Good idea but not recommended

Nice range of western (pasta, pizza, tacos) and eastern dishes. You order on a screen next to the table and can see good pics of all the dishes, so that’s a cool idea although it hurts your arm to scroll for a long time!

Overall the food was pretty good, and it deserves credit for having vegan meats and such a good menu. However, like many places in Shenzhen I find that the western dishes have been lost in translation a bit and come out being somewhat unauthentic. For example, the pizza was on a super thin base and had some odd sauce - it tastes good but not like any kind of pizza I’ve ever seen in the west! They’re also guilty of calling themselves vegan when most dishes are in fact vegetarian. The only effort they’ve made is in replacing real meat with faux meat.

This is also the kind of vegan restaurant that doesn’t leave you feeling healthy and clean after. The food is a little greasy/oily and doesn’t give the fresh/organic vibes.

After visiting 3 times I don’t think I’ll ever visit again. The food isn’t tasty/healthy enough, the menu isn’t vegan enough, and it’s overpriced. The mall it’s in is quite nice though and is connected via bridge to two parks, so it’s nice to hang out there afterwards.

Amazing place

Beautiful, high tech place with good service. I’ve eaten here many times, but still sad to see no vegan desserts. Many items are vegan or veganisable, which you can choose directly on the menu or request to the server. Their page advertises JustEgg, but they don’t actually carry it. The avocado milkshake can be made with plant based milk and it’s delicious, but they can be worried that it won’t taste good so you have to sometimes just insist that you’ll take it anyways. The food is absolutely delicious and I was there opening day. I continue to come back hoping for more vegan dishes. They carry star-field meat now, a Chinese version of Impossible or Beyond meat. Maybe they carry both. Support local if you can. Many items contain egg, garlic, onion, etc. so be sure to pick through if your Buddhist.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great environment, Some English speaking staff

Cons: Expensive, No vegan desserts and limited drinks
