Inside and out, Ruo Shui Tea House looks no different from most teahouses. The interior is spacious, decorated with Chinese-style knick-knacks and calligraphy scrolls, making it hard to imagine that this place serves vegetarian cuisine. The owner says that he opened a vegetarian restaurant simply because his family members are all vegetarians. Apart from the usual tea drinks (NT$30-NT$60) and flower teas (NT$120), there are also dim sum, noodle and rice dishes available, including dishes suitable for lacto-ovo vegetarians. Popular dishes included Spicy and Sour Soup Dumplings (NT$70), Sesame Oil Noodles in Soup (NT$50), Medicinal/ Delicate/ Miso Hot Pots (NT$150) and Curry Fried Rice (NT$70). Dim Sum dishes include their homemade Pickled Vegetables (NT$45), Deep Fried Tofu (NT$45) and others. Savory Glutinous Rice Balls (NT$50) is also a favorite among customers. Smoking is allowed in the outdoor area and they also provide a food delivery service.
