They have good soy coffee for vegan in this cafe and it is comparably bigger than most of the cafe in the area so I come here whenever I want some vegan drinks or food. I have been here for about 8 times, as I have their stamp card so I know it is exactly 8 times.
So today I went there right after lunch at 1:55pm to meet a friend there. The lady who station at the door asked me if I was there for lunch or drinks only, so I said just coffee because I just had lunch. She then hand me the menu but told me something vaguely about a cleaning session at 4pm in Cantonese so I thought ok. Then I went in. I wasn't sure what she meant so when I go and order with the cashier lady I asked her what time is the cafe closing today and she said 5:30pm.
Then, it was my friend's turn to order drinks and she wanted to make sure who's giving the right info so she asked the same question again. Which the cashier lady also told her 5:30pm.
Then we sat and chat a bit and worked a bit and comes 4pm. The door lady came to tell us, we need to leave in 15 mins because our table is reserved, while there are a half the tables that are empty from what we can see. (Note: she first told us they have to clean and then now tells us our table is reserved. Just to get us to leave.)
At first we thought she is just unhappy about her job as we encountered in Hong Kong before.
Anyways we are wrapping up and my friend is already quite upset. We came to a cafe not a cha chaan tang, so we didn't expect to be asked to leave.
We also find it quite rude to do that to customers. Because we have to wait for a helper to come pick up some stuff at 4:20pm so we went back to the car which parked right outside of the cafe and there were no customer nor any cleaning going on as far as the 20 minutes we sat in the car.
The reason I liked the cafe and kept coming back is their vegan cafe concept and also I can tell that they are quite spiritual in their wordins and decorations. Never thought the staff is so rude and inconsistent about general information. Very disappointed.
By the way, the wifi speed is not great if you want to use your laptop here. This experience really ruined my feelings toward this neighbourhood cafe, sad that I can't ask friends to meet up...
Read moreI love LN Fortunate. I have been going there for around 6.5 years, and even though I moved to another island around 2.5 years ago, I still visit, as it is my favorite vegan restaurant in Hong Kong. Why? Because of the people - always friendly, truly interested in how I am, always with smiles on their faces, and I believe that by being who they are and the message they offer, there is a sense of ahimsa in the restaurant, the food and in this family run business. Ahimsa means harmlessness in Sanskrit. They seem to be a close-knit family, and I just love the beautiful atmosphere there. They are also really kind, and that doesn't often get seen in restaurants. Because of the food - always very tasty and when there I often order takeaways to last a few days. Because of the decor - it is beautiful and there is lots of natural light coming through the large windows. I will always recommend LN Fortunate. It is a very...
Read moreGreat place with above average service
I was in HK for over 2 weeks and this was one of my go to places for lunch and/or dinner most of the times. Freshly prepared vegan food, reasonable prices and good service. Payment was possible by Octopus card or cash (no credit card payment). Everyone speaks English.
One of the employees even asked me how far I had to walk when I ordered to go food and pointed out that one of the cakes I wanted to order would melt during that time, so they are not trying to just sell you food but also want to make sure you will actually enjoy it. The employees will also do their best to cater to any changes you would like to the menu as far as possible (for example I asked to change up some of the smoothies a bunch of times). If you're ordering from the lunch or dinner menu, an additional drink (e.g. smoothie) can be bought at a reduce price.
Make sure to try their green tea...
