We went twice :) - Edit
Really loved the ambiance and the food. They have 90 dishes, most of them traditional Chinese dishes, and there were some really great dishes among them. Only wasn’t a huge fan of the dessert, but I didn’t have room for them anyway. We went two days in a row, since you can’t try everything at once ;).

Best deal in Beijing! - Edit
90 different dishes, free refill, mostly amazing food; all of that for only 68 Yuan! I wasn't a huge fan of (most of the) desserts and Dim-Sums (which were mostly desserts), but with so many options, everyone is guaranteed to find something they love!

amazing - Edit
many options of nice food. they say it's more than 90 options.. going there is very interesting to get to know Chinese food and also to try dishes you have no idea what you are eating, but knowing everything is vegan ahahaha. also a good place to spend some time resting and using the wifi😄. price was 68 CNY to eat as much as you want, including ice creams and juices!

If I could eat here every day I would! I was so close to breaking into the kitchen to see if someone in there would consider marrying me!
Read moreThe buffet is huge! They advertise that they have 90 different dishes. I didn’t count them, but after stuffing myself to the point I had to be rolled home, I definitely believe them. There’s a bit of everything: hot and cold, sweet and spicy, many different kinds of buns, noodles, “meats”, fruits, sweets, and deliciously cooked vegetables. We came back the next day because we realised that there was no way we could try everything we wanted in one go, and the buffet was actually a bit different the next day. There’s definitely something for everyone, and after trying as many different thing as I could possibly fit in my big stomach, I only found one thing I wasn’t a big fan of - everything else tasted amazing! My only complaint is that the drink selection isn’t too exciting and the soda tasted very watered down.
The staff don’t speak English but they were very friendly and still tried to communicate with us. The place has a nice atmosphere, and even though it looks to be pretty popular it didn’t feel too loud or crowded.
The price pr person is 68 yuan, which I think is very nice for the amount of food.
Pros: Looots of different vegan dishes to try, Cheap, Friendly staff and nice atmosphere
Cons: The drinks weren’t very exciting , No English on the buffet signs

As a vegan, finding an all vegan buffet is heaven enough. The food here is good as well! Temple of Heaven 2? This was a great find. Highly recommended.

What a gem! - Edit
Vegan, all you can eat, cheap and delicious - what more can you ask for? Nice atmosphere, good variety of soups, mock meat and veggie dishes.
Read moreI arrived quite late in the evening so the dishes weren’t that hot anymore. Had a great feast nevertheless.
If you come from Tiananmen square or Qianmen station, it’s easy to find when you just walk west along Qianmen West street and look for Vege Tiger sign. Apple maps showed correctly. They have different seating times so double check it’s open before you go.

Best Vegan Chinese Buffet - Edit
The staff is very friendly (I’m a foreigner and sometimes places aren’t happy about that) and they have limited English to help explain things. The price is a flat 68 RMB for all you can eat. There is a large variety of Chinese and non-Chinese types of food from appetizers, mains and desserts. Remember to wear a provided disposable glove when taking your food. During covid their hours of operation are limited to lunch times (11-2).

Super nice all you can eat - Edit
After searching a bit (the marker at Happy Cow isn't correct) we found this nice restaurant. It's near the Quinamen. We got the tip that it's near to the Mc Donald's, so we searched for mc Donald's at Apple Maps and found the restaurant easily. The food was much better and healthier as the fast food nearby. We had the chance to discover a lot of different dishes from the north Chinese cuisine and enjoyed our 1.5 hour stay a lot. It as Saturday and around 6pm it was already very crowded.

great buffet - arrive early, prepare for crowds - Edit
One can order off a menu, but the big draw is the buffet: 11-1:30, 5:30-7:30. The restaurant is open a half-hour past the buffet being open.
Read moreFresh, varied buffet for roughly US$9-10. Soups, salad, fruit, many vegetable and tofu dishes, noodles, rice, steamed bread, beverages, etc. I especially loved the sticky rice steamed in leaves, stuffed with chestnut and tofu.

Very convenient for vegans - Edit
During my stay in Beijing this was the only place I ate out - five days in a row.
Read moreAs vegan food isn't always easy to fine, Vege Tiger was a good and safe option for me.
It's a buffet restaurant with plenty of dishes to choose from: soups, salads, mains, sides, desserts, drinks...
A bit more expensive than average, but decent food.
Apparently there's even an option to become member and receive a discount - like spending 3000 yuan and getting 500 for free. Good thing if you're staying for a longer period of time. However, almost nobody speaks English, so it's good to go with someone who speaks Mandarin.
Food might become lukewarm at times, or run out, but usually always plenty to choose from - it's very unlikely you leave unsatisfied.
Not so many drinks though, also might run out more quickly.
Very nice soups, I liked them the most, even tough they are notably the least fresh foods there (may be from day before, just heated up again).
Desserts wasn't so much my liking - try yourself.
Staff ok, but not overly attentive or helpful.
Notorious lack of napkins.

Nice buffet - Edit
Had the buffet between 17:30-20:00. I arrived at about 18:15 and the food was still plenty and warm and it wasn’t crowded at all. There were a lot of dishes, also vegetables and soups and fake meats, and even a lot of sweets. A good variety. They spoke only a little bit English and had English explanations at the food, listing what was in there. Of course it was still a big buffet, so a bit impersonal, but the actual food was fine. The drinks were interesting though, strawberry juice and so on, not really everyone’s taste.
Read moreI paid 68 Yuen.
When I asked them if they were vegan, the staff explained that they were vegetarian, without meat, fish, eggs and milk. That was enough for me.
Pros: Many options, English lists of ingredients
Cons: Impersonal style, Strange drinking options

Good but a little expensive... - Edit
The food was good but the buffet price is kind of expensive only because of the location.
Read moreSuhu has another all-you-can-eat restaurant near Tsinghua University and you pay at least 20¥ less for practically the same food. I guess it's good if you're in that area and you're hungry though.

A saviour for vegans in Beijing - Edit
So stoked to find this vegan paradise and have a filling, decent meal. All of the mains are delicious, especially the eggplant. Myself and my friends did not enjoy the desserts, but that could be because they were very traditional Chinese desserts with little sugar.
