Clean and healthy

It's near Taipei Main Station. It's in a food court so there are plenty of seats. It's buffet style. There's a wide variety of items, and you can choose your own combination of stir-fried vegetables, dessert, white or brown rice, and soup. I visited here three times during my stay in Taipei.

Many choices of food

The shop has many choices of vegetarian food to choose with an inexpensive price. Good location to find because it’s located inside Q Square (Taipei main station)

Tasty, good variety

Wide variety of tasty dishes. Dishes were not labelled which made it hard to discern some between mock meat and vegetable.

Would recommend if transiting at Taipei Main Station or Taipei Bus Station.

Pros: Buffet style, Food court

Cons: Food court

Convenient and easy

This was my go to as least once a day on my trip to Taipei. On level B3 of Q Square Mall, easily accessible underground from Taipei Main Station. Just grab a plate and pair of tongs and pick what looks good from the buffet. A very full plate of food ranged from 150-190 NTD, with a side of white or germ rice for 7-8 NTD. You can dine in at the mall food court or take away. Has many tofu protein options, vegetables, fried spring rolls, and desserts such as mochi. Watch out for the stinky tofu.. you’ll smell it. Friendly cashiers speak English. Card or cash accepted.

Pros: Inexpensive , Lots of options , Convenient location

Cons: None

A favourite!

Probably one of my favourite places to eat in Taipei. It's a buffet with so many different options. It can get tiresome having to figure out what is in certain foods as a veggie, so having so many options to try is such a treat. Countless different types of tofu, vegetables, mushrooms, you name it!

Took me ages to find (located on floor B3 under Taipei bus station) but it was certainly worth it. It's in a food court where lots of people share tables, which is very hectic but the food more than makes up for it.

I paid about 120NTD for a plate so very cheap

A plethora of vegan options

This is definitely one of the best buffets I went to in Taipei. The choice was HUGE. I used Google translate to ask if anything had egg or milk and one lady hurriedly said no. Just to be safe though, I didn't touch some of the desserts that looked milky, but there was no obvious egg dishes in the savory section like other buffets I've been to here.

The price for the 2 of us was the most we've paid for a buffet here which I guess was because we picked heavier items like tofu and rolls and piled our plates. It was 360 with no rice.

The food is very tasty, not too oily, and has a large variety to choose from -- including some really interesting looking fried items, rolls, dumplings, and various tofu products. Go!

Great food close to Main Station

This was our first meal on arriving at Taipei Main Station, and it was really good. I piled two plates high and shared a large bowl of rice with my son. The total was around 250 NTD and it was worth it. Despite it being 8pm there was still plenty of choice. The spring rolls were good but he dumplings not so much. Overall, decent value for money.


We've been back twice since the original review. Consistently good food and very reasonable price given the location.

Affordable and delicious!!

It's a full buffet and you pay by the weight you have on your plate (which is very affordable!). It was delicious and I definitely stuffed my face !

Affordable, many options, veryyy tasty

Arrived at 8:30pm and they still had lots of dishes left. No rice but they had noodles. It was cheap but very tasty

Edit: I ended up coming back here again and again, and the food was delicious and fresh each time. Highly recommend!

Pros: Delicious, Fast, Cheap

Vegetarian buffet with lots of options

Lots of tofu options here including the stinky tofu that I’ve wanted to try but not commit to a whole order. Some simple veggie dishes too which I’ve been craving. Would definitely return if I wasn’t just passing through. Very good!

See what you eat

This restaurant is on the B3 floor of the mall next to Taipei main station and has a very good selection. It is self service and you pay by weight, either a box (for take out) or a plate if you're eating in.

There are no labels for the food, but the staff are very friendly and will help you to choose vegan only options. However, everything is vegetarian.

Pros: Very good selection of vegan options, Cheap (pay by the weight)

Lot of options and convenience

There are a lot of options for you to pick from, but for me personally the food was quite cold (temperature). You pay for how much food you pick (by weight)

I took some photos but later they told me not to, not sure why.

Pros: Lots of options, Located in the mall, Clean

Cons: Food was cold

If I could give 6 stars i would.

If I could give 6 stars i would. Truly the best. It is a self service buffet and you pay by weight. See my pictures. They have everything. I had a full plate and it came to 208TWD. I would think many of the options are vegan and very easy to spot as everything is on separate trays with just one thing in each. For example I would think the trays of vegetables are just that. They are friendly and speak English so easy to check. They have a wide variety of mushrooms, vegetables and tofu. They also do takeaway. They are downstairs on floor B3. UPDATE - I have come back here many times during my stay in Taipei as the metro system is so fast I can easily travel here from anywhere in the city for my evening meal. When I am eating alone I prefer eat here and choose all the healthy options rather than go to a restaurant I don't know. I sometimes get a takeaway box to take back to my hotel.

Pros: All veggie and probably many vegan good price

Cons: None for me

Easy option and good food

I ate here three times during my stay in Taipei because it is so conveniently located between the main station and the hostel where I was staying.
The food selection is large, all the food items I tried were good and the lady at the counter speaks enough English.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: No water or drinks available
