Yan Gege is a vegetarian hot pot jointly invested by Hong Kong TVB artists Shao Chuanyong, Tu Yan and Lu Songxian.

Different from the general vegetarian hot pot, the hot pot of Yan Gege adopts the form of a double-layer old copper pot. The top layer of the copper pot is called "Witch Mushroom Pot Bottom", and the restaurant claims that this soup base is made of wild high-quality porcini mushrooms flown from Yunnan, and simmered with carrots for more than 8 hours, the soup is clear and delicious. There are a total of 5 flavors of the bottom of the pot to choose from, the most distinctive is the spicy pot bottom, the bottom of the pot is boiled by a variety of vegetables, peppers and pure natural spices, spicy but not stimulating, if you don't like to eat spicy, you can also choose the bottom of the tomato pot, the fragrant tomato soup is boiled together with potatoes, the taste is more intense.

All kinds of mushrooms are the main hot dishes of the restaurant, matsutake mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, chicken fir mushrooms, maitake flowers, morel mushrooms, white jade mushrooms, and lotus mushrooms are the ingredients with the highest order rate. The mushroom blanching is usually boiled in the bottom of the mushroom pot, and after the pot is cooked, the clerk will take the hourglass timer and simmer for 10 minutes. After the pot is boiled, the staff will also help to serve a few bowls of soup first, and tell diners to drink the soup first before eating. The hot dishes in the lower pot are mainly a variety of imitation meat vegetarian and fresh vegetables, and although vegetarian luncheon meat, vegetarian egg dumplings, mustard cheese balls, and vegetarian sausages are also made from various mushrooms and soy products, the appearance and taste can be comparable to real meat. In addition to hot pot dishes, there are also a variety of vegetarian dishes and dim sum such as pork cutlets, stir-fried vegetarian crab roe, curry dumplings, coconut milk horse bean cake, etc., although these dishes may not taste as good as the previous vegetarian restaurants.

Yangege is located in the Yaobaxiu Creative Park in Jing'an District, after walking into the creative park and seeing Starbucks, you can see several conspicuous characters of Yangege when you continue to walk forward. The dining area of the restaurant is large and has plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The interior decoration is a mix and match style, with a variety of Western-style oil paintings, ornaments, European-style tables and chairs, and Chinese furniture with a sense of age everywhere, and the collision between modern and retro is quite strong. Most of the service staff in the restaurant are not bad, ordering, serving soup, and turning on and off the fire are relatively timely, but there are also individual service personnel who have received a lot of complaints, such as spilling the soup when serving the soup, forgetting customer needs, and overcalculating the cost at the checkout, etc., and the professionalism needs to be improved.

Compared with other vegetarian restaurants, the price of Yan Gege is not affordable, and the platter of a few slices of matsutake mushrooms and porcini mushrooms is priced at 288 yuan, which makes many diners question whether the dish is worthy of its name. On the other hand, although some mushroom foods do have high nutritional value, diners are advised not to be superstitious about the "health and beauty" effect, and just enjoy their deliciousness.
