Great Food, But Ethi cal Concerns Linger
I recently visited hveggie, the new vegetarian restaurant that just opened in 06 Lan Ong. While the food itself was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting, I couldn’t shake the unsettling backstory surrounding this establishment.
From what I’ve heard and read, H-v allegedly took over the space of a beloved vegan shop, IVG, and replicated their menu, design, and even their business model. If these claims are true, it raises serious ethical concerns about how this restaurant came to be. Supporting local businesses, especially in the vegan and vegetarian community, is incredibly important to me, and I find it disheartening to think that this new restaurant may have undermined another small business to get ahead.
That said, the food itself was well-prepared and flavorful. I tried the smoothie bowl, which was similar with IVG smoothie bowl. The presentation was appealing, and the staff were friendly and attentive. However, knowing the potential history of how this restaurant came to be makes it difficult for me to fully enjoy the experience.
I hope H-v can address these concerns and clarify the situation. Transparency and integrity are just as important as good food, especially in a community that values ethical practices. Until then, I’ll be cautious about supporting this establishment and will continue to seek out businesses that align with my values.

Disappointed
I visited hveggie with high hopes, as the menu looked fantastic and the space was beautifully designed. The food lived up to expectations—I loved the smoothie bowl and salad bowl, which was fresh and flavorful. However, I couldn’t ignore the rumors surrounding this place. Apparently, they took over the space of Ivegan, a beloved vegan spot, and allegedly copied their menu and design. If true, it’s disappointing to see such practices in a community that values ethics and sustainability. While the dining experience was pleasant, the lack of transparency about these claims left a bad taste in my mouth. I’d love to see the owners address these concerns and show a commitment to fair business practices. Until then, I’ll remain cautious about supporting them.

Disappointing
The vegetarian restaurant had bland, overcooked dishes with no flavor. Portions were tiny for the price. Service was slow and inattentive. The ambiance felt cold and unwelcoming. Limited menu options left little to choose from. Overpriced for mediocre quality. Won't be returning or recommending. Disappointing experience overall.

Disappointing - Edit
The food was underwhelming—dry, tasteless, and uninspired. The staff seemed disinterested, and the wait time was ridiculous.
