Vegetarian menus beside Yonghe Temple

King’s Joy is a vegetarian restaurant at 2 Wudaoying Hutong in Dongcheng, Beijing, led by chef Gary Yin, and holds two Michelin stars in the MICHELIN Guide Beijing 2026.

It occupies a historic courtyard house beside Yonghe Temple, with a muted decor inspired by Zen aesthetics. Since opening more than ten years ago, the kitchen has relied on simple methods such as steaming, slow-cooking and sautéing to bring out the natural flavours of its ingredients. Three lacto-ovo vegetarian menus run to more than ten courses each, and all can be made vegan on request.
