A decent hotel buffet worth trying - Edit
I’ve been to both this buffet and the Fruitful foods in Kaohsiung, so I can review the pros and cons of each. This buffet was a lot less busy during the week (price is also a bit cheaper than at weekend too).
Read moreI though the quality of the food was better at here than at Kyo Kyo / they also have quality tea selection from Taylor’s. Despite the higher price, there’s still a good selection of vegan options. There’s even stinky tofu you can try. The minced pork and mushroom was my favorite and the pork pastries were also great. There is definitely some confusing labels - a sign saying vegan Hawaiian pizza which was also marked as containing dairy and a “vegan eel hand-roll” was marked similarly. The let down for me here were the desserts - they had Movenpick ice cream and 4 ice lollies - all of which contained milk. Would have been quite easily to at least offer some sorbet. There are a number of Asian desserts though - shaved ice, tofu pudding and sweet bean soup as well as fruit. Still a decent place to check out if you are in Kaohsiung.

Great Buffet Experience, Needed More Vegan Items - Edit
KYO KYO is an all-vegetarian buffet nestled on the 9th floor of the Marriott Hotel in Kaohsiung. I was eager to try this spot as I've rarely been able to indulge in a plant-based buffet, let alone one of this magnitude. With Taiwan being known for its veg options, I knew I had to see for myself.
Read moreCost was about NTD900 a person which is steep for Taiwanese pricing but pretty standard for westerners especially for a buffet of this size. When we walked in, we were told that this was an all-vegetarian buffet, almost to make sure we knew what we were getting ourselves into.
The buffet is separated into multiple sections with tons of options. If you are a vegetarian in the traditional sense (allowing for dairy and eggs), you're going to really enjoy the buffet selection. They have cold cut areas for sushi, hot western and Asian dishes, Taiwanese specialties, soups, and desserts. Everything is clearly marked so you'll know what allergens it contains, although it's a bit trickier to identify the fully vegan options.
As for me, I was only able to eat less than half the items since a lot of them contained dairy or eggs. I enjoyed the kognac sashimi, the stinky tofu, and assorted mock meats. They also had an extensive juice bar and even some vegan desserts.
My one major gripe was seeing items that could've been fully veganized but weren't due to a sauce or added ingredient. I saw a "Vegan eel in mayo tuna salad," which to me makes it confusing and unnecessary to even call it vegan anymore. Just drop the word vegan as we know the entire buffet is vegetarian anyways.
Overall, really happy I got to try this buffet as I doubt I'll have a chance to do this again anytime in the near future.
Pros: All vegetarian menu is quite grand for a buffet
Cons: Needed more dedicated vegan items
