About Hoa Nghiem Vegie Hut

Tucked beside a Buddhist temple along Springvale Road, this dining hall dishes up generous bowls of plant-based Vietnamese noodle soups. The vibe is easygoing and communal—pour a cup from the self-serve hot tea station while taking in the high-ceilinged room. Regulars head straight for the spicy bún bò Huế and salt and pepper eggplant, crisp on the edges and soft inside, before grabbing vegan nuoc mam and packaged mock meats from the pantry counter on the way out.

  • Temple Grounds Setting: Set on the grounds of a Buddhist temple with a relaxed dining hall atmosphere and dedicated on-site parking.
  • Hearty Plant-Based Vietnamese: Serves generous Vietnamese plant-based noodle soups alongside broken rice and specialty mock meat dishes.
  • Take-Home Pantry & Market: Features an on-site retail counter stocked with packaged vegan mock meats and Vietnamese pantry staples.

Authentic Vietnamese vegan fare and pantry goods served in the tranquil grounds of Hoa Nghiem Temple.

  • Hearty Vietnamese Plant-Based Portions

    Dishes are packed with generous helpings of plant-based ingredients and savoury broths that deliver traditional Vietnamese flavours.

  • Integrated Retail Vegan Pantry

    A dedicated counter offers plant-based packaged items, mock meats, and house-made specialties to take home for everyday dining.

    They also have some pantry items for sale so I bought vegan fish sauce and vegan nuoc mam (chili fish sauce).

  • Support for Temple & Community

    Diners appreciate that dining here supports a meaningful spiritual space and tight-knit community rather than a typical commercial restaurant.

    definitely feels like you’re contributing to a community rather than a business.

  • Welcoming Group Dining Venue

    The expansive dining space provides ample seating for family gatherings and communal dining occasions.

    great local vegetarian spot that you would be very happy to support as you can dine out while also supporting the temple.

  • Unique Buddhist Temple Setting

    Situated in the grounds of the Buddhist temple, the spacious surroundings create a calming backdrop with ornate structures.

    This vegetarian restaurant is in amongst the Buddhist Temple so there's lots of beautiful structures to look at.

  • Complimentary Self-Serve Tea Station

    Guests can unwind with complimentary self-service hot tea served inside the spacious dining hall.

    Free tea was available and there's a small grocery section to take home hard to find mock meats and Vietnamese goodies.
