Cafe China - Yangshuo

I was so glad to discover on my last trip to yangshuo that lotus vegetarian restaurant has reopened at a new place. the restaurant is located directly on the corner of the west street (beside the lava azza coffee stand). eating was good inexpensive, well flavored and not too oily, which can be a real problem when eating in china. especially delicious the wok fried brokkoli, the green beans and the gong at vegetables. Positive great new location with outdoor, under and top floor seating, fresh, high-quality eating, reasonable trips and many vegan options. negatiw, it can be hard to see how it has a west street address, but it's just around the corner from the west street right. updated by previous review on 2017 04 11

This restaurant is a standout. It is a full dining experience in a beautiful setting, decorated with local antiques and artworks dispersed among separate rooms, patios and alcoves. The wait staff was lovely and helpful. The food was delicious, emphasizing local specialties. We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant!

The restaurant is beautiful, I'm sure they could squeeze in a few more tables there, seems rather spacious! The menu is interesting and the food is good. Lots of choice and not too expensive. Ate here a couple of times with a group and everyone enjoyed it. The fried rice side dish was the best I had in China. It was all very tasty. Very clean, and pleasant atmosphere, beautiful menu. Staff were a little vague and distant.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice. We went for lunch and ordered two entrees. Normally, we'd try more food, but the prices were pretty high, so we decided to economize. The taro cups with veggies came with some amazing garnishes! It's almost worth ordering just for that. We were disappointed by how many of the items weren't vegan (there were some we were sure would be, but we asked and found out they contained egg there's no clear indication on the menu). We also tried to order a few other things, and were told that they weren't available. Not sure if they weren't available for lunch or just not that day we were there. All in all, it was ok. A little overpriced, but a solid restaurant, especially considering it's the only vegetarian restaurant in town. We ended up eating all the rest of our meals at our guest house (Fun Sam's), as the chef was happy to make us vegan food (at a much lower price).

This restaurant has a good location as it is close to West Street so it is convenient. It plays relaxing music and has an amazing setting with dark wooden furniture and pretty orange lights. They serve complementary edamame beans and watermelon. Their menu is really extensive and while we were there we tried many dishes as we went back to this restaurant 4 times! Our favourite dish was the fern noodles with spicy tofu and pak choi. I thought the vegetable rolls were average. The dumpling soup was gorgeous as was the Buddha's delight a dish of fried vegetables and glass noodles. The waiters were really friendly and english speaking. They were really helpful as I wanted to know the chinese for fern noodles and where I could get hold of them as well as some other things and they were happy to help us. The only con is that it is pricey compared to other restaurants in Yangshuo, but we liked the food so much that we didn't mind. August 2010
