Central style food without the Central prices. It's a bit hidden because it's on the second floor ("1st" floor HK) of a pretty ugly building. But once you're in there the ambiance is great and they have great coffee and wifi. The gym attached is also fun if you want to drop in for some HIIT or Muy Thai classes. Highly recommended!

What I do like are the sandwich options which are pretty sizable and come with salad or soup. The side salad is just okay but I like the soup options, since it's hard to find Western style soups. The price isn't too bad either, especially for the neighborhood since it's just takeout. If you work nearby it's probably a good option for you to take back to your desk for a quick lunch.

Decent lunch spot that actually gives very large portions for the price…read more Gluten-free, vegetarian/vegan friendly spot because they have several different dishes, or what they call "toppings" here. I chose the "3 toppings" order which comes out to be $95hkd or ~$12usd for a lot of food that I couldn't even finish it all. The "toppings" I could choose from were things like tofu red curry, fresh rice rolls, and stir fried veggies. Nice for a work lunch or a healthy alternative with fresh veggies. There's ample dining space inside, just have to walk up a narrow staircase.

My friend suggested this place as she saw an online article for afternoon tea for two for HKD88…read more(about USD11). That's a great price, and I figure if even the food is awful, it's still not much more than two drinks. As others said, this place is somewhat a hidden gem. Its entrance is a narrow commercial building entrance on Nathan Road, right by Hillwood Road, closer to Jordan than TST. Located on the second floor, the big windows look out to verdant shades, totally blocking out the hustle and bustle outside. The price of afternoon tea has increased, but at HKD128, still a fair price if no longer a steal. We ordered flavored fresh-squeezed lemonades (or you can choose tea, coffee or soda), and our food arrived on a wooden board: two hamburger sliders, two salmon croissants, bacon wrapped asparagus, mac & cheese, BBQ fries and brownies. All is quite tasty except for the mac & cheese, which I find really bland. Applegreen bills itself as offering Californian cuisine. Their menu has lots of salad, and pasta ranging from carbonara to tequila lime chicken to mentaiko. There are also carne asado quesadilla, Jamaican chicken wings, jambalaya flatbread and more, just to show how international the menu is.

My last review of 2015 goes to one of my favorite not so hidden gems in Hong Kong! Located on the…read moreborder of Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui, Applegreen is one of my favorite lunch spots. For Hong Kong, this restaurant is quite spacious. I've always been able to grab a seat every time I came in the afternoon. I've tried many different dishes here and usually it doesn't disappoint! What I like the most about Applegreen is that they're not just a salad house. They have a pretty wide array of dishes and drinks on the menu. But of course, if you want to eat "healthier", they have plenty of salads to choose from. Most of their salad has "half" servings, which is actually misleading. Their half portion is enough for 2-3 people if you order it with a second or third dish. Their "full" serving of the salad is humongous. Probably more suited for 3-5 people. Just be warned! Also as a tip, if you order salad you can request FREE banana bread to go with it. For their other dishes, they have your typical pastas, but what I like is their Flatbreads. Think of it as a very thin crust pizza. Quite tasty and large in portion. They also have some more unique items from their varying breakfast menu, such as honey glazed bacon, eggs benedict, or other experimental items. As for their drinks, most of their tea-juices have unlimited refill! Surprisingly an uncommon thing in Hong Kong. Applegreen is moderately priced. But for the portion and quality, its a pretty good deal. Its also conveniently located by the Jordan MTR station.

I've eaten a lot of poki at this point, so this place was a bit of a let down for seafood when HK…read moreis so close to the sea. Maybe it's because I came right before closing, but a few things happened: - I ordered a bowl that was supposed to be tuna, but received a salmon poki bowl after waiting 5-10 minutes. They offered to replace it. I waited another 5 minutes. -the tuna bowl was missing the additional seaweed salad. I had to ask for it again. I waited another 2-4 minutes. -the tuna bowl wasn't that fresh, which was disappointing given how close we are to the sea and seafood markets.

Poke bowl in central!? I miss California poke bowl. If you…read morehave ever been to Cali to try their poke bowl, I would say theirs have the best. Anyways, back to pololi review: I used Google map to get here, so it's pretty easily and fairly accurate. Cute little restaurant that you can't miss :) Once you are inside, you will realized the a/c is not strong enough, which got me a little worried cause they are selling raw food. $90hkd for a bowl with two protein options, not including any sides. I was hoping their style could be more like California where you can pick any sides for free and at least have 10 sides for you to choose from. I like the flavor that they've created, especially avo-mayo. I think the Mayo actually helps breakdown the tenderness of the fish, so it's not as chewy as the other favor tunas. And sadly, they only have one type of flavor for salmon :( Overall this bowl got me full and didn't get me sick good flavor, clean, decent price. 4 stars

***Vegan and Non-Veg: Both are good here***…read more It's a good thing that the food is fairly customizable here ...e.g. The Cajun Chicken with customized salad. I added 2 types of Salad to the Cajun chicken - 1) Kale Salad (Kale, Pomegranate and Avocado dressing)..... AND; 2) Quinoa Salad (Quinoa, Brown rice, Roasted Pumpkin Seed, Dried Cranberries). With soooo many different ingredients mixed together, there is always a risk that you may not get any taste out of it.... but frankly it all tasted quite good! Among the hot dishes, the Kale Crab Rice was very tasty and had a generous amount of Crab meat.At just $108, this crab dish seems like a "steal" to me... coz normally I'd think Crab meat can really push the price of a dish up. This crab meat seemed to be fresh and was quite tasty. Wouldn't mind going for it again

Fresh salads for the win!…read more The ingredients are all pretty fresh. However, you only get one main (protein) and two sides (veggies). It is meat heavy here, so the only protein you're going to be able to get as a vegetarian is cheese. I do wish they have a tofu option. If you want more, you can add additional ingredients for an additional cost. The french fries are skinny and yummy. It comes with a yellow aioli. Personally, it tastes better with the honey mustard dressing that I got on the side for the salad!

On the contrary. This is the time to really nourish yourself. So when I stumbled onto this place, off the beaten path, I'm at the end of a lovely little alley-like street, I was thrilled. The decor is transporting, but the food is what really shines. The sous vide egg and truffled mushroom dish was outstanding. And the chicken curry with quinoa was spot on. Simple, delicious and nutritious. Nailed it. Right next door is a fascinating bottle shop with local innovative foods and beverages of all sorts, so don't miss out on that if you go. The place across the street looks pretty amazing too. Love this area. Love this place. Highly recommended. Can't wait to go back.

I have yet to try the food, but one afternoon I had a sudden craving for a smoothie and Yelp led me here. After considering the various smoothie options (a plus in my book!) I ended up with the Berry Pump. Since it uses ingredients like almond milk and coconut, it's definitely more nutty than fruity but I enjoyed it nonetheless. What's nice is that they have stickers they put on every cup that has all ingredients listed along with nutritional information if you're counting calories. If you choose to sit towards the back (as opposed to the front bar area where you can people-watch the escalators) you might want try their complimentary "structured living water", which is apparently not just any water.
