Typical large Chinese veg buffet, plus a bit - Edit
This restaurant is marked on Happy Cow as vegetarian, not vegan, but I asked and they told me it is “pure vegetarian” and there is no milk or egg in any of the food.
Read moreLike most large vegetarian buffets in China, there is a lot of stir fry, some steamed things like sweet potatoes, some breads, some raw veggies like cucumber salad, some soups, fresh soy milk, rice, noodles, rice noodles, fruit, etc.
This place also has a fresh-off-the-griddle section with tofu and local burrito-like things, and today at least they even had a “pizza” which, OK, wasn’t really pizza, but it was good.
In theory the food is separated into mild and strongly flavored areas, but I couldn’t tell much difference.
Pay at the little counter in the back first. 30 RMB per person, children half price.
Pros: Great variety , Good flavors, Decent price for the area

Fantastic - Edit
Loves the buffet, especially some items are made on the spot. Good introduction for foreigners new to Chinese food, for the variety.

Lovely. - Edit
Popped by fro lunch and fell in love. The food was great, traditional Chinese dishes in a buffet style restaurant. You pay 25RMB and it's an all you can eat system. The dishes are not labelled and the staff as far as I am aware do not speak English as they are volunteers. So you may have to ask in Chinese if something contains egg or milk but for the most part its quite easy to tell and most dishes are completely vegan. I ate to my hearts content and it was nice to sit amongst people I didn't know, especially if you speak Chinese people might come up and ask about you which reflects the community style setting.

Cons: No English Labels

nicest people, great super cheap food - Edit
LOVE this place. We went one night at almost 7pm and they were closing, only a few dishes left, so the nicest lady ever let me make a plate for free! Good food but I couldn't imagine how amazing it would be the next day for lunch - they have 100 dishes, hot stations, soups, SO MUCH food. And it's only 25 rmb! That's insane!! But go early. We got there at 12:30pm ish (it was packed btw), and by the time we went to get second rounds half it it was already cleaned up and the hot station side was closed! So the hours are very haphazard but you must go. Everything was delicious too. Vegan stuff is not marked (nothing is labelled) but I think it's easy to make educated guesses.

value for money - Edit
Located on second level of Yinshi （隐市）. Eat all you can buffet for 25 RMB. Typical Chinese dishes. They have a really wide variety, from soups to vegetables to buns, noodles and pancakes. Huge crowd during lunch but plenty of seats available. Pick up your cutlery after payment and return them at designated counter after your meal.
