AI Summary

Level-three vegan Chinese icon. mock meats, calm Buddhist vibe, cult sweet and sour pork.

Calm, incense-scented dining room with a quiet Buddhist-vegetarian feel; tables sit close together and the room fills fast once open.

Reached by a quirky lift to level three, five-allium-free and egg-free preparation for strict vegetarians, and a mock-meat menu that reads just like a standard Chinese restaurant's.

Runs on Buddhist vegetarian principles (no five alliums, no meat), with a menu structured like a traditional Chinese restaurant, reworked entirely in mock meats and vegetables.

Reviewers consistently call it exceptional value for vegan Chinese food in the CBD, though there's a small surcharge for card payments.
