The Summer Tea House (Tsingyi Tea House) 静颐茶馆

This could be the best Vegetarian restaurant in Shenzhen. Already open for many years it has a loyal following. The menu contains many photos of the dishes so it is easier for an expat to order than most restaurants. Some dishes actually use soya beans to simulate the taste and texture of real meat and seafood. In accordance with Buddhist custom they do not use any garlic or onions or serve alcohol. The 7th floor is more traditional Chinese tea house style while the 8th floor as a nice modern look to it with an outdoor terrace great for sipping tea. We took our parents here when they were visiting Shenzhen and it was one of their favorite restaurants.
