Though the buffet is attempted to give huge variety,the sauted way of cooking without any Real variety in taste makes the taste FLAT of most vegetables.

Everything tastes similar.(except Mushrooms taste mushroom and spinach taste spinach surely).

Just boiled potatos are kept, un peeled.You need to pick up rice from rice cookers.(The rice was cold and noone was making attempt of heating it up or making it stay heated).

We were there at 1pm and more than half the food was cold and many pans there wasnt any food).

There were some noodles, the staff didnt attempt to refill it.After we complained they started to fill some of the food.

Expect typical unfriendly service as in many so so restaurants in Beijing.They will listen but will act as they would like.

There wasnt a single foreigner ,all chinese.(altogther 5 others).

May be the manager knew we wont like the buffet and was forcing us to eat Ala-carte,knowing that perhaps foreigners wont like it.

We ate some food there since we had already paid, we straight headed to Pizza Bouna to fill up the balance part of our bellies.

Solid buffet for RMB39

Walking around Solana it would be hard to miss Veg-On as there are plenty of signs, making it less 'hidden' than when the previous reviewer visited. At first we went into the actual restaurant/cafe but were shown the buffet by the waitstaff. (It's around the corner from the actual restaurant.) Note that there is no English menu in the restaurant but the menu does have large pictures, and if you do read Chinese, a lot of info on each dish.

The buffet is only RMB39 so I had my doubts but it's actually very good, there's a big choice of hot dishes (all Chinese), little bread and cake-like items and you can also have hotpot at your table (albeit very small!). Desserts are only fresh fruit. The drinks were a bit disappointing, only various teas or water with fruit in it, but there are a lot of flavours to choose from. You can eat and drink as much as you like.

The decor was nothing special in either area. Service was prompt around the buffet but a bit slow in the actual restaurant.

If you're looking for somewhere to fill up on standard Chinese dishes of reasonable quality at a great price, I'd definitely recommend the buffet here.

Tastier than expected given the unappealing food-court layout

Veg-On is a strangely designed restaurant that is spread out over a tiny food court hidden in a corner of Solana. They feature a vegetarian buffet that I'd recommend skipping in favor of the ala carte menu -- the eggplant with basil is excellent, as are the veggie spring rolls and the vegetarian spicy fish.

Extra bonus -- because they share central seating with the next door Greek Delicacy restaurant (http://www.thebeijinger.com/directory/Greek-Delicacy) you can eat a veggie meal side-by-side with your carnivorous friends who can order a big ol' chunk o' meat next door.
