Millet Vegetable Noodle SoupMillet vegetable dumpling soup uses millet as the main ingredient, combined with fresh vegetables like cabbage, carrot, and green onion.

Reviews
- stout_walnutThis old vegetarian spot has been around for like 15 years, tucked into Wudaoying Hutong — super convenient after hitting Lama Temple. The vibe is kind of a quiet escape even though you're in the middle of everything, with wooden tables and chairs and enough space between tables that you're not sitting on top of each other. Service is warm and relaxed, feels like eating at someone's home honestly. The food is legit imperial-style vegetarian cooking and some of it is wild how close it gets to the real thing. The crispy "roast goose" is their signature — skin is super crunchy and the inside has all these layers going on. The "three-cup fish" is actually king oyster mushroom but the texture is so meaty and snappy. And the kung pao chicken — I'm not even kidding, it tastes and feels like the real deal. Came solo for a chill lunch but I could totally see doing a group dinner or birthday thing here too. Prices are fair, per-person spending is pretty reasonable. Heads up — lunch rush gets a bit packed so maybe go early or later. Definitely coming back.
