Not great but cheap

Food was quite bland, but it wasn’t too expensive for a proper restaurant (30-60 per dish).

I would have given them three stars but bugs in the floor and table grossed me out a bit, so only two stars

Sweet and sour lotus root. Not very good at Pin Cha Ju in Shenzhen

Stuffed bread - this was the best I had at Pin Cha Ju in Shenzhen

Good spot

I ordered about six items here. I have for them were great, the other half are just OK, not even worth eating the just ok dishes.

There are three employees here, when is obnoxious, the other two are really nice.

I like that they have an English menu, that’s really great.

The tea is delicious!

Pros: English menu with pictures, The tea is great, Nice place to eat. (Pretty / Not cafe)

Cons: Felt like too many dishes were deep fried , At closing time you have to go lol, Wasn’t a warm vibe

Deep fried eryngii mushrooms - great but very fried at Pin Cha Ju in Shenzhen

Good but fried at Pin Cha Ju in Shenzhen

Excellent food, large menu

This place has a large menu with mushroom, mock meat, soup, tofu, and vegetable options. The menu has English and pictures for almost everything. Prices seem decent. They accepted cash no problem. Staff is friendly.

King mushroom craziness. I ate this solo but best shared. It was relatively expensive ~370¥ compared to other menu items. Very tasty. at Pin Cha Ju in Shenzhen

Lots of variety and Good service

The menu was in English, as people have said. There are a lot of options and the food is very tasty, although a little oily. The inside is really beautiful, lots of tea -related items and big windows so lots of daylight. Will be returning regularly for sure.

Pros: Lots of options, Nice setting inside , English menu

Cons: Food is a little oily, Could be hard to find but I used dianping

Lovely atmosphere and food.

You have to eat early, otherwise they start cleaning the floor as a sign that the closing is approaching ;-)

To know: it is on the first floor.

Great vegetarian sanctuary amongst the Shenzhen meat-mayhem

Definitely 5 stars for a vegan in China - would be a 4 star rating elsewhere. Don’t be spooked by the first floor - the restaurant is on the second floor and is a very nice Buddhist themed / authentic Chinese restaurant. Massive menu - the number of choices is almost overwhelming - but the dishes are great and the staff is very helpful. Easy to point at pictures and names and descriptions of dishes are in English, along with numbers for ordering. I went with a Chinese friend and it turns out the salad dressing had dairy in it - so not a fully vegan restaurant, but outside of that all other dishes were vegan.

Pros: 99% vegan , friendly staff, cool ambiance

Cons: turns out the salad dressing had milk

Hidden gem

You walk up a staircase and think you are headed to a hole in the wall but it's a large Buddhist themed tea & vegetarian restaurant and shop too. Wide menu and good for a full meal or tea and snacks. Menu has some English & staff is friendly but not much English.
