Bodhi Viet Vegan

Super delicious Vietnamese food with outdoor seating only.

We tried a variety of food and it was all really tasty and flavorful. Only thing I'd add is not to get the spicy lemongrass seitan with steamed rice if you don't like extra spicy food. This was way too spicy. Everything was so good!

Seating is simple. We sat on folding chairs and dined on folding tables. Make sure you're dressed for outdoor weather unless you're doing take out.

Everything here is amazing!!! The prices are the best in this town too. I rarely get to eat here though because I can't get it delivered, but when I do go I stock up and get lots of things because I don't know when I will be able to go back. I want it right now, i want it all the time. If you have never been, it'll be tricky to find because it's in the back of another building and you can't see it from the street. highly recommend!

Came here for an early lunch on a Saturday and ordered ahead for pickup. While there wasn't much of a line I recommend doing the same since everything is made to order and there's a small staff on hand. There also isn't really a place to sit so I wouldn't recommend planning on eating here.

This spot had been on my radar for a while as a very different looking Vietnamese experience compared to what I've had elsewhere and I couldn't have been happier with it! The menu has all sorts of dishes that were new to me and the only struggle was narrowing that down.

The overall quality of the faux meats stood out across all the dishes. They were super flavorful and didn't have any odd consistencies that I've often encountered with other fake meats. I particularly enjoyed the vegan ball baguette. Usually baguettes used for banh mis are a little too hard for my taste, but theirs was a bit softer and great as an overall sandwich.

They have a lot of sweet desserts that I'll definitely be back to explore, but we decided to try the taro bao this time and thought it was also delicious. The bun was super soft and they absolutely nailed the taro flavor.

As is often the case with non American cuisines further from the city center, they are a fantastic bang for your buck. My partner and I shared 2 entrees, an appetizer and dessert for $18. It wasn't as massive of an meal as you'd get by that description in a sit down restaurant, but we were plenty full afterwards.

Overall I'd say this is one of the best Asian food experiences I've had in Austin. Can't recommend them enough and would definitely advise coming with a large group to try as much of the menu as you can!

Our go to place for light and flavorful vegan Asian food ! Spicy lemongrass seitan is to die for! Rightly spiced and so flavorful and they serve it with rice and veggies . The pineapple curry is another favorite ! The salty lemonade is very light and refreshing and we always make sure to get it with the food . Definitely recommend if you like Vietnamese/asian inspired vegan food .

This review is very near and dear to my heart for many reasons. Firstly, this food truck is ran by the nuns at Huê Lâm temple! My family goes to this temple and these were the same nuns who led the funeral procession at my aunt's funeral. The head nun built the food truck from the ground up with her savings and the temple survives off of donations and the nuns and volunteers' hard work. So, all of the proceeds of this food truck also goes straight to supporting the temple. :)

Definitely check this food truck out even if you are not vegan/vegetarian. The price is super reasonable and the food is delicious. My Vietnamese mother and relatives love this spot since this is the same food that is cooked for temple-goers. Now, they can have it whenever they want.

There is plenty of parking space in the lot. Once parked, just follow the signs to the truck in the back. It is not loud at all so it's a great spot for a peaceful and quiet lunch. There is not a lot of seatings so I recommend ordering take-away. Also, they take both card and cash! Try out all of the dishes - you will not be disappointed.

Lastly, visit their website for any updates before going. They close from time to time for religious reasons and/or repairs to the truck: https://www.bodhivietvegans.com/

So, when you get there - walk to the back yard because it's easy to miss if you're not paying attention. I almost left.

I had a bahn mi that was absolutely incredible. This really is vegan heaven. Healthy and junk options. Come and pig out!

First of all, the prices blew me away. So cheap wowza. One plate was less than $8. I have never seen that in austin in a long time.

Got the char siu Banh Mi. The meat did not remind me remotely of real char siu. The bread was not the greatest bread in my opinion, it was so soft not my preferred banh mi bread.
The veggie steam buns were the best thing we got. So flavorful and packed full of veggies.
The shaking beef was interesting. The beef was not beefy at all but the dish overall went together well.

Everything here is so healthy, my gut left feeling clean.
There are two tables outside the truck for community style eating which is a fun twist. I got to talk to many random people sitting next to me!
Cheap food, would come again.

I love it here! Delicious vegan Vietnamese food , what other description do you want ? Haha

I couldn't think more highly of this place! The location is quirky and charming. The Chefs are kind and prepare some truly amazing fare. The prices are hard to fathom (so cheap) given how delicious it all is. 11/10 would recommend

Food could use some salt and umami (Especially because all the meat is vegan), but it's all exceptionally tasty considering it's run by nun out of a trailer in the back yard of a hair salon. There are only two tables and maybe eight chairs, so ordering pickup is the way to go.

I got a vermicelli bowl and glass noodles with "protein", both of which benefitted from soy sauce. I would be here more often for healthy lunches if they were open more days of the week.
