Hi-Lai Vegetarian Restaurant Hanshin Arena Branch — Restaurant in Kaohsiung

Have been here twice, first time was really good, the food and everything. Second time I was here almost 2 years later I had found out I can't eat gluten but my wife parents thought we could go here anyway since they thought the restaurant would probably have something without gluten or I just eat a little gluten since here people don't seem to understand gluten allergies//intolerance have bad it can be. Well they had like one dish I could eat.

When we first asked before entering they sounded like we should just find another restaurant instead, which is quite rude.

We still decided to eat here and asked what I could eat and they still recommend things that have gluten, since they didn't seem to know that soy sauce have gluten, also recommended some that uses wheat which also they thought was not gluten.

Only one girl there that was really helpful. Would I recommend this restaurant, yes if you can eat everything, since the...

Eating my (vegetarian) way through Taiwan, this is one place that consistently refuses to disappoint. On any parameter.

This time around we went for dinner, after a long day of roaming in the heat and this was probably the best thing to happen to us all day.

Their Dan Dan mian was awesome - we wolfed it down in seconds (they say it's spicy, but it's really not. maybe a bit, but really, no ) .

Next up were platters of various vegetables - all excellent and a Mapo tofu which was again - brilliant! Their's is also the best vegan Chao mian in this hemisphere. Despite the generous potion, we were contemplating getting some more. Vegan meatballs and bibimbap were also demolished, again all at lightning speed.

The original plan was to save room for dessert which obviously didn't happen. There's always...

Undoubtedly my all-time favourite vegetarian restaurant in Kaohsiung City (or anywhere else!). The restaurant is very well organised, thoughtfully planned out, spacious, and is simply an extremely pleasant place in which to eat.

The service is fantastic. Staff are welcoming, friendly, and highly efficient and professional in all aspects.

Finally, of course, the food is absolutely superb. The menu offers a brilliantly eclectic choice of vegetarian dishes that blend various styles of SE Asian cuisine, and new and interesting options are introduced regularly. I'll never tire of their vegetable rice dishes. Ingredients are always fresh and of very high quality.

I highly recommended this restaurant to anyone in search of a first-rate dining experience in Kaohsiung (and it's a must-try for any vegetarians), all for a very reasonable price. All of this praise comes from a customer who has dined here over 20 times in...
