do not eat here - Edit
- buffet food was cold
Read more- the food containers almost empty
- excess use of sodium in meals
If you get the buffet option and you are aiming on having a meal that will guarantee you are having your daily recommended portion of vegetables with your meal you will end up paying $80
The $38/100gr is an illusion - convincing you that it’s some sort of a great value for money place. Don’t get fooled. Look for another option.
Cons: overpriced, unpleasant atmosphere, excess use of salt

Pricy with cold food and limited options - Edit
We came to this restaurant at around 8pm, but no much option left as a buffet. And the vegetable is cold.
Read moreThe price is $38/100g, but end up we didn’t put a lot of food, it costs around $90 per person. Totally not worth it. Not recommend.
Pros: quite place
Cons: limited food option, pay much higher than expected

Satisfying - Edit
I came for late dinner and the food was satisfying. The buffet didn't have as much options as I expected but I tried a bit of everything and most of it was nice. The price ended up being higher than I expected tho.

delicious! - Edit
This is a great spot for vegans and vegetarians! Perfect to try a variety of dishes and the unlimited rice is a major plus. Yes the main entrees are pay by weight and not truly all you can eat, but just read the signs and try not to take more than you will actually eat.

decided not to eat here - Edit
As other reviews state the all you can eat sign is a red herring. It's 38 hkd and that gets you 100g, then you pay by weight. The food looked ok but the atmosphere was really indifferent and unwelcoming. Decided not to eat there's ur to the vibe and pricing policy

a quiet place, perfect when alone - Edit
I regularly come to Harvester, mostly when I'm alone during the weekend , as it is close to my place, with decent food, buffet style, possibility to add some extra dishes (I love their fried carrot-noddles), reasonable price and last but not least quiet atmosphere (at least in the room behind, i.e. with no TV). Then I also agree that depending on the day/time, the choice of dishes may or may not suit you, that the staff could smile a bit more and the room be refurbished. In the same buffet-style, with same owner, I largely prefer Bijas at HKU (5 stars) which is also cheaper (as it benefits from the university subsidy). 4 stars for this one is a good rating. I also understand those who give less.
Read morePros: convenient for one person , quiet atmosphere , side dishes (fried noddles)
Cons: limited choice (depending on time), old room that would need to be refurnished

Harvester, Hong Kong - Edit
I 1st went as part of the local meat free meetup group in Sep 14. As has been said already its a pay by weight buffet. Current price is 19 hkd per 100 grams. There must be a lot of water absorbed into the food as mine wasn't especially big but was 80 odd bucks. Its then serve yourself on unlimited soup, congee, rice and soupy red bean dessert. The food I had was nice enough. The 8 choices to serve yourself for the main were all vegan tonight.
Read moreAs an alternative to the pay by weight buffet they offer 3 noodle dishes at around 50 dollars each. This is still accompanied by help yourself to unlimited soup, congee, etc.
One thing that could've been better is that the seating / tabling is a little on the cramped side. They of course though can only operate within the space that they have.
Pros: Vegan friendly, Nice noodle dishes
Cons: Slightly cramped seating

Not a buffet, but pricey pay-by-weight - Edit
First of all, please stop referring to this place as a buffet. It's a pay-by-weight (HKD19/100gram, min. $33)with about 12 selections. You get rice, congee, and soup for free - those 3 items are unlimited.
Read moreI had lunch there today and recalled from a visit there last year that even though the min. is $33, it's easy to go way above that. So I was careful and thought I had taken about $40-50's worth of food, only to be surprised to find out it was $70. Too late by then. I noticed later that most people take even less food - an almost miniscule amount - on their plate and fill up on the rice, congee and soup.
The food is average and really overpriced for a lunch canteen in this neighborhood. [censored] Luk Sau near Central Market is similar and charges a flat $31 for 3 choices plus unlimited rice, soup, noodles and dessert soup.
If you eat here, be careful how much food you put on your plate!
Pros: tasty simple Chinese veggie cooking, good variety
Cons: deceptively expensive, not good value for money

Nice veggie buffet restaurant - Edit
Conveniently located right next to Western Market Harvester offers a good vegetarian buffet, pay as you go by weight. 12 different dishes, tried most of them and was quite happy with the taste. You get free soup, rice and water with the purchase. Unfortunately, most of the buffet items are not marked, so you actually don't really know what you put on your plate. A bit challenging if you are vegan. Seating is plenty (and most of the customers did go for the take-away option) but the tables and chairs are really small and extremely close to each other.

Tasty food and friendly staff - Edit
Very nice restaurant! Been here a few times now. Good concept where you pick your dishes from a buffet and you pay per 100 grams (currently HKD 15) so an average plate will go for about $40-$60. They also have some soup/noodle dishes, one of them is Bak-Kut-Teh (herbal noodle soup - Yummy !)
Read moreDefinitely worth visiting if you're in Sheung Wan neighbourhood.

great idea! - Edit
How it works: (very well actually!) ...grab a plate and help yourself to some food from the buffet. It is $15/100g (approx $2.50 Australian/100g), with a minimum charge of $28 (about $5AUD). I had a lightly covered (ie not stacked up, but covered) plate and it came to $54 ....but wait! Theres more.... The real bargain to the whole thing is that lovely 5 grain rice, clear soup, tea and congee are all FREE on top of that!
Read moreAnd its nice to sit in and friendly too.
Location: On the right hand side towards the end of New Market Street to the left of the very easy to spot "Western Market" building. It has street frontage and you should have no problems seeing its large sign. (Free Hotel Map grid square 46B). It is easy to walk to from the Hong Kong Airport Express Station. (Des Voeux Road leads straight to it)
Pros: eat little or lots, five grains rice is so yummy!

Wheatgrass in Hong Kong - 95% vegan - yummy - Edit
A great little restaurant business - a "unique for Hong Kong" menu - Cantonese classics / some raw dishes / increasing amounts of sprouts / wheatgrass juice deserts. Very good value lunch & evening buffets - for savory dishes you pay by weight - the red rice / brown rice / congee / soups / a herbal drink are "gratis". Conceived of & run by Howard - a "herbal tea alchemist" & Tai Chi teacher whose speciality is helping stroke victims to regain their mobility. Just a few metres away from the old "Western Market" building. This is Hong Kong - they will be copied! Organic packaged food & teas also available. I give them a "5" as they are doing a great job & are happy, friendly people!
