Yunlin Zhai Cuisine - Merchant Reviews

Located at Aman Fayun Lingyin Temple, Yunlin Zhai is known as "Hangzhou's most high-end vegetarian restaurant".

Many vegetarian enthusiasts like to compare Yunlin Restaurant with Shanghai Fu Hehui, and the two restaurants do have a lot in common as the top vegetarian representatives in Hangzhou and Shanghai respectively. In terms of dining form, both of them are set menus, Fuhehui has three set menus of 580 yuan, 780 yuan and 880 yuan, while Yunlin Restaurant is divided into two tiers of 500 yuan and 800 yuan; In terms of dish style, Yunlin, like Fu Hehui, does not make imitation meat meals, and the main purpose of the dishes is to retain the original taste of the ingredients; In terms of the quality of ingredients, both restaurants are very strict in the selection of ingredients, and there are many high-quality ingredients from all over the world, such as truffles and wild matsutake mushrooms. The slight difference is that Fu Hehui changes the menu on a quarterly basis, while Yunlin Restaurant is more frequent, basically changing the menu every 2 months.

The appetizer on the spring menu features freshly seasonal toons and spring shoots, as well as vegetarian favourites avocado and baby tomatoes. The jade and white jade are full of creativity, and several square pieces of white tofu are placed on the porcelain stove served on the table, and there is a leaf underneath the tofu, and the dish is truly completed when the aroma of the leaves is baked and penetrates into the tofu. The sweet taste is similar to fried spring rolls, the crust is crispy, and the sweet taste is the puff pastry red bean cake, the heart-shaped red bean cake is small and cute, and the sweetness is just right.

The chef's intentions can be seen in many dishes in Yunlin Restaurant, but if it is compared with Fu and Hui, there are still many gaps. In the same form of set meals, the taste of Fuhehui dishes fluctuates and is full of layering, while the taste of Yunlin Restaurant is not much different and is easy to get greasy; In the presentation of dishes, Yunlin is also a lot behind, many dishes with abrupt colors, by many diners complained about the "strong local taste", its delicacy is not even as good as Guiyu Mountain House, Linhu Vegetarian Restaurant, two vegetarian restaurants in the same scenic area. Although Yunlin is the most high-end vegetarian restaurant in Hangzhou, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Aman has long been known as the most expensive hotel in Hangzhou, with some of the most popular restaurants in the hotel, such as Lan Xuan, Steamed Restaurant, and Tea House. Yunlin Restaurant is located in an old building of the hotel, the exterior of the building is like a farmhouse's mud-walled tile house, and the interior is also all wooden structure, which looks simple and retro. The service staff of the restaurant have been professionally trained, the service is active and timely, and will patiently introduce each dish to the diners when the dishes are served, and the customers will be sent to the door when they leave the store, the service experience is better, and 15% of the service fee will be charged in addition to the meal. A number of seats are reserved for hotel guests every day, and the number of tables available is limited, so it is best to book in advance. It should be noted that Yunlin Zhai Cai is located in the Lingyin Temple Scenic Area, if you enter from the Lingyin Gate, you need to buy additional Lingyin tickets, it is recommended that diners drive or take a taxi from the direction of Meilin North Road to the restaurant, and the store will give a 2-hour parking ticket.
