Bodhi Viet Veggie Cuisine

Bodhi Viet Vegans is my family favorite place to stop by to eat whenever we visit Austin. There are so many delicious dishes at this place. Crspy rice patty which is a new an additional item on the menu which is now our new favorite dish. We often order Golden fried egg rolls, Lemongrass Turmeric steam rice seitan, Savory BBQ noodle, Bodhi Spicy Noodle - Bun Hue and Crispy sesame ball for desert (delicious mung bean filling). I would highly recommend this place.

Highly recommend them! High protein, healthy and tasty vegan food. Can’t wait to go back. I wish they were open a bit longer.

Food great, people awesome. Vegan boba?! Try the taro milk tea. Not too sweet, with a great flavor. My friend loved the green tea version. We went two times. Seeing the regulars interact with the staff was so telling. People come not just for the food but the great service. It was challenging to find the actual food truck. It’s not visible from the street. Look for the signs and they will lead you to it. It’s right next to a psychic shop. If you’re not super into fake meat, this may not be your vibe. I prefer tofu and wish there were more tofu based dishes. The tofu is deep fried with a beautiful crisp. The caramelized and orange tofu were delicious!! Most of the side veggies were steamed cabbage/carrot. A little plain but a healthy contrast to the heavier elements. Portions are so generous! Sesame balls, hot and crispy with a mung bean/coconut filling. Perfect way to end the meal. If you eat outside, the flies are bad and very offputting. best to get take out. Not a critique of the biz at all, just heed my warning.

Rating: 3.8/5 Bodhi is a vegan food truck run by local Buddhist nuns/volunteers. I love the mission they believe in—that wholesome vegan food is the key to a peaceful and healthy lifestyle. I recommend ordering to go, as your food will be aggressively attacked by flies if you try to eat there. Also, this is a CASH ONLY place, even if you order online. Their menu is hugeee, so it took us a while to decide what to get, but the prices are unbeatable for what you get. They also prepare the food pretty quickly and package everything nicely. Deep Ocean ($9): Crispy soy protein, chili, garlic, seaweed toast, and special chef sauce served on a bed of white rice. The best thing we tried here. The soy protein had a nice crunch, great flavor, and an addictive quality. In my opinion, you don’t really need the rice—they can be eaten like French fries. Banh Mi Seitan BBQ ($6): It was really good the first time, but just okay the second. There was less "meat," and it lacked flavor. The bread was also soft, so I don’t think they toasted it. Banh Mi Char-siu ($5): Not even close to char-siu texture or flavor, but it wasn’t bad. Same issue with the bread and overall lack of flavor. Sticky Rice ($7): Soy protein, steamed sticky rice, crispy shallots, green onion, topped with house sauce. This item requires you to call in or order online ahead of time, as it takes a while to make. When we got it, it looked like they forgot the green onions. This vegan version lacked umami and isn’t something we’d recommend. Signature Broken Rice ($9): Broken rice with shredded meatless protein (Cơm Tấm Bì), fried shredded potatoes, grilled BBQ seitan, char-siu, and homemade sauce. A great dish to start with since you get to try different proteins, and they give a generous portion. It was good but paled in comparison to the Deep Ocean.

My family & I absolutely LOVEEEEE this spot! We have been loyal customers for about 6 years now, driving a whole hour just to indulge in their authentic cuisine. My daughter is obsessed with the ramen & I most definitely take a 12pc of …
