    Really enjoy this place. Particularly like the lunch time self service, the range of dishes are great. They are tasty vegetarian dishes that even non-vegetarians will enjoy. You actually feel healthy after eating here, as opposed to heavy and stodgy.

    Totally love the yum cha here, great variety good tasting and piping hot. The buffet? I find the food to be nice but it's never hot. Seems like they don't use the bain marie properly. Leaves me wondering if it's turned on at all or if they just have the lights on. Would pose a big health risk if this was the case.

    4.5 Below Average

    We don't go here anymore since they actually use non-vegan ingredients in their food. I'm not sure if they still do but it was enough to put us off. When we used to go the food was Ok and quite tasty but I ended up feeling ill twice after being told their food was gluten free, and then wasn't. Can't recall any problem with their service (apart from not knowing what's in their meals) and the restaurant looks nice enough for a quick meal. I think that if you're not a strict vego and don't have any allergies you'll enjoy this place.

    The food is really quite good and its great value, with such a wide selection to choose from, a nice change for a vegetarian. Yet, I found myself becoming frustrated with the poor service, a few times I actually had to order from the counter as the staff had not approached us, nor could we get there attention.

    The Good:

    Nice healthy food, as flavoursome as it could be without garlic, and other spices. You can walk in and pick your food straight away from a buffet - good for kids/toddlers. You see a lot of nice people with great glowing complexions.The ice creams are great for kids here, as they are not sweet but pass as an ice cream so they are happy and you are happy as a parent because kids are not on a sugar high.

    The Bad:

    If you order off menu, it takes 40 min for food to come out - very unusual for an Asian restaurant. Loud room, so it is good if you have loud kids - no one will notice them, otherwise you can hardly hear. The place is too crammed with oversized tables, you keep on getting bumped. The décor is not nice, and the staff are disorganised and not well presented. I think it is a little bit over priced for what you are getting, you are paying more to be in the company of other vegetarians/vegans - possibly others who also elevate their sense of self worth by what they put in their mouth - how easy!

    I went here with my partner, who said that it had the best yum cha he'd ever had. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The food was good, but it was nothing special. The service was quite poor: we asked for water, which appeared about 20 minutes later, and despite the large number of people, trays of food didn't appear to come around often. Nice if you're looking for a quick lunch, but don't go in expecting to be blown away.

    9.5 Highly Recommended

    Food  10      Ambience  9      Service  10      Value  9     


    First up, I'm not vegan but I could be persuaded if I could cook even half as good as these guys! What they can do with vegetables should be illegal, it's so decadently good. Their combination soup is amazing as is their sweet and sour 'pork'. We have tried so many items on their menu and all have been wonderful!

    Also, their buffet options are delectable and frequently replenished, so it's always fresh. But try not to fill up on their mains and entrees as their desserts are divine, especially their raw cakes and gelatos (try black sesame or avocado for something different and prepare to be pleasantly surprised but don't worry, they have the old favourites of chocolates and others for those of you who aren't feeling adventurous!).

    The service is always excellent and their friendly and informative staff are a delight to speak to. They're always busy, so you may have to book! Highly recommended, try them once, you'll definitely be back for more!

    It's amazing what can be achieved within vegetarian cuisine. This place has some great dishes though there seems to be a strong focus on deep fried tofu and other things. Meals were Ok in size though I'd prefer to order a few entree meals than the mains as the taste can be a little monotonous after a while. I'll give it another go but with a focus on the steamed food.

    Food  6      Ambience  3      Service  5      Value  5     


    The meals are a reasonable size with a wide choice on offer. Food is ok, I particularly like their papaya salads. The staff are friendly and willing to assist you with dietary needs.

    It's quite noisy, crowded and there's generally a little bit of a wait for a table. Sometimes they ask if you would mind sharing a table with strangers.
    Very basic internal and external shop presentation and relaxed atmosphere but I'm glad it's clean.

    Being a vegetarian it is nice to know that I can order anything on the menu. The meals are a good size and very tasty with a wide choice on offer. The staff and friendly and willing to assist you with dietary needs. It can be a little noisy at times. The ambience is basic but clean. Although it may seem pricey, you have to expect that from a restaurant that specialises in its cuisine.
