Tasty food and amazing service

We especially loved the red curry dish. Hummus was very good as well. Good coffee with oat milk. The service was absolutely perfect - we were truly happy we chose this place!

Great for lunch or dinner

They now accept Apple Pay/cards; no longer cash only. Decent sized menu with lots of different Asian dishes. Everything we had was delicious and fresh.

Pros: All vegan , Outdoor patio for dining (optional), Housemade desserts

New Fav!

Right next to the Mid-Levels, but a bit hidden is this lovely restaurant. Great atmosphere, some outdoor seating and, even more important, the beautiful food! I had the lunch set with ramen. Creamy and rich with good amount of veg in a large portion. Yum! Not so expensive for the amount of food and quality. Made me so happy. Went on a weekday during lunch so was able to get a space but looks like it fills fast. Ordered at the counter and need to busk own table.

Pros: Beautiful vegan food, Good price for value , Nice staff and quick to get food

Cons: A bit hard to find

「I am ROOT🌳」

Root vegan | 中環

隔得咁上下耐又見佢有啲新菜式,有新menu了,又係時候食多次。(又係食完好耐先岀po😓)

-

// 擔擔炒意粉 $118 //

用咗啲新肉絲做配料,味道微辣,覺得可以多少少花生味,係偏淡口版本嘅擔擔麵🥜。

-

// 泰北咖喱金麵配腐皮雞腿 $128 //

呢個係新嘅菜式,咖喱麵配腐皮雞髀同一堆配菜🍛,有薄脆(雲吞皮)、菇絲、蘿蔔絲,同自己可加可唔加嘅酸菜、紅葱同辣椒油🌶。口感豐富不過咖喱無想像中咁濃,少少失色,唔算太香濃。腐皮雞髀就正常,食開嘅腐皮口感味道。

-

// 純素芒果乳酪慕絲蛋糕 $78 //

芒果味足料🥭,新鮮甜美,果香加分。整體濕潤,忌廉份量適中,唔會膩,蛋糕層鬆軟🍰,外面嘅杏仁片增加口感,不過個名點解會有「乳酪」🤔。

-

// 朱古力慕絲蛋糕 $68 //

外面係朱古力忌廉🍰,入面係朱古力蛋糕夾住兩層嘅忌廉同果醬🍒,有啲似黑森林蛋糕嘅組合。呢件蛋糕就會比較乾少少,酸甜配合得適中,朱古力味唔錯,不過再濃啲會正啲🍫🍫🍫。

-

主菜唔差不過感覺未算好突出,甜品就幾好食,值得一戰d(^_^o)。

Spacious Vegan Spot

Nice vegan spot, I had the ramen bowl, it was delicious and the portion generous, the noodles they used tastes and feels like proper ramen noodles which was chewy and thick. Decent amount of toppings, but wish they brought back the ‘just egg’.

The only two negatives I feel needs addressing is the price is expensive, even though there is no service charge.

Secondly, when I finished my meal and got up to leave, I was asked to return my tray to the trolley. This I have no issue with, but there is no visible sign or label to inform customers that they are required to do so, which made me feel like I was lacking etiquette, but in fact it was because I had no idea due to a lack of signage.

Please make sure there are clear signs for customers if you wish for them to return their own trays.

Pros: Vegan , Tasty , Spacious

Cons: Expensive , No visible sign for tray return

Brilliant!

The pea tea is a must-try! If you leave it long enough you can see the acidity from the lemon slice slowly diffuse through the drink, turning it’s usual blue colour purple then pink. It’s taste isn’t very strong, just smooth and ever so slightly sweet, so the visuals are the main thing going for it.

They have a very interesting menu, I mean that as a neutral statement. It is updated every month and a half and is different on weekends and weekdays. They also have an interesting blend of options.
I had the salty fish bagel with seaweed, cheese and bell peppers. The salty fish was omnipork and eggplant that seemed to have been marinated and possibly pan fried together. I usually hate eggplant, I hate it’s taste and it’s texture too, however I took a chance on this and it was VERY good. Would recommend.
I found the main’s portion sizes are quite sensible.
The starters we ordered (soup, bruschetta, sourdough) were all relatively small so won’t spoil your appetite for the rest of the meal, but if you order the salad as a starter you might need someone to share it with because it has a lot of volume. It also has a lot of protein though, containing lentils tofu kidney beans.

Superb Korean fusion cuisine

I've been twice in one week and it's already one of my favourite places to eat. The menu is still being revised, but so far the dishes I've tried have been amazing. Note that they have different menus at lunch and dinner, with dinner being much more expensive. Half the menu is Korean-inspired, with the other half Western/Asian/fusion. Serving sizes are very generous. They also sell bagels in a variety of mostly Asian flavours, to eat in or take away, with vegan cream cheese. The setting is open, light and modern, and while it's self-service the wait staff are very friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

You’ll find me here every weekend. Bet.

The fishy eggplant bagel is a must-have. Point blank. Chewy crispy seaweed bagel from the infamous Little Field bakery paired with the most flavourful eggplants, omnipork, cheeze, nori shreds....can’t even begin to describe how bomb of a combo it is.

The red tempeh curry with Konjac noodles was also really well done. The tempeh itself is super chewy and nutty, just like the ones I had in Bali! The sheer variety of veggies SMOTHERED in the best curry stew makes such a hearty dish! Love how they paired it with Konjac noodles too...otherwise, it would’ve given us food coma.

Congrats on this incredible soft launch. Can’t wait to see the menu expand — will definitely prove to be one of HK’s more interesting and creative vegan spots.
