    Tasty Taiwanese vegetarian meals. Good value too. This place is purely vegetarian and vegan just so you know! Service is very friendly and efficient. They've got some Taiwanese goodies for sale as well as dried soy-based 'meat' used in the dishes. Awesome place. I'd definitely go back when in Vienna.

    A tiny restaurant (more like a bistro/store) that specializes on veggie/vegan food with asian flavor (chinese/taiwanese). Offers mango lassi, bubble-tea, canned "meat" and various burgers to go, which is a nice alternative when looking for a tasty veggie snack during a city trip.

    Greasy, simple, sweet, savoury and delicious! If you're hungry, you'll want to order more than you can eat. Their portions might not seem big, but they are filling. Prices are OK and the personal is friendly. There is seating inside and outside. You get your drinks on your own.

    Lovely vegan restaurant! The staff is very friendly and the food is great and the main dish portions are very big! All vegan too! 🌿 It's a small place and they also offer some food items to shop. I've been coming here for years!

    Vegetarian restaurant with nice ambience, boss is friendly and welcoming. We are surprised by spotting bubble tea in the menu 🧋 The pearls are freshly cooked , and it's chewy qq! After Italy, Innsbruck, and Hallstatt, finally we found an asia Taiwanese chinese vegetarian restaurant. 🙌 Fried silky toufu is soft and good, and it comes with pickled vegetables. Chicken cutlet fried noodles are salty, and the chicken patty is hard to chew and dry. Kimchi noodles soup with Konjac seafood, the soup base is flavourful, not so spicy. Love the vegetarian seafood texture. The mini fried springroll is crispy. Miso soup come with silky toufu and seaweeds.

  • 5/5 Lunia O. 1 year ago on Google • 37 reviews
    Very tasty, vegan, hearthy. We are full and happy after a visit here. A lot of food on a plate, fresh and crunchy veggies (you can see the kitchen and products they use - fresh colorful veggies). Seitan "duck" was also good :) Additionaly, the owner is such a lovely welcoming person :) Interior is rather raw, but we don't mind it as long as food and atmosphere is good :)

  • 5/5 Titania S. 2 years ago on Google • 36 reviews
    Nice and small vegetarian restaurant with many vegan options! We ordered Thai Curry with vegan prawns and Teriyaki Wrap. The Teriyaki Wrap was so good and also super cheap. The Thai Curry was probably one of the best we've ever tried! It comes in a big portion but the rice is quite small. The staff were super nice and the atmosphere was so pleasant. Will definitely come back to try another dish!

    A wonderful little vegan/vegetarian friendly Taiwanese restaurant - the manager is very welcoming and the menu offers a great variety of choices - all vegetarian and many vegan, so there's no need to worry. In addition to the tasty food, there's also a little shop section with specialities, various soy meats (quite a big selection!), sweets and other snacks. We'll definitely be coming back and recommending this to friends! ✨🌱

    Some of the best food I've had in a long time. I got oil on my shirt but even that was worth it. This is one of those places that make you want to return to a city just for the food. The Kimchi noodle soup and the Beef Taiwanese noodle soup were both fantastic.

    (Translated by Google) Delicious! Vegetarian! Cooked it home! Inexpensive, but my food came much later than my friend was almost done with his food (Original) Lecker! Vegetarisch! Haben es Zuhause nachgekocht! Preiswert, nur ist mein Essen viel später gekommen als von meinem Freund der schon fast fertig war mit seinem Essen

    no doubt, the best Vegan food in town 😋

  • 4/5 Ellen T. 2 years ago on Google
    love this place! it is one of the first vegan restaurants and stores in vienna that we used to go to regularly. now that veganism has boomed in vienna there are many other options, so maybe formosa can make a slightly more drastic update to the menu to keep playing at the top. either way, certain dishes are my absolute all time favorites (such as the fried pancakes) and the staff is lovely.

    Absolutely delicious food ! And cheap . I'm so happy I found this little place, tucked down a side street. Will be back !

  • 5/5 Artur R. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food and great staff, very polite and helpful. I recommend for everyone looking for a good vegetarian/vegan meal. One suggestion - heating inside was off the charts, needs tuning down a notch. Although if you’re always cold during winter - this is a perfect place for you!

    (Translated by Google) I've been a customer for a long time and it is probably my favorite restaurant. Large, great selection, delicious (especially the spicy pancakes) and always friendly. The music is certainly a matter of taste, I like it, it makes you wanderlust to Taiwan. Come again and again and nothing will change. (Original) Bin schon lange Kunde und es ist wohl mein Lieblingsrestaurant. Große, tolle Auswahl, köstlich (besonders die pikanten Pfannkuchen) und immerzu freundlich. Die Musik ist sicherlich Geschmackssache, ich mag sie, macht Fernweh nach Taiwan. Komme immer wieder und daran wird sich wohl auch nie was ändern.

    (Translated by Google) The owners of the restaurant have never heard of hygiene. Starting from the spray bottle which is filled with water with which you should disinfect your hands to the toilet, the toilet paper holder is smeared until it is no longer possible. The food looks more like something you put together on Sunday evening from leftovers that you found in the last corner of the kitchen when you have nothing else at home. The wrap was a tortilla filled with lettuce, tomato and nuts and then drowned in cheap 0815 sweet and sour sauce. It only tasted of sauce and the whole thing wasn't folded properly either, it was just open in the paper packaging. (Original) Von Hygiene haben die Inhaber des Restaurants noch nie was gehört. Angefangen von der Sprühflasche die mit Wasser gefüllt ist mit der man sich die Hände desinfizieren soll bis zur Toilette, dessen Toilettenpapierhalter verschmiert ist bis zum geht nicht mehr. Das Essen wirkt eher wie etwas was man am Sonntagabend aus Resten, die man in der letzten Ecke der Küche gefunden hat, zusammen gelegt hat, wenn man gar nichts mehr anderes Zuhause hat. Der Wrap war eine Tortilla die mit Salat, Tomate und Nüssen gefüllt und anschließend in billiger 0815 Süß-sauersauce ertränkt worden ist. Es schmeckte nur nach sauce und richtig gefaltet worden ist das ganze auch nicht, es lag einfach offen in der Papierverpackung.

    friendly staff and a huge variety of vegan dishes with mock meats. every time I'm in Vienna I have to visit and get the hot dog. it's absolutely delicious.

  • 5/5 Vedrana L. 5 years ago on Google
    Really nice restaurant with amazing stuff and amazing food. Every vegan and non-vegan should go there. Also nice selection of asian food.

  • 4/5 Verenka V. 5 years ago on Google
    Small, friendly place for vegan snacks. Everything is called "chicken" or "beef" but is in fact vegan. The burger and fries were good. I took home some frozen "lemon chicken" and that turned out yummy as well.

  • 4/5 Ioanna A. 4 years ago on Google
    They had a variety of vegan asian dishes as well as smaller snacks and desserts. Everything tasted delicious and the portions were satisfying. The lady working there was polite and tried to be as helpful as possible even though she didn't speak english. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that i would like if it was a bit cleaner or the space better arranged/decorated.

    (Translated by Google) You are vegetarian and you feel like a chicken or duck? Formosa Food offers various meat imitations (also to take away). Three cute Asian girls prepare the food deliciously. The food tastes good and the atmosphere is pleasant. In good weather you can also sit outside (pedestrian area). The restaurant is just a few steps from the mariahilferstr. away. The menu is varied enough and in the end everyone is satisfied, even the animals who did not die for a piece of meat on the plate. Highly recommended! (Original) Sie sind Vegetarier und haben Lust auf ein Hühnchen oder Ente? Formosa Food bietet diverse Fleischimitate (auch zum mitnehmen) an. Drei nette Asiatinnen bereiten die Speisen köstlich zu. Das Essen schmeckt gut und Die Atmosphäre ist angenehm. Bei gutem Wetter kann man auch draußen sitzen (Fußgängerzone). Das Restaurant ist nur ein paar Schritte von der mariahilferstr. entfernt. Das Menü ist abwechslungsreich genug und zum Schluss ist jeder zufrieden, auch die Tiere, die nicht für ein Stück Fleisch auf dem Teller sterben mussten. Sehr empfehlenswert!

  • 4/5 Milena A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good cordon bleu, friendly and fast service. Value for money optimal. A star deduction because the champion soup comes out of the bag and the side salad was carelessly prepared. Otherwise you get good vegan food! (Original) Gutes Cordon bleu, freundliche und schnelle Bedienung. Preis-Leistung Verhältnis optimal. Ein Stern Abzug weil die Champion Suppe aus der Tüte kommt und der Beilagensalat lieblos hergerichtet war. Ansonsten bekommt man gutes Veganes Essen!

    (Translated by Google) We happened upon this little restaurant and we loved it. The restaurant is located in a side street of the MaHÜ. It's all vegan, even the "meat / fish" dishes are vegan.
