About Vegeme

Vegeme proves plant-based eating never has to mean meager salads or delicate tasting plates. South Brisbane diners rely on this Melbourne Street counter for hearty pan-Asian comfort that lands on tables piping hot, often within minutes of ordering. The broad lineup roams across regional street foods—from Taiwanese stinky tofu and spicy chili wontons to cabbage-packed okonomiyaki and bubbling stone pot bibimbap with crisp scorched rice. Sizable bowls of rich laksa deliver punchy warmth alongside crispy fried suji tossed in salt and pepper. Big portions keep costs low, wrapping up satisfying weekday lunches with icy house-made plum juice.

  • Pan-Asian Plant-Based Menu: Covers street-food cravings from Taiwanese stinky tofu and Japanese okonomiyaki to rich noodle soups and stone pot bibimbap.
  • Rapid Turnaround: Piping hot dishes routinely hit tables in under five minutes, even during bustling dinner rushes.
  • Hefty Comfort at Low Cost: Massive, hearty portions keep meals remarkably affordable, leaving diners with leftovers for under twenty dollars.

  • Hearty and Complete Plant-Based Comfort

    Plant-based dishes are composed so naturally that meals feel satisfying, hearty, and complete rather than restrictive.

    Not a single dish I have tried feels like it's being forced to not have meat. They feel complete.

  • Prompt Turnaround When Arriving Hungry

    The kitchen consistently prepares and serves freshly cooked meals in minutes, making it ideal for quick meals when arriving hungry.

    The preparation time was also very quick, which is a plus when you walk in feeling hungry and the aromas are tempting.

  • Speedy Execution During Peak Rush Hours

    Even during crowded evening rush hours, food is dispatched swiftly without compromising warmth or quality.

    Went with a big group on a weekday evening and the place was absolutely rammed. Still got our food surprisingly quickly, which says a lot about how well they run things.

  • Specialty Pan-Asian Street Food Varieties

    Diners can explore authentic cross-regional Asian street dishes like Taiwanese stinky tofu and rich noodle bowls under one roof.

    The currently have an in-house special (not on menu, you can see it at the front counter) - Stinky Tofu from Taiwan. Really good, would recommend. The flavours are pretty close to what you'd find on the streets in Taiwan.

  • Diverse Regional Asian Menu Selection

    A varied menu spanning laksa, okonomiyaki, and regional small plates offers exciting culinary options across visits.

    So many variety vege cuisines. Highly recommend Okonomiyaki and Laksa noodle soup.

Customer favourites and hearty comfort classics

  • Laksa

    The laksa here would be in the top 3 best laksa I've had in Australia.

  • Fried Rice

    Pair those with their Fried Rice—which is seasoned perfectly and has a great variety of textures—and you’ve got the perfect meal.

  • Bibimbap

    The ingredients were incredibly fresh and varied and portion was also quite large! You definitely can’t find a stone pot bibimbap at this price elsewhere.

  • Bean Curd Wallet

    I recommend their wontons in chilli sauce and the bean curd wallet. At such an affordable price the food is so delicious and filling.

  • Fried Tofu

    The fried tofu was another highlight. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and easily one of my favourite dishes from the meal.

    Lois Chen

  • Corn Fritters

    If you're at Vegeme, the Corn Fritters are a non-negotiable. They have a fantastic crunch and the sweetness of the corn really pops.

  • Deep Fried Suji

    the Suji was so unique and flavoured so well we kept snacking at it.
