Christmas Eve Fondue - Edit
We ordered 2 of the Cheeze fondue kits for 4 hungry people (1 not vegan). They were easy to make and completely delicious.

Does America proud - Edit
As an American, I take cheesesteaks seriously...and so did Jake. The cheese was SO MELTY. I was very impressed. I got the extra spicy version which also didn't disappoint. A great new restaurant!

Amazing cheesesteak! - Edit
I'm from the Philly area and I can tell you that this place is legit. The flavors are great, the people are cool and it's all reasonably priced. So glad I came here first on my London trip and I already can't wait to go back!!

Tastes just like the original meat version! - Edit
I had Jake’s Vegan Steaks at Vegan Nights and all I can say is WOW! It tastes exactly like I remember meat versions of Philly cheesesteaks to taste but better. Would highly recommend popping in for a sandwich

If you like fast fake food this place rules - Edit
This lot do burgers and nuggets and chips and they do them well. But the burger bun is the worst kind of white bread and seriously lets down the experience. The truffle cheese chips were gorgeous. The cake (they only do one!) was also seriously good. I would advise against eating here very often, maybe just occasionally for an unhealthy treat!

One of the best in the game - Edit
Authentic Philly Cheezesteak flavours on a soft roll. Nice location, great staff and banging food. Has to be one of the top places in London.

Slightly disappointing - Edit
I had their signature Philly cheeze steak (although it's more shreds than steak) in a bun and rosemary fries. The fries were amazing (I adore rosemary) but the main dish was a bit of a letdown. The bread tasted cheap and not fresh and I wasn't really a fan of the cheese sauce which was poured all over because it felt very heavy and overpowered the rest of the ingredients. The dipping sauces available were amazing as well.

Really good when you have that umami need - Edit
I've had this at the market stall a few times and it's always good, nice bbq feel and drowning in cheeze sauce! Only drawback is the price.

Pretty good - Edit
I had the Funghi ‘N Truffle Sandwich with Thyme Fries here tonight, and it was pretty good although not exceptional - the filling was a bit bland and the bread was very poor quality. Definitely points gained for being an all-vegan place though and for having the option to order and eat in the pub next door (The Horatia). Even though I wasn’t very impressed by the mains, I do have to say that the salted caramel and chocolate cheesecake was fantastic.

Sadly, very sadly, disappointed - Edit
We drive past Jake's Vegan Steaks every day and usually don't have time to stop because of the traffic. A couple of weeks ago we pulled into get some petrol and it is right next door to the garage. The staff were friendly, if a little bit more focused on the stream of Deliveroo orders than people in the shop. We ordered the Philly Cheese Steak and Funghi ‘n Truffle, and headed off. Both were good that, that wasn't the problem. What I was surprised by was that both were overwhemed by the sauce and the ingredients are indistinguable from each other. Is this cabbage? A mushroom? Seitan? It all tasted the same and had the same texture, and the bread wasn't great -- more Subway than Philly. I was expecting seitan that had the taste and texture of steak... I was even expecting the option to have a steak and chips... it's in the name. I think I was expecting too much.

Hits the spot - Edit
Tried this place on a whim today. I had the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich which came with an amazing seitan “beef” and a good, gooey vegan cheese. The thyme fries were also quite good and it came with a lovely vegan mayo. The order of fries comes with your choice of drinks which was nice.

Pros: Delicious, Good vegan cheese, Deal with fries and a drink

All vegan, all tasty - Edit
Came across Jakes Vegan Steaks at Hackney vegan market and opted for the loaded fries combo box. Less messy and the coleslaw was so good too and went well with the loaded fries. Box and fork made of environmentally friendly material 👍

Timeout Ldn’s No. 3 Street Food Trader! - Edit
Jake’s signature Philly Cheezesteak Sandwich is mind blowing! Juicy seitan steak strips mixed with soft brown onion and peppers, swimming in sauce, packed into the softest toasted brioche buns you’ll ever eat, drizzled with the cheeziest cheeze whizz. Enough said. And if you don’t want to get your hands dirty, the Cheezesteak Fries is all of the above, minus the brioche, atop a bed of double fried, thyme-seasoned fried. JVS gives me life.

Pizza Fries - Edit
The pizza fries from here are really good. The fries are crispy and well seasoned, the seitan is really tender and well flavoured and the cheese sauce is also really good. Definitely recommend if you see them at a market

Nice fries, okay seitan - Edit
I spotted them at Vegan Nights and found the concept of vegan meaty chips enticing.
Read moreThey messed up my order at first and forgot the "meat" (which I blame on how busy their stall was), but when I came back to tell them they were happy to add it onto my fries.
The actual Philly Fries tasted alright, but weren't extraordinary. If I were to go a second time, I would probably order something else.
