You can create a custom function:

    <Function Name="String_Like" ReturnType="Edm.Boolean">
      <Parameter Name="searchingIn" Type="Edm.String" />
      <Parameter Name="lookingFor" Type="Edm.String" />
      <DefiningExpression>
        searchingIn LIKE lookingFor
      </DefiningExpression>
    </Function>

And call it using

[System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EdmFunction( "Your.Namespace", "String_Like")]
public static Boolean Like(this String searchingIn, String lookingFor) {
    throw new Exception("Not implemented");
}
