Vegetarian restaurants can be expensive in the city, but Shangri-La is a good option if you want excellent Chinese food at a reasonable price. Shangri-La has been around since 1978 and doesn't do vegetarian as a gimmick; everyone who works there believes in the benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. In fact, they take the approach that food is the same as medicine and proudly proclaim that statistics show those who follow a vegetarian diet have longer, healthier lives. Shangri La uses only fresh garden vegetables, bean, nuts, tofu and whole grain products for their dishes, including the very popular Veggie Chicken Soup boiled in a nutritious broth of Wolfberry and Lotus Seeds.
