太郎中華拉麵 純素

First off, I'm not sure where the reviewer has had vegan Japanese-style ramen in Taipei for NT$120: I've only tried standard Japanese-style ramen in Taipei for NT$250! I think NT$190 is quite reasonable even here in Southern Taiwan. Plus, the chashu ramen broth (a combination of soy milk and miso) was absolutely fantastic, and the vegan chashu slices are made from lion's mane mushroom (albiet they aren't made in-house). The ramen noodles tasted authentic (curly and chewy) and really hit the spot on a cool winter evening. My dad arrived at 17:25 on a Friday to be at the start of the line for dinner service at 18:00. Around 17:30 was when more people started to arrive after him. Only seven bar seats are available with a narrow aisle behind them, but since the first eight diners came in pairs, one of them stood near the door with his dining companion and enjoyed his bowl of noodles that way. We also used tongs to grab a couple of oden items (average price: NT$35 each) displayed in bowls on the bar, which are cooked in a spicy broth and served to you separately from your noodles. The smoked yuba rolls were my favorite. We were out within 30 minutes to allow other diners to enjoy the ramen. Ramen flavors vary depending on the day, and the staff will list the available options after you sit down. The ones available when we went were chashu ramen, soy sauce, yuzu pepper, and tomato miso (seasonal special, slightly more expensive option). You can also add vegan cheese for NT$30. The interior decor will remind you of Japan in the 1980s, including the playlist. Pro tip: in case you don't want to wait for a seat, we also found out that they do offer take-out if you BYO dishware.

Best food I have had in Tainan. 很好吃！ This is a great, albeit tiny restaurant. There is a queue, since only 6-8 adults can fit at the same time. It's worth it though, the ramen is delicious, and the ambiance is nice. 谢谢！

No need to wait at all this noon. The owner explained to us in detail about every kinds of ramen, makes everything easier. She prepared the food very fast but very careful, she is very professional. Ramen is delicious and totally vegan, worth a visit!

Amazing vegan ramen, a must-try for anyone visiting Tainan!

Excellent vegan soup noodle place! Filling, fresh, and delicious. Definitely a bit more expensive than your average bowl of noodles (at least 200 a bowl), but worth every penny! Do be prepared to wait for a table—the place is tiny and seating fills up quickly.

The food is in very high quality and the soup base is just amazing! A true paradise for vegan! I will definitely return to this noodle shop if I by any chance will visit Tainan again.

Really yummy small vegan store (roughly 8 seats). Broth is very rich and tasty! The long line up is well worth the wait~ Highly recommend！

It's a great experience. Food is amazing. I recommend to everyone! I would love to eat again and again.
