VegieHut 老地方 — Restaurant in Melbourne

Food was alright, but the attitude of their staff is downright disgusting.

The person ushering us to our seats was nearly barking at us and even before we made it to our seats we were asked if we wanted "plates". I was caught off guard as I learnt that they either provide the chinese cutlery (bowl and chopsticks) or the usual cutlery (plate, spoon and fork) but not both! Their menu also says a minimum spend of $22 per adult at the restaurant - never seen this at any other reputable store.

The real fun came when we ordered the egg fried rice, however what came to us didnt have egg in it. This set off the indignant lady at the service and tried to convince us that we ordered this. When asked for the manager, I was told the manager was unavailable for this. The lady proceeded to grab the plate off the table and took it away. So much for consent. At this point we couldn't wait to leave this place.

Every member of the staff had a smug sense of superiority and treated diners with contempt (unless customers were white I guess) and that is why despite the food being overall acceptable, albeit very overpriced and greasy - I will never be returning to this restaurant or...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for VegiHut – Box Hill

VegiHut has been a family favourite of ours for years , and for good reason. The food is always very, very tasty, with bold, authentic flavours and a huge variety of vegetarian dishes that even the non-vegetarians in our family absolutely love. Whether you're after something hearty and spicy or light and comforting, there’s always something on the menu that hits the spot.

You can really tell that VegiHut has been around for generations — there’s a sense of tradition and consistency that makes each visit feel reliable and welcoming. The service is friendly and down-to-earth, and even when the place is busy (which it often is), the team handles it with a smile.

The only downside is the parking situation — it can be a bit challenging right outside. We usually recommend parking near the town hall and walking over; it’s a short stroll and well worth it.

If you’re in Box Hill and looking for seriously good vegetarian food with flavour, history, and heart behind it, VegiHut is a must-visit. We keep coming back and always...

We used to be regular customers, but since our son moved away from Box Hill, we have been dining at other vegetarian restaurants in the other areas. Last night was an unsatisfactory experience as we found out the food quality was not as good as before and the service was even worse. The lady at the cashier was extremely rude even though we were trying to conduct an ice-breaking conversation with her. My husband and I ordered four dishes, and only the Taru Duck was acceptable. Even though it is relevantly more expensive than other vegetarian restaurants, we wouldn't mind as long as the food quality and service is good. In our case, we paid more but were treated unnecessarily below industry standard. Their attitude was cold and they don't have any patience to most of the customers (Don't know how they decide who deserves more friendly treatment?). My husband and I will definitely NOT return to...
