The food is really bad and tasteless. Totally not worth choosing the set meal given the price is not cheap for such food and the food is really really not nice. You can see 5 out of 10 people will leave the food there on the table and walk away (including me). After one bite of the fried bihun, I was having a hard time deciding to whether to finish it or not as I feel guilty to waste food like that. But after the second bite, I decided I really really don’t want to have another bite of that very dry and tasteless bihun. The same goes for the mixed vege. The orangie color is not too bad but the curry and the brown thing is really not nice. In the end, I only ate the pan fried turnip cake, the orangie color veggie and soya milk. Honestly, I don’t recommend eating here.

There are two type of meal tickets you can get here. The general one or the vip/deluxe. With the deluxe ticket, you can sit inside a more restaurant like area whereas the general ticket is similar to a more well kept food court like ideal. A meal ticket is either 110 or 150hkd between those options. The food gets wheeled out from the kitchen. You are told you can order more rice. The portions are dependent on how many people there are and also the meal is entirely vegetarian. The food itself is ok and nothing too special...sometimes found it a bit more bland and gelatin like. Overall without standards its ok. There isnt any other food places around and I believe the money goes back to the monastery.

We bought the nicer vegetarian meal, which was excellent. Our flight out of Hong Kong was leaving after 3:00. We arrived at the airport around 9. Didn't know that we could have checked our bags in that early so went to "left luggage" in Terminal 2. We took a blue taxi to the Big Buddha. It was about 1/2 hour away. Visited the Buddha, ate lunch, and took the skyway tram down. There was no wait for the tram at the top but the line at the bottom was unbelievable. We arrived back to the airport around 1:30. It was great sightseeing.

Heard good things about the vegetarian food here and was sorely disappointed. Only the lemon sauce mock goose was good, the rest of the food was mediocre. We went for the premium set and dined in an area with dirty tablecloth and utensils. The vegetarian food in Singaporean local hawker centres tastes better than this, am treating this as a donation for the Buddhist temple.

Le Monastère Po Lin dispose de deux restaurants végétariens. L'un est accessible à l'extérieur (moins cher) et l'autre - celui-ci - offre un menu unique à prix fixe à l'intérieur uniquement. Chaque personne paie sa part au guichet sur la gauche avant de rentrer par la porte centrale avec son ticket indiquant le nombre de couverts, le personnel en salle adapte ainsi la quantité de nourriture proposée au nombre de convives. Si vous êtes en groupe, sachez qu'il n'est donc malheureusement pas possible de combiner avec le restaurant extérieur. Le repas - entièrement végétarien - était très copieux et délicieux (les champignons font encore saliver). Par contre, vous n'aurez que peu d'explications sur l'usage et le cérémonial à suivre avec la vaisselle à disposition... même si le personnel ne parle pas ou peu anglais, n’hésitez pas à demander de l’aide pour éviter les impairs (rincer d'abord la vaisselle mise dans le grand bol à l'aide du thé, baguettes comprises, avant de vous en servir). Cela fait parti de l'expérience !
