Fu He Hui

MICHELIN Guide Shanghai 2025 Released, Awarding a Dim Sum Restaurant a Star for the First Time

"Awarded One MICHELIN Star for many years, Fu He Hui has continued to improve, and its dishes not only contain profound cultural connotations, but also exquisite performance of traditional cooking techniques, which has been unanimously recognized by the Inspectors and promoted to Two MICHELIN Stars. Exuding Zen-inspired serenity, the rooms reflect a philosophy that veganism isn’t just about the food but is a way of life. Only set menus are served and they change every season to make use of the best local ingredients. Masterfully crafted and plated courses include some authentically recreated recipes from the past. Tea is also closely related to Zen so do order from the extensive tea menu to complement the dishes." - The MICHELIN Guide

"A meal in one of Fu He Hui’s tranquil private dining rooms takes you on a journey to discover China’s diverse range of exotic produce and fungi finessed into delicate morsels that showcase the true flavours and textures of these ingredients." - Rachel Tan

Honouring ingredients and honouring culture: two tall tasks most restaurants strive for and has Fu He Hui done this beautifully. It's hard to find a plant-forward fine dining menu that doesn't have one, if not, many dishes that feature truffle. It's a lazy, boring way to drive up the price of your menu while adding flavour. Fu He Hui brings out the dynamism and delicacy of vegetables. The standouts for me were the wax gourd, the wild mushroom, and the goji berry (shaoxing wine). The wax gourd has a gentle flavour and is so intricately assembled. The wild mushroom was the highlight for me. Normally, I hate mushrooms; I have tried it many times over the years, but the texture combined with the earthy flavour have always made me gag. I ate the entire portion here and then my partner's. It was cooked so well, the fig smoke infused into the flavour and the pistachio crumble completed its transformation to decadence. The goji berry was wild. I was skeptical of shaoxing wine being in a dessert, but the kick and sourness from it made this such a refreshing dessert. This on top of the fact that they were showcasing Chinese ingredients and cooking techniques. I'm so so impressed with this place. There are also tea pairings; I'm always a fan of places that don't rely on alcohol and usually prefer non-alcoholic pairings. They're much more difficult to execute well, in my opinion. The tea pairings complemented the food very well. Service is also wonderful. Can't say enough about this place, can't wait to come back and see what else they come up with.

Elegant, poetic, and pretty innovative vegetarian dishes with interesting flavours. The memorables were the daikon course which demonstrated the superb knife skill of the chef, the pine fungus soup, the bamboo shoot rice and the last eight treasure dessert. Not forgetting the mapo tofu from their hidden menu. The tea pairing mostly complemented the meal quite well. Service was cordial. Ambience was minimalist cosy.

We arrived on a Saturday evening to this michelin starred vegetarian restaurant. The three of us were seated in a private room decorated in muted earth tones and absolutely silent. We had an english speaking server and his assistant and received lots of attention. We all had a 12 course tasting menu. Each dish was beautifully presented often with the ingredients cleverly disguised. The kudzu root had crunchy toasted quinoa and crushed peanuts. The green rattan pepper sauce was somewhat hot. The wax gourd with bamboo shoots had subtle flavors and was cleverly executed. The fruit pepper had a sweet sour cranberry sauce with sweet corn inside. The bamboo shoot was fragrant with strong herbal flavors in the broth. The lotus root had an exterior of crunchy bamboo shoot chips and a lotus potato interior. The shanghaiese dumplings were flavorful. The goji berry was gelatin and sorbet with a strong ginger flavor, a good palate cleanser. Beverage service is limited, no cocktails. The tea is ceremoniously brewed at the table and kept heated. The dishes appeared promptly in order but it was a long evening and a lot of food. The meal was memorable though a times a bit bland. Come for the experience.

I was searching in the Michelin Guide for vegetarian restaurants in Shanghai and this one star location caught my eye. I went there spontaneously to have dinner and luckily they had a table available for me. I have to say that I really liked the professional service and the design and atmosphere of the three-story restaurant. I ordered their set menu with the appropriate tea accompaniment. I also ordered an additional dumpling dish as I was still hungry after the main course. I found the presentation of the dishes very appealing. And the serving of the teas in different ways also stuck in my memory. Only here and there I personally would have liked a little more flavor or spices, but I don't want to complain because overall I was very satisfied after my visit! I would return!

I thought I didn't enjoy the meal because I don't like vegetarian food, but another restaurant proved me wrong. The dishes here are.. rather boring, and forgettable. Looks exquisite, but tasted bland. While the rooms and deco were nice, service level was just not there. Left quite unsatisfied.

1st time, 80% are too standard especially the food third time going it’s almost the best veggie I’ve ever had. Try to classic menu which is only served 10 sets a day

Very tasty vegetarian food. Presentation is beautiful. The only problem I have is the service. They take away plates very fast, sometimes before we even finished the food. And they don’t provide napkins by default. The water size is too small, and I had to keep ordering extra water.

Fine vegetarian restaurant in Shanghai. There are 3 sets of menu for the party to choose, and everyone need to order the same set as for smoother servings and time. Meat free here but some menu may contains dairy products so if you are strictly vegan I recommend to tell the restaurant in advance. We choose the seasonal menu set and definitely impress. Foods come with creative dish decorations, fine ingredients, mild and good taste, and beautiful containers. We also have tea pairing and that is a great decision. Different kinds of fine tea are serve in different style for both hot and cold together with type of glass. I really like the set of tea pot and glass with about ten glasses in different shades of pink color to choose on the table before serving tea, a little impressive gimmick. For the foods, taste is really good and mild. Even you are herbivore or carnivore here is a good choice to dine in and won't disappoint. They made vegetables easy to eat and enjoy. Creatively decorated and well prepared. Experience here won't let your veg meal be the same. We went there by taxi, and the restaurant is on the side of the road with ZEN design from the outside through inside. Tables are in separated room, so private and calm. Interior is simple and fine as Zen-like. Great services and don't worry, staffs can communicate well in English.
