Miao Yuan vegetarian is a buffet-style restaurant serving vegetarian side dishes, located in an alley by the fire station next to Shin Kong Mitsukoshi department store near Ximen in Taipei. Diners choose as many vegetable dishes as they want, pay by weight, and eat at a table. Rice is available self-service after an additional payment, and free soup is provided as well. The more food you take, the higher the bill, so the cost can add up.
