素满香 at Gu Lou 鼓楼 is a popular place for vegetarian buffet in Ningbo, Zhejiang. This restaurant is a 3-storey shop with ancient Chinese exterior. The restaurant is always crowded. For a flat rate of RMB25, one gets all-you-can-eat buffet. The extensive range of dishes is amazing. It's really value for money. The food is kept fresh and served hot in a bain marie. We tried their millet porridge, veggie pancakes, dumplings, glutinous rice, stir fried shredded potatoes, etc. Everything is nice. Their freshly-made dumplings are one of the hot item. They will be gone in a split of seconds. There's no egg, onion or garlic in their buffet, it's actually vegan. It's a highly recommended restaurant for Vegans.

Let me start saying that everything was completely vegan, although I'm not sure if that's the norm. For 25 RMB fill your plate as often as you want, you cannot go wrong. This place sits right at the entrance (or exit? inside Gulou on Gongyuan lu and is super easy to find. Food is great, and there are so many dishes. They are constantly refilling as it goes fast, sometimes with various delicious dishes. I came here on a Sunday at noon and it was ridiculously crowded. It only took a few minutes to find a place, because people always seemed to come and go. You get only one dish, a bowl and a cripple to use all the time. I come back to Ningbo in a few months and will of course visit here again.

We got here about 5pm (I was warned it gets super busy but it was fine at that time , and for 23¥ were offered the all-you-can-eat veggie buffet. There’s a wide range on offer, including desserts and soft drinks, and the dumplings, roasted pumpkin, and noodles with green beans were really good.
