Cute sushi place - Edit
I’m not a (veg) sushi expert, but given that it’s all veg sushi place with very very clear labeling (fellow vegans, go for the green plates!) it has won my heart. I always have a great time eating here, fun place to come with friends occasionally to try something cool that you probably won’t get at your next door veggie place.
Read morePros: Very clear labeling , Lots of options (yes, including vegan options) , Not expensive as a sushi place

Clear vegan labeling, fun concept - Edit
I've had mind-blowing vegan sushi. This is not that. I ate here for the novelty, and that is what I got. Some are mediocre, some are good. Nothing is really stellar. But, I'd still recommend it for the fun. Go with friends so you can try more plates before you get full. Vegan items are clearly labeled by green color coded plate. Really though, I think they could easily veganize 95% of the non vegan items and I wonder why not? Note that some of the cold drinks come out in single use plastic with plastic straws. Remember to ask to get it in your own container or their reusable cups upon ordering. Honey might be used in some drinks. Please inquire.
Read morePros: Good price., Clear labeling, Plenty of options for each category
Cons: Single use plastic, Flavor really is not that great.

Good vegan sushi - Edit
Clear markings on vegan food. Some types are better than others, but worth a visit and you only pay $32 per dish!

Decent as a last resort - Edit
Really wanted to like this place, but left feeling disappointed. Most of the vegan dishes were very salty or oily. Nothing really particularly tasty. The food is actually more like Taiwanese food than Japanese. The “fish egg” sushi was interesting though.

Conveyor Belt Veg Sushi - Edit
Be sure to try the "Fish Egg Warship Sushi". It looks like real fish eggs. It tastes even more like fish eggs because it has the fishy smell! It is actually made of konnyaku, the outer layer is made of seaweed, the color is made with spices (but not spicy). Although not everyone likes the fishy smell, it is still worthwhile to try and appreciate the handwork!

Very interesting - Edit
This place is so cool! We don’t have anything like this in Australia so I couldn’t relate to the below reviews. Found everything a little too sweet but that just appears to be Taiwan! No actual sushi rolls which was weird. Fav was the green papaya in passionfruit.

Cute, but I've had better - Edit
It was fun to be in an all-veg sushi restaurant with the conveyor belt. However, the food was only ok. In a less veg-friendly city I might rate this higher, but this will not satisfy real sushi lovers.

good food, super easy system to tell if it's vegan or not - Edit
$32 per plate. Portions are small and took 9 plates to fill this guy up. Would rate this probably $$ for Taipei not just $. Fun experience though!
Read moreUpdate: got pretty sick after eating here. Not worth the risk for me to return. Tasty, but not work the risk for me.

Not bad - Edit
Not bad, not a fully vegan restaurant but dishes are labelled well - see pic uploaded. Good service, free refill of tea/plain water, affordable price.

Such a fan - Edit
Loved this place!!! Okay, some of the sushi imitations aren't the most perfect match, but I can't think of a better way to do sushi while vegan than this place. Serves egg and dairy in some dishes, but labels accordingly. Not expensive, same rate as comparable non-vegan places, 30NT per plate.

A Happy Accident - Edit
I accidentally stumbled upon this place after getting lost trying to find a temple and a few other places. I gave up on even trying to find a vegan restaurant, and there this place was to save the day.
Read moreThe food wasn't spectacular, but it was quite good and inexpensive, and there was a nice variety of green plates (vegan options) to choose from. I ate about 6 plates of food and some tea, and it was not bad at all. The sushi options were very creative and I had never tasted anything like them before. Would definitely try this place again.
Pros: Good vegan options, inexpensive
Cons: None

just ok - Edit
There are lots of options (green plates for vegans) but most are just ok. There are better places to go for vegan food in taipei.

love the idea - Edit
nothing blew me away but it was decent food and I love the idea, veg sushi needs to be a thing! never had spicy edamame, it was great. some of the best plates were hot from the back, a picture of them is rotating around the belt and you add your table number to order one.

not very tasteful - Edit
Even though, the concept is nice and the place is fun, the sushis were quite deceiving. No flavor and not very fresh.

Awesome! - Edit
Quite honestly, when you think about it, vegetarian/vegan sushi isn't very complicated. Sushi has always been my downfall and when I finally made the complete switch to becoming a strict vegetarian, I still think of those sushi-eating days fondly.
Read moreThen I heard about this place!
The place is very easy to find. For details, I found a really nice post about it: http://vegantaiwan.blogspot.tw/2014/08/shuiwen-kaiten-sushi-restaurant.html . The price is 30 NTD per plate, any plate, so around 1 USD. It ranges from sashimi to nigiri and even a handroll and some fusion options like stuffed and fried stinky tofu with pickled cabbage. Everything is vegetarian and the plates are color-coded to let you know what kind - vegan all the way to lacto-ovo vegetarian.
I love the place because it covers that little niche I had been missing, but it's probably not a place to go regularly - the food would just blend together. However, I have to say that some of their fake meats do resemble the real thing (raw "salmon", anyone?), which I applaud them for -- how do they do it?? It's probably konjac-based. It's a novelty place and I enjoyed it... one of those fun things to do. I also applaud them for their creativity - if only we have one back in the States!
I would definitely recommend it. Even my husband who is not really fond of sushi thought it would be a nice place to take people for the first time. I mean, who wouldn't like food to travel to you by conveyor belt?
By the time we left, we finished 17 plates and there was a steady flow of traffic. Looking around, two Buddhist monks had joined us!
NOTE: there is a bar for the conveyor belt, but towards the back, there are also booths for larger parties that might sit a maximum of 4 people or so. The actual restaurant size is LARGE.
Pros: quiet and clean, reasonably prices, fun!
