In Memoriam:
At one time, Mercy was as good as it gets: a great buffet at good price, and personal service (from the manager!). In addition, once a month there was live entertainment: Chinese traditional song. But then came a management change...I'm told this is common - good managers frequently start their own business.
The Public Vegetarian Club was a modest-sized version of Taiwan eateries. It was a relaxing break from commercial eateries and one of the few places you could get a small, cheap meal (but for big meals, restaurant buffets were a better value). But their place seems to have closed down. The list below is taken from a much larger list, graciously provided by the Club. Visit them if you can find them.
