This place is amazing! I feel so lucky to accidentally run in to this place. I ordered risotto and it was simply delicious. They also serve beer and cocktails, if you would like to have a glass with the wide variety of startes they serve. I definitely recommend this place.

Quite nice vegan food in Hong Kong. Sadly, it’s not even close to what I had in the United States. If I’m not mistaken, they don’t serve any seitan which tastes really good and can create a wide variety of vegan foods. Hope they will continue to expand on their menu.

We came here because my friend gave up meat for lent. (This is a vegetarian /​vegan friendly restaurant.)
The restaurant is very small. Getting in and out of the communal was a pain. Food was alright but the portion was very small. My friend and I ended up going elsewhere for dinner #2.

Herbivores, due to its small yet homey space, seats only 26 diners at a time. Imagine, being in a room with 25 other people eating veggies. Sight for green eyes, huh? There is one communal table, which also takes up most of the space in the restaurant. Parts of the restaurant’s wall are adorned with quirky vegetarian taglines, a nice touch if you ask me.
The exterior doesn’t attract much attention to itself — it is clean and minimalist, with a chalkboard that introduces specials. I love having vegetarian meals, partly because I’ve never had a bad experience when dining in one. If I could have vegetarian food most of the days of the week, I would, but I don’t really have a big recipe book on veggie-​based dishes.
Herbivores gives me the much-​needed dose of healthy food, and while the menu has a heavy hand on brevity, there’s still plenty of dishes to choose from. The freshest items on the menu are the pasta and yogurt which are made daily. Tried the Japanese plum pasta that was cooked al dente, and was introduced to a contrasty yet seemingly complementing flavor — the sweetness of the plum and saltiness of the nori, with the aroma of basil.
For yogurt I had the «mango yoyo», which was very tangy and delicious although I felt like they skimped a bit on the mango. Come on, it is mango-​based after all. Nonetheless, it was a great way to end our meal.
The servers are refreshingly jolly and always ready to explain each dish and its ingredients. This is something that is not commonplace in Hong Kong. Portions are Asian — a dish for a single person really means a dish for a single person. This place has been another good vegetarian experience and I’ll be sure to be back in the near future.

I’m sad to say, but Herbivores depresses me a little. Don’t get me wrong, I have no objection to veggie or vegan food, and would love to be more so, if I didn’t love burgers so much.
You see, it’s the menu. When I look at the menu, it just feels like I’m being preached to with qinoa and beetroot. Everything on the menu has a funny name of something marinated in something else, so I spend half the time trying to google pretentious food stuffs. Look people, it’s a potato, call it potato.
However, having now had my little rant, once the food arrives, the threat of genmaicha and croustillant disappear, and what I have is great food. Pasta with a creamy pumpkin, mushroom and asparagus sauce, a Japanese style salad with sesame dressing, yoghurt — yes, just a simple yoghurt with mango, a yoyo is a thing on a string that kids throw around.
If you can get through the pretension, and a dictionary of fancy food terms, you will be pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of their quite simple vegetarian and vegan food.
Yes, it is expensive with main dishes going up to and beyond HKD200 (I’m really needing Wagyu steak at that price), so I doubt many will become frequent visitors. They also have the smallest gents toilet in HK, where the sink is basically in the way of the facility so you end up going all over the floor. Perhaps men are not supposed to be vegetarian?
