Expensive mediocrity - Edit
This vegetarian restaurant has a number of vegan options, but if you’re looking for authentic tasting Vietnamese veg food, you won’t find it here. (NB: I am Vietnamese.)
Read moreThe waitstaff was lovely and helpful, the ambiance was nice, but the food was expensive and nothing like veg food you’d find in Vietnam.
We tried a number of dishes and the only ones we liked were the fried oyster mushrooms, the lemongrass seitan, and the tamarind juice (though overly sweet). Unfortunately, the banh mi, banh xeo, vegan fish sauce, and egg(less)rolls were disappointing. I didn’t try them but my husband really disliked the fried tofu skins.

Elegant Vegan Vietnamese Dining in Taichung - Edit
Chay Viet is a relatively new and much-loved addition to Taichung's restaurant scene. The modern and serene restaurant offers a wide range of traditional Vietnamese dishes, including appetizers, salads, soups and entrees, including curries. Dishes are beautifully prepared and delicious; service is efficient and friendly. Extensive alcohol list. Free parking.
