That place sounds awesome! But many items are not vegan or vegetarian if you just leave out the meat. For example, there could be butter or chicken broth. Or a bunch of other things that would be a problem if you’re eating that way for an ethical reason. I’m pretty sure the only time we had strictly vegetarian food in Beijing was at the Buddhist restaurants. Elsewhere they season everything with a chicken powder called ji. My vegetarian had to make peace with that for the time we lived there, but it would be unacceptable to him here.
