So much choice!

It was really difficult to choose! We had the satay skewers, the lemon "chicken", the "pork" with steamed buns and salt and pepper tofu. Everything was really good and it's full of locals so you know it must be good!

Friendly host, great options

The host was very welcoming, spoke good English and helped us a lot. Gave my wife a fork and spoon without her asking or getting embarrassed. The chicken skewers and steamed buns were immense, spring rolls were okay and large plate of noodles not to my liking but my wife really enjoyed.

Pros: Friendly host and locals, Value for money, Great options

Cons: No or limited drink options

As soon we entered the owner told us it was a vegetarian place so NO Meat and no fish. They only had fish and meat substitute.
A lot of vegan options
Very recommended

Pros: Big portion, Great owner, Good choices

Casual cafe for a nice lunch

We got 40% off for going off peak time during the week. We had monkey head mushrooms that came with brocoli and had a dish of avocado and truffle rice. We also ordered deep fried bean curd which were OK but probably could have done without!

Tasty vegetarian food but toilet can be improved

We ordered steam rice with mushroom toppings, shredded vegan chicken (salad), and a mushroom soup. All are delicious. The restaurant is full even at 8pm, which shows it popularity.

However, the toilets can be improved. I do not recommend using them.

So good! Difficult to decide what to eat

Really great place. Big variety of food. Trust it is only fake meat and fish. The food is very tasty and staff super nice.

Pros: Variety, Taste, Staff

Cons: You eat so much you can't walk after 🤣

Great food and open late

We only tried a few of the dishes as we had arrived into Hong Kong late due to flight delays.

As others have suggested the skewers with peanut sauce are yum, but the standout dish for us was the Broccoli hot pot, super hearty and delicious.

We will definitely be going back while we are in HK.

Pros: Great service, Delicious food, Close to out hotel (Eaton)

Yum yum yum !

We are so glad we went here on our last night of our HK vacation, and we only wish we had discovered it sooner. The BBQ Pork Spare Ribs has been a childhood favorite of mine, and I knew it would be something I’d miss since giving up meat. I actually ordered it on accident, as they call it by a name here than what I know it by. And what a happy accident it was !!

Pros: BBQ pork spare ribs, Clean and spacious, Deliciousness all around

Great variety of tasty dishes

Sino has a great variety of vegan / vegetarian dishes. Traditional Chinese dishes as well as many - what is called in the west - alternative protein dishes. The vegan sushi had a boring taste, looks great though :). But I didn't expect much of it and just wanted to try it. All the other food was great.

Pros: Variety of dishes

Nice place

Good, fresh food, my favourite,are the kebeb stewers with spicy peanut sauce(not really spicy).
A pity they have only big portions, so if you are alone and want to try different things, it will be very costly.
They should make a mixed single platter, like an Indian Thali.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, set lunch 50 HKD, The place itself, yummy food , Friendly owner

Cons: If you are alone, its tricky, big portions , A bit costly if you are alone, They should offer also small portion

Great Hong Kong style vegetarian venue

I went there and ordered stir-fried green beans and deep-fried tofu chunks. The service was quick, the staff extremely friendly and considerate, and dish sizes are more than satisfying. Be careful though: most dishes in the English menu are not marked "vegan", "vegetarian", "mock" etc. and are simply labelled under their non-vegan name. While, of course, all "meat" and "fish" is meatless and fishless, it is uncertain whether the "cheese" is in fact vegan or regular cheese. Other than that, this is a very good vegetarian option if you happen to be passing between Jordan and Yau Ma Tei in Kowloon (and I found it to be much better than the Lotus Veggie restaurant, which is just a 1-minute walk away in Ning Po Street).

Pros: Clean venue and nice decor, Great service and super-friendly staff

Cons: Vegan options not clearly marked

Good, interesting meals. No meat, repeat no meat.

All meats mentioned are meat free. If you are unsure, just ask. I had grilled monkey head fungus. Nice. Other options included toast with avocado and beetroot paste - you could paint with that! I'm going back.

Pros: Interesting food attractively presented.

Cons: Clean and bright not cosy and intimate.

Try the ala carte buffet

They serve ala carte buffet items at HKD$78 for lunch, $88 dinner. Made to order. However the menu is in Cantonese so you will need a friend. The servers aren't very courteous, don't expect them to explain the menu in English to you. They will yell at you if you order 12 items at once. But over all every item is delicious, decent price. Will visit again.

Pros: food, price, made to order buffet

Cons: service

I was disappointed

Even though the name says "vegetarian" the place serves meat. They have some vegan dishes, but not too many and they were not tasty + the restaurant is over priced
I suggest trying other places.

Hi, I had a bit of confusion here when I first went but everything on the menu is actually vegetarian. When it says 'pork' it is just imitation pork. I can understand without knowing this the menu would seem pretty limited. I found their imitation meats to be really nice, and I ususally am not a fan of fake meat.

Sino Vegetarian, Hong Kong

I ate here last night as part of a group of 17 with the Meat Free Hong Kong group in meetup.com. The restaurant dishes up great food. All 13 dishes were vegan tasted great. At 125 hkd per person this worked out as a pretty good deal. we had a lot of full and happy people at the end.


Updated from previous review on Tuesday January 13, 2015

The location is right at the end of Parkes St on the corner of Saigon St. It's maybe 2 mins walk from exit A of Jordan MTR.

It's a Chinese place in which as others have said there are things on the menu to indicate use of eggs, cheese, butter.

I went for the mix vegetables in curry sauce. Very nice and a decent sized portion. It was 68 bucks (I didn't order any rice). When I was sat at the table I was presented with a small nibbles dish with some marinated tofu. That cost 9 bucks. I declined the tea so that when they added 10% the total bill was 85 hkd.

There we 3 menus. One was in Chinese and English, the other 2 in Chinese only (supplemented with pictures).

I enjoyed my food here and worth considering if you are in this area.

Pros: Vegan friendly, Great food

Undercooked and greasy

Ordered some fried rice with some fake meats and some of the ingredients were WAY undercooked..

The spring onions were still hard and woody, so were the green beans and not to speak of the large chunks of ginger and to top it of it was covered in a layer of fat that made me feel really bloated.

I would not recommend anyone this place..

Pros: Generous size portions

Cons: Undercooked, Greasy, Noisy

Fast Service, A Little Pricey

Located near Temple Street market, this restaurant is mostly filled with local customers but has menus in both English and Chinese.
Lots of fake meat dishes, we ordered beef and peaches, and mutton with steam buns. Both were delicious but with tea and service charge the bill was over $170 which is a little high.

Pros: Tasty, Good Location, Quick Service

Cons: Noisy, Pricey

Packed and Lively

Place was packed with locals. Nice variety of mock meats. I ordered a plate the provides a sampling of six different mock meats that they serve, all prepared differently. A good intro to the restaurant. My food was neither spicy nor greasy. It was an excellent meal. The place is at the upper end of moderate, once you add a tea charge (never saw this on the mainland) and a 10% service charge. But it was an excellent meal.

Pros: Wide variety of mock meats, Lots of locals, Easy to find

Cons: A bit pricy
