THE vegan burger restaurant in Helsinki

The burgers are good, some better than others, but overall the food is really great. The restaurant is cozy, a nice place to sit and have a few drinks. The playlist is great, and there is occasionally live DJs.

Indulgence

It's a fast food place. You shouldn't expect to find healthy options here. If you're up for it, there's plenty of choice.

The menu is not entirely on the same state as the website, making it impossible to order by the QR code on the table. Hope they fix that.

The venue is somewhat hidden at the top of the wide staircase.

Cozy place with tasty junk food

The atmosphere was laid back and nice. Food was delicious. The menu is (perhaps unsurprisingly) heavy on meat substitutes and the like, and could benefit from more natural options like beans etc.

Not too junky

The brunch options are actually rather moderate. I got the scramble plate and enjoyed it. The tempeh bacon was a surprising standout. I was surprised that the toast was dry, seems like a weird omission not to have vegan butter.

Pros: Well seasoned scramble, Juicy, tasty tempeh bacon, Solid mimosa

Cons: Dry toast, Potatoes not crispy

Funky place with tasty food

We had burgers, nuggets, "chicken" skewers and fries. The burgers especially were really tasty.
There is free water, and some sauces (ketchup, mustard, hot sauce).
Really good music and a cool interior.
Just one star reduction because the waitress was a bit impolite and not welcoming at all.

Pros: Tasty burgers, Cool interior , Great music

Cons: Waitress not very welcoming

Great food

Had a really tasty supper here of oyster mushroom & kimchi burger, and gyoza.
Service was a bit slow, as we ordered via the QR code rather than at the bar.
Otherwise, all good.

Good

Ordered a ton of food to split: junky burger, smash the junk burger, chipz with cheese sauce, flower wings, chicks on sticks, nachos a more dirty style, pesto punch gnocchi, romaine empire, and a snickers smoothie. Food was good and decently priced.

Loved it

Went there just before I needed to take a train to lapland and filled my belly with a delicious burger and some fries. A toastie to go- I asked without jalapeños, that didn't work, but it's ok. I would always come back and they deserve 5 stars 😊
Definitely recommended!

OK for a quick lunch

Called in here for a quick lunch when visiting the nearby Amos Rex art gallery. It's a fully vegan place offering street food such as burgers, tacos, grilled sandwiches & dirty fries. The menu isn't what you'd call innovative, but it's OK in a junky kind of way (I guess the clue is in the name). We shared some dirty fries and a kimichi & cheese grilled sandwich. Both were OK without being great. Worth a visit if you're hungry & hereabouts but don't go out of your way.

Pros: 100% vegan, Central location

Cons: No healthy options, Uninspiring menu

Just a simple vegan place

Service was a little bit slow, flavor was normal, not especially amazing and kombucha was incredibly expensive, 7€ and the price wasn't visible 😵‍💫

Pros: A vegan place in the main centre

Cons: Expensive kombucha, Very simple taste, Slow service

Geiles Junkfood

Das Essen ist sehr lecker. Ich kann vor allem die Tacos mit Austernpilzen empfehlen. Die Location ist sehr hip und gemütlich, direkt am Hauptbahnhof.

Decent vegan ‘junk’ food

I ordered the tofu and vegetable gyoza and the Seitan worshipper burger. The service was a little slow but it was a busy time so that’s okay.

The gyoza were deep fried not steamed/pan fried which I personally wasn’t a big fan of. The filling I thought was pretty bland.

The seitan burger I enjoyed a little more, the seitan itself and marinade was quite nice. But the rest of the burger ingredients were only okay. There was a bit too much of the garlic Mayo for my liking and overpowered the burger. But I suppose that’s to be expected if the restaurant is ‘Junky vegan’

Pros: Marinated seitan

Cons: Deep fried gyoza were quite bland

Heavy & tasty

The food is very tasty and "junky", the atmosphere is nice and inclusive, they even do drag brunches every now and then!

Burgers and Other Tasty"Junk" Food

Updated 10/10/24

Cook has changed and with that, menu also. Portions are smaller on certain orders but still expensive. Taste is okay. I have tested multiple dishes and food is still okay but not anymore 5 star.

I have to mention that pretty much everything else is still the same which is nice. Atmosphere is good, music isn't too loude and people seems to enjoy their time.

Great vibes with food

We ordered our foods in English with having to wait a bit as they seemed to be bit understaffed, but the nice decor kept us happy and the food arrived quickly ! I took gyozas with tofu and vegetable filling and sesame sauce, and no chix nuggets, so light lunch ! Thank youu

Pros: Many choices, Nice staff, Good decor

Cons: Bit of waiting

Solid option in Helsinki

Junk Y Vegan is broadly oriented around 'comfort food' in an American-style diner. It was pretty good - I had a greek Feta salad, some sweet potato fries, and a grapefruit soda. The food was a bit saltier than I would have preferred, but I appreciate this is in keeping with the style. I was only in Helsinki for a few hours, but this seemed like a popular spot and is good if you want a quick and substantial meal, with lots of options.

Pros: Substantial portions, Very wide choice

Vegan junk food

Junk y Vegan is a classic vegan junk food restaurant. Nice that this exists in central Helsinki. We bought nuggets/fries and a toastie. Portions were a little small and fairly expensive (though it is Helsinki). Ordering was via an app, though there is also a bar.

Excellent for vegan junk food. The seitan burger seemed to have more mayo than seitan, but it was better after we scrapped some off. The have it all appetizer was great!
