I was eager to try Seitan's Helper from the first time I heard about it, so when I was in Bushwick for the day I knew I had to stop by. It's a small shop with no seating (or AC - beware, it gets HOT in there) so plan on taking your sandwich to go. The large menu is a welcome sight to any vegetarians or vegans used to having only one or two options at restaurants. Each sandwich is unique and they are different enough from each other that I'd like to come back and try something new. Service was extremely friendly and we were offered as many samples of any kind of plant-based meat as we wanted. I ordered the Evil Twin and was pretty happy with my choice. The plant-based roast beef was tasty and more satisfying than most meat alternatives. My biggest complaint would be the amount of red cabbage on the sandwich. It was a good topping, but the sheer volume sort of dwarfed some of the other flavors. However, the quality of the sandwich, helpful service, and variety of menu options are certainly enough to bring me back eventually. read more

I went for my go to sandwich the triple threat which is a combo of seitan mortadella, salami, and pepperoni all of which is made in house and is available for purchase. I also purchased their garlic potato rosemary soup which I honestly will probably comeback again tomorrow for since it was just that good. I hadn't been back in a while and I'm glad to see that they offer indoor seating now. The team is always friendly and hospitable. For the holidays, they make charcuterie and have seitan roasts. A little out of the way for me, but a must visit when I'm nearby. read more

Seitan's Helper has an awesome thing going on. It's a vegan deli, with all its meats made from seitan, in-house, from scratch with cheeky names for its sandwiches like Evil Twin and The Omen. And they are delish! Had the BEC from their standard menu which comes with their chickpea nomelette with maple bacon and red pepper jam on a potato onion roll. Also tried The Creature from their specialty menu made with grilled chik'n and red peppers, cashew mozzarella, olive tapenade, and chimi churri sauce on focaccia. These sandos do not skimp on flavor. Like the place, they burst with personality. Can't recommend Seitan's Helper enough. It made my day. read more

Amazing sandwiches and the best vegan thanksgiving meal. Service is great. I've ordered both online and in-person. Ambiance is a cute mellow vegan deli. Nowhere to really sit and dine in; this is more of a takeaway spot--like most delis. My favorite sandwich is the Triple Threat. Can't get over how good the Thxgiving meal is. Yum! read more

Stumbled upon this place and just happened upon the BEST sandwich of my life. The person who made the food was so sweet and friendly. They make all their vegan meats in house, and after years of searching I have finally had the pleasure to taste vegan salami and it was glorious. I cannot recommend this place enough-- it's an hour and a half from where I live but it's going to become a regular destination for me nonetheless. A friend and I split the buffalo sandwich (cannot remember the specific name), and the triple threat. The buffalo was AMAZING but the triple threat I swear to god is the perfect sandwich. I can die happy. read more

*Delayed review from Thanksgiving 2021* Love, love, love, this place!! They make amazing, savory vegan sandwiches. I called in a pick up order the other day and spoke to a nice gentleman. He recommended the BEC, which I got along with the Thanks Seitan sandwich and Evil Twin. I enjoyed every morsel of BEC sandwich from the deli meat, toppings, down to the bread. Its packed with 'bacon', chickpea nomelette, Violife cheddar, roasted red pepper jam, and spicy mayo on a potato onion roll. *chefs kiss* I shared the Thanks Seitan sandwich (seasonal special) with my sister. It was very different and hearty but just as delicious. It was packed with spicy turkey stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce and cheese in a focaccia hero. Yum, yum, yum! Literally Thanksgiving in a form of a sandwich. My brother, a die-hard carnivore, enjoyed the Evil Twin, claiming it was unique and that he wouldn't mind getting it again. How this place differs from the rest is the flavor, portion size, and price. Its packed with unique ingredients that are flavorful and tasteful that leaves you full. The word bland literally does not exist here. The portions are good and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place if you're in the neighborhood but be prepared to wait (better to call ahead). I also recommend following them on IG to get daily updates on specials. read more

Visited Seitan's Helper for the first time Saturday 1/6 at the recommendation of Brit and Hannah over at Yough for somewhere with delicious Vegan eats - and my goodness was it BUSY! We had a Bacon, Egg and Cheese (BEC) and a Rito wrap which were DELICIOUS! What I also found so heartwarming is that Amanda and Cheyenne (who I guess are the owners?) were having a playfully sweet time making the food AND knew most of their customers BY NAME!! (Before they ordered, I should add). I love that so much!! Definitely recommend to anyone, but especially if you are vegan or vegetarian! Like me, you will be coming back ^__^ read more

There is a large variety of sandwiches, and I am trying to make my way through all of them. I love that all the "meat" is made-in-house and not processed or brought-in. I've also ordered their meats by the pound to make sandwiches at home, and the flavors are just out of this world. Idk how they do it. I even fooled a few meat eating friends with their sandwiches. Also, the entire team is so nice and helpful. We ordered some thanksgiving items from Seitan's helper and were given awesome instructions on how to prep and warm up the items.

That sandwich was amazing. I ordered the "Triple Threat" sandwich and it had stacks of vegan pepperoni, salami, and mortadella. It was dressed up with vegan chedder, peppers, red onions, greens, mayo, and vinaigrette on a hero with perfect conistency. There was an explosion of flavor with each bite. It's unusual for a sandwich to knock my socks off, but here we are. Too hungry to have taken any photos. Can't wait to try the other sammies here and their baked goods once the oven is fixed. I also liked the fact that once I paid with my credit card, I didn't have to interact with a screen interface like Square which makes you feel compelled to tip. There is a tip jar for those who are inclined to do so. The two people working there were lovely and kind. read more

The menu is stacked--sandwiches, hearty apps, macs, and cozy entrees that make you forget you're eating vegan. During my visit, they were running a Reuben sandwich special that seriously tempted me, but I went with the oyster mushroom calamari, and wow, the seasoning was spot on, and it could easily fool a seafood lover. My friend tried the seitan wings and was really impressed, even though he's usually not into mock meats. They came with super flavorful sauces and were definitely shareable. He also had the smash burger, which was a total win--savory, satisfying, and gave big diner vibes. We heard the milkshakes are amazing too, but we were too full to fit them in. Next time, for sure. Only downside? The service was on the slow side--we waited over 30 minutes between apps and mains. It's a popular spot, so some delay is understandable, but it was noticeable.

Takeout review Price: $$ (burgers are $19-22) but its comes with seasoned fries (more on that below) and the burgers are HUGE Store: few seats in the back, otherwise takeout mostlly. they call you a "slut" upon entering and leaving (it's entertaining). Food: - Dancehall Burger- sounded interesting but the maduros were a miss. would have been better with avocado and bacon. the slut sauce made this burger. onions were grilled but not caramelized. overall it was a solid burger. - Hollywood Hooker: massive but kind of bland? the texture was spot on for a philly chopped sandwich. but no slut sauce :( get the burger - eggrolls: philly cheesesteak egg roll. it was popular. Solid choice. i couldnt tell it wasnt beef. i added sweet chilli sauce to it which added some spice. - Fries: one batch was hot, crunch, perfectly cooked and had great seasonings. the other batch was soggy and was likely sitting out. if you get the fries fresh its worth it. Service: - Order on kiosks - Trainwreck. online order and suprised when it was ready within 4 minutes. Within 20 minutes I was in the store. 3 people + 2 food delivery drivers waiting. 2 workers - one was cooking while the other disappeared to get supplies / take out the trash. 10 minutes go by- no one gets food. 15 minutes. 1 delivery driver gets food. more people enter - delivery drivers + customers. Only 1 was greeted and told it would be a wait. 20 minutes. no food. The second workers comes back and helps with orders. finally 3 orders come out for in person orders only. 30 minutes, I ask for an update. 5 mintues later I get my food. total time was around 50 minutes not 4 minutes. I would recommend trying it for a good vegan burger and if you have an hour to wait. if you need a quick order or are rushing to catch a concert, show, or game at Barclays I would avoid. Food; 4 stars Overall 3 stars

Is my combo without a drink?

This place slaps! They are small, but they utilize the space very well. Nice colors, good vibe. I…read moremade reservations, but they weren't really honored in the sense that we were running late, and when we came in, we just so happened to be able to get a table. It's not like one was actually reserved, but hey, it worked out, so I'm happy about that. Onto the food: I am half Haitian, and I may not speak Haitian Kreyol, but I know my Haitian food. I can prove my Haitian ethnicity by cooking traditional dishes. The legume was on point! That dish was my favorite. My friend truly enjoyed her salmon. Honestly, I wish I had gotten the salmon to take home instead of the Haitian fried chicken. Now, that wasn't that great to me, and I didn't enjoy it :( I'm still giving them all the stars and all the props because I really appreciated the service. This was my first time trying a Haitian patty with spinach, and it was absolutely fantastic. I think it's even better than the chickpea one. I would definitely highly recommend this place and also go back. But the Haitian fried chicken need to be better. Still, I'll definitely come again and try the salmon next time!!!

Offering delicious and flavorful Haitian comfort food tucked away in the heart of Brooklyn, Lakou…read moregave me my first delicious taste of Haitian cuisine. I ordered the vegan platter whose black beans were smooth and piping hot, alongside the crispy fried tostones and meaty vegan meatballs. In fact the meatballs were so meat-like that neither my sister nor my husband could belief that they were made of jackfruit. The white rice was also extremely fluffy and moist and judging by the diligent rice-washing that was taking place behind the counter as we ate, I could tell that the staff really works hard to make it not just an afterthought, but a quality addition to the meal. My sister also really enjoyed her shrimp plate while my husband devoured his half-chicken platter. The sauces on our platters were also extremely flavorful, complementing the proteins in a beautiful way. All of us left Lakou Cafe feeling happy and satisfied with the portion sizes and level of quality. 10/10 I will definitely be heading back to this place the next time I'm in Brooklyn!
