Yiye Yishi opened its first branch in Chengdu in 14 years, and in the past 4 years, it has hit the vegetarian industry in various places with the new model of Tibetan tea vegetarian hot pot, and opened branches in many cities. The Shenzhen store is located in the 1979 Creative Park, overlooking the scenery of Xiangmi Lake and with a light and unique vegetarian hot pot, attracting many customers to taste the original taste of vegetarian food.
Hot pot can indeed maximize the original flavor of vegetarian ingredients such as mushrooms, plants, and beans, but it will also further exacerbate the bland taste of the ingredients, and the dipping sauce of hot pot is particularly important. One Leaf One World provides a plate of prepared secret sauce for each hot pot, and the Sichuan-spicy and original dry dishes are stirred with a spoonful of soup, and the salty and spicy sauce can enhance the flavor richness. There are several bases to choose from, such as tomato soup base and wild mushroom soup base, but for those with heavier tastes, choose the signature Tibetan tea bag soup base, because Tibetan tea has a strong flavor and the more you boil, the more flavorful it becomes, which is very helpful for increasing the flavor of food.
Similar to regular hot pot, Yiye Yishi also provides a lot of hot pot ingredients such as tribute balls, shrimp, and meat, all of which are made from vegetarian ingredients such as soy protein, wheat, and konjac. This kind of "imitation meat hot pot material" has a good appearance, but the taste does not have much highlight after hot pot shabu. In contrast, the store offers a lot of plants that are not commonly found in the market, such as mushrooms, coral mushrooms, bamboo sunflower egg slices, cucumber vegetables, peanut sprouts, etc., which are eye-catching, changing people's impression that vegetarian restaurants have few types of ingredients. In terms of vegetables, if ice grass is already a common item in vegetarian restaurants, why not try the restaurant's unique firecracker sprouts and kelp sprouts, the former is crispy and crispy, and the latter is tender and has the taste of the sea. On the contrary, the taste of "Love Zasa", which is the signature staple food, is not outstanding, the crust made of barley is always too coarse, and the vegetarian meat slices with the texture of luncheon meat are not tasteful enough, and the most interesting thing about the whole dish may be the so-called love story that is cute on the back of the wrapper paper bag.
The decoration of the store is still antique, and the design of the whole compartment could have added a lot of quietness, but the store made a compromise of "allowing shared seating" in the face of large customer flow, which made the dining atmosphere change from the original "one person, one pot of vegetarian food" to "looking at each other and not hiding the embarrassment", which is quite funny. In addition, the unfamiliarity of the service staff with the dining process has also caused a lot of mistakes, affecting the experience.
