Yummy snacks for on the go!

I was travelling to Shefin for the lantern festival so wanted to bring some vegan snacks in case I couldn't find anything in the village. Great choice. I brought my reusable container especially and could see that the only option, otherwise, is plastic. Very tasty and various flavours of buns. My stomach is still full, hours later.

Pros: Great snacks, different flavors.

Cons: Uses plastic, no seating.

Delicious and cheap dumplings

All vegan dumpling and bun stand. The woman working told me flavors in English. Got 3 buns and 4 dumplings for 56NT. No where to sit, but pour some sauce in your bag and cross the street to the little park near Main station for a great picnic.

The King of buns!

They speak no english at all so it was hard to choose one flavour but I wanted to try each one of them (pan-fried buns & dumplings). I started to eat one on the way back but it was soooo good that I directly went back to the stall to buy some for my girlfriend even if she had told me she didn't want to try. Not so much healthy but very very tasty!

Vegan and Cheap

The first stall I went to when I arrived in Taipei. I highly recommend the chives bun and the dumplings! I even brought some home on our final day in Taiwan. They also sell frozen dumplings, I think.

Pros: Cheap, Tasty, Vegan

Cons: Oily, in plastic bag unless you refuse

Tasty little snack

The buns and dumplings are really nice and tasty, although a bit oily. I guess you can chose between approx. 8 different fillings. I particularly liked the dumpling and the bun with bamboo. The cabbage one was ok.

Pros: Good selection, Cheap, Central location

Cons: Staff doesn't speak English

Delicious and filling!

A good variety of cheap and delicious buns and gyoza. The cabbage and mustard green ones were particularly good! Definitely worth stopping by this place for a snack!

Cheap and delicious

They have limited options but their buns and dumplings are really good. The products are good and really cheap. Please note that it is a oily snack served warm.
There is no seating area though.
The couple who run the stall is nice and try to speak English.

Vegan comfort food

Serves only two things, buns and dumplings, but worth finding this little stall to give them a try. Take away and cash only.

Pros: Cheap and cheerful

Cons: No seating

Deliciously unhealthy

Great selection of dumplings and bun type things. A little oily but we love some unhealthy warm vegan food as a grab and go meal. No seating but super super cheap. The ladies always had a smile. Highly recommended as a place to grab a snack or a filling albeit not very balanced meal.

Pros: All completely vegan, Free condiments, Authentic

Best dumpling ever!

I am happy to eat them. One thing sorry is the dumpling skin (which is like bread) is too thick. Except that, everything was perfect.

Cheap dumpling shop near Taipei station

Read more in this vegan Taipei guide: https://itravelforveganfood.com/vegan-taipei-guide/

A simple shop selling affordable vegan buns and dumplings. At the time of visit, about 10 dumplings is only TW$50. The food is flavorful but quite oily. Multiple plastic bags are used for each purchase, so bring your own container if you’d like.

Pros: Vegan dumplings, Cheap

Cons: Quite oily, Lots of plastic

If you like oily food, cheap

Take exit Z6. The small shop is behind hotel Hope. It's only take-out, no seating. Very cheap. Employees nice, couldn't speak English though but it's obvious what you can get. The pot stickers cost 50 TWD and you get 10 pieces. They'll put it in a plastic bag. They could be more flavourful. In my opinion they're way too oily. If you don't mind, you'll like it.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Small selection, Very oily

Normal scrumptious buns

Your run of the mill cabbage buns. Delish, but just look around and within 300m should be another one.

Simple, fast & delicious

We are tourists that were in Taipei for just a few days. We came here 2 days in a row because we loved the buns so much. I would try 1 of every kind if you go. For a full meal without getting over stuffed I had 5 and I was good to go (that’s only 75 NT !! ). The sauce they have is also great with it - if you ask the shopkeeper she will pack it for you - very friendly and helpful. As everyone said there isn’t much place to sit around that area. There was a fresh juice shop a few metres away with 1 or 2 tables inside; we bought some juice and ate our food there. Otherwise, just grab them to go. For some authentic vegan buns, definitely worth trying.

Little stall

Was here July 2019. Saw this on happycow and gave it a try on our trip to Taipei. Here's my San Ding review. Walked there from the main train station. There' no seating you buy the food and eat while standing. The stuffed buns were delicious. The dumplings were ok.

Mustard Green bun was incredible

Ended up popping by this stall every day to pick up some of these incredible steamed buns. The Mustard green bun was the stand out bun for me, and all so cheap. Check out the photos with translations that someone else has uploaded with their review here, as this will help you point to the buns you want!

Great buns!

I grabbed a couple of buns in two different flavors to eat and run before my train departure. They were delicious! I would definitely do this repeatedly anytime I need some vegan sustenance near the station. Super cheap, as well. But I’d probably bring my own container next time to avoid having hot buns melting a plastic bag.

Pros: Many flavors to choose from, Affordable, Location

Cons: Plastic bag with hot food inside

Nice vegan snacks

The round buns are really nice! We liked them more than the dumplings. Get one of each to taste all the different flavours! The staff are really nice but not a word of English, however we managed to understand each other no problem! Definitely will be coming back!
