictures at the entrance, paid, received a number, and found a table to sit at. This place may not offer comfort or charm, but it's perfect for a quick meal in a cafeteria-style setting. The orders were called out and brought to a window, where the cashier realized we were foreigners and brought our food to the table. Perhaps because we were both very hungry, but the noodles were amazing. We shared a tasty, decent-sized and affordable plate of noodles and left satisfied after our meal.

We enjoyed the food, but the restaurant is difficult to locate. It is tucked away at the back, beyond the main temple and the designated smoking areas. You have to pass through the newer section of the temple grounds to find it. The restaurant is quite popular, so be prepared to wait in a long queue. The ordering process is unique - you wait in one line to place your order on the right, then move to a second line next to it before receiving your food. The staff does not speak English and the menu is a bit challenging to navigate, but Google Translate can help. The food was delicious and richly flavored, although the menu is limited. Prices are very affordable. I recommend this place if you have patience.

This small restaurant, styled like a canteen, is situated in the courtyard of a Buddhist temple. It offers a peaceful atmosphere and serves simple noodle and rice dishes with mock meat and accompanying sauces. Visitors must pay a 20 RMB entry fee to access the restaurant through the temple.

Good: • The dishes I ordered (fried noodles and vegan sausages) were really good. The noodles are oily and delicious, and the sausage's texture is very meaty (almost too much for me) and it's bit of somehow sweet and smoky, yet not bad. • Crew is trying to help, even though they didn't fully understand that I am not willing to order anything with eggs or milk. • The only vegan/vegeterian place around the temple area, perfect for lunch while visiting the temple. Bad: • The place doesn't feel so clean, some table aren't being cleaned after people get up. • Crew don't speak any English so it's harder to know which dishes are vegan, and they don't understand much the idea of veganism since I was recommended some non vegan dishes even after saying what I don't eat. • Crew don't really know what's inside the dishes and had to ask the chef • Not all the menu is vegan! Ask abou every dish you order if it contain milk, eggs and other stuff. • Also the cookies they sell inside and outside of the resturant are not all vegan • Prices are not one out of $ as the app says, more like out of $ • Crew said the place is open until 5:30pm, not sure I fully understood them though

They made me a salad that looked like sculpture, I can't imagine how long it took them to make. However, all the food came out timely and always humbling to eat at a temple. Thank you Updated from previous review on 2018-05-07
