Q Square B3 Food Court
京站時尚廣場 B3 食樂大道 · show this name to taxi drivers
The basement food court of Q Square, the mall above Taipei Bus Station, connected underground to Taipei Main Station. Dozens of counters serve one-person meals, from chicken soup and beef noodles to a pay-by-weight vegetarian buffet and Taiwanese douhua, with Japanese chains as a backup. It's an easy meal alone in any weather, but weekend mealtimes are packed with bus passengers.

How to order, step by step
- From Taipei Main Station, follow signs for the Civic Blvd. exit and Zhongshan Underground Mall to the Q Square B1 entrance, then take the escalators down to B3. Electronic lockers on B1 and B2 can hold a bag
- Walk around the counters first. Most sell one-person meals with the price posted
- At busy times, find a seat at the shared tables before you order
- Order and pay at the counter. Payment methods differ by counter, so carry some cash
- At 明德素食園, the vegetarian buffet, fill a plate yourself and pay by weight at the scale. It is not all-you-can-eat. Rice, soup or noodles are added at the counter
- Wait for your food or your number, then return your tray when you finish
What to order solo: Chicken soup or beef noodles at 齊媽媽雞湯 牛肉麵 (about NT$180-220 on 2026 visits), a pay-by-weight vegetarian plate at 明德素食園 (about NT$160 with soup), or a bowl of douhua at 小南門傳統豆花 (about NT$60-70). Check the posted prices. The vegetarian dishes aren't labeled, so ask about egg or dairy if you avoid them.
Best time to go alone: Weekdays before 12:00 or 14:00-17:00. Weekend and holiday lunch and dinner are the hardest times to find a seat.
