This vegetarian restaurant has earned its reputation as the top-rated vegetarian dining destination in Ipoh—and for good reason. The menu offers an extensive selection of vegetarian dishes, catering to diverse tastes with creativity and flavor. Among the many highlights is the Golden Yam Ring (佛钵飘香), a dish my parents and I absolutely love. The yam ring is crispy on the outside and soft on inside with rich yam paste, and filled with flavorful vegetables and roasted cashew nuts. The restaurant interior is massive, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated with elegant touches, making it a comfortable and inviting space for diners. Whether you're there for a family meal, a casual outing, or a special occasion, the setting is ideal. For those planning events, the restaurant takes it to the next level with dedicated event halls spanning the 3rd to 5th floors. These spaces are perfect for weddings, banquets, and other large gatherings, offering both convenience and style to elevate any celebration.

Updating my post from 2 yrs ago. Visited again in March 2025, and with a group of friends this round. Food is as good and all enjoyed. Take note.of operating hours, and it's closed on Monday. -------- 5 star for food, service and place. We enjoyed the food very much and cost us only rm86 for 4 dishes. Last night in Ipoh, very happy to find this vegetarian restaurant. Although it's not near to my hotel, it's worth the grab ride here. We will surely visit again the next time I'm in Ipoh. The recommended dishes are unqiue. The boss Mr Lau was there to see to the customers. Humble and friendly. Thank you I notice the toilets are newly renovated or nicely maintained. Love the tiles!

Type: Chinese Vegetarian Restaurant Signature: Assam Fish Rated as one of the top vegetarian restaurants in Ipoh.. This place specializes in vegetarian food that looks like the real thing. Easy access to parking and comfy environment. For the CNY set we tried the Signature Assam Fish (4.5 ) which was excellent... even looks like the real thing. The Curry Prawns (4 ) was so real it even tasted and looked like the real thing. There's even Vegetarian Yee Sang (3 ) which was so so only.. very much like those u buy from supermarkets. The place is slightly pricey compared to other vegetarian restaurants but food generally is very good. Just that service was a bit slow. Taste Rating 8/10 Ambience Rating 9/10 Service Rating 6/10 Value Rating 7/10

+-rm270 for the 7 dishes. Food is pretty good. Service was great. We brought our own cake and the cashier/boss attentively took dessert plates and fork out before we even requested.

Comfy ambience with spacious dining area. A selection of healthy delicious Chinese vegetarian cuisine. They doesn’t served much on mock meat dishes, mostly plant based food. Price wise consider not the cheapest vegetarian restaurant in Ipoh, but the food that is done deliciously.  Food is seasoned well and slightly overpowering, and full of fragrance. There is a banquet hall at upper level, with long and spacious, elegantly dressed in white, suitable for any occasion celebration.
