Herbivore 信義A4店 Vegan料理 — Restaurant in Xinyi District

This place overall was good. Some dishes were hit, some were a miss. There was 5 of us and we ordered 5 dishes including dessert (the pancake) and it was less than 500NT/person so the pricing was not as expensive as other plant based restaurants. We went on Sunday evening. It wasn't busy. Servers were attentive. Always made sure our water was filled. There was 2 strange thing tho. We initially ordered a salad that had avocados and they told us that it was out. So we ordered different salad except table next to us received their order right after this and had ton of avo on their salad...Also when we asked for extra bowls to split one of the dish (we asked 4 because there was 4 of us), they were like, "we'll give you 3" haha.

COCONUT CURRY RAMEN WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS - The soup was delicious. It had tons of veggies too. I'm not a big fan of noodle dishes, but this was delicious.

POWER PROTEIN SALAD - My favorite. Their roasted sesame dressing was nice. It was nutty and almost like white miso. Also has bunch of other grains and stuff. Super fun salad.

PHILLY CHEESE VURGER - I wasn't sure how I felt about this. I know it's hard to make plant based patties to be solid like meat consistency, but this was really mushy. Also the vegan cheese didn't have much flavor. This was hyped and I feel like it was just a hype.

CARAMELIZED BANANA WITH ALMOND SLICES PANCAKES - The pancake itself was okay. It was fluffy, but I felt like it was a bit dry. But it came with hazelnut syrup (unsweetened) which was yummy. And maple syrup.

VEGAN CRUNCH WRAP( not pictured) - This was a bummer. Not much excitement....

This is a vegan restaurant Located on the second floor inside the 信義A4 mall. You order through the QR code on the table. I called to make a reservation at 5:40pm for 7pm dinner on Monday. It was an easy process. No problem getting a reservation for two. The restaurant was not busy on Monday night, but If you are planning on visiting on a weekend, a reservation is highly recommended.

We have been eating a lot of Asian styled food and want to have something different. Mexican tacos and burrito are perfect on the menu. They are both delicious. Not too salty or oily. Ingredients are fresh. Tacos come out very fast. Burrito takes a while to bake. The Brussel sprouts with mint and onions are quite good as well and go well with the tacos and burrito. Falafel is amazing with the cucumber sauce and hummus. Curry Buddha bowl is delicious. The peanut tofu skewers are flavorful with a light touch of lime. Everything we have at this restaurant has been delightful.

Service was friendly. Servers come by quickly each time we are done with a plate to clear the dirty dish off our table. The environment is bright and clean.

Highly recommend trying...

update: changed to 4 stars due to shorter waiting hours, more food available, amazing updated menu, and consistent quality. happy to see it getting better and better!

original review:

amazing food. Everything is delicious, every time. Really incredible. Food alone is 5 stars!

many items often not available bad acoustics, sometimes difficult to have a conversation very long waiting periods for order to be taken, even when it’s pretty empty inflexible when it comes to removing or replacing simple ingredients (like nuts for allergies, or a slice of tomato from a burger). I’ve never seen another restaurant be so rigid and inflexible. I brought a friend who’s allergic and felt so bad for her when staff refused to not add a slice of tomato. It’s not like it’s inside the dough or already mixed in and impossible to extract. We don’t like being fussy, and those were small requests. But it’s like the kitchen is a robot, there’s only 1 way to do it and they refuse everything else.

Looking at the other reviews, hope everything can be even better in the future. This has such great...
