Cheap and flavoursome

Can never resist grabbing a few buns when I'm in the area, great for eating on the go! Already tasty but can pour some soy sauce into the bag for added flavour. Dumplings are also good.

Hot and satisfying

I tried six different types of stuffing - all good. Can’t say I loved one type more than the others. They stayed nice and hot for quite a while. Six cost only NTD 81. Cheap, easy, filling meal on the run.

Pros: fresh and hot, all vegan

Keep coming back!

Had to try the steam panfried buns, I’ve seen up to 5 different fillings. There is no seating, but the buns are amazing

Fantastic dumplings

We found this place pretty easily thanks to the photo someone posted on here with the light green signage.

The dumplings were clearly labelled, though there was one which seemed to say 'cherry pea' or something like that, which we were too scared to order. We went across the board with the rest though: pumpkin, cabbage and bamboo shoots, at 15 dollars each.

Each of the dumplings was filled with a glass noodle and vegetable mixture to accompany the stated ingredient. I think the cabbage was actually my favourite, which I wouldn't have predicted beforehand. They were all great though!

There was no seating outside but we crossed the main road towards the station and found a few benches under some tree cover which was a nice lunch spot.

We're trying to find a way to come back here when we return to Taipei before flying out of Taiwan. Hopefully that tells you how much we enjoyed them.

Pros: Lovely flavour, Good value

Nice, cheap pan-fried buns

This is a little shop selling pan-fried buns and dumplings with veggie fillings. It opens early. They have 3 or 4 kinds on offer each day. There is no English menu but the staff speaks a little English.

I've been here several times and most of the buns and dumplings are very good (if a little doughy and oily), though one one occasion I ended up with an absolutely foul one that tasted so bad I had to spit out. Not sure what the deal was there, but on the whole I'd still recommend giving this place a shot.

Nice Snack!

It's a really yummy snack especially for the prices, taste is on the lighter side but there's soy sauce at the side.

Yummy snacks for on the go!

I was travelling to Shefin for the lantern festival so wanted to bring some vegan snacks in case I couldn't find anything in the village. Great choice. I brought my reusable container especially and could see that the only option, otherwise, is plastic. Very tasty and various flavours of buns. My stomach is still full, hours later.

Pros: Great snacks, different flavors.

Cons: Uses plastic, no seating.

Used my reusable container for my goodies. They use plastic otherwise. at Shàng Dǐng HuángJiā 上頂皇家 - Main Station in Taipei

Delicious and cheap dumplings

All vegan dumpling and bun stand. The woman working told me flavors in English. Got 3 buns and 4 dumplings for 56NT. No where to sit, but pour some sauce in your bag and cross the street to the little park near Main station for a great picnic.

The King of buns!

They speak no english at all so it was hard to choose one flavour but I wanted to try each one of them (pan-fried buns & dumplings). I started to eat one on the way back but it was soooo good that I directly went back to the stall to buy some for my girlfriend even if she had told me she didn't want to try. Not so much healthy but very very tasty!

The first stall I went to when I arrived in Taipei. I highly recommend the chives bun and the dumplings! I even brought some home on our final day in Taiwan. They also sell frozen dumplings, I think.

Pros: Cheap, Tasty, Vegan

Cons: Oily, in plastic bag unless you refuse

Tasty little snack

The buns and dumplings are really nice and tasty, although a bit oily. I guess you can chose between approx. 8 different fillings. I particularly liked the dumpling and the bun with bamboo. The cabbage one was ok.

Pros: Good selection, Cheap, Central location

Cons: Staff doesn't speak English

They have limited options but their buns and dumplings are really good. The products are good and really cheap. Please note that it is a oily snack served warm.
There is no seating area though.
The couple who run the stall is nice and try to speak English.

Serves only two things, buns and dumplings, but worth finding this little stall to give them a try. Take away and cash only.

Pros: Cheap and cheerful

Deliciously unhealthy

Great selection of dumplings and bun type things. A little oily but we love some unhealthy warm vegan food as a grab and go meal. No seating but super super cheap. The ladies always had a smile. Highly recommended as a place to grab a snack or a filling albeit not very balanced meal.

Pros: All completely vegan, Free condiments, Authentic
