Buffet Is Awesome And Hotpot Is Included - Edit
Don't bother with the a-la-carte upstairs and go for the buffet and the hotpot! Even though the hotpot might be a bit hard to order for as there is no English menu. The buffet is more than enough though and for 120HKG everything included (even the hotpot!), it's an absolute bargain!
Read moreFood is very tasty and there is plenty available!
Staff speaks some English and is generally very helpful.
Pros: Unlimited Buffet & Hotpot, Only 120HKD, Great Taste
Cons: Sometimes Hard To Get A Table

Tea Buffet - Edit
Arrived at around 2.50pm and there was a buffet at 3pm. Decided to go for it. At 3pm, everyone started rushing to get their food. They must be really hungry! Find the food simple and nothing really outstanding. Maybe Al-la crate may taste better.

Good veggie option - Edit
We are not buffet fans so went upstairs to order off menu. Started empty and a little intimidating, service attentive but not that friendly. Then began to fill up (more towards 1) and was much better. Portions massive, food very good and more. My veggie wife who is not a Chinese food fan was converted!

Easy to find, friendly, English menu - Edit
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.
Read moreI 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

Good food and bustling atmosphere - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Convenient location, Good variety of food, Take out available
Cons: Can be pretty hectic

only tried take-away - Edit
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.
Read morePros: cheap, good food, friendly staff

Great value! - Edit
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.
Read moreGroups 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

great - Edit
went and had the buffet, thanks to the directions previous.
Read morewas 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

Jordan MTR Exit B1 - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Great staff, Buffet is best, Good value
Cons: Best to book at peak time, Sometimes slippery stairs

Light Vegetarian - Edit
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!
