The short answer
Jaan Bai (CCT): what visitors should know first
A good lunch or dinner stop if you travel with a mixed group, as meat-eaters and vegans can sit together. Check the labels, book in the busy season, and treat it as a vegan-options place, not a vegan restaurant.

Why it matters
Why Jaan Bai (CCT) is worth your time
Mixed-diet groups are common in family travel, and a restaurant where everyone can order from the same menu removes friction. Jaan Bai's labelled plant-based dishes make it easier for vegan travellers to order without long explanations.
It is also a training restaurant, so a meal here may support hospitality training, but check the venue's own description for details before you rely on this. As with any mixed kitchen, ask how the dishes are prepared and whether shared pans or oils are used if that matters for your beliefs.

How to experience it
A vegan travel guide lists Jaan Bai as a restaurant with clearly labelled plant-based dishes and recommends the bao and the chips. It is listed with daily hours of about 11 am to 10 pm, which makes it flexible for lunch or dinner.
The restaurant also serves meat, so confirm with the staff how vegan dishes are prepared, especially if you avoid any contact with meat or fish for religious reasons. Review sites mention a tofu rice bowl and tofu sliders.
Because it is popular, reserve ahead for dinner and arrive early in the evening. Confirm that it is open on the day.
