Great flavors - Edit
I enjoyed this meal quite a lot - we got the winter melon tea, sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour potstickers, beef noodles, and dry pot cauliflower. We really enjoyed everything but the potstickers, which were not our favorite. I’d definitely stop by here again if I find myself back in Taipei!

Cool young vibe - Edit
This place was very lively on a Friday night. It’s a great place to share food. We had sausage fried rice, beef sa cha sauce noodles, and Garlic green beans. The rose caramel oat milk tea was seriously delicious! You take the drinks yourself from the fridge. We were a little confused about how much we would be charged but it was the price on the menu for the whole pitcher.

One of the Beast Meals in Taiwan – My Omni Partner Said So! - Edit
Went here on a recommendation from a NYT article and loved it. I'm vegan, my partner is not, and he said it was one of the best meals he had ever had in Taiwan! For the record, we had Shanghai Rice, Mapo Tofu and Long Green Beans (plus some plain rice). We are definitely going back next time we are visiting Taiwan. I would recommend going with a few friends, because this is definitely the kind of place where you want to order lots of dishes and share. Large selection of interesting beverages too.
Read moreP.S. I liked their (vegan) aquarium!
Update: Been back several times in July 2024, still as delicious as ever. Ordered: Mapo Tofu, Spicy Braised Tofu Skins, Nyonya Fish Curry. Taiwanese beer and black beer are also great.

Perfect for sharing! - Edit
Someone I met in Taipei took me to this restaurant and together with his girlfriend we were able to share quite a lot of dishes here. The food was amazing! I loved the vegan shrimp and the variety of flavours at this place. It may be somewhat more expensive than other places but I think it is highly worthwhile. I would advise to go here with a group of people so you can try out a variety of dishes as I think this is the best way to explore this restaurant.

Very delicious - Edit
We went there twice whilst out time in Taipei. Great place with an nice vibe.
Read moreThe menu reads like a typical Taiwanese restaurant, also mentioning stir fried beef, eggs etc but all is vegan.
As the restaurant is mostly full staff recommended to book a table ahead.

Interesting place - Edit
This is a very interesting place. They serve a variety of stir-fried dishes. Many of them try to mimic meat dishes. I'm generally not a fan of this, but everything I tried here was great. The restaurant also has a very vibrant atmosphere.

10/10! - Edit
This is superb! The price is maybe a bit more steep since you’re still sitting on little chairs but the food is amazing. Especially the shrimp pineapple balls are a must. We were with 2 persons and ordered 3 dishes and 1 bowl of white rice to share. That was sufficient for us. 10% service charge is added to the bill.

Pleasant surprise - Edit
My top discovery in Taiwan, Chao. It’s located near Sogo and nearby area is clean and hip.
Read moreAll foods at Chao are wok stirred and authentic Taiwanese style.
Me: Is everything on the menu vegan?
Staff: yes! Order away!
30 mins later, me also: gotta get some take out for later. Even my parents thought their foods are amazing.
Lots of flavours! Highly recommended!

Critical non-veggie friends were convinced - Edit
We were 2 vegetarians and 2 non‘s and were really happy with our food. It was really convenient to order by phone and see the meals online before ordering.

Top Service, atmosphere and go for the sweet & sour - Edit
Came here on a Saturday and was lucky to get a spot - but was quite late!
Read moreStaff very professional and fluent in english! Love the dining atmosphere which kind of reminded me of Korean bbq places. Cool vibe!
They will add 10% to the bill, but you order via QR code - but can make adjustments like spicy or not or garlic or not via comment section. Clean interior and free water and wifi.

Dishes are good portion size. More on the small size, but great value.
It’s around 300-320 after service charge each dish. Went for the kung pao chicken first. Chicken was great texture and taste. Love the more nugget style and not too chewy! Taste was good, but not great (definitely had better Kung Pao!)
Went back to try the sweet and sour fish and it was amazing! Loved the texture again- their soy protein is heavenly!
Very nice flavour of sauce and pairs well with capsicum
Highly recommend this restaurant for dinner or lunch #Veganuary
Love that they are fully vegan and that there’s pics next to the dish name

Wasted my time - Edit
Went there during rush hour, waited for 20mn but got completely ignored by the staff. They gave tables to many customers without reservation that arrived after me but left me there, so I ended up leaving.
Read moreThe food looks amazing though, I'll try to go again at openning time.

Really good Thai green curry - Edit
We ordered in and got the Thai green curry (full of flavor and a variety of mock meats) and green beans with omni pork (a little oily and light on the pork). Good food, but a bit on the oily side. However, it did offer some dishes I hadn't seen in other vegan restaurants in Taipei.

A must visit - Edit
We went out of our way to come here and I’m so glad we did.
Read moreThe interior is cool and relaxed, staff are really friendly and the food is amazing!
They offer mock meat as well as tofu dishes if mock meat isn’t your thing!
Our fave was definitely the sweet and sour fish!
I would gladly come by here again if I can find time during the rest of my stay.

Rare find - Edit
While there are a lot of vegetarian（素）places in Taipei, fully vegan restaurants with local food seem rather rare. Delicious vegan versions of typical Taiwanese dishes, great selection and nice fun atmosphere.

Delicious vegan take on classic Taiwanese 熱炒 (re chao) style food - Edit
The atmosphere was welcoming and had an energetic feel while still being relaxed. The servers were attentive when we needed something. The food was delicious and allowed us to enjoy a lot of the foods we haven’t been able to eat since being vegan like fried cod with green onions, shredded ginger and chili peppers. They also had a great selection of beers that were reasonably priced. Highly recommended if you are in the area, it’s conveniently located near the Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT station.
Read morePros: Delicious Vegan version of classic rechao fare., Convenient location if using public transportation, Good beer selection

Great food and a great sense of humor! - Edit
When I saw the big aquarium in the front I thought I was in the wrong place and was about to leave, but when I took a closer look I realized all the fish were toys 😂
Read moreThis place serves a wide variety of Taiwanese dishes, mostly based on mock meats. I had the sliced "pork" with garlic sauce and it was delicious.
You scan a QR code and place your order online. Service is very fast.
Pros: A chance to try authentic Taiwanese cuisine , Lively atmosphere , Low prices

Good busy vegan restaurant - Edit
Made reservations and arrived early, the server was ok with seating us early. It's a big restaurant, and the atmosphere was lively but not crazy noisy. We had to scan a QR code to order, which was fine, but we had a few questions about the system we had to go up to the counter to ask about.
Read moreWe ordered the stinky tofu hiding in the bushes (or whatever it's called), fried "oysters", and twice cooked "pork". They were all really tasty, we both especially liked the pork. We had also ordered the Hakka stir fry but we were already full from the other dishes - portions are a good size. So we took the story home. Prices were OK when compared to other vegan restaurants we had been to recently in Taipei, especially for the portion size.
Pros: Good vegan food, Bigger portions
Cons: Maybe describe better what the dishes are on the m
