GODLY is Shanghai's OG vegetarian restaurant -- it's been around since 1922. The famous writer Lu Xun visited this place in the early '20s. As the place and concept grew in popularity, Godly expanded into chain restaurants and veggie snack specialty stores. Strong, strong flavors here (perhaps overwhelming for some), and a lot of mock meat. Go for the kao fu with mu'er, or the veggie crab spawn, vegetarian chicken, or the veggie moon cake. Nice spot. Hot dishes cost around 35rmb each. While the Wukang/Wuyuan Lu branch is in a cozy part of Xuhui, the branch on Nanjing Lu is still the most popular one, with traditional style and rosewood furniture.
