Simple dishes such as ang chow pork (紅糟肉), a pork cutlet marinated in red yeast rice, smoked shark (鯊魚煙), or cold cut chicken (白斬雞), show Lvsang's quality immediately. These, among many other dishes are presented at a glass-fronted counter just inside the door, where guests are encouraged to place their orders; more complex dishes are prepared behind the scenes.
Most dishes are between NT$120 and NT$180, with a small number of exceptions (the steamed fish is NT$250). Portions are small and two people can easily handle four or five dishes. Excellent kumquat tea is available for free.

Splendor is a somewhat classy and highly recommended buffet restaurant. The designers of the restaurant clearly understood the distraction that a wide variety of food causes diners, and as a result there is plenty of space to move about when going up for a fourth or fifth helping.
The buffet runs the gamet of southeast Asian cuisine - including Thai salads, Japanese sushi and sashimi, Korean kimchi and Cantonese dim sum - with a little American-style prime rib and roast ham thrown in for good measure. There is also an impressive salad bar.
If you can fit dessert in, there are eight varieties of Haagen-Dazs ice cream and a staggering variety of sweets. The restaurant offers bottomless beer and cheap red and white wine. The Taipei Times reminds patrons to drink responsibly.
