We had no idea about this restaurant, looked like a cute place as we were on the famous Hong Kong escalators. We ordered the African style Quinoa and the Risotto both of which were delicious and had amazing fresh vegetables. We also indulged in the house sangria which was yummy! Ended the meal on a sweet note with the flour... More

Had a great tofu salad here, even the non-vegetarians enjoyed it. Great little sundeck outdoors also. Highly recommended

Although you can always find vegetarian in Hong Kong it's great to have a full and varied menu to choose from. Everything we had was delicious but like others said just too much - we didn't finish it all. It is somewhat overpriced but was happy to pay it for a change in the menu.

As a vegetarian, I'm glad to have a slightly "fancier" veggie restaurant option in Hong Kong for special occasions. The food at Life is pretty good, I particularly like the raw zucchini pasta with pesto and the tofu skewers. My husband seems to dig the burgers. I do agree with those reviewers who have stated that the food is overpriced.... More

We were at this organic food restaurant in SOHO (a part of Hong Kong along the walking escalator popular with yappies). We had no problem to walk up 2 flight of stairs up to the roof terrace dinning area and choices of food on the menu, We had a so-so vegan meal (taste and look wise i.e.) until we ordered... More

First off it is pricey, even for HK veg/organic. DB is pricey overall. We can split a meal for lunch and be happy as it comes with a sandwich, side salad, fries. Many patrons left with food still on their plates. We are vegan so happy to deal with healthy clean food and in this area it did not disappoint.... More

My husband and I went to Life Cafe after spending the morning strolling around HK. We found the food to be excellent. I had the felafel sandwich and my husband had the daily special. He had a beer, I had a sangria. Our bill came to close to $50, which was kind of high for lunch, we felt. We do... More

Looking for breakfast on a Sunday morning in October 2012, two colleagues and I went in to Life Organic Health Cafe joking that it would probably be 'tasteless but healthy'. We were wrong. The three different dishes we ordered were all excellent (frittata and two different omelets). Colorful, tasty, attractively served. Great coffee and great music too. Back in Hong... More
