Taipei is a dream come true for food lovers, with endless options from street snacks to Michelin-starred feasts. But if you're looking for the best buffet experiences in Taipei, this guide is for you.
We’ve narrowed it down to the top three luxury buffets in the city:
✅ Xiang A Joy – high-altitude elegance with over 300 dishes
✅ InParadise – a sky-high buffet with stunning views of Taipei 101
✅ Xuji – a premium Japanese-style buffet with ingredients flown in fresh from Japan
Whether you're here for the seafood, the sushi, or the skyline, here’s everything you need to know (plus how to book directly via Klook — especially handy for overseas visitors!).
1. Xiang A Joy (饗 A Joy): The Pinnacle of Buffet Luxury
Known as the best buffet in Taiwan, Xiang A Joy offers over 300 exquisite dishes across eight dining zones. It’s located on a high floor, giving you sweeping views of Taipei while you dine. When you visit, I highly recommend prioritizing the three most popular areas: Fengchao (Cold Seafood), Shitao (Sushi), and Ranran (Teppanyaki).
Fengchao Zone: Cold Seafood Paradise
Fengchao is where Xiang A Joy truly shines, offering a stunning array of cold seafood that changes with the seasons and is delivered fresh from the port. The standout here is the freshly shucked Japanese oysters — prized for their clean, sweet flavour and silky texture. There’s no trace of fishiness, just pure, ocean-fresh indulgence.
Alongside them, you'll find a luxurious spread that includes snow crab legs, Canadian golden crab, Taiwanese red crab, and large tiger prawns, all beautifully presented and replenished throughout the day.
Shitao Zone: Premium Seared Sushi & Hand Rolls
Shitao is a dream come true for sushi lovers. This zone specialises in seared nigiri and hand-rolled sushi, each made fresh right before your eyes.
Expect indulgent cuts like bluefin tuna belly, snow crab, and seared halibut flank, all served over perfectly seasoned rice. The balance of textures and flavours in every bite makes this one of the most popular sections — and once you try it, you’ll understand why.
Ranran Zone: Live Teppanyaki at Its Finest
At Ranran, the focus is on made-to-order teppanyaki prepared with premium ingredients and expert technique.
Here, lobster is pan-fried to perfection, scallops from Hokkaido are delicately seared, and live South African abalone is cooked just right to preserve its natural sweetness. Every dish is served hot off the grill, capturing the rich, smoky aroma and tender textures that define a truly great teppanyaki experience.
Manman Jinze Zone: Coffee & Cocktails by Simple Kaffa
For a refined break between courses, the Manman Jinze area offers boutique coffee and cocktails in collaboration with the world-renowned Simple Kaffa.
The coffee is full-bodied, aromatic, and expertly brewed, while the creative cocktails add a playful, sophisticated touch to your meal. Whether you’re winding down or gearing up for dessert, this is the perfect place to pause and savour the moment.
A Joy | Must-Try Dishes
If you're visiting for the first time, there are a few standout dishes that truly showcase the level of quality at A Joy. The freshly shucked Japanese oysters are an absolute essential, as are the grilled lobster and scallops prepared to order.
For sushi lovers, the seared A5 Wagyu beef nigiri is an unforgettable bite, and the grilled king crab legs offer a sweet, meaty finish that feels both indulgent and satisfying.
A Joy | Restaurant Environment
The design of Xiang A Joy is just as impressive as the food. The space is divided into four conceptual themes — Mountain, Sea, City, and Origin — creating a multi-sensory experience through aesthetics, sound, aroma, and cuisine.
Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with natural light and offer panoramic views across Taipei’s skyline. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just treating yourself, the warm, modern interiors make every visit feel like a special occasion.

Booking a table at Xiang A Joy is no easy feat — this iconic buffet fills up fast, not just on weekends but even during weekday lunches. If you’re planning to experience it for yourself, be sure to reserve well in advance. Previously, overseas visitors were limited to making bookings up to a month ahead via the official website, which made planning a challenge.
The good news? You can now secure your table easily through Klook! As the exclusive overseas booking partner for the Feast Hotel Group, Klook lets you lock in your dining experience without the hassle or the wait.
2. InParadise (饗饗 INPARADISE): Buffet with a View
InParadise operates on the exciting concept that "every section is a standalone restaurant". Located in the high-rises of either the Xinyi District (on the 46th floor of Breeze Xinyi) or Xinzhuang (on the 39th floor of i-Tower), many seats at the Xinyi location offer fantastic distant views of Taipei 101.
InParadise | Must-Try Dishes
The buffet features seven primary areas, from sashimi and sushi to barbecue and desserts. The two most popular areas are Feng Dahai (Seafood, Sashimi, Sushi) and Da Kuai Di (French Teppanyaki).
Feng Dahai Must-Eats
The signature nigiri sushi here is the reigning champion. It features warm vinegared rice topped with rich salmon belly, beef, scallops, or flounder fin, which, when seared, releases an intoxicating aroma.
You also have to try the snow crab legs; their consumption volume is staggering because the meat is so delicately sweet. If you dine during weekend lunch/dinner or weekday dinner, keep an eye out for the massive grilled Saroma oysters from Hokkaido.
Da Kuai Di Must-Eats
This is the place for meat lovers. You can find freshly pan-seared bone-in short rib with red wine sauce and oven-roasted ribeye steak—both are incredibly tender with generous marbling. The golden pan-fried scallops paired with mentaiko (pollock roe) sauce are also a seafood favorite.
Other Favorites
Don't skip the crispy deep-fried tempura, made with large, sweet shrimp. For dessert, the signature "Cloud Soufflé" is a must-have; it’s fluffy and delicate when served warm, especially when layered with ice cream and honey.
Atmosphere and Pricing
Both InParadise locations are highly accessible, being close to MRT stations. The use of floor-to-ceiling windows makes the space bright and provides an exceptional view, enhancing your dining experience both visually and gastronomically. I love that they place the food counters toward the center, ensuring that you, the customer, get the best window views

Due to its popularity, you might need to book InParadise up to two months ahead. Luckily, as an overseas customer, you no longer need to rely only on phone calls or website bookings; you can easily book through Klook, the exclusive overseas online partner.
InParadise offers three meal options: Lunch, Afternoon Tea, and Dinner, with separate rates for adults (12+), children (6-11), and toddlers
3. Xuji (旭集): Premium Japanese Dining
Xuji is branded as a premium Japanese cuisine buffet, sourcing ingredients that are flown directly from Japan or shipped fresh daily from local ports. Its concept focuses on the essence of Japanese cooking styles, featuring nine distinct sections, many of which offer made-to-order dishes.
Dining Highlights You Must TryThe nine zones cover every aspect of washoku (traditional Japanese cuisine). Here are the key areas you should visit:
Sheng Sheng (Sashimi & Seafood): This is a must-visit for seafood enthusiasts, offering daily fresh catches from Taiwan and Penghu, plus air-freighted Japanese imports. I especially recommend the snow crab legs and the British brown crab.
Yun Zhi (Charcoal Grill): This zone features items cooked over direct charcoal heat, such as pork belly, beef tongue, and sweetfish. The high heat ensures the meat is crispy on the outside while retaining its fresh, tender flavor inside.
Zhi Shao (Teppanyaki): This section offers refined teppanyaki, perfectly grilling items like large tiger prawns, steak, and pan-fried scallops.
Zhi Zhu (Simmered/Soup): For something warm and comforting, try the instant-cooked clam broth. They use plump, high-quality clams cooked fresh in a savory, mild broth right on the spot.
Xuji | Atmosphere and Pricing
Xuji has seven branches across Taiwan, all conveniently located. Each location incorporates local elements with Japanese aesthetics to create a spacious and elegant atmosphere. For instance, the Tianmu branch uses a "Japanese-Western style," incorporating geometric lines and stained glass reminiscent of Japan’s Taisho period.
The Xinyi Breeze branch, meanwhile, is designed like an "international luxury boutique window," showcasing a contemporary Japanese feel. Some locations even offer special dishes tailored to the region
