Is it ok to plant a raised vegetable garden under a walnut tree?

No, find some other place, in the sun. Walnut tree leaves are poisonous to other plants, even after a tree is removed it is recommended to wait some time before trying to grow anything there. For heaven’s sake, do not use the leaves as mulch on your garden. I live where there once was a walnut orchard before the homes were built here over 30 years ago. There is one tree left now on this property but I learned this about walnut trees from having them growing here.

    Sure, but you probably won't get many vegetable. In my experience vegetable gardens need lots of sun. If they're under a tree there won't be enough sun and would be a wasted effort.

    Probably nothing but grass and more walnut trees will grow under a walnut tree. The tree secretes something into the dirt that prevents other plants from growing. Veggie gardens should be in the sun, not in the shade.
