"Vegan•ish"

First time going. I will definitely go back and try something else on the menu. I tried the chicken steak, which was good. Very friendly staff and they answered my questions. You are able to eat in, glad it wasn’t crowed because the space is on the smaller side for dining in.

It's easily one of the best vegan spots that i've ever eaten at. On top of the fact that you don't have to eat vegan food, they have options as well. One thing I liked about it was the technology, also the customer service was really good.

The food was amazing! My husband got Jambalaya shrimp tacos (non vegan) and I got the vegan chicken cheese steak. We will be back!!

Been waiting to try this place for a while since I saw it on Instagram. It's not too far from where I live so it was very convenient to get to. It was midday lunchtime wasn't that busy which was good for me. Didn't take long for my cheesesteak, brussels sprouts and burger to come out. I love the brussels sprouts and the spicy sauce on the side was very tasty. The owner was very nice. I love the ambience and it was easy to find parking.

The vibe is smooth and relaxing from the moment you walk in the door. Now I NEVER eaten anything vegan besides maybe some French fries and the spicy chick’n sandwich is definitely something I would come back for. The presentation was great the temperature the taste and quality of the sandwich got me wanting to turn vegan rs. I’ll be back. Signed #hash last with the guitar

The atmosphere was great from the moment we walked in, the staff was so nice and chill and THE FOOD omg it’s delicious, currently eating buffalo cauliflower and a cod sandwich, both 10/10, so glad we stumbled on this place!

Food was DELICIOUS and affordable. The wait time was under 10 minutes. The staff was kind and helpful with knowledge of the menu. The carrots, ginger lemonade is a must!!

First timer here. I ordered a oyster mushroom sandwich with fries and a carrot ginger lemonade through door dash. There wasn't an option for special instructions, so I called the restaurant and they honored my request. My food arrived warm and was delicious. Will definitely return.

Ambiance was nice and the food was okay. They gave me the wrong order even though there were only three tables. They apologized, but didn't offer any comp. Gave 3 stars because the service was otherwise great (let me sample different drinks and was generally courteous).

Glad I stumbled on this place.I believe the owner rang me up and he was very nice. He convinced me to try the buffalo cauliflower and I was definitely impressed. I also got a green smoothie (excellent), the blackened salmon burrito (good - gonna try it with a different sauce), and a southwest salad (yummy, would like this to have quinoa or some grain so it's more filling though) The ambiance was great and the place was very clean. I am excited to add this into my regular work lunch rotation.

Found restaurant on Yelp and decided to try it and I'm glad I did. It's an intimate restaurant with seating if you want to dine in. I ordered the oyster mushroom sandwich and brussel sprouts and my friend ordered the blackened salmon with onion rings. The customer was very good. The guy was very personable and knowledgeable of the menu. We decided to dine in, our food was brought out to us. The presentation was good and the food tasted even better. I'll definitely come back and check them out again!

This place has been on my list to try for a while in Philly and it did not disappointment! I ordered a meal to go so I could eat during my lunch. It's definitely more on the expensive side as others have noted (I paid $40 for my meal) but the Philly Special, Chocolate Shake, and Buffalo Cauliflower I ordered were awesome. I'm certainly going to be going back and trying more things on the menu!!

First time coming here since I was in the area and wanted to try somewhere new and found this place. Doesn't seem like the greatest area with all the vacant stores all around but this place was worth checking out! Tried out a chicken sandwich with a side of fries and a smoothie and they were all really delicious and well worth the wait. Staff here was absolutely friendly and accomdating. Highly recommend visiting. Please watch that step when you walk in! Nobody was dining in so it was a nice and pleasant dine in experience.

Enjoyed my first vegan egg mushroom pita sandwich. My daughter had plant based chicken sub. The food was excellent, piping hot. The waitress was friendly, restaurant was clean. I was delightfully surprised.

The alternative vegan cheesecake was delicious! The burgers were fantastic as well--so unique and so many toppings.

ordered online for pickup and was charged just to show up to the store being closed. this isn't the first time that they were closed during the hours they're supposed to be open. really frustrating! am now disputing a charge for food that I never got!

The place was understaffed and it was a hot day. The people who had to work seemed worn out. AC was enough, at least for the customers. My bacon burger and one of my friend's bacon burger were cooked too much. My avocado smoothie was good and another one of my friends liked the french fries, which weren't bad. I'm not sure how the seafood is here. I was tempted to try, but I wanted to eat vegan because my friends are vegan and I wanted to be respectful of that since we went there because it was a vegan place nearby. The interior decor is superb and very homely. It is a nice local establishment to try to vibe up the 52nd St. business district with its neighbor next door.

What stood out the most? The customer service was great! A majority of the staff here is less than 30 years old please don't that deter you. Each person we encountered was helpful and attentive. I walked in to inform the staff I would be bringing in a disabled person. They immediately sprung into action carving out a secure section for them. While I parked my car my guest was offered a complimentary soft drink while they wait for me. NICE TOUCH! As a starter we had the buffalo cauliflower, yum! We both ordered the Chesapeake Crab Cake sandwich with fries and enjoyed it. The lemonade was very tasty not overly sweet but flavorful. Our portions were adequate and served hot. The decor is modern and bright with minimal decorations which works for the space. I found Veganish very clean from the door to the open kitchen. A hard task considering on this day they were very busy. I don't live in the area but I will return and recommend others give it a try!

Ive been to Veganish twice and each time, I have been impressed! I had a chocolate shake the first time, but now they dont do shakes anymore, so that was a lil disappointing. But the food was on point so no stars were removed. The decor is awesome, they have amazing artwork on the walls and the Ali mural is dope! The service was good, no complaints whatsoever. The cashier told me that it would take 15-20 minutes for my order, but the food came out hot and earlier than she said! A+ This visit I got some cheese fries and a fish sandwhich. The cheese fries are always top notch! The fish sandwhich was spicy with some jalapenos on it and I love spice, so it worked for me. Large tasty bun was also a plus! Overall, I enjoyed my food both times and I will definitely be a return customer! One thing- Bring back the shakes!!!! :)

Vegan-ish is a gem that can be hard to spot from the street if you're passing by (see picture for storefront). All of their dishes are vegan or fish, which is great for us. We ordered their chickenless cheesesteak which was enough for two people to split and really delicious. For sides, we ordered the Brussel sprouts and buffalo cauliflower. Brussel sprouts were okay, but the buffalo cauliflower was amazing. We had a slight mixup where they forgot to include one of the items I ordered when I picked up, but I was able to get a refund no problem when got home and called, realizing the mistake. So +1 for good customer service. Bonus points for earth-friendly cardboard containers and no plasticware! Can't wait to go back and try some more of the menu (and return for the cauliflower).

There's so much to love about Veganish! The food is full of flavor and care. It was my first stop when I got into town for a visit and it set the bar high -esp since I'm a picky pescetarian. I loved the carrot ginger lemonade as a refreshing change and the Bella sandwich was soooo good and fresh. I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

Yesss! Finally an amazing vegan place with great ambience and employees. Before my sisters and I entered, Ziyah opened the door for us because it was raining and even gave compliments to us about our outfits lol! While looking at the menu, I noticed the dope artwork displayed and music. The hip hop and rap music was not too loud but perfect to bop to in your seat. There were plenty of options to choose from and Ziyah was excellent with answering all the questions about the menu. The Cripsy Golden Tenders and Vietnamese Hoagie were very tasty! I would love to come back here to try out their other options. PS: Ziyah deserves a raise.

A very much needed vegan restaurant in the middle of a neighborhood that desperately needs it. This was my first time trying this place and it was pretty cool. Service was very fast. They have a nice menu, although small. They have delicious vegan cupcakes and pies also

I've been meaning to try this place and I finally did! I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but curious lol. My sister and I called them directly and ordered pickup for "bacon cheeseburgers" with fries on the side. Was a little taken aback that everything is a la carte, but eh, what can you do? I personally can't say how it was inside since my sister went in to get the food. She did say it looked nice and there were younger people working. Just know it's hard to park around there and I had to double-park on the famously busy 52nd Street lol. Food was ready in a decent time for direct pickup (about 20-25 minutes). The food was piping hot inside the bag and smelled amazing. Once we got settled to eat, we opened it and the burger looked like a real burger, and the smoky mushrooms that acted as bacon tasted like bacon! The cheese was good too and didn't taste plastic-y like other vegan cheese I've had before. Even though the burger was a little smushed, it was good and the fries were good too. My sister didn't like the cheese sauce they had for it but it was good to me. I'd come back to try more food. :-)

Happy New Years !!! I decided to give Veganish another try to end out my 2020. I order the Chick n Cheese steak with a side of BBQ Cauliflower. The Chick n Cheesesteak was awful. Whoever prepared the Cheesesteak used way TOOOOO much salt !!! it was inedible in every way imaginable. The BBQ Cauliflower was drenched in BBQ sauce, just didn't taste like anything special to me. I refuse to waist anymore money on this restaurant, for food that doesn't even come close to 3 stars.

I'm back!!! Lol so this was my first time having an impossible burger and I absolutely loved it--I ordered the When Smokey Sings Burger this time and it was phenomenal, probably my go to for now on my only recommendation would be to order this as a double burger because it was a lot more bread then I would've liked. Thanks Vegan-ish y'all have a loyal customer in me

Very Good!! I got the bacon cheese burger and cheese fries was delicious And the service was polite and fast, also the inside is very clean and a vibe.

I did an online order so I wouldn't have a long wait. When I walked in, the person behind the counter seemed to be busy with the two young ladies (they appeared to know each other) and didn't seem interested is getting my online order. I waited and finally got my order. It was warm, not hot. Fries were soggy, roaFood was okay but not great. There are more vegan options today. Try Veganish for yourself but I will not waste my money. They were mediocre and not worth the price.

It was the right amount, right spice and fish sandwich done right. Added the Green Ish smoothie... Very refreshing and filling on a hot day! My toddler loved it!

My vegetarian wife was really excited to hear another veg spot was opening in West Philly. So was I! Some of y'all know how hard it is to find vegetarian or vegan to take out at odd hours. Well enters vegan-ish to add those name to the West Philly specialty foods party. When we arrived the lines were literally out the door. My only pet peeve about the experience was watching some people get their food first after ordering waaaaayyy after other people. But I get it. It's opening day and things happen. The food itself was pretty amazing. Arguably some of the best vegetarian food I've had. My wife really really enjoyed it, too. My favorite was the "When Smokey Sings" burger with coleslaw and some type of special sauce. Brussel sprouts were chard perfectly. We will definitely be back but maybe in a few weeks when buzz comes down a little bit. I don't feel like waiting two hours again lol BTW The price point is pretty comparable to a place that rhythms with "Sip City Says" lol

My second time here and the guy at the register is so pleasant and accommodating! My friends and I ordered a few bacon cheeseburgers, salmon wrap, buffalo califlower, fries ! The food was good I was pleasantly surprised how flavorful the burger was and tasted like a real burger. We did have a wait ahead of us abt an hour but it was cool they offered water or coffee which Was nice. I will be back to try other options.

The place is new and cute. The Fried cod fish Sandwich. It was really tasty, a blend of sorta sweet and spicy, it was a really good amount of avocado on it. However, the cole slaw was a little too wet. The buffalo cauliflower came about 5 pieces at $5 so $1 each ? It was a little too much breading for my taste however it was nicely coated in a nice sauce. The Chickpea Burger Samosa was bomb.com so good!! If you ever had an Indian samosa it resembles the taste of that (hence its name). It was very flavorful had a great crunch and balanced out nicely with the apricot chutney. The arugula side salad $6 was very skimpy just arugula and maybe 4-5 slices of tomato. The staff were friendly and helpful. Service was slightly slow but everything is made to order. Can't wait until they get their online ordering will be back to order sandwiches:)

Great food ,healthy , vegan and great presentation I can walk to your location in West Philly,, Thank you

I ate here two nights ago and was excited to go back. Now I wish I had not tried to make a good thing happen twice in one week, because I was very disappointed! I ordered the bbq cauliflower after falling in love with it on day one. Today, it is a mass of solid veg that my fork can barely penetrate. I also ordered the "giant" avocado toast. This item is neither giant, and can barely claim to include avocado. This think piece of sourdough toast was smaller than my hand, and was accompanied by 4 slivers of avocado. I doubt even a quarter of an avocado was used tho make this. This item would be called salsa on toast. My partner ordered the chickpea samosa burger. I guess overloading it with curry sauce is what made this soggy sandwich special. We were disappointed to see that the chutney was not included, and vegan Mayo was used instead. Ya'll need to slow down. I saw 4 people working here, and only one guy cooking who was clearly overwhelmed.

The best vegan burger that I have ever tasted in my life. I'm glad that a friend recommended that I try this restaurant. The customer service is excellent as well, very nice people!

i don't recommend this restaurant at all... If i could give it a 0 star i would!!! They don't have hand held menus, i ask for a menu & was told it's on the wall, prices are high, this is not a vegan restaurant, the food is nasty, & the workers are dressed in their street clothes. The establishment is not professional at all.

Decided try Vegan-ish on a recent trip to Philly. I tried the Fried Brussel sprouts and Buffalo cauliflower. Service was good but fried foods to go didn't allow me to full enjoy my meal. On my trip to Philly I will be sure to try more menu options.

Love this place. Good selection of food that taste so good. BBQ Cauliflower And any vegan burger is a good choice

...just got takeout from the new location on 15th and spring garden....all I have to say is WOW!!!...omg the food is so f'ing good!!...we had the chikn cheesesteak-bacon cheeseburger-cheese fries-avocado toast-and Buffalo cauliflower...and everything as beyond expected and we usually expect great food when we're trying something new, and like I said, the food went way beyond beyond expectations. Good luck on the new location guys-and We'll be in again very soon (this week immediately )

With all the promising reviews, I had high hopes for Vegan-ish. My mistake was ordering to-go from this restaurant; I think dining in would offer a much better experience in terms of the food quality. I tried the cauliflower wings, which were completely completely soggy and soft and mushy by the time I tried it. The burger I got was also simply soggy and tasted too sweet. When I came into the restaurant to pick up my order, it took awhile before anyone came to help me with my order. I gave them my name, which was actually the wrong name, and they looked like they went to look for my name. I stood there for 15 minutes with no updates. Luckily, my bf came into the restaurant and told me and them that it's under his name.

I did not like this AT ALL. Crab burger- fell completely apart including bread, it was just a mess. Buffalo cauliflower- nope, greasy falling apart. I don't know what happen here, can't win them all.

‍ AMAZING!!!!!! I love everything here! Great customer service! Food is delicious! The ambiance is Beautiful!!! I will come again, and again, and again!!!!!! This is a quality restaurant that the world needs!

Great food. Great service. Food is delish!! Doesn't even taste vegan and it's good for you.

Burger wasn't bad. Fries were disappointing. Lacks value without value meals or combos. The Jack up is on with everything A la carte!!!

I was here a few years ago once or twice and the food is very tasty but, being vegan, it is quite low calorically. This, coupled with the prices, makes it not worth it for me because it is not filling at all. It's upsetting to pay $15 for a sandwich and still feel starving. I haven't gone back, but I have to give them some stars for what I remember of it being tasty, the service being good, and the decent ambiance.

The hummus sandwich was awesome, well seasoned and inspired me to make myself; been back 3 more times.

Black owned vegan restaurant in West Philly? Yes, its a must try! Veganish delivered excellent flavor, freshness, and there was plenty of food to keep you full! We tried two of the burgers, fries and buffalo cauliflower. We were full and fulfilled. Everything on the menu sounds delicious and love they offer seafood options (the "ish" part). Definitely going back! Oh, and the customer service was prompt and polite, and they provided updates due to delays (COVID).

I was able to try this restaurant over the Christmas holiday. We ordered the chicken cheesesteak, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts. Best vegan sandwich I have ever had. One thing I would critique is restaurant uses the same cooking oil for most of their dishes which allows things to become greasy I think. So next time I'll probably only order one item. But the service was superb especially with COVID CauliflowerBrusselsChickenless Cheesesteak

Ordered on their website 3 burgers, cauliflower Buffalo, cheesy fries and 2 smoothies. Arrived after estimated time for pick up. Waited over 30 min at the restaurant and then received cold food. I had to heat it up in the oven and I am 8 min away from restaurant. the Buffalo cauliflower felt like it just came out of the fridge. I ordered food around 524. I tried to support smalll restaurant but will Not order again for cold food. The restaurant itself was really pretty.

Would not recommend. This place was recommended to me by a friend while I was visiting Philly and the food was okay, but we also ordered 2 shakes that they were not able to fulfill on our order. I'm not sure why, they just said they didn't have shakes that night but also said they cannot refund the order. We ordered pickup through Postmates. I've contacted postmates 4 different times via 4 different avenues and they all state it is the restaurant's responsibility to process the refund. It has now been nearly a month and I have been calling veganish weekly to check the status of this. Initially I met a nice employee who was trying to help and process it. Today I called and got a very rude employee who said "I can't really help you there's nothing I can do". He gave me the number to "the owner". I called that number and it is out of service. I am extremely stressed financially right now, and wanted to support this business while in Philly for an emergency situation and the only thing I got out of it was losing money and time for nothing. I guess go here if you want to pay for okay vegan food and also pay for items you never receive with no option for a refund...

Love this new spot on 52nd St. It is very refreshing to have more options than chinese takeout and pizza in this area! Veganish offers vegan and pescatarian foods. I ordered off Postmates with my sister and received our order within 30 min. I had the philly special burger and fries and she had the crab cake sandwich. Let me just say the fries were fresh, crispy and delicious! I will def be making this my spot for fries. The sandwiches were also good, my burger was an imitation meat rather than a veggie burger. Definitely yummy and fresh. I will be back!

This place is fire!!! The blackened salmon wrap is amazing. It has ruined my life for the better, I look at everyone else's salmon as inferior (even my own). The fries are addicting and go great with ketchup or even bbq sauce if that's your vibe. On the days that I do not feel like picking up a pot or pan I can rely on this spot for a clutch meal. Thank you Vegan-ish please keep that salmon wrap!!!

What a delight to find both a black-owned and plant based restaurant. The restaurant is clean , the food is good, and the staff are pleasant.

This was my first time trying! I'm give it 4 stars only because I never dined inside nor ordered inside. I order online off yelp thru grub hub . The menu was good. I choose the the Chesapeake bay crab sandwich and fries. My order was completed quick and ready for pick up . I was able to park out front . Due to the. Here the pandemic issue, curbside only and delivery I believe. There was a few people at the door area waiting. I sat in the car, then called to check if my food was done and they young lady brung the bag out to me. She was friendly and very welcoming. Now let's talk about the food!! Hands down .... awesome PERIOD!! The flavor, texture and taste was so good! Fries was hot and of quality! I enjoyed every bit! If this was not real crab meat then I was fooled lol Yes I recommend yes I'll return and it was good price and yes good customer service when I called. A must go must try! West Philly gem! Black owned!

Vegan burger and vegan cheese fries, a vegan fattys' dream. I tried the bacon cheeseburger and the nacho burger with a side of fries and brussel sprouts. The burgers were delicious. I really love how restaurants are experimenting with imitation bacon. The fries were okay. Pretty much your run of the "meal"restaurant fries. Better than McDonalds but nothing on Chick-fil-a. I was salivating in anticipation of the brussle sprouts and I was sadly disappointed. They were okay. I was hoping they might be a little more crispier. Over all the food is decent and the vibe is nice. The playlist was hitting and didn't make the wait too bad. The staff was pretty nice. However, they charged us a dollar for sauce on the side, which I thought was very capitalist, but it works in their favor because my boyfriend loves sauce.

Wonderful vegan(ish) sandwich shop! Took my friend here for her birthday, we ordered the chick'n sandwich and the bbq burger (Smokey...) song with fries and Brussels. The brussel sprouts were seasoned well, not as crispy as preferable but very good. We both enjoyed our meals and were stuffed afterwards. I like they had a little side salad with the meal. I ended up adding those greens inside my sandwich Bc I wanted some greenery. Overall, can't wait to visit again - thumbs up! We went on a Friday night around 4:30 and it was quite busy. Parking is in the neighborhood/street.

This hip and stylishly decorated restaurant is a must try! I'm as carnivorous as they come and I thoroughly enjoyed my "chicken" sandwich with a spicy aoli and the Vietnamese hoagie, with a side of fries and the green smoothie. At first glance, it looked like those production-perfect sandwiches from a commercial. The "chicken" patty was thick, well seasoned and crispy on the outside. I also liked the bread they use. The vegetarian take on the Vietnamese hoagie was pretty spot on. If I order it again, I would just request that the roll be a little less toasted. The mushrooms to replicate the meat texture were very well seasoned. The fries were very good and I like that they don't basically powder them in salt. It's a subtle saltiness, as it should be. The green smoothie was cool and refreshing. I also had a sip of the non-dairy chocolate shake and it was amazing. Oddly enough, it perfectly complimented the fries, so when I go back, I'll get one with a side of fries to dip into it, lol!. +1 for the environmental-friendly paper straws!
