Understaffed on a Wednesday night - Edit
I went to dinner on a Wednesday night. The place was full (~15 tables) but there were only 2 waiters and one food server on the floor, and it was hard to get their attention.
Read moreThe food was okay, we ordered 3 dishes, but they were not memorable enough for me to remember what they were. The prices are on the high side, but maybe they charge a premium because of the harbour view.
Menu clearly marked with which dishes contain egg.

Pros: clean interior and view of harbour, Menu clearly indicates which dishes contain egg

Nothing special - Edit
Visited the restaurant as it was a Michelin Star Restaurant but left unimpressed. Typical Chinese style restaurant with noisy environment. Quite pricey as well.
Read morePros: View of the Causeway Bay from the restaurant
Cons: Most of the dishes we ordered tasted bland, When we visited the water closet is clogged

Kung Tak Lam - WTC, Hong Kong - Edit
This place is owned by the Four Seas group (look that up for yourself to see their massive meat and seafood portfolio). Thus that the management team are uninterested in verifying the wine they stock is vegetarian maybe shouldn't be a surprise. I've no issue with non-vegetarians managing vegetarian restaurants as long as they are rigorous in ensuring everything they stock is vegetarian.
Read moreI'd rate places like this at zero or negative if happycow would let me.
For info this place is also overpriced.

Great view, delicious food - Edit
I have been to this places quite a number of times over the last 9 years and I still enjoy it each time. It is true, as others have commented, that the prices are on the high side, but this restaurant offers a great view from the 10th floor of the WTC building, plus a varied menu in which I have yet to find something I did not find delicious.

Very unpleasant experience - Edit
We felt very unwelcome at this restaurant. Beyond this, the food was mediocre and we paid more for this meal than any other we've had while we've been here in China (we've been here four weeks and have eaten wonderful vegetarian meals in other cities). Very disappointing. I do not normally leave negative reviews but this did not seem like just someone having a bad day; this restaurant failed in all areas.

Lovely food with a view - Edit
Really nice restaurant on the 10th floor of the World Trade Center in causeway bay. Had an awesome view. We came here after arriving and it was really close to our hostel. We only ordered the fried noodles with mixed veg and sweet and sour pork. It was a really tasty meal. We are definitely going to back to try out the dim sum for lunch. Nice place, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!

Nice but bright - Edit
Had a great dinner here with friends - very interesting food.
Read moreUnfortunately it was incredibly busy and the noise that everyone made combined with the very bright lights made it less relaxing then I would have liked. ie. perhaps not a place for a romantic dinner!

Consistent quality - Edit
I'd eaten several times at their TST location before coming here for the first time. Both of them offer harbor views, but the one in TST seemed more spacious, tables less cramped. Food was just as good, service was a little better. Don't be surprised if there's just a few diners there when you visit, apparently they get really busy only on those typical dates (like the 1st and 15th in each Chinese lunar month) when many buddhists go veg.

Very good food - not that cheap but who cares! - Edit
Unusually a large restaurant, always full with local residents. Very unusual food, mock meats but that seems to be a buddhist thing. Most veggie restaurants we have been to in Asia seems to be a place to eat and go. This is more like an evening out. Wine is expensive
Read morePros: An evening out, Nice restaurant, Good food
Cons: Not that cheap

Food very nice - bit pricy - Edit
We have been here (in the WTC location) on 11/7/2009. The place is easy to find and has a good view on the HK Harbour. Staff is friendly and helpful and there is a lot of variety on the menu (both regular Chinese veg dishes as well as Dim-Sum).
Read moreIt's not one of the cheaper restaurants: the bill for soup, 2 dishes, rice and a small desert (for 2) was about HKD 300.
Pros: Food, Staff
Cons: Pricy

Easy access - right next to the tram lines - Edit
Well - I have eaten the perhaps 5 times this year & each meal has been enjoyable - it is run purely as a business by non-veggies & serves well cooked / fairly well presented dishes - very convenient if you are hungry & in Causeway Bay - if you are looking for a really nice restaurant the branch at 1 Peking Rd, Kowloon has pretty much the same menu / same prices in a far nicer setting. Dishes containing eggs clearly shown. Often full in the early evenings - best to book if you have a group of people.
Read morePros: Clean, Spacious, Varied menu
Cons: Often very busy, Often too noisy for my, liking - birthday parties

Mildly disappointing... - Edit
I tend to agree with Isabelle's review below. There's nothing "wrong' with this place, and the setting and atmosphere had us excited when we went in. Four dishes later, we were less excited and less wealthy. The food is certainly satisfactory, but our chicken dish was very poor, and the others - while better - hardly generated any excitement. A mediocre experience start to finish.
Read morePros: clean, attractive setting
Cons: average food
