So good, we went back two days later - Edit
Happy Cow had really been letting us down for directions and location on this trip until it took us to XiángHé!
Read moreLovely staff, incredible food and, with a little help from the translation app, able to ensure the food we selected was vegan not just vegetarian and soy-free due to allergies.
The tasty mochi and tea provided for everyone was delicious and would go back many times over when back in Taipei!
Pros: Food, Staff, Price

Healthy, fresh and absolutely delicious - Edit
Far above your average meal! Took 3 dishes (small, small, medium) for two people and everything tasted extraordinarily good. Lots of vegan options too. Staff is friendly and helpful. Michelin awarded since 2018 and a bit more expensive (paid 1000 TWD) than the average Taipei restaurant, but very much worth every penny.
Read morePros: Quality of the food, Creativity of the food, Helpful staff
Cons: Last order shortly after 20h

Great Food and Chill Vibes - Edit
The environment and food were both above average.
Read moreIt was my first time dining at this vegetarian round-table restaurant with friends. The atmosphere was very comfortable, and although the staff were busy, they remained friendly. The food was delicious.
Pros: The dishes are creative., The restaurant has a clean and pleasant atmosphere
Cons: I can’t think of any downsides at the moment.

Delicious - Edit
Had a few dishes. All were great with nice flavours and fresh. All complimented each other. Stinky tofu was probably the best I’ve had. Nice to try for something different.
Read moreMy favourite was the wontons in chilli oil. The fried rice with no egg was delicious. Egg plant dish was delicious. The sechuan vegan intestines were delicious but some people in our party didn’t like the sechuan pepper flavour. In my opinion one of the best greens to have is the sweet potato leaves. These ones were nice but missing some flavour.
All in all one of the best meals I’ve had in Taiwan. Well worth a visit. And I’m sure I’ll be back.

Expensive high end restaurant - Edit
Went with group of 7,tried many dishes,a few good ones,the rest nothing special. Places as good as if not better for cheaper prices. Personally believe over rated. Also time limit of 90minutes ,which is alright if everyone in group arrives on time..if not can be rushed.

Pricey, but worth it - Edit
Incredible food! I read about the „vegetarian intestines“ thankfully it doesn’t taste as bad as it sounds!
Read moreIt’s mushrooms with basil. Very delicious stir fry packed with flavours - best meal in Taiwan. It’s pricey and they add 10% to the bill. You can decide between s,m, l #Veganuary
Pros: Three portion sizes , Delicious , Free tea
Cons: Names for dishes are very ugly

Top pick in Taipei - Edit
I truly loved the food at this venue. Each individual dish was wonderful and the service was attentive. Plan ahead, because reservations are required, and there are a few dishes that need pre-ordered.
Read moreThis was my favorite venue that I tried in Taipei. Next time I'm in town, I will visit this venue twice!

Fantastic food - Edit
Delicious vegetarian restaurant with dishes containing milk or eggs clearly marked. We went twice and the food was delicious both times: fresh, light and really tasty.
Read moreWe enjoyed in particular the monkey heads (both with basil and greens) and the spicy cauliflower.
Don't miss this restaurant if you're travelling to Taipei.

Good food, bad names - Edit
The menu is lengthy and has something for everyone. However, I was a bit put off by the naming of some dishes, which seemed inappropriate or insensitive. I mean, do you really have to call stir fried mushrooms “vegetarian intestines”?
Read moreThe food was tasty and the portions were large even for the SMALL size of the dishes. The venue is nice (although the light was a bit cold and clinical) and is worth checking out, but be prepared to ignore some of the dish names.
It’s cash only and they charge 10% service fee.

Enjoyable experience - Edit
I made a reservation over the phone, but it did take me several attempts to get anything but a busy signal. We had a party of nine for a Wednesday dinner at 18:00, but they were already out of the large round tables and asked if we would be okay with sitting at a long table instead. (Sure, no biggie.)
Read moreThe entrance is not grandiose: it made me feel cozy when I saw it though. We were ushered in to our table, and they didn’t mind that there was some baby food brought in from outside the restaurant to feed a baby as long as the ingredients didn’t include any meat or fish.
We were a little overwhelmed by the lengthy menu, but the six adults of the party each chose one or two dishes as the waitress came around to each of us. She offered advice and helped communicate what others had already ordered so that we could avoid redundancy, not just in dishes but also in flavors (e.g., Thai basil). I thought that was helpful, as well as her confirmation of whether any of the dishes we ordered contained any foods that I’m allergic to. If you’re gluten-free, avoid the noodles, dumplings, and mock meats. They also have a couple of dishes that contain peanuts. But their menu is allium-free.
I enjoyed the smoky tofu skin that was on the table as an appetizer when we arrived. The vegan intestines were also fantastic: dehydrated and sautéed oyster mushrooms that had a nice bite. The cucumber (mung bean, which is gluten-free) noodle salad was refreshing. I adored the steamed stinky tofu stew and devoured two squares and some of the soup. The lion’s mane mushroom with broccoli was so juicy compared to other restaurants I’ve been to.
We ordered the medium sizes for all of the dishes, which was the right amount for six adults, one teenager, one toddler, and one baby. One of my friends did also order wontons in chili oil, but I didn’t try it since it contained gluten. It didn’t look right though: it was missing the dish’s signature red chili oil! And I was told that the filing didn’t taste quite right: it was more like a vegetable dumpling. (She was expecting more of a mock ground pork texture.)
The brown sugar rice cakes were so good that we bought 2 orders (10 each) to take home and enjoy. The outer layer of mochi was delicate and soft, and the texture of the filling was so fine: get these!
I thought it was odd that they don’t accept credit cards when the price point is a bit higher than your standard hole in the wall. But I guess that’s just how they roll.
