Citystar is a Hong Kong-style restaurant that serves dim sum items as well as large Cantonese dishes for sharing. Almost all their locations are open 24 hours. It's one of the well-known dim sum restaurants in Taipei. It's a good place to visit if you want that authentic huge dining-room dim sum experience, where the dim sum carts never stop being rolled around between the never-ending round tables. The fact that it's open 24 hours a day is a big draw for some clientele.

I think the best dishes to order at Citystar are their meat dishes. After that, I'd say the variety of large dishes that are meant to be shared (well, everything is meant to be shared at a dim sum establishment) come in second. I wasn't that impressed with their actual small dim sum items, as they were pricey and the dishes I tried were better at Hong Kong 茶水攤 and Tim Ho Wan 添好運. The latter I've only eaten at their Hong Kong location, not in Taipei, so I don't have a review for them. (Their Hong Kong and Macau locations won a Michelin Star.) But Citystar is bigger than all those places I just listed, so if you want that huge dining-room dim sum experience ... (I already said this)

I'm not saying to avoid Citystar—hey, I've been there six times myself, and as you can see, I'm recommending it. They have some great items, but they also have many failed items—it's a hit-and-miss place. If you order the right stuff, you'll be very satisfied, and if you don't, you'll be quite unsatisfied. My advice is to stay away from their dim sum menu and focus on the larger plates to share, especially the meat dishes on the first page of the menu.

Vegetarian options: As you scroll through the menu, you'll notice that some type of meat is mixed into every dish, even the noodle, rice, and vegetable dishes. But there is one page in the menu labeled in English: Bamboo Shoots and Vegetables, that contains solely vegetarian dishes. It's the 2nd to last page in the large-dish menu before "Have a nice meal" in my photo section below, so take a gander at it to see if it's worth your visit. I only tried one dish from that page: Sweet and Sour Vegetarian Meat with Pineapple (NT$200). It was great. But typically, dim sum is not suitable for vegetarians.
