The Dish: Grilled Tofu Healthy Bowl

Available on: Sherpa's, Ele.me, Meituan

Guaka is inspired by American chain Chipotle, where you pick your different components for a meal and they assemble it in the bowl you want. For this tofu bowl, we added a bunch of veg to the tofu, half an egg, and a brown rice base. Multiple locations in downtown.

The Dish: Tofu Bowl

Available on: Sherpa's, Ele.me, Meituan

This store only has a single location, just behind IAPM on Shaanxi Nan Lu. They are not strictly vegetarian and do pokes and grilled meats, but we went for the fried soft tofu over black rice, with pumpkin and other veggies.

The Dish: Kyoto Quinoa Bowl Salmon

Available on: Sherpa's, Ele.me, Meituan

FitBee on Julu Lu is crazy popular, judging by the number of orders. Ele.me says it does 9,999+ in a month. I mean, you can even order a simple sliced chicken breast on the side for 13rmb. Ground-breaking advances in the field of convenience right there. We went for one of their new items, a super protein boost (42g) from salmon, edamame, an egg, and kidney beans, plus rice mixed with quinoa and broccoli. FitBee gets points for labeling each dish with the calorie count, the protein amount, and how much fat and protein the meal includes.

The Dish: Caesar High Protein Quinoa Salad

Available on: Ele.me, Meituan

Like FitBee, this hard-to-pronounce chain (... zerodegreeceedeecal?) with five stores labels most dishes with calorie counts, which they try to keep low. This high-protein salad was one of the few that they didn't label but it contained so much grilled chicken breast and beef that you couldn't see the quinoa/cranberry grain underneath.

The Dish: Grilled Salmon with Asparagus

Available on: Ele.me, Meituan

Simple and straightforward. Big portion of salmon with a side of asparagus, over multi-grain rice cooked with sweet corn.

The Dish: Chicken Roasted Pumpkin Salad

Available on: Sherpa's, Ele.me, Meituan

Sagreen is a fairly big chain that specializes in all things healthy, from salads to cereal bowls and poke. This chicken number comes with large chunks of — they say— "sous vide" chicken, mushroom and pumpkin, plus carrot, corn and broccoli.

The Dish: Sirloin Steak Kale Salad

Available on: Ele.me, Meituan

FreeTable has two stores. Among their specialties are a bunch of dishes with kale, so we went for this kale and quinoa salad with walnuts, squash, mushroom, asparagus and soft white cheese, covered in steak. Honey mustard dressing on the side had a pretty good zip to it.

The Price: 52rmb

The Dish: Chicken Wrap with Mixed Salad

Available on: Ele.me, Meituan

A better version of your normal lunch-time Subway wrap: a spinach tortilla rolled around smoked chicken breast. Side salad comes with chickpeas, sweet peas, corn and quinoa.

The Dish: Spicy Mayo Salmon Poke Bowl

Available on: Sherpa's, Ele.me, Meituan

Little Catch are the OG poke bowl store in Shanghai, even if they are now down to just one location on Yanping Lu. They have a ton of options and things to customize, from turning the rice into grains or even into salad. And that spicy mayo... it's kinda the foundation of their business.

The Price: 76rmb

The Dish: Prawn Mango Salad

Available on: Ele.me, Meituan

Not a big portion but this salad comes with three big, grilled tiger prawns and an avocado (perfectly ripe when we ordered), fresh mango slices and oranges. Salad base is a mix of both greens and kale.
