Amazing food in serene atmosphere - Edit
A truly hidden gem, as most people probably end up in the posh teahouse next door, which also sells a few vegan items. As stated in other reviews, this one is inside the temple and officially only open to members of said temple. After us having asked nicely, they were happy to serve us though and extremely friendly.
Read moreIt's probably the most quiet place I've been to in Metro Manila so far and the food was amazing with very decent prices. We would definitely come back and are happy to have found this nice place
Pros: Serene atmosphere, Great food for fair prices, Very friendly people

Delicious food in relaxed atmosohere - Edit
This tea house is inside the Buddhist temple, go through the door on the side of the gate where the security guard sits. It is a quiet and serene little tea shop with delicious food. Everything is vegetarian, I didn’t see any dairy or egg on the menu so it may be all vegan as well, though I’m not 100% sure. The fried mushroom was incredible, will be back for sure.
Read morePros: Good food, Good tea, Relaxing ambiance

Oriental vegan (All with no 5 pungent roots) 🙏🙏 - Edit
Being vegan has its difficulty adventuring for food, being vegan and following the no 5 pungent roots for a better mind and body connection has an even higher challenge.
Read moreSo grateful to have this place, enjoyed a brief walk to the 2nd floor for the Buddhist hall.
Food were excellent, my family and I devoured everything and ordered some snack items to go (fries and vegan nuggets)
An absolute must try!
Party of 4 with the to go cost us about $35USD
Pros: Food is excellent , Place is peaceful, AC is on in the dining area

Sehr gut! Super! - Edit
Das Restaurant ist ein echter Glücksgriff. Es gibt chinesisches Essen, schmackhaft und interessant zubereitet. Soweit ich das überblicken konnte war alles vegan. Sehr freundliches Personal. Es war nicht ganz einfach zu finden, da es in einem Gebäude liegt und außen nur chinesische Schriftzeichen zu sehen waren.
Read moreThe restaurant is a lucky choice. You can have Chinese food, tasty and prepared in an interesting style. As far as I was able to find out all was vegan. Very friendly staff. Not very easy to find since it is located inside a building, Chinese letters outside.

Wonderful find - Edit
This nugget of gold is located in the bottom floor of the MABUHAY TEMPLE, so maybe use that in your GPS search. WORTH THE SEARCH. I got the vegetarian mushroom ball soup, a side of fried tofu, and the wintermelon tea. I suggest you order this exact combo (I'll upload some pictures). The soup was delicious and light, I added a little soy sauce and "sticky sauce" from their sauce bar, the tofu was crispy and not greasy AT ALL with perfect seasoning, and the tea was beyond incredible. Wonderful restaurant.
Read morePros: Delicious light food, Kind, helpful server , Comfortable seats / good AC
Cons: A little tricky to find intially (keep reading!!)

Wholesome, filling food - Edit
Easy to find if you read the earlier reviews (just ask the security guard)... it’s the building to the right of the Vietnamese Embassy. The food itself is well prepared and neatly presented, but could be a little bit tastier.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan / vegetarian options, Peaceful dining experience
Cons: Could be a bit tastier

blessed food - Edit
We had some delicious noodle soup as well as wontons and steamed dumplings. Excellent and tasty. Pretty location and the staff and nuns are very welcoming. Temple upstairs is very pretty.
Read moreBe aware - it looks like an embassy or other government building. Ask at the entrance gate for the Teahouses and they will welcome you in.
Pros: tasty Buddhist food , lovely atmosphere , beautiful temple
Cons: a little pricey - each dish 100 pesos or more

Inside the Temple - Edit
It's a Teahouse located inside the Buddhist Temple(Fo Guang Shan Mabuhay Temple) along the busy Street of Pablo Ocampo St(formerly Vito Cruz)infront of Century Park Sheraton Hotel near Harisson Plaza Mall.
Read moreWe have a difficult time finding this Teahouse because they don't have any signboard outside. The staff told us that it's an exclusive restaurant especially for members who worship in their temple.
The food is great and delicious. They serve vegetarian food. If you're a Vegan, ask the staff first so they can prepare something for you.
Price of food is a bit high compare to some vegetarian restaurant but i understand because it's an exclusive Teahouse for members only.
Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, nice vibe
Cons: moderate price, no signboard outside
