• Awesome!

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. Then 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.
