Great burgers and fantastic service.

Very nice family run restaurant that I found through HappyCow while travelling in Beijing. I had a couple of double "chicken" burgers that were pretty much one of the best I have ever had anywhere in the world. Good Vegan food seems to be very rare in Beijing so I am very happy I found this place.
The staff was very friendly and everyone spoke very good english. Great service.
I will visit again for sure, highly reccomend Wutai Yun. Thank you!

Pros: Fantastic Burgers, Friendly Staff, Relaxed Atmosphere

Cons: none

From the beginning until the end, this restaurant was very warm and friendly.
The food choice is diverse and the products are all fresh and organic, which is very appreciated, especially in China.
The staff can speak English so it is foreigner friendly.

Excellent food and service

My wife and I just returned from a week in China. This was the last restaurant we ate at and we're glad we did.

Other reviewers have noted the hotpot, and most other patrons appeared to have ordered that, so I suspect that's their speciality. We opted for a couple of stir fry dishes and dumplings. All were excellent. We especially enjoyed the ma po tofu which was nicely flavoured with Sichuan peppercorn.

Our server was very warm and friendly and spoke perfect English. We chatted a bit after the meal about their organic farm and local delivery service. Overall it seems like a really unique business and I highly recommend dropping by if you're in Beijing.

The restaurant is about a 15 minute walk north from the Xizhimen metro and clearly marked in English in the front.

Pros: Staff speaks English, Good value, Excellent quality food

Best hotpot broth in town!! 🥰

I love this place so much! Since we discovered it we come all the time - they have many yummy things but I love their broth the most with the hotpot; their organic vegetables are also sooo tasty! Taste completely different from any regular market produce. So happy we found it :)

Pros: All vegan!! , Organic vegetables , Friendly and English speaking staff

Some dishes are so expensive!

I was so excited to eat here after the good reviews, but got so disappointed.

We’d been climbing the Great Wall all morning and were starving. We was asked if we where there for the hot pot, without even having a glimpse at the menu. We had no idea. When we saw the prices we where chocked. The small hot pot was 300 or 400 CNY and the big 600 or 700. We tried to figure out if the small one was going to be big enough for the four of us, but it felt like the waitress tried to force the big and the most expensive on us. We even thought the small was too expensive.

We ended up with splitting 2 big plates of dumpling, very small ones (40 CNY or so each) and two burgers, very big (20 CNY or so). None was remarkable though. The only thing sticking out was the burger patty, which our two non-vegan friend didn’t believe was vegan.

I’m truly so disappointed and so genuinely sad I can’t put more stars in the review.

When we where leaving there was a girl handing me tomatoes in a bag and asked if I wanted them. I, very confused, asked if I got them “for free or what?” And she/they just laughed and said “no, they cost of course!”. I said we don’t have a kitchen, she said I could eat them as they where. I turned her offer down and then she said I could have them for free if I wanted. Very very VERY confusing....?

Best Vegan value ANYWHERE

Wutai Yun is THE total vegan experience that makes you proud to be a vegan! The food comes from their own organic farm north of Beijing. They make their own organic tofu. The staff is totally vegan and cheerfully congruent with the Buddhist/Tao values of the restaurant. Many speak English (ask for Ariel, Olivia or Debbie). Food is crazy delicious. I buy all my organic products there so that when I’m not eating there I can cook their organic food at home. It’s reasonable. They have a loyalty membership program. They’re conveniently located subway and bus-wise. Dumplings, eggplant, braised tofu and hotpot. Everything is absolutely fantastic. Interesting bonus: most of the delightful waitstaff are knowledgeable in Wu Xing, an ancient system of Chinese astrology based on the five elements of earth, fire, wood, water and metal. It’s based on your date and time of birth with a total of eight points distributed across these elements. They will happily give you a FREE Wu Xing reading and also give you information on how to improve areas where you have lack. For example, I am missing earth. To compensate for this I can carry crystals and wear earth colors. It’s massively interesting and uniquely beneficial. Go already! See you there!❤️

Pros: Organic , Friendly, congruent and helpful staff, Delicious homemade dishes

Cons: Decor is basic, Only one location , Organic Flour is not from the farm

This is what hot pot looks like before you put it in the pot. Most tables are especially constructed with their own hot pot in the middle. at Wutai Yun in Beijing

They make their own bread and some delicious coconut buns from organic flour that they have sourced (through not from their farm). at Wutai Yun in Beijing

More than a restaurant, it's an enlightening experience. Fluent English, menu with pictures and cheaper than it says on Happy Cow

This is more than a restaurant; as an English ex-pat this place is enlightening and so much easier to eat in. Fluent English, personable and conversational service. And cheap. There's even a room devoted to home-made sauces!

All the food is grown on their own farm, they have delivered a TED talk about a new system of sustainable living and all the produce tastes much fresher and more delicious than you would expect.

It's also a wellness centre where you can learn holistic approaches and become part of a community. My flatmate is a strict vegan and joined them many times, even to work on the farm! I myself decided to give it a try and they taught me traditional problem solving methods which helped me out of a work crisis.

After eating, I was asked if I wanted my elements reading based on my date of birth. It's easy to brush this off as a vague reading with open meanings but it genuinely was spot on, even capturing my attention to detail and blunt qualities and identified my health and social precautions. Amazing!

I paid a lot less than I was expecting for a delicious meal, company and refills of calming buckwheat tea. Great for when I just want to chill out and read a book.

It's essentially a straight line from Xizhimen station so it was easy to find, even in the dark. Didn't need to take a bus.

I made friends, learned new things, visited a sauce room, was able to be understood and paid well less than my budget.

Pros: Outstanding service and in English with pictures, Homegrown food and sauce room!, Cheaper than expected

Progressive restaurant, amazing food. MUST VISIT

Wow. Veggies are self-grown and organic. Staff is very attentive and friendly. English-speaking personnel and menu with pictures (all vegan). The food tastes great. Hot-pot, dumplings and a set of traditional Chinese dishes. For people who enjoy fake-meat they also offer burgers which are easily the best vegan ones I have ever had. And the best: It is surprisingly cheap.

They also bake their own bread and have a little store where they sell their veggies, tea and other things.

If you are vegan and in the city there is no way around this place.

Pros: Great food, Friendly, english-speaking staff, Cheap

Amazing hot pot and dipping sauces

We were greeted at the door by the owners, one of whom studied at the University of Victoria in Canada. She explained that she and some friends started this and two other restaurants in order to develop this farm-to-table organic food offering. The restaurant sources some "fake meat" from local producers. The kebabs were delicious, as were the green beans with "bacon". We had a split hotpot. the spicy half was too hot for us, although we are hot chili lovers. Into the hot pot went a variety of fresh vegetables and mushrooms. There is a whole room with ingredients for dipping sauces that allow diners to be as creative as they wish. The food was delicious and the service excellent. However, the menu is a bit confusing, as some items are just ingredients to be added to the hotpot and others are stand-alone.

Pros: Fresh food, Organic, Hotpot at table

Cons: Menu a bit confusing

So friendly and delicious. Everything vegan

You choose a soup for the hot pot. Mushroom soup was my favorite. Then you choose all the things to throw into the soup. Extremely fun for a group. I went two nights in a row.

Pros: Everything fresh and organic, Really affordable , Super friendly and helpful

Best vegan place in Beijing!

This place makes you happy! Such a great organic vegan restaurant with a small vegan shop inside! Amazing English speaking staff. Hot Pot is super delicious. All vegetables come from their own organic farm and the prices are very reasonable. They also organize some activities at the restaurant. Just talk to the staff, they are very friendly and willing to help. I love this place.

Good and inexpensive food, amazing staff

This restaurant was my favorite during a week I spent in Beijing. The food is simple and inexpensive compared to other vegetarian/vegan restaurants I tried, but the meal was tasty, satisfying, and healthy. Two of the staff spoke excellent English and we had a long and interesting conversation. The products for sale are also worth checking out. I will definitely come here again the next time I am in Beijing.
