Vegetarian restaurant located above the Songjiang Nanjing Station exit and upstairs from a bakery. Serves Cantonese style dim sum typical of Hong Kong except that it's all vegetarian and vegan. Menu has food photos, so you can point to the dishes you want. Choices includes small dim sum plates (like dumplings and buns) as well larger entrees. Has fresh juices. Interior is spacious with large round tables covered in white cloths. Finer than your typical veggie eatery in Taiwan. At Songjiang Nanjing MRT Exit 8. Open Mon-Fri 11:30am-4:30pm, Mon-Sun 5:30pm-9:30pm, Sat-Sun 11:00am-2:30pm.

Deliciously original - Edit
I went here with a friend a few months ago and ordered takeaway several times, it's always delicious. From my experience, if you want to eat in, you might have to book a table, especially in the evening on the weekends.

Pros: Delicious, Lots of choice, Great service
Cons: Expensive, (not fully vegan)

Set menu was a great choice - Edit
We got their set dinner menu for 6 people and were not disappointed. More food than we could finish, there were lots of options to choose from and it was relatively affordable. Also menu items are clearly marked if they contain dairy or eggs.
Read moreA note about accessing the restaurant: enter the bakery on the ground floor and take the stairs to the 2nd.

Great menu options!! - Edit
I had the sweet and sour lion mane dish and the spinach and mushroom dumplings which both looked a bit plain but were actually so flavourful! There were heaps of vegan options clearly marked on the menu. Was a bit more expensive than other restaurants but very nice service (they even had a robot!).

Dim Sum Dump-kings - Edit
Wow what a fantastic meal! The vegan pork xiao long bau were superb in particular. Lots of choices and clear marking as to what is vegetarian and what vegan. The atmosphere is nice with lots of Taiwanese families too.

Veggie Chinese & dim-sum paradise - Edit
Extensive menu with lots of vegan options which are clearly labelled. We sampled a range of dishes and they were all delicious. My favourite was the mashed taro wrapped in nori and bean curd. As usual in Taiwan, free tea refills are provided throughout the meal.
Read moreThe venue has a nice ambiance and a warm atmosphere. Very popular throughout the day so best to make a reservation upfront. We showed up shortly before they open for dinner at 17.30 and got a table without a reservation. By 7 pm the restaurant was 100% full with a long que of people in waiting for a table. Ordering is very efficient via an app and the staff was quick and attentive.

Amazing dim sum - Edit
When a local resident heard I was vegan, he immediately recommended Yang Shin, and thank goodness he did! This was our best meal in Taipei. Loved every item we got--and there were so many options! Reasonably priced, too.

Really good veg dim sum - Edit
I was so excited to try this place when I read that they have veg xiaolongbao. While my omnivore Taiwanese mother assured me that they’re not as good as nonveg xiaolongbao, I was really happy with them. I especially enjoyed the monkey head mushroom dish (I think it was kung pao), the fried turnip pastry, and rice noodle rolls.

Read moreLook at those long queue people, you can imagine how great its taste is.
3 years ago, I was the first eater for 100 times. Now I have eaten for about 200 times.
Pros: Foods are so tasty, attract many foreigners., Service is great., Location is very convenient.
Cons: Booking isn't so easy because it's always full., Too close to my home, only 80 meters.

Great food, slow service - Edit
Food was great! Compared to similar fine dining fast food restaurants (Din Tai Fung style), the service here was a bit too slow. Several of our dishes seemed to be forgotten about and we had to remind the staff several times. Otherwise a great experience though!

Incredible dim sum! - Edit
Be prepared for a long wait to be seated and get your food. Once it comes out, it’ll likely be among the best Dim Sum you’ve had. It’s definitely quite upscale, but worth it. Recommend the BBQ ham buns, and sweet potato sesame dumplings for dessert.

Delicious dim sum in busy vegetarian restaurant - Edit
Read more in this vegan Taipei guide: https://itravelforveganfood.com/vegan-taipei-guide/
Read moreThis is a great place to go to try out vegan Chinese yum cha and dim sum. Most of the choices are vegan. The ones with egg or milk are marked clearly.
You can find the classic dim sum like siu mai, dumplings, buns, rice noodle rolls and rice rolls here. Special mention to the black sesame paste, which is a sweet black sesame dessert. The one here is fragrant and perfectly smooth. Siu mai is pretty great as well. They also have other main dishes which will be more suitable for dinner time.
One thing to keep in mind is that this place is very busy. Despite being a decent-sized restaurant, the whole place was filled up at around 12:30.
Pros: Delicious dim sum, Clearly marked vegan options

A Fancy restaurant and a place to be seen - Edit
Yang shin is a very nice upscale vegetarian restaurant with a nice view of the city. There are many vegan dishes, and the menu has pictures with a little symbol of an egg or milk if the dish is not vegan. The food is very nice. They make typical (but fancified) dim sum and serve it family style. Please note that the person who makes the reservation is entitled to pay, so don't let your family or host make the reservation if you intend to pay!
Read morePros: nice atmosphere, interesting dishes
Cons: kind of expensive, not completely vegan

Gentle flavor - Edit
We arrive around 2 pm but so many people were waiting.
Read moreMaybe it's better if you make a reservation.
All meal have not so strong flavor and portion was big.
Some ban were small and not so impressive.
Over all, it's a really good restaurant if you want to try local meal

Elegant Restaurant on 2nd Floor (Above Nozomi Bakery) - Edit
Location on Happy Cow is off, restaurant is above Nozomi Bakery (exit 8 of station, turn left)
Read moreThe place is bustling, service is excellent and very professional (staff spoke English, Menu also in English).
Food was delicious, especially the Cantonese Chow Mein, Xiaolong Bao and Traditional Tofu Pudding! (So happy we could find a traditional xiaolong bao with soup filling that was vegan friendly!)
Only reason I gave 4 star is because the porcini dumpling and bbq vege-ham bun were not as good as we expected.

Traditional Chinese restaurant - Edit
Large, loud venue with a huge menu. Non-vegan items clearly marked. It wasn't cheap but it was great to try a range of dishes. The "duck" pancakes and mushroom skewers with curry sauce were the highlights of the items we tried. Note that there are 2 hour sittings all day, and you will have to be out before the next sitting.

Delicious Veg Dim Sum - Edit
Phenomenal vegetarian dim sum restaurant. All of the dim sum dishes are delicious, especially their char-siu buns. Order these.
Read moreThe only downside is that their regular dishes (entrees) were not as superb. They came out cold and flavors were a bit off. Don't order these.
