"Vegan-ish is a Black-owned, plant-based restaurant with two locations (one in West Philly and this one, in Spring Garden). They serve food for all kinds of vegans: hungover ones who need to be revived by a BEC and a smoothie, salad-obsessed runners training for a marathon, and those who just love cinnamon bun cupcakes. There are a couple of burgers and flatbreads on the menu, but the “chicken” cheesesteak is the way to go. Order at the counter, then either enjoy your sandwich in the tiny, tile-filled space or head home." - candis mclean

Absolutely delicious and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. They offered to answer any questions I might have and were fun to interact with. This is probably the best vegan food I’ve ever had and better than several real meat burgers I’ve had. The flavors are really what makes this place so great, and it’s incredibly filling. I leave feeling stuffed but not bad about myself. Honestly the only negative I have about this place is that they didn’t have their vegan milkshake available anymore (at least on their kiosk… maybe I should have asked the chef…) which was phenomenal when I had it last time, and vegan food makes me gassy lol 😂🤣😂 I love that they were playing music from the late 90s and early 2000s this time I visited. It was nostalgic for my millennial self.

Never thought I’d be able to have a buffalo chicken cheesesteak again when I went vegan earlier this year. So happy to have been proven wrong with this crazy good sandwich (pro tip: ask for buffalo sauce on their chick’n cheezesteak). Was immediately greeted by the cooks and had a great conversation with them too! Must try for vegans and non vegans alike!

We have been meaning to try this spot out for a while & we are glad we did. Vegan fast food done in a way akin to Hip City Veg, but boosted up a couple pegs & a bit more affordable. We had the chicken tenders / strawberry shakes / fries / the burger & the spicy chicken burger & all of them were highly enjoyable & prepared well. My partner asked while eating the burger “are we sure this isn’t meat?” Thanks again, we’ll be back!

Loves it. We had the chick’n cheezsteak and the oyster mushroom sandwich. Highly recommend both of them. The mushroom sandwich has a bite that rivals the best poboy one would find in New Orleans. Seasoned and fried to perfection! It should also be noted that the staff working here are extra kind and helpful :)

The sweet potato pie was delicious. Good combination of cinnamon & sugar . The creole shrimp burger was pretty good as well. The fries were well seasoned. I also added a side of cheese to dip my fries in and that was a different kind of taste, I can’t put my finger on it but it wasn’t nasty. The service was a bit off putting. There was a mixup with the order, due to their online website. I’ll take partial responsibility for that. I was not aware of their other location. I placed an order online and noticed once the order was complete that it was at a location on the other side of the city. I contacted them immediately and they said do not worry about it, I’ll take care of it. Only to find out once I arrived at the initial location, the order was cancelled. I asked if there was a refund for the order being canceled and they first said I had to contact Uber eats, I reminded them that I ordered from their website. After a brief inconvenience, they then created my order again in front of me.

Decided to try this place out and I wasn’t disappointed. At first, I was like how is this going to taste because I got the Philly special which is comparable to long hots. I was so taken back because it so unexpectedly delicious 🤤 I’ll definitely be returning!

Absolutely terrible. It says in the description that it is a vegan restaurant. It is not. Stop using vegan for not vegan places ! I ended up being given a real seafood wrap. Now imagine what happens when people are allergic to not vegan products??

Kinda like a vegan subway. Good for what it is: inexpensive quick vegan food in the city. Chickn Cheesesteak, sweet potato fries were good. Sandwich was huge and easily shared. Each half was very large on its own and looked like we ordered 2 sandwiches. Mushroom bacon, Fried brussels and ginger lemonade were excellent. Small inside with just a few tables. Clean bathroom. Outlet to charge your phone. Women who prepared and served food was very nice.

We are a family of plant-based pescatarians who like to also avoid dairy, so Veganish is the perfect spot to live walking distance from! From burgers to sandwiches to shakes and juices, Veganish has something for everyone! I love how you can also choose to have breakfast any time of the day! Their burger was amazing and juicy and made to order just for me. We enjoyed some cold cream soda and root beer alongside of our meal the other day and those are a new favorite! Come on the weekends, too, for BRUNCH!

The restaurant is small upstairs, they do have a downstairs but I didn't go down there. I had my food to go. The person taking my order was very attentive, I told her I've never been there before and she gave me the menu, there was still time for brunch orders. I liked everything except for the oyster mushroom sandwich. Where the sauce was at was tasty, but the rest of it was bland. The "cheese steak" was the best. I was actually surprise because I use to get a vegan chicken cheesesteak from a place called Govindas and haven't had a good once since. You can't go wrong with fries. The waffles has drizzles of spicy syrup so don't be surprised. Overall I would go back and try other things on the menu.

I stopped here before hitting the road. I'm trying to eat cleaner, so I figured I'd give this place a try. The people here are really nice/chill. They accommodate you as best as they can. My girlfriend is someone who tends to modify her orders a lot, and they helped her out a bunch. I ordered the salmon wrap, and she ordered the burger. I liked the flavors of the salmon wrap, but I didn't like the fact that I was still hungry afterward. It was tasty, but it wasn't really filling. I felt like there could've been more salmon in the wrap. I felt as if there was a lot of kale and a little salmon. My girlfriend loved her burger. She said she would, without a doubt, come back for it lol. Her only critique was on the fries. I agreed with her when she said the friend could've been a bit crisper. Other than that, the food tasted really good, and I can see myself coming back here.

After finishing an appointment late in the afternoon I was hungry and wanted to find something within walking distance of where I was parked. The reviews said this was the place of the best vegan burgers in town, and it was the closest place to boot. Perfect! When I got there I asked the woman at the counter what their best burger was and she recommended "The Philly Philly." It's a monstrous burger with two Impossible patties, cheese and who knows what, but it was absolutely delicious. I added a side of fries and sat to enjoy it there. I highly recommend checking out this place for some great vegan food!

Listen when I tell you this place was absolutely amazing! For starters they had excellent customer service. They were able to get us in and accommodate a group of 12 unexpectedly. They were kind , patient, and answered my one thousand questions. Now when it came to the food let me be the first to tell you they did not disappoint. Like omg the food was so damn good! I ordered the Philly Philly burger and the Buffalo chicken sandwich and both were chefs kiss. It was so good and I was so hungry that I literally couldn't even wait to take a photo of it. Parking was a bit of a tumultuous experience lol. Also I wasn't in love with my shake it was way to watery.

The place is very cute and cozy. There's an upstairs area with TV's. The place isn't big but comfortable. The workers were nice. The food was really good. I loved what I ordered. The fried cod was well seasoned, breaded and fried. Fries were perfect.

I've never made a YELP review before, so here's a very honest review. I would like my money back. I just paid $44.00 on UberEats. I ordered a cheeseburger with caramelized onions and vegan cheese, I also ordered the BBQ cauliflower wings and ranch dressing. Cauliflower wings $16.10 (WHAT ??) Burger $11.98 Caramelized onions $1.27 Ranch dressing $0.95 The food taste PHENOMENAL, but it feels like I was taken FULL advantage of. My total came to $44.00 (and change), and I AM HUNGRY. There were like 6, maybe 7 small-medium sized cauliflower wings, FOR $16.10. Please help... How did you come up with that price point??? I'd rather it be overpriced and receive an appropriate amount of food, but this is overpriced and pathetic. I knew, once my UberEats driver handed me the bag, that it did not feel like $44.00 worth of food. Will never order from there again, unless they consider the portion sizes. I'm still hungry. Again, its not the taste, but the portion size. Again, I'm still hungry. You've been warned. Julian

I stopped by for a quick bite to top off my long day, and Vegan-ish satisfied! The bella mushroom sandwich was very tasty. Everything tasted fresh and it was the right amount of pesto and mayo. It was just enough for the sandwich to not be dry and also not over saturated with sauce (which i like). The fried brussel sprouts were perfectly seasoned and fried and they give you A LOT. It was nice and quaint and I was able to get some work done. Definitely see myself visiting gain, there are more items on the menu that I want to try.

I am not vegan, but occasionally like to eat it. This place was AMAZING and I honestly cannot wait to come back! Restaurant was big with a ton of space for indoor dining, extremely clean and the staff was so kind and helpful. I ordered the bangin blackened salmon burrito, which deserves a 10/10. So much flavor and very filling. A bit pricey after taxes especially since it does not come with any sides, but worth it if you treat yourself to healthy food like this every now and then. This place is so close to me that I would love to make a habit of coming here once every other week for lunch or dinner. I highly recommend this place even if you are not vegan, like me :)

Food was fine. If you like vegan food, this place will do the job. Some of the best fries I've had anywhere. However, there was just no vibe at all. No music, no ambiance, just a movie playing really loudly. The staff seemed surprised to have customers. Some of the better vegan food I've ever had! A playlist and a "hello" when someone walks in the door would go a long way.

We went for a comedy night on Friday, we had a great time. I had the Oreo shake, and it was delicious. You could order at the table and then someone would bring up your items to your table upstairs!

The Food was fantastic, the location is scenic. You can take a nice walk down green street and have a great meal. The service was great, too.

A flavorful spin on vegan classics. Shout out to the chef, this cheezsteak is worth the trip across the Ben Franklin.

Food was amazing! I'm vegetarian and brought a vegan friend of mine. So nice to have SO many great options!!

I wish I could give this place 5+ stars. The food itself was out of this world and so full of flavor. We ordered the Chick'n Cheezsteak, When Smokey Sings Burger, Fries, Side of Cheese Sauce, Vanilla Shake & Oreo Shake. The cheese sauce was so good I wanted to dump that on everything! The shakes were so good we had to stop on our way out of the city to grab another one.

The food was Amazing and I'm not even vegan! The woman at the desk was super kind and didn't make me feel nervous at all. There's two floors and it very clean with privacy. Absolutely can't wait to bring my friends who will visit from LA in a few weeks.

I'll be back! Food was tasty, and the staff provided a good recommendation for my first visit. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, and I was pleasantly surprised. I ate thee entirely burger AND fries!! Also, it was filling and wasn't overpriced. If you're looking for good vegan/plant-based options, give them a try!

If you aren't familiar with the area, you may miss it because I drove right past but, so happy I was able to checkout Veganish. We came a little after the lunch rush and the place was empty. Was greeted immediately and was able to put in our order. Now I learned that everything on the menu is vegan outside of the seafood options. So for the vegans and pescatarians of the world. This place place is for you!! Pretty sweet right? Now to the food, I ordered the shrimp tacos which were incredible and I made very life work of them. A little disappointed that there were only 2 but they were soo good and I was starving. The vibe upstairs was really dope as well. They have paintings/murals all throughout the building and the staff was really nice. Definitely recommend and would 100% come back.

Ordered Veganish through Grub Hub because I was starving and wanted to eat something that was sort of healthy. First, let me just say the customer service was stellar! The young man at the register was helpful and engaging. I ordered the Philly Philly burger which is a double stack cheeseburger with long hots and barbecue sauce. It was by far the best vegan burger I've had to date! The long hots and bbq combo gave a nice sweet and spicy taste with a little saltiness coming from the Chao cheese and the potato bun was soft and fresh. Amazing! I also ordered a vegan chocolate chip cookie that was delicious as well. It was a little pricey ($5) but it soft, chewy and fresh.

This place is so good! The mushroom Flatbread is delicious as well as the sandwiches . Pricing is more than fair and portions are great. My favorite thing here is the Vietnamese sammie; the flavors just meld so well together

Alexa B.

Yelp
The Nacho burger is my favorite. Perfect greasy food that isn't tooooo greasy. I can have a burger without feeling gross after! And they don't try to make things overly healthy just because they're vegan. There are two locations so just be careful when placing an online order to make sure it's the right one

If you are in search of good vegan food and/or fish dishes, look no further :) This food is so so good! On top of the amazing food, prices are average and more than fair for the quality of the food, and the customer service is above and beyond. So far we have tried the vegan chicken cheesesteak, Buffalo cauliflower, the salmon burrito, the cod wrap, and the mushroom bacon cheeseburger, and would certainly recommend them all.

Danielle B.

I can't say much about it, as the food is not for me. I came here for my husband, and he ordered a bunch of stuff (thinking he would take some of it home). By the time we were done he ate everything and was highly impressed. He will be going back.

My first time here and definitely did not dissapoint! Great food, great service, would highly reccomend to anyone, vegan or not. The mushroom bacon was suprising and extremely tasty. Very reasonable prices too! Will be stopping in again asap.

I was in town for work and was looking for a good vegan/pescatarian spot for dinner. I came across this place on yelp and was excited to try it due to all the positive reviews. I ordered the blackened salmon burrito and fries. I didn't like the burrito at all. It was very greasy and salty, took two bites and couldn't finish it. I did enjoy the fries and the carrot ginger lemonade. The employees were very nice and the place was clean.

Jacob B.

Good food, good vibes and the vegan chicken cheesesteak is unreal!! Highly recommend the chocolate shake as well.

Was going to go to another place in he same area and it was closed. So landed on trying Veganish. Not vegan however they had some seafood on the menu which was right up my alley. Did the shrimp tacos and a carrot/ginger lemonade. Yummy!!! Was super fresh and tasty. Service was spot on and the place is super cute. Definitely worth checking weather you are vegan or not.

This place is everything. I love it and glad I found a location so close to me! The food is amazing and the service is great! So happy I made it in and will be back quite often!

So delicious! I can't wait to try other things on the menu. I got the chicken cheez steak, cheez fries, and Buffalo chicken tenders. Everything was cooked perfectly and so tasty. Great vegan option!!
