    Strawberry vegan shake
    Arcadia S.

    Fine food prepared with love in a family-run nook of a "takeaway only" restaurant. The lady who took our order and made my strawberry shake was welcoming and nice. Pricing is the main issue. Yes, restaurants are coping with higher costs in general but Philly Vegan is more expensive for less exciting food than comparable vegan restaurants in the RVA area. The food is tasty enough (our party of 3 got different items and taste-tested from one another) but the portions don't justify the price, imo. Apple pie spring roll was my favorite thing I tried. Not to discourage anyone from giving Philly Vegan a try (goodness knows we'll take all the vegan fast food options we can get), but do be sure and try the other spots, as well. Yes: VEGAN

    Banana pudding shake

    Last day of V72 week, and I finally got the chance to try PV. I heard they were good, but wasn't prepared for the tasty chicken Philly sliders. They were in hot dog buns for bread that on site I was worried would be soggy, thankfully they weren't. What they were is delicious. They were full of "chicken" and just enough cheese to make it creamy and Philly good. I a,so got a side of fries, they were heavily seasoned, but not too much, it was the way I like them, topped it all off with a banana pudding shake. When I tell you not only was everything delicious... that shake was like having dessert. Perfect ending to my meal.

    Philly Vegan is definitely a little hole-in-the-wall spot. This was my first (and only) time going, and the people there were really helpful with me. Honestly, the food was hit or miss for me. The subs weren't my favorite and some of the flavors tasted a little weird, but that's kind of expected with vegan substitutes. On the other hand, the egg rolls, regular fries and milkshakes were good. It was the "meat" and gravy sauce that was weird to me. Overall, not somewhere I'd go back to, but worth checking out for the experience.

    I was starving, found myself in Richmond, Virginia, and baby - Philly Vegan on Hull St to the rescue! So I got the Philly Cheesesteak (beyond the steak) with everything. I love the video menu narrated by Momma C - so I got the strawberry shake (oat based). The young man asked me if I wanted fries, but trying not to have a big back. The place was very cute. I love the pictures on the wall. I wanted to sit down, but it's not a sitdown spot. I always start my experience with five stars and deduct as I go along. I deducted a star because my food was salty, but with the service and ambience and that shake (which was on the money), another star grew. Plus when I tried to pick up my Cheesesteak with my hands, it was just too big! I had to use a knife and fork, but taking a bite out of the whole sandwich was awesome. If you're in Richmond, VA check it out. Enjoy the pics (I'm not a photographer.)

    A sampler platter with enough for Two!

    Let me get right to the point.... Get the SAMPLER!!!! Trust me, you want to ONLY get the sampler! It is a combo meal of cheesesteak fries, a mini Philly cheesesteak and one of their world famous Philly egg rolls. There is so much food on that thing, it really is enough for two people, but if you are greedy, like me, you will eat it all! The deliciousness of this food is nothing short of angelic! Now the reason I say get just the SAMPLER it sets you up for future visits. I now know I want the whole cheesesteak next time. My daughter took one bite of the egg roll And it became her favorite! This will be the first restaurant I find each and every time I come To Richmond. I sure hope you consider franchising to Va Beach.

    We ordered over the phone, the hostess was very nice and explained things very well as it was our first time ordering. The Philly supreme was very good and flavorful, we tried the special sauce that comes with and that was good also. We also ordered the tots and veggie egg roll, everything was very good! When we went inside to pickup the food, the customer service from another staff member was also excellent. The apple pie was good, I wish the egg roll itself was a little sweeter but in the sauce it marries it all together, If you're vegan and even if you're not, it's worth a try.

    Food was good. The Philly burger was excellent. I ordered the burger and Philly cheese egg rolls. All food is cooked to order and comes out in a timely fashion. Kind and courteous staff that are eager to assist with your order. Ambience is irrelevant as this is a takeaway only establishment. My only gripe is the cost. I paid 24.41 for two items.

    I'm obsessed! I keep getting it delivered to my office! The first time I bought it, I was nervous if accidentally bought meat.

    Oh Rings(sauce not included)
    Sharvani M.

    Amazing food! Picked up three dishes on a busy Wednesday (the only downside is Philly Vegan closes at 7pm so it takes some planning for a dinner visit for order pickup). Service was very nice as well from my partner who picked up the food. Shared the Philly Cheesesteak Loaded Nachos, Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, and Spicy Chhay Burger with a side of Oh Rings. The nachos were soooo good! They were properly LOADED unlike other joints that skimp on toppings, and the flavor was delicious. My partner said it tasted just like chili-cheese nachos in elementary school - you could not tell it was all vegan. Egg rolls were super good too, just wish there was more cheese inside. Onions rings were some of the BEST I've ever had - crispy, with great flavor, and the best part is the onion didn't fall out when you bit into the ring! Soo good. Chhay burger was delicious and the sauce was genuinely spicy (unlike other places the spicy sauce is just bland) and the burger was hearty and filling with tasty toppings. Overall would totally come here again! Definitely vegan junk food so pretty unhealthy but DELISH.

    Philly Vegan is a must try. If you're in the downtown Richmond area be sure to stop through. Its directly across the bridge from downtown. And you won't regret it. There is parking along the street, there is a lot adjacent to the restaurant but I'm not positive if you can park there. The service at Philly Vegan was top tier. The lady at the counter -I believe to be one of the owners- asked if it was my first-time in. She proceeded to give me an overview of the menu pointing out their most popular items. She also notified me of the deals they had on the milkshakes and lemonade. I opted for the lemonade it was soooo good. The food is made fresh and came out hot. I believe I may have waited about 5-10 mins. The restaurant itself isn't large, there isn't an option to dine in but I'm here to tell you with this menu you're going to want to enjoy your meal at home. I ordered the sampler which included the classic philly cheesesteak, the cheesesteak fries and cheesesteak eggrolls. I couldn't believe the portion size. My entire to-go container was packed with all this delicious food. The food lacked no flavor at all.

    Lentil patty lettuce wrap, onion rings, side of pickles
    Amanda A.

    First, let me just say DAYUM. I'm on a soy- and dairy-free diet due to breastfeeding a little one with sensitivities, and finding an allergy-conscious restaurant can be tricky. This place was top-notch in terms of food and costumer service. The menu very clearly states which items contain and do not contain certain allergens, and the reviews were very promising, so I decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did! The onion rings were sooooo good, and I was really happy with the lentil patty lettuce wrap. The staff inside were friendly and very helpful. Will def be coming back!

    Dolphin B.

    Customer service was great. We were given suggestions and options to add. The food was hot, like I like it. My french fries were golden and a little crispy, I got the cheesesteak and fries. I didn't have the all the vegetables(onions peppers and mushrooms) that it comes with. I opted out and paid the extra $2 for extra meat. They have some pictures on the wall of the owners and staff... however the best pictures are the artwork from others and some of the local business's products (ie:customized shirt) They have the company's name and social media info under their product. This is straight take out. There are no places to sit inside at all. You can call your order in our have it delivered by one of the delivery services everyone uses. If you decide to come by parking, is on the street only. Oh and you don't have to pay for it...well, I didn't. Go check them out!!! Black owned and reppin my hometown too... extra love for that

    Red Double Lentil Burger with Cheese and Fries
    Dakiesh C.

    This right here was very unexpected and THE BOMB. We were immediately greeted and the customer service was very genuine and welcoming. My boyfriend grandmother is best friend with owner's granddaughter so we came here to check the food out and I was blown away. They always say it's expensive to go Vegan.. well i'm a quality over quantity gal and let's say i'd go full Vegan after stuffing my mouth with the "Red Double Lentils Burger" . The burger was very crunchy and seasoned along with the fresh toppings and additional sauce. I was flattered at how big and juicy this burger was amongst the taste I was just in awe. The fries were seasoned to perfection and they definitely give you a load of food. I also ordered the Vanilla Oreo Cookie Milkshake which came with the golden oreos and tasted just like a banana pudding cake omg it was delicious. I would definitely come back here.

    Still a winner but watch out because the price can sneak up on you if you order faster than you…read moreeat. Reservations made well in advance is a must unless you're going at less popular times. Unfortunately parking is always a challenge because of reserved parking so plan ahead and come early if I have a reservation. Lots of steps leading up into the building but there is a ramp for handicap access. Kids were in town so we were visiting all our favorite places. Blue Atlas tapas style variety is always a hit with us. The only disappointment this time was the Elote dumplings. They were basically just corn gnocchi. Not a terrible flavor, but wouldn't bother ordering again. We started with some pretty fun cocktails, and a highlighted wine which I wish I could remember the name of...i think it started with N...It was a light bodied wine with mild floral notes, and a Prosecco feel without the bubbly that went perfect with all the plates. For cocktails, we got tea ceremony, la Siesta, Nicolada. I loved la Siesta and Tea ceremony for their uniqueness and smooth delivery. My son has a sweet tooth for cocktails, which the Nicolada fit but probably a little too sweet for me. For food we got the ever reliable pork belly Bao buns -a bit on the pricey side when you have to order extra to serve a table of four at $6 each, Next the aforementioned elote dumplings, -tacos de trucha which was good but not my favorite, -hanger steak, -Malaysian fried chicken - delicious and a good deal, -shish Barak; unique, and very tasty, -Vietnamese prawn toast, which was delicious , - -steamed mussels- good and enjoyed by most, and the -tortilla Española; solid but underwhelming compared to everything else. Also ordered the Brie special with toast that I loved but some of us got part of the rind which there was a lot of so wasn't as enjoyable for them but the flavors were there. Would've liked a few more heavy protein options but this did not affect our enjoyment of the meal. The hanger steak exceeded my expectations. I'm not always up for steak, but this was done perfectly and well accompanied with a marinated summer squash, cherry tomatoes, and pickled peppers. For dessert we got the ice cream sandwich and the chocolate banoffee budino. They were all out of the Black Forest meringue, so unfortunately, we could not try that. The ice cream sandwiches were a hearty serving and enjoyed by everyone at the table, but I thought the banoffee budino was the best. Unique and very tasty. Would have ordered one to have by myself if I wasn't so full lol.

    What a beautiful spot ! I loved the fact that it was inside of an old school building, reminded me…read moreof the days of back when I went to school in a building built in the early 1900's. The seating is both indoors and outside, absolutely astonishing spots. The staff are friendly and chatty and quick with their services ! Absolutely a lovely spot for yummy coffee AND yummy food. Most places have either or- they have BOTH! Will be returning more than I'd like to admit hehe.

The server, Briana, was one of the best I've had in a very long time. Personable, great smile, friendly, and knew her stuff. We ordered the brussel sprouts- they were great with a nice heat from the sauce. We had the crispy skin salmon, which came with a nice fresh salad, The skin was amazingly crispy and the flesh was flavorful. I asked Briana to surprise me with something good and boy did she deliver. It was their porkchop served over some super tasty mashed potatoes. Note that this is not how they are usually served, it was Briana's favorite way to eat this dish so she made the decision for me. The porkchop was very very good. Nice grill marks, onions, and a very nice cream-based sauce. This was so so good. They are doing great food at this new location and I will be back again.
