Vege Creek is a Taiwanese vegetarian restaurant brand specializing in made-to-order plant-based noodle bowls and braised luwei dishes.[1] Founded in 2012 by Paul Hsu and his friend, the brand originated in Taipei's Yanji Street near Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and later expanded to multiple locations, including branches in shopping malls. As of the mid-2020s, Vege Creek operates approximately nine stores across Taiwan, including in Taipei and Taichung.[2] It is Taiwan's second largest vegan restaurant chain after Loving Hut.[3]
Vege Creek is known for a Taiwanese-style self-selection dining model (自助式) in which customers choose individual vegetables, mushrooms, tofu products, and noodles before the ingredients are cooked together in a shared broth. A distinctive feature of its stores is a "vegetable wall", where bundles of leafy greens—such as sweet potato leaves, bok choy, water spinach, and Chinese cabbage—are displayed vertically for customers to select. Other ingredients, including mushrooms, fermented tofu, rice cakes, konjac, pumpkin, and various plant-based balls, are pre-packaged and priced individually.[4]
