Convenient Vegetarian - Edit
Right in the heart of the Yu Garden Bazaar area. As others have said, the bottom floor caters to locals, very hot (Saturday noontime and summer heat), busy, and not intended for us international tourists. I went upstairs and there were plenty of open tables plus it was air conditioned (somewhat). Someone took my order right away and the food was served hot and quickly. As a vegetarian there are not too many choices in this area. Keep in mind you are in a Shanghai super-busy tourist area and not a ritzy hotel. From that perspective it was just what I needed to satisfy my hunger then get back into the crowds.
Read morePros: Location, price, good Chinese vegetarian.
Cons: Keep in mind it's not a ritzy hotel style place.

Great restaurant - Edit
It is, indeed, inside the Yu’Yuan Garden Bazzar / Old Town, but not inside the YuYuan Garden. The first floor has mostly inexpensive noodles and dumplings. The second floor is more expensive but still very reasonable with a pretty extensive menu and very tasty food.
Read morePros: excellent food, large selection of dishes, good value

Cheap, convenient - Edit
This place was a cafeteria style cheap and (somewhat) cheerful spot. We only went to the first floor, didn't realize upstairs was different. Went for early lunch, just pointed at what we wanted and someone told the front desk clerk, where we paid. She was pretty brusque (tossed our change across the desk) but the cooks and serving lady were fairly friendly. Not super clean, but pretty cheap: we got four snacky dishes (a couple of types of dumplings, spring rolls, deep fried pancakes) and each dish was 12Y.

Not our best meal - Edit
There are two parts, ground floor for the "locals" and the top floor for the tourists. It appears the ground floor prices are significantly cheaper than the top floor. But the ground floor the menu was in Chinese only. The food did not look that appetising, and it was fatty and gluggy.
Read morePros: close to gardens
Cons: gluggy, tourist prices are inflated

well another eatery, but vegetarian! - Edit
Yeah, recommended for a quick bite. It is not bad, the fried food is very oily, and it is not clear at what time they open or close at dinner time. I did not manage to get the information though I am not a dumbo.
Read moreRelax, have a soup or some noodles or rice or tofu and enjoy. But do not exspect a posh restaurant.
Pros: quick, veggie
Cons: fried food oily

Dirty and stale shop... urghh! - Edit
First of all, no idea who wrote the description about this restaurant but anyone who reads that and goes to eat here will be horrified upon arrival. The restaurant is split into two levels. The floor level is revolting... the level of hygiene is way below par, making any hint of appetite disappear rather quickly. We were ushered upstairs, where the a la carte menu is apparently offered (or actually we think they might use it for foreigners, since the floor level is disgusting). Upstairs was less horrific, but we were already quite worried by this stage - wonder what the kitchen looks like... hmm. We ordered just enough to fuel us until the next stop - some bowls of noodles and a plate of vegetables. All were quite sugary-sweet although not altogether unpalatable. The hygiene concerns were all too much for us though so we were out of there as soon as we could get it all down. We were in the area again a few weeks later and joked about going in for some more.. not likely to happen in this life ;)
Read moreCons: low hygiene standards, limited menu, zero freshness

Unappetizing - Edit
I should have probably listened to the other reviewer, but was hoping that they had improved since. They haven't. We ate upstairs, and the food was really vile. And overpriced. It's dirty, the downstairs doesn't smell too nice, and the waitress could barely be bothered to give us the time of day. If it were not in a central tourist location, they would have gone out of business long ago.

Still Great - Edit
I just had lunch at Songyue and it was worth writing about. The restaurant itself, at least the first floor, is nothing special, but I think the food is really worth it. The massive Luohan Noodles (just say luohan mian!) was full of lotus seeds, taro, nuts, mushrooms and the usual bits of gluten and tofu. At 25Y, it's a pricey noodle dish, but worth every fen.

busy place with basic food down and more choice up - Edit
You can reach this place by taking the metro on line 10 to Yuyuan.
Read moreIt is fast food style downstairs with a basic menu in chinese only. You pay at the till and are given good within a few minutes.
Upstairs there is an english and chinese menu with greater choice and air conditioning at a greater price.
We ate downstairs. We had rice noodles in mushroom soy sauce with a few greens for 10 yuan and 4 spring rolls for 10 yuan. I liked the food, it was fairly basic but tasty and the lady serving the food was so friendly and helped me make my order at the till as I could not communicate at the till. They also had bean soups, dumplings and buns downstairs.
Pros: quick if you want, friendly

Disappointed - Edit
My visit to Chunfeng Songyue Lou was extremely disappointing. Considering the restaurant has been in business for years, it should serve very good food. And, in fact, several years ago I did have a bowl of Monk's Noodles there that was quite ok - not great but ok.
Read moreThere are 2 floors. Downstairs serves simple fare plus noodles. Dishes are served on the second floor. We planned to dine on level two but the atmosphere was so dismal and the absence of staff and diners was discouraging. So, we went downstairs which was relatively busy. We ordered stir-fryed noodles and some dim-sum type foods in little steamers. Everything was awful. The noodles were incredibly oily and the other foods were inedible. I should add I've been in China for a long time and am used to oily dishes. I also love tofu, seitan, (wheat gluten) and other veggie foods. I'm not a newbie when it comes to eating Chinese vegetarian food.
I think the owners are putting little effort into this business. It's in the middle of the YuYuan Bazzar and a continuous stream of tourists come and go - many don't get the chance - not that they would want to - to return the 2nd time - so business is ok - the owners are making money. I will not return.
Pros: location
