Underwhelming

The menu here sounds so promising but I left feeling that it was a very lightweight meal for the price. I have tried the BLMT Sandwich and the Macrobiotic Bowl. The sandwich was tasty but just a small standard sliced bread size without much fillings, it just didn't seem worth the 160NT. The Bowl was 260NT and it was ok but only had 3 triangles of tempeh.. just a bit insubstantial for the price tag, in my opinion.

Pros: Nice music and peaceful, spacious venue, Interesting selection

Cons: Overpriced for small serves, Staff are disinterested

Nice burgers and smoothies, cheerful interior

Tried one of the burgers. Was very good. Apparently there was an option to swap the patty for a Beyond burger patty, but we were unlucky and they were out of the Beyond patty - not that that mattered, as the burgers we got were fabulous anyway.

Smoothies we got, I can't remember exactly which one it was but if I remember correctly it had açai and goji berries in it. Very nice.

Returned a few days later and tried their avocado sandwich and a green smoothie, also very nice.

A little on the pricey end, and a little cramped when busy, but I would come back here for sure. Nice place to relax (as long as there aren't too many people!) The second time I went there were a lot of people and I barely managed to get a seat. Pretty cramped as the chairs are placed close together. But the first time we went we were early and basically the only customers in the shop and it was very nice and chill.

Pros: yummy burgers and smoothies, all vegan menu, bright cheerful space

Cons: wee bit pricey

Cashew Mozzarella 🤤

Must try are the sandwiches that come with cashew mozzarella! So good!

Friendly staff, that speaks good English. English menu and very nice location.

Be aware that the other Ooh Cha Cha had a slightly different menu when I’ve been there (no sandwiches, different smoothies etc.). I’ve preferred the choices in this location.

Incroyable !

Le restaurant est facile à trouver, le personnel est super agréable, et la nourriture... Parlons-en. Je sais qu'à chacun ses gouts et ses couleurs, mais nous avons A-DO-RE !! Il y a un menu en anglais disponible et ils sont quelques uns à parler anglais aussi. Ils privilegient le zero-dechet aussi, ce que je trouve cool😄
En photo, le Burger Ricotta, le sandwich Curry Lentil et le sandwich Pesto Mozarella ; ainsi que deux smoothies, le Body Boost et le Green Standard :)

Pros: Possibilité d'acheter du fromage vegan sur place, Vegan, delicieux , Peu cher (20€ pour deux)

Cons: Ferme assez tot

Ooh Yeah The Original

After visiting Ooh Cha Cha Tech we wanted to try the original store which was packed, always a good sign for a vegan joint. My girlfriend had some kind of tofu salad bowl while I had a burger, both were really great, the food here has a lot of care and attention to it. We both had a smoothie each which were really tasty. The interior was cute being in a corner building with glass walls, the staff were friendly and helpful.

Pros: All vegan., Nice looking place

Incredible! One of my faves of all time!

Healthy, filling and extremely tasty! Slightly more expensive than typical local fare but not unfairly priced at all. Really great portion sizes, and I’ve never had a bad meal there! Both locations are amazing! The other location is slightly bigger and had more options, but I believe that some items were exclusive to this location. A MUST GO AS A VEGETARIAN AND VEGAN IN TAIPEI :)! My meat-eating BF was also obsessed with this place

overrated

I arrived with high expectations and have to admit that I was a bit disappointed. Place is easy to find, nice atmosphere and has Wifi.

But: The food is expensive. I paid 220 Dollar for a very small portion of Ceasar salad, literally consisting of lettuce, a few chickpeas and a bit of tempeh. Had to order a Lentil patty afterwards (90 Dollar) and still wasn't full at all. The taste of the food is good, but not worth the price you pay (at least the dishes I tried) and there are better places in Taipei for sure.

But if you're in the area it might be worth to give it a shot, the cakes looked amazing!

Pros: all vegan, healthy food

Cons: expensive, small portions

The taste is okay

The taste is alright for the burgers and smoothie but is not the best, a bit expensive when it’s located in Taipei.

The smoothie is a bit too runny but overall the taste is alright. The raw cake tho, I tried the raw cake and I do not recommend it, hard and tasteless

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Expensive , Air circulation is bad, your clothes will stink

Delicious western food

Asian food is amazing, but sometimes you just need that burger and this place hit the spot!! The burger was delicious and freshly made, the chips were hearty and served with some kind of vegan mayo

Pros: All vegan, Amazing burgers, Friendly staff

Cons: The vegan mayo wasnt great

Delicious food and reasonable prices

I got the BLMT sandwich and a pumpkin pie. The sandwich was delicious and filling - loved it! The pumpkin pie is small but super rich. Decent amount of seating available, quick and friendly service. Highly recommend it for when you’re in need of a Western food fix!

Pros: All vegan, Reasonably priced mains

Like the vibe but not the food.

Carrot Lox on Foccacia, Baked Donut, and a Mocha Latte — just alright on flavor. Produce is sparse. Willing to pay for unique dishes, did not find that here.

Carrot Lox is an awesome concept though. Carrot is thinly sliced and brined, similar to treatment on a salmon. But, the focaccia was plain, the “cheese” spread quite sparse, so overall each bite is mostly plain starch and not enough of the other flavors.

Baked donut was dry. I think I had an old one. Raspberry frosting also sparse. Again, each bite mostly dry cake. Did not finish.

Mocha latte, too chalky from cocoa powder. Perhaps I am spoiled from hot cacaos made from melted bars :3?

It is a nice atmosphere though that I enjoyed reading a book in! And, alternative events advertised in the neighborhood.

Pros: nice vibe

Cons: old food, sparse produce, expensive for food quality

Great flavours!!

My favourite from our Taipei visit. Good value and great taste!

We had the coconut lemongrass tempeh curry which comes with broccoli and tricolour quinoa - it's really filling so only order this one if you're hungry! Nutritious and tasty.

Highly recommend their brunch plate - the tofu scramble was delicious with great flavours from the herbs and spices and egg like texture; tempeh bacon so good; cauliflower almond ricotta so good... nothing not to love about this dish.

Shared the raw vegan matcha cream cake - so light and creamy with amazing crunchy base, and pretty dusting of matcha powder.

Delicious latte - I double checked the menu and saw it was made with a blend of grain and coconut milk which gave it a unique flavour. My boyfriend had the pink dream smoothie which he finished pretty fast.

Pros: Good value considering portion size and ingredient, Great taste for everything we were able to try, Nutritious

Poor service

My boyfriend and I eagerly attended Ooh cha cha following great reviews. Easy to find and really close to Guting metro station. Lots of options including sandwiches, salads, burgers, bowls and smoothies. We tried a couple of the burgers and smoothies which were ok but nothing exceptional and were quiet pricey for what they were. Saying that we were happy to return a second time the next night, just to get an easy dose of some relatively healthy veggie food. The one big downfall was the really poor service, particularly from the guy taking the order (unfortunately the same guy on both nights); he was rude and totally disinterested and seemed to not be listening when ordering (which ended up being the case as he missed items). We would’ve kinda understood if it was a one off event (hey everyone has a bad day) but both nights he was the same- rude and totally disinterested. Disappointing.

Pros: Nice space, Lots of options

Cons: Poor service , Pricey

Okay but not very impressive food ~

Ooh Cha Cha is using fresh and unprocessed ingredients which is something I always look for! The food is alright, it's just good but nothing too special about it neither. Service is alright, place is a little small and can be crowded sometimes.

Nice

My friend and I tried the salad bowls and green smoothies for breakfast. The tempeh is well seasoned. They do label what is fluten-free and allium-free, and also sell vegan beers.

Price is a bit steep tho.

Casual tiny but unimpressive cafe

I was very excited to go try out Ooh Cha Cha after reading the reviews! However, be sure to get to the restaurant early enough so that they don't run out of their patties or cakes or other products. I had to go back twice because I wanted to try their burgers but the first time I went was too late in the night that they had already sold all of their patties. Instead, I ordered their wild mushroom bowl. However, I did manage to go back earlier the next couple of days to try their bean and pesto mushroom burger.

Both the mushroom bowl and their pesto mushroom burger was just mediocre unfortunately. The mushroom bowl was just a cold plate of food that they put together with the prepared selection at their station, nothing special at all. I was really looking forward to the burger but it too was unimpressive.

Rather than a hot crispy bun, the bread that hugged my burger felt like just any other mass-purchased whole grain bun that came straight out of the bag and onto my plate. It tasted fine, just nothing special with the bread. I believe the bread makes up a huge part of an unforgettable burger!

The filling was okay too... mushrooms and adzuki bean patty didn't feel like there was any flavor. The pesto was nice but mild and scant. The burger was served with a side of homemade fries which were cold and (surprise surprise) bland. The amount of pesto was meager, so the burger feel was a bit dry since the dry bread couldn't soak up any saucy sauce. And your only companion to the plate were a sad cold dry portion of fries? No thanks. I went to eat the burger at 5:30pm to avoid running out of food and still got disappointed!

The portion size was modest on the smaller size but still filling enough that it's fine, especially if you decide to pair you meal with a smoothie and/or dessert.

The smoothies I've ordered here were fine, not too watery which I appreciated. They serve your drink with a stainless steel straw which I loved! I ordered their mocha raw cake and matcha ginger raw cake. The mocha was soooo yummy with the velvety light chocolatey taste. I would skip the matcha ginger one though..

Overall, the pricing is all right but the flavors were just so desperately lacking. The space is limited. Make sure to go early to have full menu options. Maybe I just didn't order the right things, especially considering all the raving reviews everyone else have rated this place. Hopefully the flavors work towards your favor if you decide to try out this place!

Wonderful little cafe that serves quite a variety!

Had a (eggplant) bacon cheese burger and it was delightful, albeit a little bit too salty for my liking (the patty itself and the "bacon") the rest of the burger was fantastic 😌 the smoothie was really good too!! Loved the interior and I was lucky enough to get a seat looking out of the window so it was really nice looking outside while enjoying my meal :) everything's vegan which is always great! Might get a bit crowded because it's really tiny so do go early to get a seat!

Trendy Vegan Spot

Got to a meet some lovely like minded people here, which makes it the best spot in my memory - but I'll try to make this review objective.

My friend and I order a burger & a bowl. The burger was delicious, but the bowl, although healthy & trendy/pretty, was not very tasty. If I went a second time I'd prolly just order 2 burgers haha. The staff didn't seem to speak english but was still helpful, friendly & they had english menus so it was all good. Also, the architecture was really nice, having a glass wall on one side so you can see outside. They also had wifi-always a plus.

Amazing vegan food!

Comparing to other healthy vegan places in Taipei, they got more reasonable and affordable prices. The sandwiches are great and so do the dessert!!! My mom loves their raw cake a lot even though she's not vegan.

Pros: Organic, Tasty, reasonable prices

Cons: The space is not so big
