Yanwu Meditation Hall is one of the most Buddhist vegetarian restaurants in Shenzhen, with Buddhist elements in all aspects of layout, decoration, dishes and clothing. One of its major features is the adoption of a fee per person and no fixed menu, which is similar to a private dish model reflects its high-end positioning, and it has become one of the ranks of mid-to-high-end vegetarian restaurants in Shenzhen in less than a year after opening.

Ignoring the dilapidated environment of the building, board the elevator to the restaurant and you can feel a bit of antiquity in the hollow wood carvings that surround it. When I came to the door, a golden wood carved Guanyin statue stood out in my eyes, which was in line with the positioning of the "meditation hall"; The small bridge and flowing water in the store, the traditional Chinese wooden tables and the partitions of blue bricks and white walls are scattered, and the corner of the guzheng creates a strong ancient style. The restaurant is divided into four sections: Zhai, Zen, Wushu, and Buddha, which correspond to the Zhaitang, the Zen Paradise, the Jeongdokan, and the Meditation Hall with three Buddha statues, so Yeonmu Meditation Hall is not only a vegetarian restaurant, but also has the function of carrying out various Buddhist cultural activities.

The set menu of Yanwu Meditation Hall is divided into three levels, which are 128 yuan/person, 168 yuan/person, and 268 yuan/person, and the chef will make dishes according to the price, number of people, and ingredients of the day. Although it may change, there are still some relatively fixed signature dishes, such as the homemade black tofu named "Dao Zhi Jian", which has a jelly-like tender texture and a hint of pea aroma when drizzled with pumpkin juice, and the taste is delicate and delicately plated. Cheese Baked Tomatoes Mix taro horseshoe corn with cheese and fill it into the hollowed-out tomatoes, the heavy cheese flavor is neutralized by the tomatoes, and the layers are rich but not too greasy, sweet and sour. Bamboo fungus has a crisp taste and can be matched with a variety of ingredients, so it is commonly found in vegetarian restaurants, where the bamboo fungus is smelted together with pumpkin and American wild rice, and the stewed method makes the sweet and crisp bamboo fungus compatible with the delicacy of pumpkin soup, plus the very chewy wild rice, a bowl is very warm to the stomach. Many of the regular dishes at Yanwu Meditation Hall are of a good standard, but the salad and walnut soup with gastrodia are not sincere, the former is modeled after Western salads but is not brilliant, and the latter uses the form of Cantonese stew to highlight the bland taste of mushroom ingredients.

Although there is still a long way to go from the "Best Vegetarian Restaurant in Shenzhen" in the mouth of fans, the chic atmosphere and exquisite dishes of Yanwu Meditation Hall are indeed unforgettable. Even if you are not a Buddhist, you must be comfortable to come to such a pure and simple environment and enjoy a vegan feast with private dishes.
