Delicious food!
I love this place for really tasty vegan Chinese food!
I have had both the black pepper beef and the black olive fried rice! Both were very very delicious!
Service both times was also very friendly!
I cannot wait to go again and try more items on the menu! Too many yummy things to choose from!
Highly recommend!
Go here and you won't regret it. Vegan or not, the food here is delicious; so much so that we have come here 2 nights in a row on occasion. Highly recommend the olive fried rice. We have not had a bad dish here ever. Go now and thank us later
A fantasic local vegetarian joint with flavourful mock meats imitating very closely to its Chinese meat counterparts. As someone transitioning to a more plant focused diet, Vegie Mum is going to be a go to for me.
Loved : Char siu was great and we got kung pao chicken which resembled real chicken very well, could have been a bit spicier.
Service was great, everyone was friendly and the food was served super fast! Only waited around 5 minutes for both our main meals.
Better for next time... I ordered the vegie curry puff last minute and was very disappointed, there was probably a tea spoon of filling in it and was mostly eating the puff, luckily it wasn't pricey.
I would definently come back here with my friends to show them how vegetarian meats can be super tasty! Great value for money as well.

⭐️ 4/5 ⭐️
🍴Delicious vegetarian food at #vegiemum that has a wide array of #vegetarianoptions. We really enjoyed the stewed, soft & silky tofu that had a delicious black olive pickle sauce. The roasted “duck” was beancurd that had a nice soft yet slightly crisp texture and came with mushrooms and black fungus. As Singaporeans, it’s always amusing to see #singaporenoodles on a menu as there isn’t such a dish in Singapore itself. But we were pleasantly surprised by the tasty and affordable stir-fried beehoon (thin noodles) that had an array of mock meat probably made from flour that were well-executed

This place can veganise anything. The service was amazing and the food was even better and I say that as someone who has lived in Asia. I love the Lak-yum and the silken tofu with mustard greens. Both are a must try. Well worth a visit!!! One of my favourites in Melbourne.
One of the best fully vegetarian asian restaurant in Melbourne! We have been to their doncaster branch a couple of times however, we decided to switch things up and visit their Fitzroy branch for lunch and had an incredibly affordable and delicious meal. The whole meal (picture 2) cost us $32; shared between 2 and had 2 containers worth of leftovers.
Their olive fried rice is simple yet extremely moreish and delicious (the chef sure knows their rice frying technique).
The lak-yum’s soup was full of flavours but had too much cream and was too rich (was interesting to try but we will not order it again)
Crispy combination noodles is one of my favourite noodle dishes to order at any non-vegetarian restaurant and this vegetarian restaurant has continued to maintain my ordering mentality with a good ratio of crispy noodles to gravy, a generous amount of veggies and “meat” and a light and delicious gravy. The mock-up meat tries its best to imitate the flavours and textures of their counterparts however, I would give it a 6.8 out of 10 for mockup to meat comparisons.
And lastly, the service at this place is fanstastic! Steven was born to be in hospitality! He provided us with a complimentary chef specialty dish (“chicken” Rendang) and made us feel like we were already regular customers.
We left the restaurant feeling happy in both our moods and tummies.
There are many vegan options around the Inner North but few have the combination of delicious food, great value and staff bursting with enthusiasm. Have been here for dinner with small and large groups and have never left disappointed! Highly recommend
Brilliant food! And the floor manager was super friendly super helpful plus also looked like [young version of] Jackie Chan [I am not being racist, I have East Asian background myself!] Will definitely come back to try other items in the menu.
Honestly, I enjoyed this restaurant far more than I expected. It was a very pleasant experience, and I'm already looking forward to going back!
I've had my fair share of vegan Asian food, and I almost always end up disappointed by how underwhelming and lackluster the meal is. I've come to expect a salt and oil heavy meal, bulked up with mock meat, with not many other discernable flavours. Vegie Mum felt like a class above the standard Chinese takeaway. It was far less oily than I'm used to, so I didn't finish my dinner feeling completely weighed down by oil. The menu is also considerably smaller than some other places, so choosing a dish didn't feel like an impossible and overwhelming task. I personally think less is more on a menu, and I'm more inclined to trust that food will be good when cooks don't have to remember 100 different dishes. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly. Serving sizes were generous. We ordered vegan "honey" roasted pork and duck, black olive rice, and char kuay teow (no egg). It's easy to understand how the olive rice is so popular now that I've tried it. It sounds like a strange combo, but it really does work.
The restaurant itself seemed unfinished, and a little dated, but it wasn't dirty. I think that updating the interior could really help improve customer's overall dining experience.
