Looking for a cheap, healthy and filling vegan restaurant? Sweet Veggie is where it’s at. This Chinese vegan/vegetarian buffet is a bang for your buck type of place. You pay first, ($10 for lunch buffet), get seated, grab a plate and pile all the foods you want on top!
Sweet Veggie offers lots of great Chinese options such as fried rice, noodles tofu and veggie dishes. They even have soup, sushi and some American options like fries and pizza (non-vegan). They offer milk tea and shaved ice for dessert too! The restaurant gets super busy on weekends and they don’t take reservations so you might want to come early or after the lunch rush.
Plate #1 – veggies, tofu and fried rice
Plate #2 – noodles, sushi (vegan) and salad
Taiwanese dessert – shaved ice with taro, red bean, grass jelly and aiyu
After you finish eating, you bus your own table. 100% of the profits go to a Buddhist temple and the restaurant is also ran by the temple/organization. Great place!
