Wide choice, fresh and delicious food

Very good food, inexpensive (large meal would cost 150 dollars). Lots of vegetables. Veggie soup offered.
Wide choice! Carton and paper plates is a plus!

Pros: Many vegan options, Fresh food, many vegetables, Inexpensive

Cons: Non English speaking staff, but, well, it's okay, Somes dishes are fried

huge number of choices available

I went when I was in Taipei for a trip. The sign says 三來素食館Three to vegetarian restaurant
素食餐廳, and their website does too, so I thought that was its name.

It's a little hard to find if you don't read kanji characters as there were a lot of clothes hanging in front of the shop. I guess a clothes vendor uses the sidewalk for their business. So it looks like a clothing shop from across the street but once you are close, you see it's definitely a buffet restaurant.

There was a huge buffet and the shop was very basic, but clean when I went. They were also selling soup and rice at the register, and I felt judged by the staff lady when I said I didn't want rice, so I ended up ordering some I couldn't finish...

Would recommend.

Pros: Good selection

Cons: A bit hard to find

meh

So many way better buffets in Taipei. This place was kinda gross and sticky like many of them are, but the food wasn't good enough or fresh enough to make up for it

Delicious Vegetarian Buffet

I have been here many times during 2 different trips to Taipei. It's nice to be able to do takeaway or dine in for lunch or dinner. I love the assortment of different vegetables and dishes to try with the freedom of knowing it's all vegetarian. Since I don't speak Mandarin, I'm not sure if the buffet is vegan.
There were some dishes I didn't like due to texture preference but if you take a bit of everything it's not a big deal and then you know for next time 😊.
I usually fill up quite a large plate for around 140 TWD so it's very reasonably priced for all the veggies.
Definitely worth checking out

Pros: Delicious, Good value, Taiwanese food

Cons: English is limited

Food is fine, cleanliness not so good.

I've eaten here a few times. It's okay for a quick cheap meal but last time I visited there were 3 rat droppings on the table where I and other customers were eating. I get that it's by a market and rats and cockroaches are always a problem, but I was definitely grossed out.

Awesome!

A huge range of food for reasonable money. And most of that is delicious. It depends what preferences you have. But it's definitely worth to visit.

Pros: lots of vegan and vegetarian options, sweets, vegetables, fake meat, lot of tofu options

Spoiled for choices!

Great varieties to choose from. They do not add strong seasonings to the cooking. Do not feel thirsty after eating. Free soup of the day. Pay by the weight of your food. Their congee is nice but serving is a bit small, estimate 250ml size.

Pros: plenty of seats at second floor

Great buffet

This small restaurant offers an enormous selection of vegetarian food, not all vegan. It was difficult to decide what to try - sampling a little of each would have been too much. What we did take was excellent. It is good value for the money. White rice is extra, not by weight. Seating is at communal tables.It can be crowded. The Chinese name of the restaurant is 三來素食館.

Veggie Buffet & Take away

We arrived at around 7:30pm, the buffet was already closed but you can buy some leftovers for take away until 8:00pm. We had rice, tofu, seaweed, salad, bamboo. It was okay, not very special. Someone should go there before they are closing!
