Qing Shui Lian Hua Lotus Vegetarian

Had the vegan hot pot here and it was great. The hours of operation of the food is a little difficult, especially since I was coming from out of town (living in Chongqing at the time). Quite a few mock meats available, which was amazing. And vegan moon cakes! I’d really give it a 3.5/5

A bit hard to get to near the south entrance to Sichuan University near bus station for 35 and 335 next to the river and bus stop for #1003. This is a clean family style restaurant with air conditioner and western toilet with toilet paper. No smoking. Though the staff doesn't speak English they are very friendly and helpful. The menu is in characters with photos and pricing, mostly 10-30 RMB($1.60-$5) We chose the two different variety trays, 6 items, 18 RMB($3) each, one hot and one not...the waitress warned us. The trays were the same except the main dish with mixed brown and white rice, lightly cooked bean spouts,Bitter melon???, a pickled diced long beans and a seaweed soup with white radish and fake ham. I had the hot: a substitute pork with hot and green peppers which was very nice. My gringo non vegetarian partner had the mild, Pork Ribs??? with pineapple and he figures it is his favorite vegetarian dish ever and will order a full serving the next time he comes. We also had a mixed chopped veggies and ham dish with buns for stuffing, 28 RMB

I live in Wenjiang, but almost every time I'm in downtown Chengdu, I come here for the cured potatoes and Veggie Jiaozi. The whole menu is vegetarian and most articles are vegan. They serve yogurt, so it is not a vegan institution, but you can definitely find vegan products. Don't be fooled by the meat names! The dishes are made from tofu and tempeh. Even if it says chicken or fish it is not!!! The atmosphere is nice for the area, somewhat more refined than some of the other restaurants around the Sichuan University, but small and intimate. The tables and chairs are not the most convenient, but they do the job. The round table in the window is the most beautiful and comfortable in the restaurant. The biggest difference in this restaurant than others is that the mix of bright tables and well-lit atmosphere means that there are little quizzes or difficulties to see. Many restaurants in Chengdu are very dark. This is not one of them! It's bright and cheerful inside! If you don't speak Chinese, the menu has full color images, so you can point to items you want to order. The staff has very little English. Prices are comparable to other dishes restaurants in the area and if you order at least one dish per person, it is unlikely that you are starving.
