excellent food - Edit
dumplings are amazing ! Love pan fried rice noodles which comes with peanut sauce .. pan fried noodles with assorted vegetables in black pepper sauce is my Favourite .. excellent preparations .. everyone doesn't understand English but one staff does so you can ask him to take the order. Another dish is asparagus with lily bulb which is awesome too ! I always come to this restaurant few times during my trip to Hongkong ! Highly recommended for local Chinese cuisine !

Attentive staff, blend your own sauces and book of. veggie love menu - Edit
The menu is a book of veggie love with descriptions of the organic ingredients and hydroponic vegetables. Prices are a bit upscale and so is the quality of the food. There's also a more economic dim sum menu on each table.
A table by the entry has a vast sampling of ingredients to blend your own sauce.
If you go with 2 or more people you can order the large and popular hot soup pots which looked really delicious - served with a variety of fresh hydroponic, organic vegetables. I'd like to try the soup pot but am the lone vegan in a large heavy meat eating work group so I usually dine solo.
The sliced tofu wrapped in beancurd sheet was a tasty generously portioned dish as was the broccoli with bamboo and mock chicken.
Like most Buddhist restaurants, beer or wine is not available so I had the German Maltz which was a nice molasses tasting soft drink. Tea, juices and smoothies are also available.

love this place - Edit
If you choose wisely, extremely tasty dishes. Not too expensive and a pleasant environment. Have been here a few times and thoroughly enjoyed my dining experiences. Can recommend the Sichuan termite mushrooms and the mushroom and truffle dumplings, so good. Oh and of course the deep fried tofu is a winner! Even my meat-loving partner loves the place!

Favourite vegetarian restaurant in Hong Kong - Edit
I think I found today my favourite vegetarian restaurant in Hong Kong! :) (And what is even better, it's a vegan one.) We had dinner at Pure Veggie House today. It was national holiday and the restaurant was packed with locals, but they could find a very nice table for 2 of us. We ate one dim sum, one noodle dish and one tofu dish. We chose spicy Sichuanese style dishes as we really like those. Flavours were varied and great. Service was really nice and friendly. To balance the spicy main dishes we chose cooling, mild local tofu pudding as dessert. It was really good. We also tried fresh peanut mochis, which were great too. We'll definitely be back.
Pros: Superb food, Friendly service , Totally vegan

the best of Veg Chinese in HK - Edit
This restaurant is my fave but it's better to go during lunch due to their awesome dimsum menu. In addition to the dimsums, their omlette, rice crackers and gravy are worth trying too.
Pros: Reasonable price, Good food quality, Food is delivered to your table quickly!
Cons: Noisy noisy noisy, Not too accessible by public transport, Sometimes they're too busy so it takes a while for

Stevie 14 Feb 2016 - Hi Paul,
If I can politely check my understanding please? You're criticism of this Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong is that they sell Chinese food?
Keep well, Stevie

My favorite in Hong Kong - Edit
This is probably my favorite restaurant in Hong Kong. It has style, it is vegan, most of the food is organic and everything just tastes amazing! Try their Sichuan style tofu with lots of chili peppers, nuts and bell pepper! The tofu comes in several versions and is just amazingly tasty!
If you are vegan, chances are you never had hot pot cause usually it is very meat based. Definitely go and try their hotpot! It is all-you-can-eat and they have a great variety of vegetables, mushrooms, beancurd and dumplings to choose from. Totally worth the price!
Also go and try their dim sum. Another Hong Kong specialty at lunchtime. Lots of tasty small things to order and enjoy. All of them very tasty. A must try: The wonton in chili sauce!
Well, prices are a bit high, but it is just too tasty to not come back all the time ;) Oh yeah: Better call ahead and reserve a table.
Pros: 100% vegan, organic, Some of the best food in town
Cons: Pricey

Hidden gem - Edit
Easily one of the best veggie dim sum in town. The menu is quite extensive. Service could be slightly better.

My favorite in Hong Kong - Edit
This restaurant is my all time favorite in Hong Kong for great vegetarian food. There are often Buddhist monks and nuns who come to eat there, and that says it all: the food is pure vegetarian but is also quite original and delicious. The prices are reasonable and there is a membership card available for a yearly fee.
Pros: Pure, delicious food, Great variety
Cons: The service can be gruff or not...

Hearty and tasty dimsum and plant-based HK vege cuisine. - Edit
The selection on menu is vast but dishes are all exquisitely designed. Traditional HK food like dimsum and warm dishes are mostly plant-based and not just served in mostly-gluten dishes like many Chinese vege restaurants.
Food are deliciously

Classy restaurant - Edit
This is a fabulous restaurant. Beautifully decorated, toney interior, with decorated nooks and crannies, as well as a central dining area. It's a true, sit-down, white tablecloth restaurant, but also features a "make your own" buffet that we didn't try, but which looked great. The food is pure veg, as the name suggests, in that it does not feature mock meats as many Chinese restaurants do. Mushrooms are used instead, including mushrooms that are grown right in the dining room! The wait staff comes across as having "urban" attitude, but the help is friendly if you ask questions or need assistance. Tends to be crowded with an eclectic mix of diners.
Pros: Classy, Excellent, healthful food, True restaurant atmosphere
Cons: Crowded, Wait staff will rush you if you let them, Location and situation

Cozy spot with unique flavorful foods - Edit
I really enjoyed our time at this spot, though it was quite hard to find. Luckily, local people helped us locate it in the rain. We tried 3 or 4 dishes which were all superb. Excellent, rich flavors and presentation. We sat on a little booth on the floor and sipped warm tea. Would definitely come back here to try more of their extensive menu!
