Great food - Edit
Very nice place. Was there in the afternoon. Was completely empty. Waiter recommended the number 21 I think and it was amazing. It was literally still boiling when it arrived and was really delicious. Most things are vegan. The entire place is definitely veg. No English menu, baidu translate helps. Prices are okay. Not cheap cheap though. The street is pretty nice to stroll after eating when the weather is nice. Lots of locals hanging there laundry to dry or chilling in front of their house/store with a drink

Good cheap food - Edit
The food here is good and the sesame cookies are even better!!! However this place is not fully vegan only because it’s Buddhist... some of the baked goods aren’t vegan but the cookies with black sesame seeds on top and the butterfly ones are vegan! If you don’t wanna go for food I’d go past just to by some of the very affordable sweets!

Great to find vegan food in China - Edit
First vegan restaurant I visited in China. Very little English spoken but was easy enough to order. Very busy which is clearly a good sign. Mock meat made me nervous, but it’s a Buddhist temple so much be vegan. Definitely worth a visit! Ignore the previous review, they didn’t actually eat here.

Wasn't Open Between 2 To 4 - Edit
I reached there at 2. But the lady said that the cook is sleeping till 4. Only snacks were available. Not of very good quality as well.

I will update the review if I get a chance to visit the place again.
