Hualien City, Hualien County｜茹薰素食

Food was very flavorful and a great price.

Vegan friendly family owned restaurant. They were very kind and the food was delicious and affordable. Try their green sauce! I asked if I could purchase a jar of it to take back to the states and the grandmother told me she'd make a jar for me if I could come back the next day. I came back and she gifted me the jar of sauce! I keep it frozen and enjoy a taste of Taiwan whenever I make soba noodle soup! Wonderful people!!

Fabulous made-from-scratch vegan food, with some unusual options like Taiwan-style tempura, mapo tofu, and tomato noodle soup. They also have a whole line of delicious house-made sauces. They’re also open late. I wish I lived in Hualien so I could eat here every day! Our order: 瓜仔若飯 rice with pickled cucumber mince “meat” - sweet, juicy and tasty. Very generous portion. Enough for a light meal on its own, or for two people to share with other dishes Recommended! 素燥飯 rice with “meat” gravy - also a very big portion. Juicy and not oily, but a little on the salty side. 牛若湯 vegetarian beef soup - nice rich herbal broth, lots of veggies, and delicious mock beef made from mushrooms. Highly recommended. 番茄蔬菜湯 tomato vegetable soup - chunky fresh tomato broth and a very diverse selection of veggies and tofu. Delicious and filling. Try it with hot sauce. 麻婆豆腐燴飯 rice with Mapo tofu. Not bad, but nothing special. 滷油豆腐 braised fried tofu. Soft and tasty!
