Méi Mén Shí Jiàn Táng

I thought the menu looked very promising, but in reality several of the dishes were disappointing in terms of flavour: the mapo tofu is lacklustre, lacking spices not just in heat, but just in aromatics and taste. The sesame seed soup had the potential to be great, but there was insufficient sesame flavour and some bitterness coming though. The sichuan noodles though I’d highly recommend for a strong peppery umami flavour and the taro soup is also nicely textured with bits of taro, and tastes a bit like a taro bubble tea. Delicious! The server we had was also very nice and spoke to us in English about Taipei climate, what the institution that owns this restaurant facilitates (not about the belief system which I thought was safe to omit) and also gave us a sample of lovely Taiwanese tea! In particular I’d recommend the Alishan. There is an English menu.

誤打誤撞走進來 菜單看似平淡無奇 但實際卻清淡可口 我：實曠伏仁六神湯麵線（去酒 麵線不是煮的很爛的那種 湯也清爽好喝 友：培元紅燒湯冬粉 主食 100可以點兩樣小菜 我們點了：麻香豆腐、師房膳品 今天的師房膳品是炒高麗菜～ 再多點了一份行餃天涯，10顆 份 餃子皮如果能有嚼勁點就太棒了 烏梅汁也很特別 是間喜歡吃清爽口味能來吃的店

Fancy food court food I guess. Wish they had smaller portions and cheaper options, but glad there were veg options in this area. I had the wonton soup and it was palatable if a bit bland.

Great vegetarian restaurant for lunch or dinner. All the dishes are done with care. However, the price can be high for those who are looking for simple meals.

Sit-down vegetarian place in the corner of the basement; it can be a bit hard to find, but it's next to a Korean place. Run by a non-profit of some sort who will give you a pamphlet. Food is pretty good, and definitely different than most other vegetarian restaurants in town. English on menu.
