Excellent Scallop Salad

Went in for a quick lunch - I did arrive at 2:15 and last order was 2:30. Based on previous review I had the scallop salad and it did not disappoint- the umami of the sauce was amazing. I then had the grapefruit monkeybrain dish. Was very good - sweet and sticky with grapefruit undertone. I washed it down with the peppermint tea. I great lunch overall and I would go back just for the scallop salad.

Pros: Vegan so do not need to worry about anything, Attentive staff

Cons: Slightly higher priced

Great place!

Another huge menu with too many amazing choices! Everything I tried was delicious and I especially loved the vegan scallop salad!

This is the downside to traveling alone… I always over order as it is so it’s nice to have someone to share with! Def had leftovers after this meal.

Vegan Chinese food

Went here for my birthday dinner, it’s a cute restaurant with an extensive menu. Highly recommend making reservations! You can tell that they use fresh ingredients and the food tastes very healthy. I was able to try new dishes that I’ve never had before like vegan shark fin soup and foie gras.

Place is bomb

This place rocks. The mushroom sushi was unlike anything I’ve had. The staff took good care of me and didn’t let me go hungry. Highly recommend.

Surprisingly bad.

Service was fine, food was very expensive and awful. The soups were simple but ok, the mains were completely bland, the fake meat was just mushroom, and the pasta was completely overcooked. A very expensive meal to not finish due to how bad it was.

Pros: Quick service

Cons: Very bland and flavourless, didn't finish the meal

Modern Chinese fine-dining feel

Really enjoyed going through the menu here, which has creativity and some unique and interesting combinations.

Was able to try several dishes from the a la carte menu:
- The Karana (jackfruit) and lotus root patties from the Chef's recommendations was a special dish - plated beautifully, bit crunchy, lots of taste, with a delicious teriyaki creamy sauce.
- The mixed yam with monkey head mushroom dish in Liubiju sauce tasted great and is a good vegetable dish.
- Burdock beancurd roll Rice Vermicelli - wasn't keen on this dish. It tasted plain. The burdock beancurd roll had a mock fish taste which I didn't like.

Also tried the executive lunch set for two (HKD 398 plus service) and really enjoyed all the food. May have just been rly hungry as could have eaten more afterwards.
- We had two small appetisers which were yummy
- Tom yum soup which I highly recommend
- I was surprised by the mock prawn dish - am not usually very fond of mock meat especially one that looks real, but I rly enjoyed the texture, the tempura batter and the sauce.
- We liked the monkey head mushroom and aubergine dish, and my husband rly liked the rose BBQ pork.

Chrysanthemum tea, served in a beautiful transparent teapot, was perfect alongside the dishes.

Service was fine, environment is pleasant however on first visit my friend and I were freezing. The air con was blasting too high; we asked them to turn it down but they weren't able to as they said it centrally controlled. Bring a scarf and cardigan... next time I was prepared!

Seen some reviews saying it's not vegan, however the name of the restaurant was showing on the menus as Emerald vegan, with a tagline saying "All our foods are egg free, dairy free, allium free".

Pros: Creative unique menu!

Cons: Strong air con - dress warm!

// 日本南瓜盅 $98 //

一個細細地嘅原個南瓜裝住啲南瓜湯🎃,邊同個蓋都留有唔少南瓜肉,南瓜夠甜,整得夠腍,口感軟綿,香濃南瓜味(˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵)

湯面頭有少少椰奶做點綴,湯濃厚,口感細滑,同樣都有香南瓜味,配埋啲南瓜肉一齊食相當香、濃、甜,直情有少少食緊甜品嘅感覺🤤。

// 玫瑰叉燒 $118 //

外層微脆,入面軟腍👾

味道方面鹹甜適中,外面有啲糖蜜甜甜地,佢其實就係比較普遍嘅好食嗰款現成素叉燒🐷,比起想像中普通,好食嘅,不過無乜驚喜。

-

// XO醬野菌菌炆新竹米粉 $118 //

食炒嘢最驚多油同重口味得滯,佢呢個炒得唔錯,唔會好油,調味啱啱好,XO醬有啲香,有少少辣🌶,菇菌夠爽菇味香,米粉口感爽口

整體唔錯,不過未算好令人驚艷。

// 純素朱古力咖啡歌劇院蛋糕 $78 //

甜品時間~🍰

呢個opera同普通嘅唔同,質感比較硬,叉拮落去放手絕對可以hold住唔郁🍴,不過並唔代表佢唔好食😇。

一層啡色同一層灰色間住間住,唔係太肯定佢係用咩材料整,不過食到幾香嘅咖啡味,應該係純素咖啡奶油忌廉🧈,灰色就應該有啲果仁碎🥜,食到啲一粒粒。

佢唔係好軟綿嗰種感覺,而係偏向實淨有咬口,咖啡味同朱古力味都夠味☕️,唔會太甜,整體係唔錯嘅。

-

服務唔錯,食品質素都ok,幾好食,但未去到好驚艷,我哋都覺得未值呢個價位,或者係我哋叫嘅呢啲未展示到佢哋嘅功力🥺。

Tasty, worth a return visit

I enjoyed this Chinese restaurant and appreciated that they did not rely on processed plant-based meat. Instead they used mushrooms and jackfruit to evoke meaty taste and texture. I plan to visit again.

Pros: Inventive dishes, Uses mushrooms

Amazing

Not 100% vegan but vegan dishes are clearly marked. Everything was incredibly flavourful - the barbecue “pork” was a highlight. So many dishes I want to try so I will probably be back again!

Great date night choice

Fantastic array of fusion cuisine- some surprising mixes but almost all very successful. All vegan menu with classic Cantonese options made vegan as well as some new French themed ones too. Great service and for non drinkers, great soft drink options too. Some portions were a little small but overall great every time we have been.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Unusual creations, Classy setting

The only Chinese vegan restaurant in LKF

Opened in December 2020. It's nice to finally see a Chinese veg restaurant that is suitable for a more business lunch option, among all the Western or Western-nish eateries in Lan Kwai Fong, Central. HKD400 plus for a 2-person lunch set, food and service were very average unfortunately but the environment is decent for a Chinese vegan restaurant. The restaurant name says vegetarian but the staff said all the food is vegan (they have another restaurant that is vegetarian in Wanchai). Personally one visit is good for me.

Awesome

Very nice place with great staff. Not completely vegan but the items with dairy are clearly marked. Would give 5 stars if completely vegan.

Pros: Reasonably priced with tons of options
