Great food but a bit pricey

Really nice international menu. This place understands how international food should taste. It's not just some local joint selling veggie burgers even though the chef has never eaten one.
The cakes are all vegan and all great.
I can recommend the wraps and vegan burger.

Pros: Great food, Vegan cakes, Vegan mayo

Cons: Pricey

Yummy and fresh

We discovered this place on our last night of six nights in Hong Kong. It was easy to find and within easy walking distance of both Hong Kong and Central stations. The ambience is really nice, loved the cork table tops! I chose the Siberian Tiger and a lemon/lime/mint drink which was perfect. The Siberian Tiger was not a large portion of food but every mouthful was delicious and I left feeling like I had eaten really good nutritious food. My son chose the White Rhino burger and said it was very good and he's pretty fussy when it comes to burgers. He also tried one of their beers and said it was excellent and full of flavour. The staff were friendly, the music was great, I wanted to ask what they were playing so I could get it!

Pros: Tasty, fresh, nutritious food, Interesting menu, Recycling of products used there

Cons: A bit pricey but I'd go again if I was in HK

Not bad but I prefer Mana Slow Fast Food!

Self-service kind of system which is similar to Mana (because Home is founded by one of the co-founders of Mana; he's a very cute and humble guy who was assisting the cashier and greeting customers warmly when I visited).

The restaurant has a nice vibe, ambiance, music and is very spacious indeed.

However, I found the beetroot burger lacking in flavour (esp compared to Mana's wraps or flats or Veggle Cafe's burgers).
.
It wasn't bad at all but nothing great either, I guess it's more catered to westeners and Chinese people may not like too much flavour, spices in their food anyway.

I had a shake that was made with coconut water, coconut meat, dates and vanilla extract, it was excellent!!

I visited this place back in Jul 2016; so I am not sure how much has changed since.

Pros: Lots of vegan options and stuff can be veganized, Staff are friendly and know their stuff, Vegan desserts!!

Cons: A bit pricey

Tasty and a cozy place

I love to bring my omni friends here. This is such a nice place to hang out with friends. They are often surprised when the vegan food here. My all-time favorite is the flatbread.

Quick and tasty, mixed feelings

I've been here several times both alone and with friends. I've found the food to be quick and tasty (especially the raw desserts -- try the chocolate hazelnut cake!). It's great that HK has a new trendy veg/vegan place that's impossible to get a seat at lunchtime, but overall I'd say its way too overpriced and that the staff aren't always the friendliest. For example, my friend and I came to have a late-night tea and discovered that one cup of hot water and a teabag from the box (which you have to go pick) came to a total of $45 -- crazy! The earth bowls are also very overpriced for the amount of food you get, and please don't charge $45 for a side of sweet potato fries which comes with practically 10 fries. My friends and I each ordered a Hawaiian Monk Sea wrap the last time we went. We wanted the vegan cheese on the wrap (they did not ask us which cheese we wanted when we ordered), and we forgot to specify, and they put Halloumi on it. Once we got our meal, we wondered immediately which cheese they had used and did not open the wraps. We apologetically told them we were vegan (and that they should have asked us what kind of cheese we wanted upon ordering!) and if we could please change our order to something we could actually eat, especially since we had not opened the wraps. They were less than friendly and took ten minutes to deliberate. Finally, they brought us a different vegan wrap (the mexican bean one) but it was cold, chewy, and practically inedible -- it was as though they purposely did not heat it because they were annoyed with us. You also have to busk your own dishes here -- normally I don't mind, but considering the food is high-priced and they seem to have a million staff standing around, it's a little bit tacky to ask customers to do this.

Pros: delicious desserts, cozy seating area, interesting menu items

Cons: crowded at peak times

Organic raw vegan and gluten free friendly

"Welcome home" is the greeting you get when you step inside the cafe, greeted by friendly and smiling staff. It is not hard to feel at home, especially for people who are vegetarian and especially vegan. This is a place that is like no other. The concept is providing healthy, organic food fast and conveniently.

What stands out are their range of food. Awesome vegan burgers, hot soup noodles, rice bowls, made to order custom made wraps (gluten free version wrapped in leafly green) and heavenly raw vegan desserts.

Fresh and fantastic food, it will leave you wanting more, and the place less than 3 months old are already having a huge following. Lunch time is busy (it is central and lunch hour is packed every where).

Make sure you go up to the first floor for the full range of hot food and salad bowls.

My favourite? Their green wraps, with sweet potato, falafel, eggplant 'caviar' and cucumber. That's my custom made preference. Filling and great taste. If you want a bit of a kick, get the spicy chilli sauce.

It is open Monday to Saturday from morning till evening. With their REAL juice cocktails, it is a place to hang out afterwork as well. You won't find that anywhere else!

On top of that, this is where all the yoga hotties, yummy mummies, healthy eaters and beautiful ladies go ;)

If there is one place to go if you are visiting Hong Kong, this is definitely the place to visit!

Pros: Organic and delicious food, Gluten free friendly, Beautiful interior

Cons: Long queues during lunch, Portion can be small for big eaters

Finally a place to call HOME!

As a vegan living in Hong Kong, I have always wondered why a world class city like this one lacks a world class vegan restaurant. I travel a lot for my work & the most vegan friendly places include New York, Ubud (Bali), Los Angeles, Vancouver and I crave the food in those places every time I come Home to Hong Kong.

For those who know these cities/ places, HOME by CGM is better than Cafe Gratitude, Candle 79, Elephant (Ubud), Plant Food & Wine (LA) & others...

After doing some research, I found that HOME is run by a French/ American restauranteur (the original co-founder of Mana) & a classically trained French Chef who worked for 3 star Michelin star chef Alain Ducasse at Plaza Athenee in Paris. This explains the great food!

I have been to HOME every day for the past week it's been open & my absolute favorites are:

Silky Sifaka - the kelp soup noodles (a healthy version of Pho) with garden vegetables (kale!)

Red Panda - an open toast on organic sourdough bread with vegan cheese that is to die for!

Manta Ray - the best feel good salad with spinach, beetroot & all the veggies that you can go home with feeling nurtured and nourished.

Siberian Tiger - a Healthy macrobiotic bowl that beats any macrobiotic bowl I've had overseas

and finally the Polar Bear - the best veggie burger I've ever laid my lips on with a beetroot & mushroom patti that doesn't shy from any real (meat burger) from the old days when I used to still consume meat.

The best juices in my opinion are Scarlette, Coral & Jade depending on whether I feel like a green juice or a beetroot one/ fruity one.

The desserts are a marriage between vegan goodness & French artisan pastry (beauty & substance combined)

I can't speak more highly about this place which is also eco-friendly, zero-waste & an animals activist (all their dishes are named after endangered or extinct species).

Like I said, finally a place to call HOME!

Pros: great food, great atmosphere, free wifi & many plugs

Cons: so much goodness it's hard to choose, more noodle options please, self-service
