What I thought was a quirk in translation, I ordered the bean curd sheets with vegetables thinking it was your standard tofu and vegetable dish. Not so! The taste was nothing like I ever had. The broth tasted like soybean milk but salty. It was unique but got boring after half the plate. The thing about chinese restaurants is that you have to have a mix of different dishes, and it's hard to do that when you're eating solo. So I didn't hold this against the restaurant. That's why I saw large groups throughout the restaurant enjoying the food.

There are many faux-meat options as well as more veggie based options and I think everything was well seasoned and delicious. I tried the beyond burger (teriyaki), fish ball curry, as well as the Hainanese chicken. I think the most impressive dish was the chicken because it looked the part and tasted good. The texture was on all the items was decent but you can definitely tell it's not meat - but I think it was definitely good enough if you consider the effort that went into creating the full dishes. You can grab food or snacks to-go in the little market place they have, or you can dine in with their very large menu of vegan and vegetarian options. The service is super friendly and the menu is easy to read and order from. There's also a huge diversity of items from Asian to more Western items you can most likely get your fix here. I loved the quotes on the wall and how they try to educate people about the food they serve as well as the impact that it makes. If you're in HK I'd highly recommend checking out one of their many locations around the city.

Given the limited choices for my vegan friends, this is a pretty decent restaurant. This super casual restaurant is canteen styled. You know like your average Ikea restaurant. It's nestled in the corner of Mong Kok's new shopping arcade, The Forest so it's not too busy. Which means you can sit for awhile and catch up on friend time. The seats aren't the comfiest, and the tables are small. But it'll do. It's Mong Kok after-all. There's chargers by the benches for you to charge up that mobile... or... laptop! Looking for a vegetarian bao to settle that "bao crave"? Why yes they have it!

Only one staff person spoke English, and it wasn't my waitress which raised some confusion. Even the staff person who spoke some English had problems understanding me. Ordered the "shark fin" soup and mapo tofu. Mapo tofu looked and tasted nothing like the sichuan dish I'm used to. No peppercorns and only serrano peppers. I liked it and the soup but was confused by the order. Receipt is in Chinese so I didn't understand there was a service charge applied. I tried to pay by credit card but the restaurant insisted on a $150 minimum. When i handed her a $500 bill the non-English speaking waitress said, "Big Money". She looked at me expectantly so I didn't know if I should have tipped there. I ended up leaving a tip on the table which made the manager happy when she called after me for leaving money behind. She insisted on pressing my elevator button down,

The sweet and sour "pork" was a hit for my group. So was the vegetarian sashimi platter, where we all tried to figure out what the mock meat was made of. The "jellyfish" was also really good, and it was interesting that it was in a peanut-flavored sauce. I can't really comment on service other than it seemed quick. There was never a long waiting period in between dishes. I was on vacation with my boyfriend's family, and I don't speak any Cantonese, so they took care of the communication part. I did see an Indian family while we were there, so I'm sure communication should be fine if you don't speak Cantonese. This meal was towards the end of our stay in HK and it's a good meal to cleanse your body. Afterwards, you can walk the strip on Nathan Road and go shopping - walk off your meal!

If you think Hong Kong is a good vegetarian city because it's so diverse -- not completely true if…read moreyou want to get non-Western food. I think the trap is that dishes can *sound* vegetarian, but almost all common broths and sauces contains non-vegetarian items in it. Whenever I go vegetarian, I have a hard time finding more than one item on the menu at any cha chaan teng, because I know what actually goes in it. Which is what makes these sorts of vegetarian restaurants popular. Chinese vegetarian is not just "no killing of animals". They adhere to buddhist vegetarian habits, and don't use certain pungent vegetables like onions, garlic or chives in their cooking. That said, they are also somehow ok with making vegetables look and taste like meat. Gluten puffs that is chewy like a piece of stewed chicken? Sure! Soy protein packed together and sliced like ham? Why not. That is the sort of food you will get here -- vegetarian versions of popular pan-Chinese dishes, with the protein replaced by various plant-items ranging from the innocuous (tofu) to the there's-no-way-this-is-organic. Every bite brought me such surprise, because they do resemble the original dishes -- but it also makes me think, why? Are we not worthy to have vegetarian dishes that celebrate the vegetables on their own merit? That said, if you want some Chinese dishes but don't eat meat, this isn't bad and have a lot more variety of vegetarian dishes than other Chinese places. It also isn't bad for a good karma meal on Buddha's birthday. It just isn't something I actively look forward to.

When I saw the sushi pictures of this place, I simply have to come by and try them!…read more Taking advice from other Yelpers, I came by during happy hour. Like many veg restaurants in Hong Kong, their menu reads very alike a regular restaurant, substituting any meat ingredient with a veg version. So, you get salmon, tuna, soft shelled crab, chicken, abalone, and many other things that don't sound vegetarian. When my salmon rose roll came in, I looked and looked. Even on close examination, it looks like the real thing, from the color to the texture to the white lines of fat. An amazing feat of food processing technology. So does it taste like the real thing? I always maintain that people who says that when a vegan says that the vegan cheese/ham/sausage tastes like the real thing, it's just because she has forgotten what the real thing tastes like. Short answer, no, it doesn't taste like the real thing, but it is not unpleasant either. Unlike some cardboard-like vegan, gluten free stuff that is barely palatable. I would order it again, but probably just as plain nigiri. The roll has too much mayo, and the truffle do not add much to taste. Soft shell crab is made by frying rolled up seaweed in tempura batter, which I prefer as it's more natural. They have other more traditional Chinese vegetarian dishes too, if veg sushi is not your thing.

I was afraid to even taste it till I verified it was plant based. I recommend this place. The service was fast and friendly too. Cruelty free hugs and love to you all!
