Extra special veggie buffet - Edit
Food like all of the vegetarian cold buffets in Taiwan, huge variety of tofu, vegetables, and faux meats. They always seem to keep the food cold which is not bad on a hot day and must help keep the costs down. You can eat a full meal for less than 100 ntd!
Read moreThis buffet is a little more special for travellers since a couple of the workers speak a fair amount of English and they might ask you to write your reasons for being vegan so they can post on the wall or in their scrapbook to show locals and anyone who cares to read.

Very nice and divers - Edit
We arrived around 10 am and there was a lot of variety to choose. Everything looked fresh and clean. The food was cheap and tasteful. The woman who helped us was friendly and spoke English. She asked us to write a note about why we became vegetarian. She already had a whole collection of stories.

Generally good, but oily - Edit
We went on a weekday evening and the food is generally good but there wasn’t much left anymore. The items we had were sometimes a bit too oily for our taste. But still yummy.

Good, consistent spot - Edit
Went a couple times for dinner and was very satisfied both times. The woman running it is extremely friendly and was accommodating to my limited mandarin. I attached some photos of the front so it’s easier to find as it has no English signage out front.

Really good A la carte - Edit
Went at around 5:45pm. Most of the buffet items were finished however a la carte menu was still going. Order hot and sour noodle soup and it was really delicious. Big portion and very filling with lots of ingredients. Definitely recommend if visiting Chiayi.
Read morePros: Great Hot and Sour noodle soup.
Cons: Buffet items seem to sell out quick

Nice steamed dumplings and a good veggie buffet - Edit
We went to this place about 13:30pm and some food options at the buffet were already gone or nearly empty. But the food we chose was quite good and cheap (pay by weight). I would really recommend the steamed veggie dumplings. Tomorrow morning we will go again to this place and take some dumplings with us to Alishan. (In addition it is to mention that we saw a rat running around the shop but however it was a quite clean food place)
Read morePros: good buffet variety , vegan options, menu translated in english
Cons: Rat inside the restaurant, food was a little bit too salty/oily

Good veggie buffet - Edit
Not sure if it's the times that I went (45 mins before close and 1 hour after opening) but there really wasn't much on offer (maybe 8 dishes). What I did have was nice, in particular it was nice to have warm brown rice with my meal and the tofu was really good, if a bit salty. In the morning dishes didn't taste that fresh, i would've liked to see some more new options, but maybe at 8am I was too early.
Read morePros: Easy to find- very close to the train station , Nice staff and reasonable price , Long opening hours
Cons: Not much choice, In the morning dishes didnt seem very fresh

Convenient location - Edit
We didn't got to explore Chiayi much as most of our day was spent in Alishan so to have some vegan food options by the station was very convenient.
Read moreThe staff spoke no English but was very kind and attentive and went out of their way to accommodate us.
Nice place also to grab few buns for your day trip up in Alishan.

Great Place for the quick grab - Edit
We eat here twice. Once after almost all premade food was gone we ordered some soup and rice dish and it was very delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The second time we take out from the buffet. It was a bit late and we eat the food after it was cold. I wasn't that good any more. But this is still a great place to have some food (for on the way).
Read morePros: Near the train station, Nice staff, Great to order food
Cons: If you come late, the buffet is gone.

Friendly staff, good range of tasty food - Edit
We visited for dinner and breakfast during our stay in Chiayi. The staff were happy to help and one younger lady spoke great English. If you want food to be hot go early. (They open at 630am!) It was quiet when we went and the atmosphere was relaxing.
Read morePros: Good range of dishes, Tasty, Friendly and some English
Cons: Food can be cold in slow periods

Only one vegan place - Edit
Without taxi, it's the only one place you can reach by foot from the central train station. Nice staff, good and cheap food. Open every day, all the day !
