What People Are Saying About Veggie Heaven
Featured Review

The restaurant’s exterior resembles an old donut shop or fast food joint, but inside, pale bamboo walls and tables stocked with bright green chopsticks and brilliant red hot sauce light up the faces of happy eaters. Regulars are a mix of vegans, UT students and those who love fresh, bargain-priced Chinese food (most entrees are under $5). Eating here isn't just healthy, it can be a learning experience, if one reads any of the literature hanging about. Of obvious importance: stopping China's persecution of Falun Gong. The restaurant also supports various charities, including fighting breast…

I love this place
by Marie08K at Citysearch
Literally probably my favorite place to eat on the drag. They cook the tofu PERFECTLY. The waitresses hardly speak english, so that's difficult if you have questions. Otherwise, great place!

Went Veggie
by Sweet Pea 2009 at Citysearch
Tried to be healthy and go veggie.
The food was pretty good, had the Rainbow Veggie, but it was over salted.
The crowd was mostly students and parking was a little tough.
If you plan to go AVOID at lunch and try an early dinner.

great vegetarian food
by RJVilly at Citysearch
I'm sure the people who run Veggie Heaven have good hearts, as they always have free rice for the many homeless people on the Drag, but they are not the bubbly, friendly, smiley type of people who serve you. That said, the food is great and decently priced. I've been coming here for 8 years and I will definitely keep coming back.
- Pros: yummy
- Cons: less than friendly

VEGGIE HEAVEN- BEST PLACE TO EAT...EVER
by RtotheO at Citysearch
This is my number 1 favorite restaurant in the city of Austin, as well as the entire country. They offer the BEST vegan food anywhere. They're food is super cheap and they're menu is huge. It's nice to feel assured that everything you're eating is vegan! EAT HERE.
- Pros: Food, price
- Cons: nothing

Unassuming but excellent Asian vegetarian place!

As a UT student, I walked past Veggie Heaven numerous times without ever trying it. Years later, I finally visited Veggie Heaven at the suggestion of a friend. What a surprise! What this meat-eater thought would just be "rabbit food" turns out to be the yummiest presentation of tofu and soy I've ever had! The oddly-named "Protein 2000" is like a very good vegetarian sesame chicken. The Four Seasons tofu is an excellent sweet and spicy tofu and green bean dish. Don't miss the kitschy $5 Veggie Heaven t-shirts if you want to show your love!
