Vegie Bowl - Springvale

Melbourne’s plant-based crowd points newcomers straight to this Springvale dining room. Vegie Bowl rewrites the rulebook—massive, unapologetic plates of Asian classics, entirely meat-free. Devout carnivores and vegans find common ground over masterclass-level textures. Uncanny mock sweet and sour pork. Flaky char siu puffs. A black truffle mushroom fried rice that absolutely dominates the table. It’s pure su shi cooking—mindful, soul-nourishing food prepared without onion or garlic, yet still packing high-voltage flavor. Expect a dizzying menu spanning from Kyoto pork ribs to rendang curry parathas. The owner treats everyone like family, the kitchen is lightning-fast, and the generous portions guarantee leftovers. Authentic wok action without the meat—this spot demands your attention.
