Love greasy vegan fast food - Edit
I LOVE unhealthy vegan food. It’s my favorite. Classic greasy fast food place with burgers, nuggets, milkshakes, you name it, all vegan. Perfect if you’re stoned or drunk or getting over a breakup. I love it. I love when vegan places aren’t all healthy all the time. Just because I care about animals doesn’t mean I care about my own health.

Good food - Edit
Get a great sandwich and shake at this all vegan restaurant. Order on the kiosk or at the counter and in ten minutes you are enjoying great food. We had a Philly Cheezsteak and a Thanksgiving “Stuffer” which had chicken tenders, stuffing and cranberry sauce. The vanilla shake was excellent too.
Read moreNot much ambiance. Crowded, small place with only four two/top tables.
Pros: Great food, All vegan, Similar to the ones in Philly
Cons: Too small and crowded

oh my god - Edit
hipcityveg is my favorite place. The world is cruel and dark, but I always know that hipcity is there for me with a chicken sandwich or the smokehouse. I was in town for four days and was at hipcity for three of them. Don’t skip.

Overrated - Edit
I may have made a mistake choosing the noodle salad. In any case it was like five strands of noodles and the rest was green salad. Totally over priced. The dressing was good though.
Read moreThe person behind the counter was rude, irritated and wouldn’t help me although no one else was behind me.. I know I’m not American but I do know how to say “water” but she pretended not to understand, even when I spelled it out for her. She probably didn’t like that I changed my mind from a soft drink to water. Her attitude made me leave without ordering the shake I had planned for dessert.
Pros: Salad dressing was nice
Cons: Rude personnel , Very small eating area , Stressful

Nice burger and salad - Edit
I had the Basic B vegan burger and it was delicious. The Smoky Sweet Snack wrap has a refreshing flavor. The Grilled Chick’n Salad is pretty good for a burger place. The tangerine turmeric drink is excellent.

Yum! - Edit
I enjoyed this place a little too much. We were craving breakfast sandwiches and this really hit the spot.
Read moreThe milkshakes are super addictive. I normally love both vanilla and chocolate, and tried both here, but the chocolate is way better.

Simply fab - Edit
I wanted to try everything in one visit but that’s just not happening. I got the crispy chicken sandwich, onion rings and a chocolate banana protein shake. Oh and a cookie for later 😁 Being able to order onion rings at a restaurant made me do the happy food dance!

Great chick’n sandwich - Edit
The spicy chick’n sandwich was everything I needed. Their fries remind me of McDonald’s fries and their HipCity sauce reminds me of Chick-fila sauce.

Delicious "chicken"! - Edit
I got the smoky sweet crispy chick'n wrap. It's was delicious! The "chicken" was very crispy, and the sauce with the medly of carrots and cabbage made for a fantastic flavor combination. The only problem was it was too big for me to finish! Next time, I would get the same item but as a "snack wrap."

Yummy vegan fast food - Edit
Perfect place for some simple vegan food! We had the Philly cheesesteak and the grilled chik’n salad with sweet potato fries. Everything was fresh and delicious. The portions were pretty good too. I loved the chik’n in the salad!

Tasty - Edit
Really fun menu, I wanted to try everything. Food was definitely tasty but not the best vegan comfort food out there nowadays. Chicken sandwich was good but could be crispier. Philly cheesesteak was inconsistent but the cheesy bites were really good. Sweet potato fries were amazing. I’d go back.
Read morePros: Sweet potato fries , Kale lemonade
Cons: Very small dining area

Vegan fast food! - Edit
SO GOOD. Literally the vegan equivalent of fast food but better. The prices aren’t even that bad compared to other vegan options in DC. The crispy hipcity ranch chick’n sandwich and the ziggy burger were amazing. The cauliflower nuggets were super good and the portion was big. Highly recommend!

Very Overpriced - Edit
This place is extremely overpriced for what it is. I paid almost $20 for a meal that was the size of a kids meal. I had huge chunks of red onion in the sandwich, which, even as a red onion lover was way too much. There wasn't enough ranch. The fries were indisputably just regular frozen french fries with no seasoning and were completely soggy. Overall disappointed with both the quality, quantity, and price of the food.

My default every time I go to DC! - Edit
What a nice little vegan fast food spot right in DC! Not too crowded, great service, amazing food, and plenty of options. Seating is very limited, but I noticed there were a lot of delivery runners coming in and out of the place. So this place is popular. I had the spicy chik'n sandwich with sweet potato fries and a drink. The drinks are worth getting, the kale lemonade and turmeric tangerine were my favorite!

Crazy Yummy! - Edit
I honestly didn't expect that much from HipCityVeg, since I've never had a great experience with vegan fast food. But, wow, I was soooo wrong. Everything we got was so tasty. I loved my crispy chicken sandwich! Our non-vegan friend even went with us and thoroughly enjoyed her meal! She was impressed by the chicken nuggets. I was also pleasantly surprised that the food was organic!
Read morePros: Delicious food, Organic
Cons: Limited seating (though we didn't have an issue)

Not as good as Philly - Edit
Admittedly it’s been a minute since I’ve been to the Philly location so maybe that has changed too. But the chicken sandwich seemed a lot smaller than I remembered and not as tasty. The fries were soggy (I should have gotten sweet potato fries as they were always stellar in Philly but went with the white since I have not seen them on the menu before) the didn’t have the salad I usually get in Philly on the menu either. I wouldn’t go here again if in the DC area.

Always good - Edit
So, I had the Ziggy burger and my partner had the Disco Chicken. We also had the brownie and chocolate chip cookie along with two lemonades. I have eaten at the HCV in Philly quite a few times. I am happy to say the quality of the food is good and consistent with what I have had in Philly. All of the food/drink was delicious.

Cons: expensive, small seating area
