Love the concept, let down by the menu

I wanted to love this place, as it's fully vegan and a small business but, the menu left me hungry. As a gluten-free vegan (due to a health issue), menus can be tricky. This virtual-only menu (which makes ordering more difficult but, I understand the cost of printed menus has been greatly effected by inflation) doesn't include ingredients and doesn't offer ANY gluten-free meals. I was left choosing between juice, customizing a pricey bowl of lettuce and quinoa or going hungry. I chose the latter while my husband and kids ate.
The sounds coming from their full mouths indicated that they were all well-pleased with the taste and quantity of their meals.

Owner made an appearance to check on us and answer questions. Sauces are all homemade which was a HUGE deal for us and you can grasp his passion and genuine interest in providing great vegan food and excellent service.

This place is a true gem in the area and I look forward to returning if I get cleared to eat gluten again!

Sad to Hear of Closure

This is easily my favorite Vegan restaurant in Delaware. The food was so fantastic every time we had the opportunity to visit town. And the owner (and chef) treated everyone so well. I was surprised to find out the place is closed now, but I hope it's a temporary thing. I will definitely frequent it again if the owner reopens!

Pros: Amazing food., Friendly staff., Great atmosphere.

Cons: Little out of the way (for me).

Worth your time

1st time here. I found street parking (free) easily. Indoor seating available. Nice space. Friendly service. I started with their Philadelphia International crispy cauliflower bites - and yes they are crispy. I had mine with the mango habanero sauce and it was delicious. I also had onion rings. They were good - basic - nothing special - but good all the same. I moved onto their Teddy P which is a plate of fried oyster mushrooms that were crispy and wonderful. I would like to have had a dipping sauce with it. Cornbread was tasty. Mac and cheese was one of the best I’ve had. The asparagus was also very good. They have a small fridge with juice and dessert. When I was there, they had 1 option for dessert (I didn’t get it). I enjoyed my meal and am looking forward to coming back.

Filling and flavorful!

This place is 🔥! Vegan soul food at its finest. Delighted to see the portions were huge and filling. Flavors are top notch. We went here for lunch and were barely hungry for dinner. I don't know how they make their cornbread and fries but both are heavenly. The staff is also super friendly. Will definitely be back next time we are in Wilmington.

Pros: Huge filling portions, Incredibly flavorful, Friendly staff and homey atmosphere

Favorite Vegan Place in Wilmington

I love this place, and whenever I take people here, they love it too. Sean and his family are super friendly and welcoming. The Phillis Wyman is fantastic. Don’t overlook the sides. The cabbage is delicious. The asparagus is consistently a winner. Cornbread too. Be prepared for really big portions.

Pros: Delicious food. , Wonderful owner , Fun spot

Cons: Fairly priced so costs more than flesh-based food, Sometimes don’t have the Phillis Wyman

Diverse menu and super fresh ingredients.

Loved the diversity in their menu, I didn’t went for a full meal so just ordered spring rolls and the fried cauliflower that was perfectly crispy. Went with a non-vegan who was impressed by it, definitely a 5 stars!

Pros: Many vegan options, Fresh ingredients , Great flavor

Cons: Expensive

GO VEGAN!!

My husband and I are so delighted we found Go Vegan Philly. From the warm greeting we received at the door to our farewell hugs, our dining experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The owner and chef, Sean, along with his staff, April and Keisha were lovely and made us feel like family. The food was delicious. Having been a vegetarian for-almost-ever, I’d never had a cheesesteak. Chef Sean’s Jilly from Philly version was a perfect blend of oyster mushrooms and Impossible ground beef with veggies on a soft roll with just enough crisp edges. So stinking good!! And the Eve crispy oyster mushroom sandwich was just as delicious. The homemade lemonade, fries and onion rings were wonderful accompaniments. I can’t recommend Go Vegan Philly enough. GO SEAN!! GO VEGAN!!

Really yummy

The dish I got was a little oily but it was really good! They had so many options. There are not many good souls food options that are vegan and they definitely found a great way to provide the variety and the taste! Sides are really good too!

Pricy but worth it

I had the Philly from Jilly (1/2 mushroom and 1/2 impossible) and the Go Vegan Mac. The Philly had a nice kick with lots of fillings and the mac and cheese was probably the best I've ever had - both 10/10.

MOST EXCELLENT VEGAN FOOD IN TRI-STATE AREA

Go Vegan Philly has the best vegan food anywhere in the DE, PA, NJ, area... hands down it is the absolute most delicious meal you'll ever enjoy. Great atmosphere: warm and welcoming, excellent food, every bite was mouthwatering. I'm a life long vegan, and very particular about what I eat: Go Vegan Philly will now be my go-to for a yummy meal. Give it a try, you WILL NOT be sorry!

Pros: Inviting, friendly neighborhood atmosphere, Owner Shaun Thomas on site & checks on customers., So many choices to select from.

Amazing Food

I had their Jilly From Philly which was a Jerk Cheezesteak and I replaced the Fries with Greens. I honestly feel that was one of the best Cheesesteaks I've ever had, Beef or otherwise. The greens were just as delicious. And to top it all off the Owner/Chef came out to the dining room several times to check on the diners and their meals. He took time to talk to my about my new journey into this lifestyle and even gave me a few pointers to help me stay on track. Fantastic place that I will return to many times in the future. A

Pros: Flavorful and Creative Food, Great Atmosphere, Friendly Personable Staff

Cons: Tad expensive but I'd give my 1st born for more

Awesome find!!

Stopped by Go Vegan Philly as I’m in town for an appointment and I’m so glad I did! I had the kale salad and mozzarella sticks. Both were delicious! The atmosphere is really welcoming, the owner came out to greet me and check in about the food. I love the art and themes of Black excellence throughout! Go Vegan Philly for the win!

Best vegan sandwiches I’ve had!

I ordered the broad street bully (the cheesesteak) and the Eve (crispy chicken sandwich). They were both amazing! I was craving a Philly cheese steak as a vegan, and they killed it! Best one I’ve had so far! The Eve was also very yummy. I loved the sauce they used for both. Made just right!
They were very nice and welcoming. Seemed like genuine good people! My pictures don’t do it justice 😂

Very good

10/2019: Ordered the coconut chick peas with rice and cabbage, which was delicious. Service was friendly.

12/2021: Sad that they moved out of Conshohocken. Was finally able to stop at their new location. Sad that they no longer have the same menu items so picked some new items to try. The "fish" cakes and greens were delicious but didn't love the mini "crab cakes", just a little too greasy for me. But would recommend a visit.

My nonvegan husband was a big fan

This place wowed a man who was craving a “real” cheese steak. He still talks about how good it was

Total package! 🤤

Without a doubt, the best vegan crab cake of all time. ALL TIME. The collards? Sublime. And that crispy crust on the fried mushrooms - YES!

But the service and intense neighborhood vibe is what puts this over the top. The chef is a master but also a real character. He interacted with us like we were BFFs. All sorts of folks were coming in not only for food but also to chat with the staff. I love it here and I know we’ll go back time and again. Big ups Go Vegan.

WONDERFUL stop on our drive south!

My friend and I were passing through on our way to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I was excited to see that Go Vegan Philly was an easy stop off of the highway.

We were greeted with a smile when we came in. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. My friend and I both ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with Mushrooms, and it was DELICIOUS. I had to slow myself down from eating it too fast. We also ordered Onion Rings as an appetizer, and we loved them. The sauce that they came with was particularly delicious.

The chef and owner (Charmayne) and the other owner (Shawn) each individually stopped by to say hello and ask us how our meal was. They were so friendly and nice. I wish I lived closer so I could stop by more often!!

The prices were a bit high, but I think that they were fair given how delicious the food was. I will absolutely be stopping by anytime my travels take me through Wilmington!! :)

Pros: DELICIOUS food, Friendly, welcoming staff and owners, Interesting space with lots to look at

Almost great

They have VERY generous portions... I would argue too generous. Everything we've had here has been delicious, and the service is pretty quick. My one qualm is that their food tastes like an unhealthy guilty pleasure, and the gigantic portions don't help. I feel like I need to go on a 10 mile run after I eat at this restaurant.
The "for the environment" part of me is also not a fan of their plastic/single-use cups and utensils.

Pros: Tasty

Cons: Music can be too loud depending on seating

Excellent food but a tad expensive

I absolutely love the food here. Great choices and creative names. The Teddy P is easily my favorite entree and the Philadelphia International my favorite appetizer (when they have it).

Pros: Everything I’ve tried has been delish!

Cons: A tad expensive for the portions, Frequently out of stuff

Delicious and generous

We ordered takeout during covid. The Teddy P oyster mushroom fried chicken had the flavor of authentic fried chicken, the mac&cheese was classic comfort food and the collard greens had a deliciously pickled kick. Heated it up at home and this wonder Soul food made me smile.
Don't be put off from the high prices as the portions are generous. We're still talking about it the next day. Love it, love it, love it!!!

Pros: awesome food, generous and well prepared dishes, Easy pre-pay pick up.

Cons: a little pricey

Delicious!

We were really happy to see another vegan restaurant take over the old V-Trap location. I had the Broad Street Bully (V-Cheezesteak) with oyster mushrooms and it was great. Wife had the impossible burger and was hummin. The fries were even still hot by the time I got home. Will definitely be back.
