Top beijing recommend! - Edit
Cosy decoration, DELICIOUS FOOD, and reasonable prices for vegan food, had to come back here for my last meal in China! Very friendly service with a lovely staff member who remembered us visiting 5 weeks ago at the start of our trip! Definitely recommend to eat vegan but still have a taste of chinese food. The mushroom dish was amazing and the kimchi pancake was great too.

Great dinner experience - Edit
Amazing food and dinner experience. We loved everything, from the food to the atmosphere. Try to make a reservation beforehand as the place is quite small. They have an instagram account where you can contact them.

High quality food! - Edit
What an amazing restaurant! The menu is quite a bit smaller than other restaurants but everything they serve is of the highest quality. They also had a big selection of vegan wines if that is your thing.
Read moreIf you want to try this place, I would definitely recommend sending them a dm on Instagram to reserve a table as we saw a few people get turned away.

Europäisches Chinesisches Restaurant - Edit
Die Chinesische Küche hat viel zu bieten, aber leider war das Essen hier nicht so gut wie sonst wo. Eher vergleichbar mit Chinesischen Restaurants in Europa. Trotzdem sehr gemütlich und ein guter Ort andere deutsche Touristen kennenzulernen

We’re incredibly sorry you had a negative experience. We assure you that every dish is authentically Chinese as even the chilli sauces have been hand made from different provinces in China. We also don’t do any fusion dishes with western cuisine and our level of spice is far from that of Europe. Please let us know what you ordered as to understand your review and can make appropriate amends. Chao.

Not to be missed! - Edit
Beautiful little restaurant on the edge of a bust Hutong area. The menu is small but mighty - full of big hitters.
Read moreMore of a European small plates vibe, rather than the large sharing plates in most Chinese restaurant, which made it easier for 2 people to try a lot of things!
Staff speak great English, and they also have a great array of drinks including wine and sake.

Pros: Kimchi pancake and spring rolls, Lovely atmosphere, Great portion size and price
Cons: No toilet, only public (typical for that area tho)

Small, charming restaurant with perfectly English-speaking service, international wines, and the best crispy tofu I’ve ever had. Not exactly cheap, but definitely worth the price.

Delightful mapo tofu - Edit
We were thrilled to find this after a wander through the hutongs. The mapo tofu is the star, but we also really enjoyed the dumplings and kimchi pancakes. Great vibe and delicious food!

Die Nudeln und die Kimchi pancakes kann ich besonders empfehlen. Die waren großartig. Ansonsten sehr knuffiger Laden mit ein wenig zu kleiner und zu europäischer Getränkeauswahl.

Tiny Spot, Huge Flavor — A Must-Visit Vegan Gem in Beijing 🇨🇳 - Edit
The food here was truly amazing—everything we tried was delicious. While the service was a little slow, the quality of the food more than made up for it. This is a very small restaurant with only a few tables, so it feels intimate and cozy.
Read moreThe homemade noodles and dumplings are an absolute must-try and the fried tofu was also outstanding—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Despite the wait, this place easily earned a spot in our top five restaurants we ate during our 2 weeks in China.
If you’re in Beijing, I highly recommend coming here.

I had the Hunan Style Tofu which was delicious and had a good amount of spice. Wish it would have been a bigger portion so. The Mountain delicacy rice wrap were two pieces, a bit small, but also very tasty!
Read moreThe TaoZi rice pudding was good too, i really liked the consistency.
The atmosphere was good, nice music and super friendly staff.
Overall i am very happy that i found this place.

Excellent small vegan restaurant - Edit
A very good restaurant with diverse vegan dish. The restaurant is quite small, less than 10 tables so it can be filled quite quickly. The staff is very friendly and speaks English and a little bit French.

Great small restaurant - Edit
Great vegetarian and vegan food, but a bit pricey for Beijing so expect a lot of foreigners/tourists. Helpful staff that speaks English. Not too many tables, so it fills up quickly
