This place is great! Some really lovely food at decent prices. Great meat substitutes in a range of textures. We had a sweet and sour pork today and was really tasty. The place itself is very rough around the edges but that is part of its charm. I saw a review where someone mentioned that 'fish' was on the menu. I can assure you that fish is NOT on the menu as this is a veggie restaurant if not completely vegan . As a HK raised Chinese person I can say that veggie restaurants almost always have a Buddhist ethos which doesn't encourage eating or killing or any animals or beings. So when it says 'fish' or 'pork' on the menu, it's a meat free, plant based version. I visit the every time I'm around as it's great Chinese vegan food.

I would only grant 1 star, but the rating system won't allow me to do that here. We enjoyed our meal but were disappointed to be overcharged paid HK 150 but should have only paid HK 120 . We decided not to fight it because the price was still not bad for 2 people compared to HK vegan prices overall, but after reading the reviews here that listed what others paid, it looks like they have probably raised their prices recently besides starters, there was nothing below HK 60 for mains, and even then they decided to charge us at HK 75 per dish , and perhaps we looked like chumps. If this wasn't bad enough, we did catch what looked to be fish on the menu although it's unclear...perhaps they just forgot to write veg. before dish names as with other meal items , and it looked like someone was eating shellfish when we were getting up to leave. Overall, I was disappointed...I just felt like an idiot when I left both about the fish and for being unapologetically overcharged . Updated from previous review on 2017 09 14

Ate here several times. Everything I tried is very tasty and just what I was looking to eat in town. Ended up satisfied every time. The staff is pretty friendly and the price is very good as well as the portions. This is more a local eatery than a big restaurant. Recommended!

No Frills Buddhist Chinese vegetarian food. Many dishes with mock meat, but you can find some without. The portions were huge, so recommend ordering only 1 dish per person.

Cosy local spot with decent value sets (as of July 2020 a one-person set including main, soup, and rice was $64 during peak and $54 off peak), serving a lot of classic local dishes. I had fried turnip cake and mixed mushrooms, with rice, soup, and soy milk. I’d recommend booking especially for dinner as there are only a few tables, and only one large table which seats 8-10.
