I really like this location as the staffs are very friendly and helpful, for many occasions they went out of their way to make sure you have a great experience, such as yesterday when I went in for a quick late lunch, the place was packed and not may tables left, so my partner when ahead to grab a table while I put in my order and pick-up. As my order was ready, I had to carry both trays to find where my partner is...and half way through a lady server saw how I am trying my best with my balancing act came to my rescue! So nice to have service staffs that actually notice what is happening around! Kudos to all the hardworking and friendly staffs here!! I hope to explore more items when I am in the area!

It's sushi time! We had a friend in town and decided we'd had enough of the run-of-the-mill sushi…read morechains and headed to an independent restaurant for a different range of sushi. We had a delightful time looking at the menu, deciding what to order and settled on quite a few different types of sushi, sashimi and grilled items with a range of salmon, yellow tail, toro, eel and the best plate of the night - the volcano roll. It was spicy, succulent and divine. The other highlight were the grilled mushrooms. Perfectly baked in tin foil, they were buttery and tasted even better with a dusting of chilli powder. We ventured out and tried a bacon wrapped lycée - it sounded like a good idea. Unfortunately the bacon let down the dish. It was the thick type of bacon and tasted a bit too much like a slab of ham. The waiters lacked a little common sense and muddled up our orders quite a few times. If you have a table of five people, 3 pieces of salmon sushi is not going to be enough to fill hungry bellies. They did redeem themselves, in my books anyway, by "messing up" and bringing us two plates of volcano rolls instead of one. We happily paid. My verdict, go for the volcano roll, but it's not a high restaurant on my list to return to.

The food here is typical Japanese izakaya (居酒屋) style. I know drinks is a huge part of that culture, but I cannot comment much on the drinks menu since I didn't drink this time. Food is the usual you would expect at a family style izakaya, nothing overly innovative or ultra high quality. Food is decent and within expectation; in general very good value for money; the bill for two was just HK$4xx!

Ladies & Gents, may I introduce u to "Snow Garden" where I had my most memorable fine dining…read moreexperience while I was hanging out in HK being a tourist. Snow Garden offers authentic Shanghai cuisine and was even listed in Michelin's Bib Gourmand 2014 & 2015. This label indicates that the restaurant offers good food at moderate prices. Still, don't expect a budget eatery but relatively upscale prices for quality food (price compared with local restaurants). A Chinese tea charge of 15 hk dollar / person (1.8 €) will also be added to ur final bill. Before "Snow Garden", my knowledge of the Shanghai cuisine was nearly non-existent but love was in the air after the first bite! Was is the crispy eel or the crispy rice that won my heart? Gosh, I sampled so many dishes and they all pleased my taste buds. Surprisingly the restaurant was quite empty on the night we arrived. Walk-ins will definitely be warmly welcomed. Maybe the price tag is a little bit too scary for some locals? Of course I bookmarked "Snow Garden" and ooh yeah, I just entered in a love affair with Shanghai food!

In a world where I have no kitchen and there is a barrage of cheap food at every corner, eating…read morehealthy has become my number one mission. I promised my fiancé I wouldn't get fat, but every day it's getting tougher and I'm getting bigger. How can you throw money down on a HKD $90 (CAD $15) salad when next door, you can get a HKD $30 (CAD $5) bowl of noodles?? I've always found it ridiculous that uncooked vegetables cost so much more than everything else. Minimal effort, maximum price. So I had to start thinking outside of the salad box. I was aimlessly wandering around my hood in search of cheap food, and lo and behold, I found this place. Dumplings are healthy, right? I choose to believe they are. Especially when boiled and made with veggies. 8 Ways isn't just for dumplings, although that's what they headline with. They've got a bunch of traditional Taiwanese fare like noodles and soup as well. With Western healthy options, they tend to take a bite out of your wallet. Asian food in Asia is much more forgiving. 10 dumplings, one or two flavors, and a drink for HKD $38 (CAD $7). They've got your standard pork dumplings but also things like curry and kimchi. You probably don't see chives often unless they're on top of a baked potato, but they make a good dumpling filler! For that extra boost of green, add a plate of leafy veg for HKD $10 (less than CAD $2). Drinks are also a bit more creative than your standard coke or sprite. Soy milk, plum juice, or bubble tea for a little extra. The space is small (as usual) and the tables are sticky, so if you want to eat in, it's far from a luxurious experience. But it's cheap, it's fast, and it's good. Or just do as the salaryman does, and get take out. Hong Kong is a beautiful food scene with every type of cuisine other the sun. So it was only reasonable they'd have SOMETHING that overlaps healthy and cheap. Good news is that 8 Way Dumplings is a franchise so you're never far from one! Hopefully by the time I'm back in Toronto, I could say I "8 my Way" to a healthy victory. (25/100) - 2017

This restaurant offers a wide variety of vegan dim sum options that are sure to impress even the most discerning palates. One of the highlights of the menu at Veggie Kingdom is their vegan shrimp dumplings. These dumplings were incredibly flavorful and had a texture that was very similar to traditional shrimp dumplings. The wrapper were thin and made to order. It was a true testament to the skill and creativity of the chefs to create such a delicious alternative. Another standout dish was the gold rim veggie dumplings. These dumplings were not only visually stunning but also had a delightful combination of flavors. The filling was packed with a medley of vegetables that made each bite a true delight. The steam mushroom rice rolls, and they were simply divine. The delicate rice rolls were filled with tender mushrooms and accompanied by a delectable sauce that added a burst of flavor to each bite. However, the real stars of the meal were the shrimp toast and the radish puff pastry. The shrimp toast had a crispy exterior, complemented by a savory and satisfying filling with vegan mayo at the bottom. The radish puff pastry, on the other hand, had a flaky crust, and the radish filling was rich and flavourful. These dishes were definite winners and left a lasting impression. Veggie Kingdom is a haven for vegan dim sum lovers. With its wide variety of options and superb execution, this restaurant sets a new standard for vegan cuisine. Whether you are a vegan looking for a delicious and satisfying meal or simply want to explore the world of plant-based dim sum, Veggie Kingdom is a must-visit destination in Hong Kong. There are planty of options.

It is a great option for anyone looking for a good takeout or quick snack without breaking the bank. The quality is consistent. The store is open early in the day. While the rice rolls were just average, I found the turnip cake and taro cake to be above average! The dim sum variety was decent. The stir-fried noodles were also good, though nothing too extraordinary. It is great to have so many vegan options in a small shop. One of my personal favourites was the mushroom congee. It was comforting and packed with flavour. With many locations available, Everyday Vegetarian Eats is a convenient option! Everyday Vegetarian is dim-sumthing special.

We went there last evening for dinner. It was earlyish and they weren't as busy but by the time we…read morewere done, the place was filling up. Predominantly vegan, the place can be described as ovo lacto vegetarian. Jasmine tea, preserved vegetable dumplings with broth, fried noodles with vegetables, fried rice with chinese mahogany and an eggplant claypot was on the table. With a side of pickled cucumbers and mushrooms. The claypot eggplant was the star, flavorful and very tender. Spicier would've made the dish star-rier. It didn't occur to me that the fried noodles would be actually fried and not stir fried. Abundant mushrooms in that one. The fried rice was nicely done, crisp vegetables and all. The white pepper brings out the flavors. The dumplings were good, thin wrappers and mostly mushrooms in there. The broth was simple but tasted good, and I think it was the white pepper that did it again. They have non-Taiwanese / international dishes on the menu as well, so that maybe for another time.

One of a few pure vegetarian restaurants in Wan Chai. The set up of this place for lunch is similar…read moreto Happy Veggies in Wan Chai and Art Veggies in Sheung Wan, but this is my favorite by far compared to the others. They're similar in the aspect that you get to choose 3 veggie dishes / sides out of 6 listed options. If you work in Wan Chai (or even just in the area) and want to grab a quick vegetarian meal, this is the place to go! I love eating here compared to the other two similar concept restaurants because the food is simply the tastiest of the three. Everything is just super flavorful and tasty. Also, unless Happy Veggies and Art Veggies, they give you a small bowl of rice in case you're the type of person that doesn't eat much rice, but then they give you the option to scoop more rice and soup. Unlimited rice and soup, at your service! The other locations only give you one bowl or rice and one bowl of soup. THUS, if you're the type to eat a lot, you will certainly get the bang for your buck here. I always leave this place pretty full and satisfied. Aside from the veggie sides being yummier than the other places, the portions are larger too for the same price. So... even though Happy Veggies is closer to my office, I still rather take a bit longer time to walk here and eat Liza Veggies' food. :) *FYI - they display their daily veggie options in Chinese... Thus if you can't read Chinese, I recommend coming here with a friend that can read Chinese OR just look around tables to see what others are eating to get a sense of what you would like to get. It is certainly not ideal for non-Chinese readers, but promise it is worth it! My Chinese reading skills aren't all that great too, but I still come back time after time. It's a testament to their food la. ;)
