What People Are Saying About Veggie Heaven

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…

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!

I went to lunch with 3 friends. We ordered 3 different dishes - I ordered the supposedly spicey tomato dish #27 & one of us ordered the eqqplant & tofu dish - I can't remember what the other person ordered. All 3 dishes were virtually inedible. They had a really bad flavor like they had been doused with a sauce made from dirty socks soaked in water. My spring roll at least was edible, but very greasy.
Similarly, I had a bland experience the last 2 previsous times I ate here, even though I ordered dishes that were alledgedly "spicey"
I used to come here frequently for Cathay Fajitas, but I will never dine here again!
Our server was borderline rude & not very diligent about refilling our water glasses.
- Cons: TERRIBLE FOOD, lackluster atmosphere, apathetic staff
