Shanzhen Haiwei Taiwanese Buffet
山珍海味台式自助餐 · show this name to taxi drivers
A classic Taiwanese pay-by-plate buffet in Ximen with lots of vegetables, tofu, eggs, braised dishes and fried food. You point at what you want, so no Chinese is needed. Staff are quick and brisk rather than chatty - that is normal here.
