Minder Vegetarian is chain of "pay what you weigh" buffet style vegetarian food- mostly spotted at mall or hospital food courts, the Xindian location has an all you can eat on their second floor.

Veggies, mushrooms and soy galore- at Dun Hua Eslite, you can add rice and soup for a little extra

Now if only someone would open up a Souplantation or decent salads and soup place here!

Do you know if they add MSG to the food? Usually vegetarian places in Taiwan are super heavy on the MSG. A lot of supposedly great tasting food is actually enhanced with MSG, and actually it gets pretty bland and annoying after awhile, besides the health issues.

Is this where they weigh your food before paying? I am looking for a vegetarian buffet restaurant that does not weigh food but pay first than eat type.

Eric,
Yes, according to the article, Minder is a weigh-your-food type of place. I've been to the one at XinYi and although it is a bit pricey, it is quite delicious.
