Sichuan is a thriving place of traditional Buddhism and Taoism, with a long history of vegetarianism and a large vegetarian audience. Chengdu's Buddhist temple culture coincides with the vegetarian food that emphasizes elegance, and the vegetarian culture has taken root in this southwest corner. In the early years, religious elements were a major selling point of vegetarian restaurants, but now the "new vegetarian school" emphasizes vegetarianism itself, returning from imitation meat dishes to the original taste of ingredients, and adding the concept of kaiseki cuisine. The vegetarian restaurant has elegant ingredients and beautiful plating, attracting many high-end consumers to come here for business negotiations or formal banquets.

Huadao Yushan Pavilion is a kaiseki vegetarian cuisine originating from Taiwan, and its founder, Chen Jianzhi, made Chengdu his first stop on the mainland. The elegant environment, creative dishes and cooking methods that preserve the original flavor of the ingredients make Yu Shan Court the first choice for vegetarians.

Tiexiangsi Water Street is an emerging commercial block in Chengdu High-tech Zone, with specially planned small bridges, flowing water, courtyards and pavilions full of Shu Feng and water charm characteristics. Therefore, it has attracted many restaurants and restaurants that focus on literary and ancient styles, including Huadao Yushan Pavilion and the Qing'an Vegetarian Restaurant mentioned below. The whole building of Yushan Pavilion is divided into two halls, the front hall includes scattered seats and private rooms, and the Chinese-style wooden tables and chairs are matched with red as the main color of the wall, which is dignified and atmospheric. Walk through the front hall to the open courtyard, where bamboo and rattan chairs surround the small table, which is the favorite tea house of Chengdu people, which is very close to the local culture. There are also several tatami designed compartments around the courtyard, and the traditional Ming and Qing dynasty furniture with soft music adds a bit of elegance to the vegetarian dishes without too much decoration.

The word "kaiseki" comes from the allusion that the monks did not eat at noon in ancient times and quenched hunger with warm stones, and in the modern catering industry, it is reflected in the refinement of the dining process. Yushan Ge, which focuses on "kaiseki vegetarian food", does not accept a la carte, and all meals are prepared according to the number of people, and the price is between 198 yuan / person and 398 yuan / person. The difference between the price points is mainly reflected in the grade of the ingredients for the hot dishes. For example, in the 2018 summer menu, the 398/person course added more ingredients such as truffle mushrooms, bamboo sunflowers, and Parmesan cheese than the 298/person course.

Our recommended dishes are Yuzenkaku's signature dishes and can be enjoyed in all price ranges – the highly acclaimed monkey steak is made by marinating the lion's mane mushrooms for 24 hours, beating them to loosen their fibers, and then frying them in black sesame oil on both sides and drizzling them with black pepper rosemary sauce. The mouth is tender and juicy, no less than a real steak, and has a unique mushroom aroma. Although made from lion's mane mushrooms, this dish is quite satiating, and the pepper sauce inevitably feels full, so it is suitable to be served with a cup of plum vinegar to relieve greasyness. As a regular staple food in the set meal, lotus leaf pearls are a combination of sticky rice and clear soup. The glutinous rice balls wrapped in mushrooms are chewy and richly layered; The consommé is delicious, and the seasonal vegetables in the soup are refreshing. One rice and one soup complement each other. Kung Pao shiitake mushroom is a special dish that combines Sichuan flavor, the fried king oyster mushroom is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and maintains a full meaty feeling, but it has a sweet and sour taste and lacks spicy taste.

Yushan Ge's set menu includes appetizers, soups, main dishes and desserts, nearly ten dishes, although made of vegetarian dishes, but a set of a set of adult men to eat is basically not a problem, and friends with larger appetites can also add free vegetarian braised pork rice full of Taiwanese characteristics. Yushankaku's set menus change regularly, and new ones are introduced to suit the ingredients and weather of different seasons, such as bamboo shoots in spring, truffle mushrooms in autumn, and overheated pots for cold winters. The elegance and stability of the standard are the reasons why Yushange's dishes can dominate the highly competitive vegetarian industry in Chengdu.

The service in the store is considerate and friendly, from reservations, guided seating, tea ceremony performances before meals, and various services during meals, to be polite and without losing the sense of distance that should not disturb the guests to eat and talk. In addition to the main meal, Yushan Ge also provides 128 yuan / person / 198 yuan / two Chinese afternoon tea set, including tea, desserts, buns, exquisite and elegant shape, for friends who want to experience the environment and service, may be more cost-effective.
