Delicious! - Edit
Our kids loved the dumplings and lotus stem balls. The vegan style ‘gongbao jiding’ (cashew nuts, bamboo shoots, Sichuan pepper) was just as delicious.

Decent - Edit
The Dan Dan noodles were delicious and portions are large. We had the mapo tofu and weren’t huge fans of it.

Delicious, affordable and beautifully presented food - Edit
This was a really nice restaurant with delicious food at a great price. Of course coming to China with an american salary everything is affordable, but even so, three nice dishes for about $13 still seems great. I was under the impression that everything on the menu was vegan but I could be wrong.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Great veggie dishes and fake meat, Upscale atmosphere

We expected more - Edit
The restaurant was very easy to find with the help of HappyCow and Apple Maps. The interior is nice and creates a cozy atmosphere. The stuff was very polite, but spoke no English.
Read moreWe tried three different dishes: the „chicken“-curry (58 Yuan), something like bbq tofu (38 Yuan) and some seasonal vegetables (18 Yuan). The curry was good and different to the traditional Chinese cuisine we discovered the last weeks. The tofu wasn’t spiced at all and the sauce had no real taste. The vegetables were ok, we got spinach with ginger and soysauce - nothing special but ok.
All in all we expected more when we read the reviews at HappyCow, but the stuff and the place were so nice that we can’t give this place just 3 stars.
Pros: Stuff, Interior

Fancy & delicious - Edit
This place is very beautiful, and the staff are friendly. It definitely is pricey, but you get what you pay for! There’s less expensive options to choose from so it’s worth it to go and see what they have. You can go up the elevator to the 4th floor, and the entrance is on your left down the hall.

Cons: Kinda expensive

Wonderful, delicious, elegant - Edit
It's hard to say how impressed we were with this restaurant. It is an upscale restaurant - cost maybe twice as much as one of the vegan buffets in Chengdu, but still was less than $10 for a wonderful meal, totally worth it. My friend and I ordered 3 dishes, and then ordered another 3 dishes to take away for the next day. ("Takeaway" seems to be understood internationally - although the staff does not really speak English. We did more communication via a translation app) The extensive menu has both English and pictures. The seats are upholstered and comfortable, the atmosphere was quiet and bright. The staff was very friendly and attentive. At their suggestion, we ordered our takeaway to be cooked fresh after we finished our lunch. They were happy to prepare it, even though the lunch hour was over. The restaurant is on the 4th floor - you can see the name (including English) from outside on the ground floor, but you need to find the elevator (lift). If I had more time in Chengdu, I would work my way through the menu, trying everything.

Nice high quality food - Edit
Big easy to find resturant in a mall, since it's located exactly to the left when you leave the elevator (can be seen through the mall's windows like previous pictures here show).
Read moreThe widest vegan menu I've seen in china untill now including Shanghai! Many traditional Chinese dishes that is always fun to explore and experience (don't expect western-like food).
I've tried two dishes, one was better than the other but maybe just because I usually prefer crunchy food over soft one.
The food:
1. Mapou tofu: first time for me trying this famous tofu style. I didn't like it very much as it was very soft and somehow tasteless. But nice bits of raw pilled tomatoes gave it some interesting twist and helped me finish the whole thing. Very recommended for whoever like very soft and delicate food (maybe even babies).
2. Mysterious pastry: I call it like this since I still have not idea what I've experienced! The crunchy outside dough was wonderful, and it was filled with some kind of sweet filling that I couldn't exactly figure out. Maybe nuts or special local fruits/vagetables. Either way I liked it very much, it was great to finally try pastry after months of searching vegan ones in china. Kinda sweet dish and SUPER HOT from the inside so carefull!
It's a big and nice place with fair-high prices compared to other vegan restaurants. I would've defenatly come back to try more dishes if I was staying longer in Chengdu.
Pros: Hugh menu with a lot of food types, Big and well decorated
Cons: Medium-high prices, No English speaking

Amazing food - Edit
On the expensive side compared to other local place but so worth it - the wontons in red chilli oil are incredible! Definitely recommend. Go up in the lift to the 4th floor and it's immediately left as you get out.

One of the best meals I've ever had - Edit
Myself and two omni (but vegan curious) friends went to eat here and the food and service was great. It was so good that my non-vegan friend requested we go back!
Read moreEverything we had on the menu was good but the dumplings in a red oil were phenomenal and the sword beans were probably one of the best things I've ever eaten.
A few things on the menu are vegetarian and not vegan but they're pretty obvious to spot to any vegan.
The service is excellent and attentive without being aggravating. They don't cook with msg either!
Would eat here again and can't recommend enough!

Nice, mostly vegan restaurant - Edit
Located on the fourth floor in a dead shopping mall, it was a bit difficult to find. The staff didn't speak English but the menu was in English. The interior is very modern and the atmosphere is very nice. We got a table by the window and the view was nice.
Read moreThe food was reasonably priced and tasted very good! I'd definitely recommend visiting this place.
Pros: Nice atmosphere and interior, Delicious food, English menu
Cons: Not clear what's vegan or vegetarian.

tasty, but watch out for msg - Edit
I went here with a couple friends. We had some mapo tofu, fried mushrooms balls, some greens, and desert. The food was very good but I got super sick from what felt like msg (headache, fuzzy brain, sleepy, thirsty--my normal msg reaction). I normally ask for no msg but forgot when I went here. It kind of turned me off the place though. Still seeking places that don't use msg as a rule.
Read morePros: flavorful interesting selections, nice clean airy atmosphere
Cons: watch out for MSG

Very good restaurant - Edit
I loved this restaurant and went there twice during a one-week stay in Chengdu. There's a wide variety to choose from. Some dishes are very inventive - try the mushrooms in mango juice! You can easily avoid mock meat and/or spicy dishes, if you don't like those. My non-vegetarian husband also enjoyed the place very much - this is vegetarian food for food lovers. Nice looking place, friendly staff. Take the elevator to 4F and you're right at the entrance.

Great restaurant - Edit
Located 5 minute walk from Wenshu Monastery, this restaurant is quite easy to find as, on the side of the building high up, is a sign saying Vegetarian Lifestyle Restaurant!
Read moreIt's on the 4th floor and is large. The menu is huge and takes some time to go through and there are pictures and English descriptions.
The staff were great and can speak a bit of English if need be. However this is China so don't expect them know things like I have a wheat allergy (which the Westerner at the next table had) and then expect them to understand. Have it written down!
We had four dishes, the black pepper steak was great, the white and green dumplings very tasty and the beancurd skin rolls were very good.
If you are worried about spicy food in Sichuan, then all the spicy items have peppers next to them on the menu so they are easy to avoid.
Pros: Huge menu, English speaking staff, Good food

A hugely disappointing experience - Edit
It’s a really fancy looking place at the top of a deserted shopping mall. We ordered roasted pork, green beans and a hot pot. We asked if they could all be served at the same time. We got our roasted pork first (it wasn’t great and looked nothing like its picture in the menu), the green beans came ages later (these were pretty good) and we waited ages for our hot pot (all the while watching other tables getting their orders) by this point we’d finished our other 2 dishes and when we said about the hot pot the waitress acted like it had been forgotten. We said we didn’t want it and didn’t want to pay for it the guy who seemed to be in charge was really rude and walked away from us mid sentence and left the non-English speaking waitress to deal with us. A hugely disappointing experience.

Best Jujube Tree location - Edit
Located in a relatively empty mall, this restaurant is popular with tourists and locals alike.
Read moreArguably the best restaurant in town for vegans, the interior is upscale, the waiters attentive (some even speak English) and the bilingual menu has plenty of delicious inexpensive options.
If you have been to one of the Jujube Tree locations in Shanghai and were not overly impressed, you should give them a shot again in Chengdu.
The chefs are miles better, use less oil, the portion sizing is bigger and the menu is better, featuring great vegan versions of local specialties like dan dan mien and ma po tofu.
Pros: Nice interior, Attentive staff, Great cooking
