Asian buffet - Edit
Fully vegan buffet and menu choices. The staff are super friendly and attentive. Really good choice of tofu in many ways.
Read moreThe miso soup had good flavours but didn't need the silken tofu in it as it tasted a little strange altogether.
You get given a little pressie when you leave too

Excellent vegan food - Edit
The restaurant offers a self-service buffet of vegan food. The dishes are numerous and incredibly diverse. Vegan food that is so creative and varied you will not find elsewhere. Everything is made with supreme skill, attention, and refined aesthetics.

great vegan buffet - Edit
We went here and got the lunch buffet which was €12.50 each. It's quite expensive but so are most places in Vienna. You can eat as much as you want and there's a good selection of food. I really liked the soup and and some of the noodles. They even had sushi! I asked if everything was vegan and the server told me everything but the sweets, there were some gummy bears that he said weren't vegan. I thought that was a bit odd, why not get vegan ones or just forget the sweets altogether? It also made me worry other things might not be vegan and he forgot to tell me. The atmosphere wasn't as good as other vegan places in town and I felt a bit awkward and uneasy asking questions to the staff. Overall it was good.

mixed feelings about food and service - Edit
While the interior looks tidy and modern I don't find it comfortable. I always feel a bit uneasy there. Whenever possible I take a seat outside in the Schanigarten, located in a quiet side street. The all you can eat lunch buffet is a great offer. Many dishes from starters to deserts. Even vegan sushi is included which is rare in Vienna. Interesting specialties on the menu like steaks made of mushrooms and creative fake meat dishes. Some of them don't really differ from the usual "Chinese" stuff and are therefore overpriced, I think. If you eat (and drink) a la carte be prepared to spend 20 € minimum per person. Why it took them so long to become entirely vegan is beyond me. I mean who goes like "Hey we absolutely must eat at vegetasia cause they put eggs in their soup!"?? In general the staff is friendly and helpful. On one occasion they forgot about my order. I was really hungry and really pissed. Oddly, they didn't seem to care about me being the only person at the table not being served anything. I needed to inquire for my order and they didn't make any effort to compensate me for 80 minutes of desperate waiting for food. On an other instance, when I was going for the all you can eat buffet, I needed to get a new plate because I had spilled some of my drink over it. When I asked the waitress for a new plate she said if I got a new plate I would have to pay another 12,50 buffet charge. Are you serious? Are they so short of plates? Another day I had a really hard time to explain the waiter that I wanted a rice brandy but both his english and his german were quite poor. However, it's a decent restaurant with a fascinating menu and i'll go there again. But dare you let me starve again!!

Restaurant hours were incorrect - Edit
We arrived at 7:00 pm. The restaurant's website stated that they were open until 10:30 pm. When we entered the restaurant, we were told by a staff person that it is closed and then that person told us that it closes at 8:00 pm. We pointed out that it was just a little after 7:00 pm. The staff person, who was unfortunately not very friendly, said that even though it was almost an hour until closing, they weren't cooking any more that evening.

great lunch buffet - Edit
I went to Vegetasia for lunch and I was surprised by the huge vegan buffet. I tried the vegan sushi, the spring rolls and some noodles and fake meat dishes. They were all very good and not too heavy.There was also a vegan pudding as dessert and fruit. The buffet price is around 12 euro per person, which is a very good price for an all-you-can-eat buffet. It is not too far from Belvedere so it is the perfect place to go for lunch if you are visiting the palaces and museums there.

favourite place in vienna! - Edit
i LOVE vegetasia! there's hardly any place in vienna that beats the service, taste and variety of food. I usually come here for the buffet whenever i'm in town.
Read morethe main courses usually change while the starters & soups stay the same. there's also great sushi (with mock salmon that looks ridiculously real!) and your usual spring rolls etc.
i love how the food is seasoned and that there's always something new to experience. the soup isn't vegan (contains egg) but will be prepared vegan upon request! the service is outstanding! i love their fried peanut-balls. they once weren't included in the buffet (as said, it changes) so i told the lady how much i love them and can't wait for the next time eating here so i hopefully would be able to taste them again. she went off and brought us a portion of them complimentary for our table (each of us - 4 people - were able to have one).
price might not be the cheapest but the variety & taste of food is worth every cent!
location might be a little out of your way, depending where exactly you're at but it's only a short walk from the underground and the tram is pretty much in front of the door.
Pros: taste, variety, service
Cons: location, price (but worth it)

Disappointing - Edit
The restaurant has a very clean, angular vibe but it is not inviting or cozy. We received limited assistance translating the menu. Had we been more persistent we could have asked for additional choices but clearly the waiter was anxious to move on. He was nice enough but of limited help. The food was fair. The flavors were average, nothing memorable. Either be a German speaker or translate the menu items before coming in order to have choices. Cash is preferred.

lots of fried food, expensive buffet, - Edit
After a while I decided to have lunch with a friend at Vegetasia as I had on mind buffet is good value. I honestly didn't check the price before and it took me by surprise they are charging 12,50€ for Buffet and 0,60€ for a glass of water!!!!
Read moreIf they had all fresh delicious healthy food Id understand the price but not for mainly fried greasy dishes! The non fried options were rarely available and I was just wondering why they have such a bad offer...
I know they can cook good dishes but the buffet is bad quality, deep fried unhealthy dishes and way too expensive!!!!
I'm not returning as there are plenty of yummy good value places and places where I like to spend more money for quality!!!! Sry for the review but you get served what you deserved that's my way of thinking!
Pros: Nice atmosphere, cruelty free cuisine
Cons: too expensive, lots of fried food, they charge for tap water!!!

Vegetasia - Modern flavours of Asia - Edit
Taiwanese and other Asian dishes in a modern fashionable restaurant. Good food and friendly professional service. I had the tofu balls in a mango salsa sauce - the mixture of mango and lemongrass was totally delicious and a new taste sensation for me.

Nice atmosphere and nice food - Edit
I had dinner at Vegetasia two days ago. When I entered I was welcomed by a waitress who didn't speak English (actually, I must admit that I cannot speak German at all, so it's my fault in the first place!), thus she sent for the waitress who did speak English! She was very kind and at the end I ate a mock-meat dish with the least amount of fried things I could find in the menu. Yes, the menu is chocked full of fried stuff (mockmeat, mostly, like soy "chicken").
Read moreThen at the end I asked for the strawberry and coconut pudding and it was a work of art. Basically, I felt guilty for eating it, it was gorgeous! And good taste too. As for beverages, I had water.
The English-speaking waitress checked a couple of times if everything was fine, and it was. I enjoyed eating at Vegetasia, and I normally avoid Chinese and Taiwanese restaurants (mostly because I avoid fried stuff as much as possible).
I paid 20EUR, which I guess it's reasonable (at lunchime they have a much less expensive buffet).
I think this should be a 5 cows review, although if you want to avoid mockmeat and fried stuff then maybe scale it to 4!
Pros: Rich portions, Kind staff
Cons: Too much fried stuff in the menu...

Very different experience to others! - Edit
I felt compelled to write a review as our experience was so different to those below. Maybe we went at a good time (Sunday evening) or maybe they have new staff, but the service was great, really friendly and helpful (and English speaking, fortunately for me and my rubbish German!). I found it impossible to choose from the mouthwatering menu so we went for the set menu and I wasn't disappointed!
Read moreI can't recommend this place highly enough. My only slight complaint was that it was a bit hard to tell from the menu what was vegan, although again the staff were really helpful with that.

Not an easy review to write - Edit
I visited this restaurant back in June 2014. Let me start off by saying that the food here is AMAZING! Seriously, it's and incredible vegan experience. Everything we tasted - was great. But... I must admit the service here was questionable, to say the least. The restaurant closes at 23:00 and on both times we attended Vegetasia - we were literally kicked out by 22:59. Now, I understand that we could have arrived earlier but there's a very disturbing feeling you get when someone wracks up all of the tables and chairs around you and shuts off the lights (!) while you're still eating. Also, the second time we were there, we didn't receive one of the dishes we ordered - it wasn't on the final bill but I cant help but wonder, if this was dropped due to the closing of the kitchen...perhaps they thought we ordered enough and ignored the dish? I would have given them a full 5 stars but I being kicked out was just too much for me... too bad, really.
Read moreOh, also - very poor English skills, even-though they offer an English menu.
Pros: good food, nice decor

Pretty good - Edit
My boyfriend and I came here on our first night in Vienna. The food was tasty but nothing particularly special if you're used to mock meats etc. My biggest complaint would be the service. It was a public holiday and they seemed pretty slammed so maybe it was a one-off but our service was SO SLOW it was a bit ridiculous. The waitstaff were not on top of things at all and it got to the point where the waitress just flat-out ignored me because she was obviously too busy to serve us. We waited for half an hour just to order dessert. Part of it was that the waitstaff were obviously busy, but it was annoying because some tables got really fast services and I noticed others like us who were kept waiting a long time. I wanted to just go but my boyfriend insisted on staying. Either way I'd skip the desserts they were nothing special. It was pretty expensive too.

Excellent food and service - Edit
I'm very surprised by the critical comments in some of the reviews here. There were 4 of us for dinner and all dishes were excellent. There were 3 waiters on staff and all 3 were super-friendly as well as attentive to detail. It is true that it's not in the center of town, but it's super-easy to reach by tram and definitely worth it.

Decent but not amazing - Edit
All veggie Asian spot with many vegan options. Ask for an English menu, they do have them particularly as wait staff does not speak a lot of English. The soup was a bit of a disappointment, but overall the meal was decent. It is definitely out of the way, a bit of a walk from the Belvedere and a hike back to the city center, but tram does run nearby if you prefer.

Very disappointing - Edit
My husband and I got take out from here, and were very disappointed. While everything was indeed vegan, it was very bad—nothing tasted fresh or flavorful, just like something I would get from a crappy, cheap Chinese restaurant. It was also REALLY expensive: €34 (about $50) for take out for two. Don't bother.

Unique amongst Chinese Buddhist restaurants - Edit
I came to Vienna not wanting my vegetarian experience to be limited to the standard Chinese Buddhist offerings. Was I ever happy that this restaurant happened to be the closest veg place to my hotel! I can state with confidence that this was the best Asian vegetarian restaurant I’ve ever eaten at, and I have eaten at such places all over the world. The décor, ambiance, and design were what you might expect at an upscale Viennese restaurant. The price was unbelievable – two of us had a set menu for E35 total, which included soup, four mini-spring rolls, four main courses, and dessert. The food was exceptional. All too often, Chinese Buddhist restaurants present a long list of exotic sounding dishes – giving the illusion of great choice – when in reality, many of the dishes taste pretty similar. Vegetasia was different. Every dish we had was prepared with care and thought. The corn in the sweet corn soup was fresh. The spring rolls were not resurrected from a frozen, industrial batch. Vegetasia 1 was a most pleasant surprise, and is highly recommended.

Amazing! So good, not expensive,close to train stn - Edit
I went here twice for the lunch buffet (12-3pm during the week I believe). It was something like 7€ and was great. The food ranged from "ok", typical tawainese vegetarian/mock-meat stuff to quite delicious dishes that were not usual run-of-the mill. Nothing I had was bad and some things were great. There are a pretty good number of dishes, though not all are vegan (hot and sour soup has egg, cookies I doubt are vegan etc.) Most of the uncertain ones (deep-fried pineapple, vanilla pudding) were labelled as vegan if they were. What can I say, it's delicious and the price is right, definitely one of the better places I found in Vienna and I will hit here again for sure the next time I am back.
Read moreThe have a nice terrace out front and they have some sushi too included on the buffet (and dessert, as mentioned above). Also, they carry Dammann teas (like "damn man, this is tasty"). Vanilla Rooibos is highly recommended.
Pros: Good value, Tasty
Cons: Dishes could be a little more inspired
