Nostalgic classics - Edit
I’ve been coming here for years and have not found anything comparable. Really brings me back to my childhood ‘Friday night takeaway’ at the local Chinese restaurant. They’re not trying to be trendy or ‘Instagrammable’ - just effortlessly delicious. Staff are very knowledgeable and will always double check vegan status - eg confirming no egg.
Read moreI can’t count how many times I’ve been here, and I’ve never been disappointed.
Pros: Delicious Asian classics, Cheaper if paying with cash

Great family time - Edit
We often go here for family birthdays. Went last night. Service was great. Serving sizes are generous. 3 generations all enjoyed the food. Vegans and omnivores all enjoyed the flavours.

One of my fav places - Edit
Come here anytime we can and are near the area! Everything is consistently delicious!!!!! Satay skewers are THE BEST, never found anywhere with ones this good. Also love many of the noodle dishes, wonton soup, honey chicken, I could go on forever!! We always leave rolling out, and so well priced for the quality and quantity of food. We usually get here prior to 6pm and the food is served so fast.
Read morePros: SATAY SKEWERS!!!!

Large menu; Good food, service bland, strange vibe - Edit
Good choice of dishes easily made vegan with omission of eggs & honey if not vegan already. We had lemon chicken which was a huge serving - delicious but centre was a little cool. Also Char kway teow which was authentic & tasty.
Read moreService wasn't particularly friendly or helpful - wait staff couldn't explain the difference between 2 noodle dishes when asked.
Ambiance feels a little strange.
Pros: extensive menu, large serves

Enjoyable but I won't be racing back - Edit
Would score more like 3.5 if I could. I was pleased that my reluctant, non Vegan hubby enjoyed the meal as well. I believe the Forrest Hill venue is nicer.

Chinese Malaysian style veggie - Edit
First off, there's two of these.
Read moreThis is the one I tend to head to because the people there are switched on, they're on the way and there's a discount if you pay by cash. Yes I'm a tightarse.
I stopped going to the other one cause they cheesed me off (sorry not sorry).
Fave is their fish head noodle and laksa. I'm also a fan of their spicy fried noodles.
It would be good if they do a Lei Cha (being Malaysia as well) but I don't see that happening.
Getting here is the problem, car is your only option.
Pros: Food, Price - if paying by cash
Cons: Price - if you're paying by card, even debit cards

Why didn’t I come sooner?! - Edit
Last night I went to Vegie bowl in Springvale... for the 1st time ever!
Read moreHow have I never been here?
We clearly ordered too much and attempted to eat it all... anyway I was so deliciously full.
I cannot wait to go back and try more.
Not only were the staff super nice, portions were huge, prices really cheap and I have no after effects from eating too much mock meats, if that makes any sense?!
Vegie bowl is in my top 3!
Oh and did I mention the food was delicious.
We had bbq buns, curry laksa, lemon chicken with fried rice, satay chicken and oolong tea.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Cheap, Delicious

Vegie bowl - Edit
Great vegetarian Chinese food. So many menu options, really yummy and cheap. Lots of choices of mock meat or vegetable dishes. All dishes can be made vegan and they usually check when you order if you’d like egg or not. We find the service great and food comes out quickly. We love coming here.

Good food and good value - Edit
We had to take a drive to pick something up in Springvale, and so took the opportunity to have lunch here, just before the Melbourne lockdown restarted. The menu was vast and it would take a lot of visits to make your way through it. We started with steamed dumplings ($4.90)and crispy samosa ($4.20). Both were good value and high in flavour, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the sweet potato or yam in the samosa. For mains we chose the green beans with pork ($17.90) and the braised tofu with vegetables ($16.90), both huge and tasty, with generous amounts of the interesting bits (pork and tofu respectively) and nice with a bowl of white rice ($2). I left full and satisfied. I’d definitely be a regular here if I lived in the neighbourhood.

Vegie 2.0 - Edit
March 2020
Read moreGood curried veg and lemon chick'n with fried rice.
Feb 2020
(3) The satay skewers were okay, pretty standard. The nasi lemak was a dish we hadn't ordered before and it was pretty good.
(2) The combination hot and spicy noodles were as the name suggests rather spicy but not uncomfortably so. This would be a dish better shared with a group as the noodles got a bit much towards the end. The black pepper mock dish with fried rice was quite enjoyable with a flavoursome gravy and decent fried rice. The lobak and dumplings were nothing to write home about.
(1)The beaf kwai teow and chuck'n curry were both enjoyable and it was good to see that a good portion of veggies were included in the curry.
April 2017
Good to see a second Vegie Hut restaurant in Springvale. As regulars of their Forest Hill eatery, we were keen to try their newest venture. The menu is the same and the food is cooked to the same standard.
More veggies and less mock in the meals would be welcomed.

Doppel - Edit
Well lit spacious venue with good, prompt service, offering the same well priced fare as the original Vegie Bowl in Forest Hill.
Read moreTop choices: Laksa, chick'n curry, lemon chick'n
March 2020: Busy tonight, great to see. Roti, mixed curry vegetables, and lemon chick'n with fried rice. All good, although the curry is very wet and would have benefitted from more tofu and veg. Definitely one to try though and an all too rare vegetable dish for Vegie Bowl.
Feb 2020: Satay skewers, not great. Roti good, chick'n curry good, and nasi lemak, pretty good, but would probably not get again.
Feb 2020: Combination hot and spicy noodles, okay, but could do with a decent array of vegetables and removal of the faux Prawns.
Black pepper faux with fried rice, salty, but accompanied by decent veg and good fried rice.
Lobak... kinda pointless, dumplings cheap but fairly bland as dumplings tend to be, would suggest that these are better than most though.
Feb 2020: Chick'n curry very good, easily one of the better dishes I have had at Vegie bowl and one of the very rare dishes containing a reasonable amount of vegetables, Beaf kwai teow, okay. Roti and brown rice.

Food has changed - Edit
Not sure if there are new owners or something but I used to come here all the time but when I went back yesterday the food tasted completely different. Not sure if it’s a different chef or something but the food was no where near as good as it used to be.

Great vegan food in the eastern suburbs - Edit
This has been our go to take out since they opened as we were lucky enough to live close by. The staff are very friendly and know us by name. The food is prepared fast and is fresh and delicious. It is largely mock meats in traditional dishes, but you can sub in tofu and veg if you'd prefer to forego the mock meat. The restaurant itself has a warm cozy feeling and a good atmosphere. A lot of the dishes are priced to be share plates (around $15-20) but there are budget friendly meals for about $10 each that are more than filling for one person. I highly recommend the curry laksa and the sweet and sour pork.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Share dishes are more pricey if not sharing, Some more veggies & tofu dishes would be good

Great flavours, portions and prices. - Edit
It can be hit or miss depending on which menu item you order, so you need to know what’s good. However, there are many options that deserve a 5 star rating - such as the satay skewers, hinanese chicken, rendang curry, sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour spare rib, and some others. They also have delicious desserts.
Read morePros: Cheap great food, Even cheaper lunch menu
Cons: Not all menu items are good
