Review: This place has a huge neon sign and is very easy to spot. We went upstairs for a la carte dinner. All of the staff were very friendly and the service was very good. The meals are large, tasty and well presented at about $60HK each, they are amazing value!($8 US/$10 AUD). Us 2 girls shared the mushroom congee, the honey bbq 'pork' and the beancurd on noodles. I brought a container and took away enough for breakfast! My only complaint is the lack fresh/raw/non-oily options, and this is why they only get four cows. (the congee was one of the healthier looking choices, mind you, it was GORGEOUS!). Three meals and two jasmine teas cost $190 HK ($24/$30)...the place looks a lot more expensive than it actually is.
I am not sure whether the buffet offers more healthy options...a great excuse to go back and find out!
Pros: service&location * taste/presentation * price
Cons: lack of healthy options * * |

Review: Went for the lunch buffet, it was exceptional. They were quick to replace the food as the containers were emptied. The waffles were delicious. I highly suggest trying their lunch buffet.

Review: I really like this place even though I only manage to come here about twice a year. You tell them what type of tea you require, and off you go to the buffet. When it's crowded sometimes you have to share a table with others. The food is quite nice. Vegans should be aware that sometimes they use cream or butter in their cabbage dishes, but it's pretty easy to spot. The upstairs section is a la carte, if you're not in the mood for a buffet type of meal.
Pros: Convenient location * Good variety of food * Take out available
Cons: Can be pretty hectic * * |

Review: I tried the take away counter dim sum. Some of it was absolutely wonderful, others were so-so. I would definitely go back and try the buffet during peak hours, though. the dim sum was a fair price. Really convenient to the MTR.
Pros: cheap * good food * friendly staff
Cons: * * |

Review: I went to this place recently on the back of other pretty good reveiws. All was pretty good. Plenty of differnet tyoes of buffet food available. Bit confusing at first. But you pretty much get given a plate and off you go to help yourself. Restraunt was full to the brim and had a good atmosphere, so was good for the fact the food wasn't sitting around. All in all, the food was unlimited and tasty, but i thought i might be a tad overpriced if you don't eat a lot. Unlimited Tea was a plus, so all in all, would recommend if very hungry and want to stock up the nutrients.
Pros: Fresh Food * Unlimited Tea * Good Atmosphere
Cons: Bit overpriced * * |

Review: Entrance a couple of steps up from main road, under a neon sign, this is a medium sized Chinese buffet restaurant. You'll be met by the head waitperson as you go in and if you opt for the buffet this will be near the most contact you will have with staff, unless you want further assistance. There is a small counter selling jade/Chinese made style pendants/bracelets to one side.
Groups to couples and singles present. More of a "routine" restaurant than special occassion/romantic spot although if the latter are casual affairs, then excepted.
Buffet had congee, fried rice/noodles, various vegetable stir frys, stews, mock meats (variously flavoured chicken on this occassion), sushi - one type, salad ingredients no dressing, desserts. Replenished regularly with fresh/new dishes. Further food is available and to be ordered separately. Unlimited pots tea. As per most other restaurants at this level on down the spout was chipped but judged slim chance of them having an intact one..Yet to be affected if there was any bacteria living there as per millions of people who also use such vessels everyday...On other hand, chopsticks are plastic.
Food fine, not too oily, no culinary feats. Had a decent square meal with various vegetables, trying a bit of the "chicken" and ending with peanut cookies, which were yummy, red bean sesame ball and a fruit and cream filled pancake made on a hot griddle in front of me.
At around $100 before 9pm and $57!! after, can't lose with this great value!
Pros: Great value * *
Cons: no culinary peaks scaled * * |

Review: chinese known as 普光斋. u can easiy spot a Big Green sign board along the street. quite easily located. they have both ala carte menu and buffet. buffet Dinner is 98HKD excluding other charges.
food was good, but the buffet was over rated i feel. i reach at around 8.30pm, and many of the dishes for buffet are kinda empty already. had ala carte instead.
Pros: location * variety of food *

Review: This restaurant is easy to find: take the exit 4D at MTR station Jordan in Kwoloon. A huge sign "Light Vegetarian restaurant" on 13 Jordan Street cannot be missed. Evening buffet for 89 HK$ + 10%, that is about 10 €, is open from 18.00 - 22.30 hrs. Take away window whole day open. Excellent, abundant, tasty, great, Tea is free as always in Chinese reaturants. In order to be sure of a table: come early. If you want a refill of hot water: just open the lid of the tea pot.

Review: went and had the buffet, thanks to the directions previous.
was very good, staff spoke no english but easy to work out what dishes were from the buffet, and the menu had english. about hk$90 for the buffet which also allows you order several other dishes if wanted(i didn't as the buffet was substantial enough).
unlike many other places, although mock meat and tofu were plentiful, there were no shgortage of vegetable dishes. there were a selection of soups also. very good.
Pros: selection * nice staff *
Cons: difficult to find * * |

Review: Directions - look for the bookshop / stationery shop behind the MTR entrance - Light Vegetarian is just to the right of this. Seating on 2 floors. You can drop in for tea & dim-sum. You can take 100+ guests & have a banquet. Several buffet spreads each day - usually starting around 11 a.m. - then 3 p.m. - then 7 p.m. Between times you have just the menu to order from.
Pros: Great staff * Buffet is best * Good value
Cons: Best to book at peak time * Sometimes slippery stairs * |

Review: There is a take-away window to the left of the main door (enter for buffet) selling a wide variety of dumplings, rolls and a selection of imitation meat products at very reasonable prices. The friendly service staff read the vegan passport and steered us away from non-vegan items. The food was great!
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |
