    Philly Philly Vegan Sampler and philly cheesesteak 7/10
    Clara B.

    Food was pretty good other than everything we got tasted the same. I don't know why but everything had heavy oregano flavor. Like someone tripped with the lid off the oregano bottle. Hubby's wasn't like that, but mine was definitely overpowered by that. The sampler was good but again, everything tasted the same. The eggroll was crispy and cheesy. Definitely my favorite thing that day. The cheesesteak was good, the cheeseburger was a smidge dry, but had good flavor. Definitely needed mayo and ketchup to dunk it in. It didn't blow me away. No desserts that day other than the milkshakes. Parking is street parking. Best of luck to you.

    Strawberry vegan shake

    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.)

    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)

    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

    Great Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches! Different than we have had anywhere... but our hosts said …read more. this is what you're getting... So there is that! First...bread soft but "sturdy" enough to handle the other half being wrapped up and eaten the next day! It's a lot of food! What made it "different" is that it was easy to eat since all chopped up (all like size pieces) in a cheesy goodness. Wedge salad and Side salad option-MUCH better than expected for a "hole in the wall" kinda place but big serving with fresh ingredients (radishes, sliced and chunks, with pea pods and a lemony vinaigrette was super tasty.

The servers were also tending the bar which was getting decent traffic even at lunchtime. My dining partner says there is a pool table in a back room, and that could be fun to fold into a longer visit. The piped in music was light jazz. The menu is oriented around philly cheesesteaks and variations. I ordered the chicken philly, which was large enough to make two lunches (I brought half home.) The flavor was decent, with seasoned or marinated chicken chunks and veggies & cheese on a sturdy roll. It came with a decent serving of chips. We were served a juice glass of room temp water on arrival and no drink order was taken. Negatives were related to pacing. It took a lot of time for the food to come out. We were pushed to eat even half of our sandwiches within the hour my dining partner had for lunch. The server did not check back after dropping the plates, which could have been an issue if we needed more water. And getting the check was a challenge that took way too long considering how small the place is. This is a decent place to grab a sandwich or a drink if you have the time or live in the neighborhood.

You can make your burger the way you want it-- no weird sauces or frills (unless you want), just a delicious tasting burger with a varied menu . my burger: well done, pepper jack cheese, grilled jalapeños, mayo and lettuce. Fresh off the grill flavor with a bun that is warm and lightly toasted (cold buns wreck a burger) and tastes good. Fries are browned with skin on--yum -- a perfect crisp, and salted just right. For me, better than Five Guys. A surprising treat as I generally don't expect much when it comes to fries-- hit or miss. These were great! Onion rings are crisp and not anemic- looking or at all soggy. I have eaten at Beavine (over salted yuk), Burger Bach --expensive and w/sauces that don't belong on a burger.

This time, I ordered online as instructed and arrived at the pickup time, only to be ignored for about 10 minutes despite standing right in front of him. When he finally acknowledged me, he couldn't find part of the order, then angrily threw the food on the counter and demanded payment--even though I had already paid online. He refused to accept an email receipt and said he doesn't give receipts at all. So I paid twice. On top of that, the online prices were nearly double the in-store prices, with no clear explanation when I inquired. Great food does not excuse terrible customer service. The experience is stressful, unpleasant, and unprofessional.

Earlier in the month, I was finally able to check them out for the first time. I had my eye on their Italian hoagie, which is listed under the Cold section, but I know better at this point in time of living in the South and the many Italian hoagies that I have had to refrigerate. So I ordered it without the tomato or peppers and served cold. I ordered it through the bartender, who told me that they do serve them cold and that they were out of peppers that day. Turns out they were not out of peppers and they did not serve it cold. I can't eat peppers due to food sensitivities, so I sent it back and asked for it to be re-made. This was the bartender's mistake, from the receipt I could see that he didn't send those notes to Fat Kid, to be clear. The second rendition was made correctly, and it was definitely tasty, but they are overpriced. It's pretty obvious from my picture that this wasn't some hefty, super stuffed and loaded with meats/cheese hoagie. It looks like a normal 6" hoagie. Not worth $11 for it, in my opinion. I'd rather spend $16 at Stanley's or $10 for a full-size at Mr. Submarine.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with a chopped cheese sandwich, let me break it down for you. A chopped cheese sandwich is when a burger is cooked steak and cheese style and put on a hoagie roll. This sounds like it should be a simple concept but so many sandwiches fall short of hitting the mark. THIS ONE DOES NOT! The meat on this sandwich is cooked wonderfully. The seasoning is perfect. The temperature is excellent. It's juicy and not any way overcooked. It smells amazing as soon as you open the bag. The fries are also a sticking point for me. They are golden brown and have just the right amount of salt and crunch to them without being dried out. My lunch is always really in minutes and I enjoy talking to the owner while I wait. He always greets me with a smile and makes my business feel appreciated. There are several other menu options but I am so smitten with this one that I have not ventured to try anything else.
