    What a great restaurant. Lots of classic HK dishes done with Beyond Meat products. Perfect for vegans, vegetarians, or people who don't eat red meat and pork. Beyond Meats are the latest craze in mock meat around the world that taste like real meat unlike typical soy meats. My favourites were the Tan Tan Noodles which were nice and chewy and flavoured properly, and the Tom yum soup which was a thicker variant than what you are used to which was a pleasant surprise. You can also stock up on snacks, frozen foods, and other goodies here while you are at it.

    (Translated by Google) This restaurant gathers supermarkets and western restaurants. This time I went to buy a drink and take a break. No one is in the restaurant. I was sitting in a place where I can charge, I wanted to ask a clerk with a tissue, but I did n’t A restaurant does n’t even have paper towels. Does the customer wipe the mouth with their hands after eating? · Hot Fragrant Purple Potato Almond Milk Drink HKD $ 36 · Frozen Lemon Tea HKD $ 30 · Lele Chicken HKD $ 18 The quality of the food is good than the large chain stores are delicious and hot and cost-effective There are also five pieces in one box. The drink of purple sweet potato is very fragrant and delicious. (Original) 這家餐廳集合超級市場和西餐廳 感覺挻方便吧haha 這次去買杯飲品休息一會 沒有人在餐廳所以很多位置 坐了可以充電的位置 想拿張紙巾問問店員但竟然沒有 一家餐廳連紙巾也沒有 難道客人食完東西用手抹咀嗎? ·熱香濃紫薯杏仁奶飲 HKD$36 ·凍檸檬茶 HKD$30 ·樂樂雞 HKD$18 食物素質不錯比大型連鎖店的好吃又熱辣辣性價比高 一盒裡面也是有五件 內軟外脆很香的口道感覺挻不錯 紫薯的飲品很香濃味道 口感挻滑身可以再來多一杯😊

    This place has a small niche for health conscious food and beauty products from major international and local brands. Small stock, not really worth the visit for shopping-the restaurant however is perfect for casual healthy vegan eats.

    I ate here today.. this is my second time. First time I ate here, I ordered burger and fries. Also signed up for a membership card. I went to their other branch at Harbour City, it's a little more busy than herw, but not by much. How can I describe the atmosphere here compared to the one in TST? Here is a little bit more chill, darker lights and much smaller, and less noisy.. the Forest mall is quite dimly lit. At the TST branch, there seems to be a lot of staff standing about with nothing to do, but here at the Mong Kok one, they have the right amount of staff to do whatever needs to be done. I think this shop is more organized than the Harbour City one, however I do prefer to be in a bigger place than a smaller one. One plus I will give, the Forest branch is quiet and more peaceful. The food is also great.. ordered fish and chips today with a cup of milk tea.. came to $60 something, quite cheap. And the portion was enough for me. I never eat fried food, but I'm willing to come back to Green Common for their fish and chips. I have to say, the fries at this shop is much better than the TST one. I recommend you try the Forest branch at least once or twice, then make up your mind if this place is for you or not. I will definitely come back here. EDIT: went back today and tried their spam on toast with honey mustard and a side of salad, plus happy nuggets. The spam was pretty good, not too salty, while the happy nuggets were okay.. I'm not really a fried food type of person. The milk tea I ordered was kinda cold when I got it.. they must have made the tea first then cooked the food. Waiting time was just over 5 mins. You guys should make the hot drinks last, so it won't get cold by the time the food is ready to be served, just a tip.

    Green Common is a popular plant-based restaurant and food shop with a handful of branches spread out around the city including this place at the FOREST in Mongkok. This branch is open from 11.30am to around 9.30 or 10pm daily. This Green Common is found on the first floor and has limited seating space or those who want to dine in. You can also do take-away and delivery if you are in the area and prefer. Their menu is the same as what you find at other Green Common branches. They have a good range of vegetarian and vegan friendly dishes that are reasonably priced. I like their Beyond Burger. There are better plant-based burgers around HK but you have to pay quite a bit more. The Sing Chicki Laksa is also a pretty good dish as well. Food stuffs are good at Green Common. We usually pick up Emma & Tom's health bars when passing by even if we don't stop by for a meal. You can check out their Hong Kong website if you want to find other Green Common locations around the city.

    A clean, friendly vegetarian fast food place. The deep fried imitation luncheon meat and imitation chicken nuggets were surprisingly good. I’d say better than some of the real things. The imitation fried fish was okay but not as convincing. The mushroom soup was a surprising standard too but could use a bit of ginger, peppercorn or other spices to balance off that rather mushroomy dominance. The price is very good considering the location and the spacious setup. I would not, however, recommend the HK style milk tea with malt milk. I’d rather have that good old malt Vitasoy. Maybe if I visit again I’d try the vegan hamburger.

    I always go here because I generally like going to green common for different vegan food products. The spaghetti with sausage is one of their new menu items. I personally don't really like the taste of the sausage (given the fact that I don't really enjoy fake meat) but the tomato flavor of the pasta is nice and tangy. Other food items here are pretty nice. Their 'pork chop' is quite similar to the non vegan counterpart. They also have different meatless food you can try. I personally like their salad bowls too.

    Special Promotion for Beyond Burger with 50% price off hence give it a try. Nice Burger with taste and texture similar to real meat burger. Strong Mushroom taste which covers most of the flavour. Fries is cool hence not recommended.

    Ultimate place for vegans

  • 4/5 Jowen S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The vegan burger was pleasantly surprised. The meat taste was very similar. The whole burger was delicious. There are also many healthy drink options But the bag is seriously numb In addition, vegan products are rare, usually special, you can try it, the price is less expensive (Original) 純素漢堡🍔有驚喜,肉的口感很相似,整個漢堡好吃的,無花果沙拉🥗水準高,薯條🍟也很不錯 亦有好多唔同健康飲品選擇 不過刈包認真麻麻地 另外,純素商品平時都都幾少見,幾特別,可一試,價格少少貴

    Everything was good but the POS cashier system is so slow. Long queue when no one is really eating there. The bottleneck for all green common restaurants are always the payment area cause they couldn’t sort out a better solution. Time to upgrade it!

    Nice and convenient vegetarian supply store in Mongkok, although it is a bit small and the range of foods is a bit limited. However, there is also a tiny restaurant, will vegetarian food available to dine in or take out.

  • 5/5 Marcelle L. 11 months ago on Google
    I always come here for affordable frozen foods and vegan groceries that taste great! Their other stuff can be quite pricey, but their membership specials are great, where you can buy two things for 30 dollars or 3 things for 90 etc. and I often buy multiple 'OMNI' mock meats here. I've only tried the café once, and it was nice enough with good service.

    I love this place the food is delicious well priced as well having as a good deal of separate vegan products such as milks and vegan meats. Their restaurant is also vegan has a selection of different foods from different cultures

    I am previously a supporter of Green Common. However recent price hike is a bit too insane. I can understand price increment but not when the price is now double of what it used to be. The food is still alright and I am a vegetarian. Hence I definitely support the concept. But please be more reasonable in terms of pricing...

  • 5/5 Rong H. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been there twice and planning on going again. The food is really good and reasonably priced. The restaurant itself is beautiful and clean with a small store where you can buy some vegan products.

  • 4/5 Alicja 1 year ago on Google
    Great clean and modern place. I wish the menu was more Chinese, I found the dishes to be Western like Tuna Pasta. I'd give it 7/10 for taste, small portion though and I didn't feel satisfied after. I like the effort they made to pack the food in compostable and recyclable materials

    Poorly designed experience. Product stock often depleted, finicky checkout process, misleading offer labeling as seen in the photo (they kept the labels up even after the offer had expired as indicated in the small print on the bottom right corner). Commendable mission, but misses finesse in the details of the execution.

  • 3/5 Emma W. 3 years ago on Google
    3.5/ 5 Now ordering burger, pizza or hotdog with 50% discount I would prefer using fresh veggies instead of beyond meat or impossible. The pizza dough is bread-like texture without enough seasoning. The truffle pasta is nit bad but a bit dried. The dumplings are also tasted plain. Not bad but can be better. The price is good with discount, worth a try.

  • 4/5 Brian H. 3 years ago on Google
    I like this place very much, this is a great option for plant-based meals. Too bad they don't have coffee. Their soy milk tea is alright, food is good, it's a nice place for a quick meal, not something you wanna chill for an hour.

  • 4/5 Cristo W. 6 years ago on Google
    A new restaurant run by an organization Green Monday which has restaurants in other areas together with food store. It provides multinational vegetarian food, some are vegan as well. Because the location is in Mongkok, it especially offers side dishes in Hong Kong style including 3 Stuffed Treasures and Curry Vegetarian. The price is quite high as it imports innovative imitated meat from overseas.

    (Translated by Google) The New Year is approaching, and Green Common has also launched a new vegan menu of "New Year's New Meals". Today, I invited a friend to try it out. Honey Yun Niu Dong Sliced ​​Beef Udon with Sesame and Sweet Soy Sauce HK$78 The protagonist of the new menu is this beef udon. It comes in two versions, rice and udon. Depending on the supply of each branch, the Mong Kok branch will eat udon. Vegetable beef slices are a Korean brand, and I like it a few times, because they have a bite and really look like real slices of meat. Udon has a sweet sesame juice, and the whole is refreshing and tangy. Shanliang Golden Horn HK$28 / Future Wealth Voucher HK$38 Both crispy snacks are quite attractive, using new pork and future beef respectively. Of the two, I prefer the golden corner, which is the new pork char siu crisp. The pastry is sweetened with honey and sweetened with a char siu filling. Good food again. Among the new dishes I tried this time, I like Golden Horn and Vegan Waffle the most. On Green Monday, I can ask my friends to eat! By the way, I think this silky barley milk tea is a good drink, and the bottom of the tea is delicious. (Original) 新年就快到,Green Common 亦推出左「新年新膳意」全新純素菜單,今日就特別約左朋友去試下。 蜜運牛冬 芝麻甜醬油植物牛肉片烏冬 HK$78 新菜單的主角是這個牛肉烏冬,它有飯和烏冬兩個版本,視乎各分店的供應,旺角店這邊就吃烏冬。植物牛肉片屬韓國品牌,我都幾鍾意,因為佢好有咬口又真係幾似真肉片。烏冬有個甜甜地的芝麻汁,整體都幾清爽惹味。 膳良黃金角 HK$28 / 未來富貴卷 HK$38 兩款脆口小食都幾吸引,分別用了新豬肉和未來牛肉,兩個之中我比較鍾意黃金角,即係新豬肉叉燒酥,酥皮有搽蜜汁甜甜地,入面個叉燒餡又好好食。 今次試的新菜式當中,我最鍾意黃金角和純素窩夫,Green Monday 可以約朋友去食下啊!順帶一提,我覺得佢地個絲麥奶茶係幾好飲,茶底好香濃架。

    The vegan cheesecake was not bad. The strawberry taste was quite explicit and the vegan ‘cheese’ taste nice too. And coffee was acceptable for its flavor considered its price BUT the dining environment was not too good. We sat at the other side from the main dining area (with an exit closed by). There was a fly and a few insects constantly flying around, which was annoying and a proof of a not so hygienic environment...
