cheesesteaks!

Great place. Quick, delicious version of Philly's main culinary contribution - the cheesesteak. Nice local beer. Would definitely go back.

Don't overlook the salad!

I've been here several times and agree with the rest of reviewers: the cheesesteak is phenomenal. I'd say for your first time--you definitely need to try it. But if you are local and can get there again, don't hesitate to order salad.

They had 2 salads in the past, now it looks like only the Yucatan is on the board. It is fantastic and filling. The flavors are fresh and the crunchy topping is delicious (they must do something other than just crumble tortillas--I do that at home and it doesn't taste near as good).

So yes, try the cheesesteak but don't be afraid of the salad!

Pros: Delicious!

Cons: small, can be hard to find a seat

Best Vegan Cheesesteak

I love this place. The cheesesteaks are amazing and since I live in the suburbs I make sure to stop in here every time I’m in Philly and stock up on these. I’m serious: I buy like 3-5 and stick them in the freezer. They are that yummy. It’s so sad when I run out! Any vegan visiting Philly needs to make a stop in here! They sell other sandwiches, snacks, and beer!
The seating area is a bit small but you can eat in, too.

Pros: Best vegan cheesesteak ever, Perfect seasoning, Perfect “cheese”

Amazing!!

I've gone here twice now, and I loved it each time. I am a huge fan of the way the "cheese" tastes, and the the fries are the bomb!! Will forever go back when in philly looking for a vegan cheese steak.

Pros: delicious, good location

Cons: A little pricey

Cheese Steaks on Point

I recently visited Wiz Kid for the first time with a friend who has been there before. I ordered the WK Philly sandwich and an order of fries. The menu is limited to only a few items, but it seems that Wiz Kid has perfected the steak sandwich. This vegan choice was hands down in the top three Philly cheese steaks I've ever eaten. It was a great price for the amount and quality of food. The atmosphere was very "Philly-esque", which was perfect for a steak sandwich joint.

Pros: Price, Quality, Atmosphere

Really good!

Really fun to try a Philly Cheesesteak while in Philly! Tasted a bit to ‘real’ for my liking (but did make me think it could certainly fool an Omni friend!). Definitely worth a try especially if you have Omni friends in tow who you want to show what can be done with vegan food!

My boyfriend and I stopped here for dinner. The place is small but the food is good. My only complaint is it was very salty for my liking.

Gotta do the WK Philly

When a vegan visits Philadelphia, one must try a vegan version of the city's namesake sandwich, right? This one is very good, I can head back home feeling that I have done the city justice. The Rattlesnake Fries are very spicy, you've been warned!

i initially was turned off by the mushroom cheesesteak favorite here, since i’ve never been a big cheesesteak fan even before i was vegan.. but.. i was delightfully surprised!! very good!! however, that’s the only menu item i’ve tried😄but it makes me think the rest will be great as well

Pros: delicious! , all vegan

Cons: limited menu

Loved it!

We were only in town for about a week, and our norm is to not frequent the same establishments more than once, when there are multiple vegan/vegan friendly spots in a city. We made an exception for Wiz Kid. This place has the best Philly Cheesesteaks in the city! No kidding. The "meat" is well marinated, packed in, and delicious. The cheese is unique in flavor, and works well on the sandwich or the "wiz fries." We tried the pizza Philly cheesesteak, which I believe was a "special" and not typically on the menu (good, but not our favorite -- the pizza sauce was a little thick); the regular Philly cheesesteak; the Rueben Philly cheesesteak; the Wiz fries (regular fries with the restaurant made cheese); and the Korean Fries (regular fries with several toppings including seaweed, and cheese). The Rueben Philly and the Wiz fries were by far our favorite items on the menu. Worth trying every time we are in town. Do not sleep on this place! Go if you are in town!

Pros: Delicious!

Not my favourite

I tried the Philly cheese steak & it was wayyy to greasy for me unfortunately, although incredibly tasty. The chips were amazing though

Literally the Best

The cheesesteak here is one of the best things I've ever consumed. The textures and the flavors are on point. I can't speak to its comparison to your typical Philly cheesesteak, as I have never had one, but I have brought meat-eaters here who have said that this is even better flavor-wise, although slightly different than the local fave. It's a good bang for your buck here with good portions of incredible food at affordable prices. I also recommend the Harissa fries for a new and interesting flavor. The staff here also are very friendly.

Pros: Incredible food, Good value, Casual vibe, friendly staff

Great flavor, v expensive

Went there to work on a project alone and loved it ! The food was amazing, but pretty expensive. For a sandwich and a small drink (non-alcoholic) and small pastry w/ 20% tip was like $30.

Pros: A great amount of vegan options, Serves beer too , Has some desserts

Cons: Expensive, Not a lot of seating area , Parking is difficult

KFT hit the spot

I had the Korean Fried Tempeh (KFT), which really hit the spot. It had kimchi, sriracha thousand island, and tomato. These fresh elements made the sandwich simultaneously comfort food-y and refreshing. My friend also ordered the okonomiyaki fries, which I got to munch on. I liked the fries, especially the nori topping, but they weren’t as exciting as I expected. (Likewise for the wiz fries, which I tried a couple days later).
The staff here are nice. They also have beer, so it was cool to hang out with my friend over some beers and good vegan comfort food.

Pros: Beer, KFT

Finally i had the opportunity to check out wiz kid. And i was not disappointed. The Sabichsteak was a bun filled with nothing less than awesomeness. I savored every single bite (and yes, i scraped out the dish it came in).

Just Go Already!

I'm visiting Philly and was stoked to find a cheesesteak that I can actually eat. It was literally one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life. Bread was nice and chewy, mushrooms had a little bit of char around the edges, it was perfect. I'm now debating going back tomorrow before I head home. Do yourself a favor and do not miss Wiz Kid.

Pros: 100% vegan , Inexpensive , Delicious
