Chi Lin Vegetarian

Unclaimed

We arrived with no reservations just prior to opening and were able to get a table for two. The dining room did fill up quickly, however, so maybe luck was on our side. The service was very good as was the food. I liked the fact that they are 100% vegetarian (being in the same complex as a Buddhist temple it makes sense). We had the enoki & vegetable dumplings, two bowls of wonton soup, fried noodles, fresh kiwi sodas, and we were quite full. It was a nice meal. The room looks nice, maybe a little bit dated, and has a waterfall outside the windows to add to the ambiance. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.

We came here as a group for lunch after our visit to the Chi Lin Nunnery. The place is very nice and well maintained. Clean and nice. The service was great and the staffs were very pleasant, only language was a barrier, but we still did not face much trouble. We got a big round table on 2nd floor in 5 minutes of waiting. Food was something different compared to what we saw everywhere else in Hong Kong, traditional Bhudhist cuisine you can say, some of the dishes were not good, but overall this was a different experience. Noodles, soup, starters and drinks were all nice.

Vegetarian restaurant inside the Nan Lian gardens. It is rather large and probably seats at least 100 people inside. No outside seating. Naturally many good options for the vegan in the family. We were especially fond of the tasty Singapore rice noodles dish and the sauteed green beans dish. The service was very prompt and friendly. The only drawback is that the interior has very bright cold lights and is not cozy at all. Too bad since the food is so nice. It would be great if they could lower the lights, add some plants and some color.
