📌 Around 11:30, there are a lot of people. It's recommended to go after 12:30 when there are fewer people, and there are plenty of dishes.
🔹 Prices
Only cash is accepted.
Pricing is not based on weight; it depends on how many dishes you order.
The picture shows four dishes + one meat (fried ribs, cabbage, tomato and egg, eggplant, amaranth) for $100.
I had ordered three dishes + one portion of braised pork + a small rice for $85 before.
🔹 Meals
The ribs are pretty good; they are quite substantial, with thinner skin and smaller granules.
The cabbage is crunchy, and the eggplant is quite oily,
The tomato and egg dish has no actual tomatoes, just ketchup.
🔹 Ordering rules
Whether dining in or taking out, you must queue, and you have to line up every time you come because there are a lot of customers.
First, you choose
A. A bento with fixed dishes
B. A buffet where you select your own dishes; you can also request rice in the buffet.
▪️ If you want the buffet, you need to specify whether you want a large box or a small box. I remember that if you choose more than three dishes, you have to use a large box (if you ask for a large box but only choose three dishes, the staff might remind you...).
▪️ The dishes also come in large and small portions. The buffet defaults to small portions, and if you eat in-house and ask for "small dishes," it means you get large portions, so be aware of that.
🔹 Environment
It's really hot in the summer; I don’t know if they have the air conditioning on but it’s not strong enough, or if they didn’t turn on the air conditioning at all. In any case, it’s very hot, so you wouldn't want to dine in.
📍 In summary, the meals are quite tasty, the portions are normal, and there are many dishes, so I would still come for the buffet. The downside is that I don't quite understand the pricing standards, and one staff member's attitude is a bit unfriendly...
📍 Location and Transportation: Located in the urban area of Xindian City, New Taipei City, the nearest MRT station is Qizhang Station, about a 2-minute walk. Most customers are nearby residents, and parking is not allowed in front of the store due to the red line.
🏠 Space: The interior of the store is simply decorated, with the first floor dedicated to a self-serve area for food. There are a few seats on the left side and behind the counter, and additional seating on the second floor.
💰 Payment: After taking food using paper plates or takeaway boxes, customers should weigh and pay at the counter using cash. The store also accepts personal eco-friendly boxes; however, customers need to weigh their boxes at the counter in advance to deduct the weight from the total. There is a 10% discount on the price every Monday!
🍽️ Meals:
For dine-in, there is a minimum charge of 70 NT$, and for an additional 10 NT$, customers can enjoy unlimited white rice, multigrain rice, plain porridge, hot soup, and sweet soup. (The same applies for takeaway; an extra 10 NT$ for a large bowl of rice and self-service soup.)
I think the variety of dishes offered at Green Era Buffet is very rich. In addition to various colors of vegetables (green, white, purple), there are root vegetables (carrots, pumpkin, water chestnuts, lotus root), eggs (braised eggs, fried eggs, omelets), braised items (braised tofu and bamboo shoots), fried food, and a small amount of pickled items, making it hard to get tired of the selection even with frequent visits.
Because I have a larger appetite, my usual weight for a fully loaded dine-in paper plate is about 120 NT$. Dine-in customers can also enjoy extra rice and soup! 😋

Since 369 changed to a new location,
the prices have shot up like a roller coaster, crying face.
Although the flavors and dishes have improved quite a bit,
the pricing completely relies on the boss lady’s judgment.
There's no basis for it, just a feeling.
So even if you get the same dishes with about the same portion size,
the price could still vary by tens of dollars.
For example, this plate of food plus half a bowl of rice
had similar quantities on two consecutive days;
one was 135, the other was 160...
the difference is equivalent to one serving of Kung Pao chicken.
I was a bit surprised that it only differed by 25 NT dollars
which I find a bit hard to accept.
The advantage of the dishes is that they're very fresh.
The cooking style is stir-fry level, quick and high heat,
and each dish has just the right flavor.
Basically, you won’t hit a dud.
Recently, I wanted to eat a bit healthier,
so coming to 369 allows for freedom in choosing portion sizes.
I especially recommend the stir-fried sweet potato leaves,
the leaves used are very fresh and tender,
with a slightly salty flavor and not overly oily.
There are still some really good aspects here!
It's just that since the boss lady sets prices based on her preferences and judgment,
without weighing or using tools for pricing,
you need to be careful in choosing your dishes,
or you might end up ordering hundreds worth!

"Songjiang Buffet" is located near the Songjiang Nanjing Station, about a 5-minute walk from Exit 3. Since I wasn't sure what to have for dinner, this buffet happened to catch my eye. I thought I might as well grab some buffet food, with vegetables, meat, and white rice, it's a bountiful meal!
On a Sunday evening around 5 PM, the variety of dishes was not as diverse as I had imagined, probably around 30-35 types. Compared to other buffets I’ve previously visited, it felt a bit lacking.
Here, you can freely take as much or as little as you want, with no limits on the portions of each dish. It's quite suitable for those who want a variety of dishes but don’t actually have a big appetite.
However, the billing method here seems to be less transparent. It's not directly based on weight but rather the staff observes your plate and gives a rough estimate on the cost.
I casually filled a bento box, about half with vegetables and half with meat, plus a bowl of white rice, totaling $150. I personally felt it was a bit expensive.
Here are my thoughts on the flavors of the dishes:
Cold Smoked Tofu - quite tasty and goes well with rice.
Stir-fried Mushrooms - okay, quite standard.
Tofu - I tried two different preparations of tofu but was not very satisfied with either.
Cauliflower - very soft, the texture was poor, not great, and I won’t be ordering it again.
Cabbage - the taste was okay, but it was noticeably greasy.
Water Lily - it was the vegetable I was most satisfied with; it had a nice crunch.
I ordered two types of meat: Kung Pao Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken - both were well-seasoned and in large chunks, I approve.
Overall, I found about 80% of the dishes' flavors acceptable, though the price was a tad high.

🍚 Kungfu Taiwanese buffet inherited from 𝟰𝟬 years
Generally talking about buffets
One is high-end 𝗯𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝘁 and the other is self-service lunch shop
Master Deng is somewhere in the middle.
Sublimate home-cooked food into a successful one
Enjoy great taste at a moderate price
Every dish has the chef’s cooking spirit in it👨🏻🍳
The typhoon passed through today
The company that was baptized by flooding was in a mess💦
I have no choice but to eat out
It unexpectedly turned into a small gathering with some colleagues🥰
The reason why I chose this one
Mainly because we all like to eat vegetables🥬
Several colleagues and I try our best not to eat starch at certain meals a day.
Chef Deng uses a semi-buffet style (special person to pick up the dishes)
It can meet everyone’s needs for a balanced and rich meal✨
The key flavors are really good too🤤
It has also been rated as one of 66 specialty restaurants in Asia.

It feels like a lot of effort is put into running the cooking industry
Therefore, even if you open many branches (which is also common in department stores)
Quality control is really impeccable🌟

Affordable buffet lunch near Tainan University of Technology. The taste is stable and the dishes are rich. It can also be served with marinade and preserved vegetables without the main meal. It is a savior! The key point is that the price is not like some buffets, where prices are shouted all over the place. Basically, you fill up the grid with a bento and three dishes, and then pair it with a main meal. The price will be as shown on the price list on the wall, so you don’t have to worry about being yelled at by the bosses. The taste is not bad, people who live nearby or students and working people can come here for a meal! However, please note that their pork ribs taste a bit sweet. If you can't tolerate it, you can choose chicken legs or fish steaks~
Giving three stars does not mean it is not good. This restaurant is suitable for filling your stomach after class or work. Although it is not a gourmet food and it does not have gorgeous decoration, I have thought about it for a long time and decided to give it three stars. Four stars for one, but seeing that fooday’s standard for three stars is that you can eat here occasionally, I’ll follow the platform’s advice and give it stars! Overall but still highly recommended!
The door is a bit inconspicuous and may not be easy for some people to walk in (it's not clear from the outside what it looks like inside, just a thick-looking door)
The boss is a very enthusiastic uncle, and the holiday business in the work area is still good.
There are basic coffee items. The cake cabinet seems to have no fixed items. The boss also said that there are cinnamon rolls (not in the cake cabinet). From the google reviews, it seems that cinnamon rolls are the signature of the store.
Since I don’t eat cinnamon rolls, I ordered raw milk cheesecake with a hot latte.
Let me start by saying that there is no problem with the taste of the latte. The score is 4/5.
But for a coffee shop, this spiritual latte art score can only be given 0/5.
It’s almost the same as when I first started to learn latte art.
Raw milk cheesecake portion score 2/5
Not recommended, the taste is not solid and tastes like yogurt
The taste is very different from what is generally found in high-quality dessert bakeries nowadays. I don’t like it.
The atmosphere of the whole store is very comfortable. If you want to find a place to sit, it is highly recommended.
Order a latte (and maybe a cinnamon roll)
It should be the most recommended buffet near Linsen North Road. The price is very affordable and the food is delicious. Like in the photo, there is a big plate full of oily and crispy cabbage, super rice-rich Shacha pork, and soft and tender fried pig. Liver, springy and solid braised pork belly, sweet beans and dates, preserved eggs with salted egg flavor, stir-fried broccoli and sausages. I don’t think I can leave the store without paying 200 for a buffet outside. Beauty actually only costs 125! It’s really good news for the common people!
There is a large bucket of egg drop soup at the back of the store that you can take for yourself. You have to clean it up after eating and recycle the plates. The small disadvantage is that the dishes are basically the same every day, but there are already many choices. You can find yourself after eating a few times. My favorite dish, so it’s not a problem.
Abei, who counts the money, will flip the dishes with tongs to see if there is any hidden meat. This is a very common situation in buffets. Last time, I encountered someone trying to hide shrimps in vegetables. I can only say that their prices are very fair. , I hope everyone will stop being greedy for petty advantages~
Ps: The environment in the store is generally clean. I have only seen dead cockroaches on the floor once many times. It must be that the dining space is being maintained.

Buffets are even more important to me than convenience stores because you can choose the items you want to eat and even the portions you want. If there is a delicious buffet near your home or work, you will really save money. Save a lot of time thinking about what to eat
This "Zhongzheng Buffet" is located near Ximen Station, only a 3-minute walk from Exit 4. If you arrive at noon on weekdays, it is full of people, and the business is super good!
In addition to takeout, there are also many seats here for dine-in use. The environment is clean and tidy. After observing it, I found that most of the dine-in customers seem to be uncles and aunts~
I picked up a few dishes I wanted to eat at random, including king oyster mushrooms, edamame, eggplant, spicy tofu, cabbage, braised cabbage, lion's head, sweet and sour pork ribs, and half a bowl of rice. The total was $110. It depends on what the clerk has. Put the lunch box on the scale, so it should be weighed. A bowl of rice is $10.
Dishes evaluation
Pleurotus eryngii: The aroma of garlic hits your mouth as soon as you enter it. It tastes so good that you eat a lot of them without realizing it. Highly recommended!
Edamame: There are also some peanuts. Although it is fried with taro, which I hate, it doesn’t have the taste of taro. It’s delicious~
Spicy tofu: It’s very flavorful and spicy, and it’s spicier than I expected. I’ll still want to try this next time, but it’s more about the taste.
Cabbage: The fried cabbage is a bit salty and oily. Although it is still delicious, it would be better to eat it with white rice.
Braised cabbage: not as salty as cabbage, but still a little oily
Lion head: The texture and taste are more like gongwan. It is solid and not quite the same as the lion head as originally imagined, but it is still delicious.
Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs: This is my favorite meat in the buffet restaurant. This one has no bones at all, which is great. The taste is not as sweet and sour as expected. You will feel a little tired after eating the fourth one.
Eggplant: It’s something I didn’t dare to eat when I was a kid, but I loved it when I grew up. Their eggplants are not too soft and have a good texture and taste.
Overall, the price is acceptable. It's not the kind of buffet that makes you dumbfounded when you hear the prices told by the clerk. The taste of the food is also average. Because it is near the company, I am expected to visit often~
I have heard many times that there is a staff restaurant at Songshan Airport.
Cheap dishes are also good
In fact, I have looked for it several times
It turned out to be the boarding and alighting point for domestic flights.
You can enter the smoking area next to it and the signs are not very clear.
It's really hard to find. Just walk down when you see the awning next to the sign.
Just a general buffet concept
The fried pork ribs are very crispy and don’t taste bad if they get cold.
The store clerk has a great attitude
It seems like you have to pay extra for extra meals.
But 90 yuan for three dishes, one soup and one main course is cheaper than eating in the terminal
