Vegan Deadly Sins

My daughter bought me here for lunch on a rainy Friday in December. She’s a vegan and loves the food here. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I liked it too. Metered parking available right in front of the entrance.

Hidden fees. When I received my receipt I noticed there were two hidden fees. 1) Service charge of 15% for parties of 5 or more. When I asked the staff about this service charge, they said it was on the menu. It turns out that this service charge is NOT on the main menu when you walk in (which the staff member acknowledged), but only in small print on the menu next to the cashier. Given that it is not on the main menu, I would expect to not be charged for it, but the staff member did not agree. Even if the service charge was clearly labeled, these are usually reserved for places where you have a waiter and not when you are coming up to the counter to order food. 2) They charge you 5% for paying with a credit card. I am almost certain that credit card companies are not charging the restaurant 5% for credit card transactions. If these are clearly posted then I can choose whether I want to eat there or not, but they are only evident once you pay for your meal.

(Ordered takeout)Every dish my family ordered was really, really good. The walnut "shrimp" is a must try! The classic eggplant in black bean sauce was equally delicious. We will have to return once we visit Sacramento again!

The food is amazing! I even took an extra plate to work, and my co-workers, who aren't even remotely vegan, wanted to know the name of the place. I raved about it on Instagram, and now everyone is asking me for the location. I told them to just Google the name and try everything on the menu because it’s all fantastic. This is one of my top favorites in Sacramento—you just can’t beat this place!

Great service, the staff were friendly. The restaurant was a little run down, meaning that decor was a little outdated and dining tables looked old. I don’t usually eat fake meat so I ordered items with “chicken” and “beef”, rather than purely vegetable dishes or items with tofu. The flavor of the food itself was average, nothing outstanding that would have me rave. There was a LOT of food in one order, however so definitely bring your appetite when you come here. The texture of the “meat” was pretty close to the real thing. To me, this is a place I would stop at if I was hungry, I didn’t want to cook and I had food restrictions. This place gets the job done. Oh, I also ordered a milk tea and the boba tasted fresh! I always appreciate when the tapioca is good.
