    Evil Twin
    Jonah W.

    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.

    I loved the food and the vibe of this spot. The Thanksgiving sandwich was amazing! The ladies were nice and I loved that they blasted Chappell Roan the entire time. They offered turkey rolls for thanksgiving in their deli case as well. I can't wait to come back and try more sandwiches!

    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.

    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!

    Great vegan deli. The Triple Threat (Italian sandwich) ruled. Perfect flavor balance. Fresh. 10/10. I bought a bunch of slices to go to make this sandwich at home. The macaroni salad was great. And the people working there were friendly and helpful. Can't recommend it enough. I wish this place was in my town.

    The sandwiches are very impressive. So flavorful and creative. Staff is very friendly. If you are vegan you must add this place to your regular takeout spots. If you are not vegan you will also enjoy.

    AMAZING! Tried Seitan's Helper for the first time today and was so impressed. Our local vegan restaurant closed and we decided to give them a shot, despite being one borough over. The sandwiches were super good, tasty and a good size. Very much recommended! We got the Chickie Ceasar Wrap and the Triple Threat.

    Beautiful atmosphere and delicious food, good company and a nice relaxing tea to end the night. :)read more

    Shucks I wanted to give this place five stars but it didn't start so well. The first barista who…read moretook my order was really great. I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked. Just seem like the ones who didn't really give attention to customers or were kind of rude seemed like they didn't wanna be there.
