Vegan Deadly Sins — Restaurant in Sacramento

I recently discovered this place and I was really looking forward to going. I'm not a vegetarian, but if Veggie Today (a superb vegan restaurant in downtown Concord across from Brendan Theater) ever opened a location in Sac, I definitely would become a vegetarian.

This place looked promising, with an extensive menu, and everything looks delicious. But looks can definitely be deceiving. I was SO disappointed. I ordered kung pao tofu and crispy chicken. The kung pao consisted of large pieces of braised tofu and broccoli in a pleasant tasting sauce. The tofu (about six good-sized chunks) was good, but the broccoli was not fresh. After eating four florets, I knew it wasn't going to get better; I didn't finish it. The coating on the small chunks of chicken was devoid of seasoning, as was the chicken itself (I believe it's made from tofu, which requires a ton of seasoning); furthermore, it was a bit dry and over fried. I also ordered a boba, which I expected to be freshly made based on other reviews. It wasn't; it came in a premixed sealed cup. I liked it, but it would have been better had it been freshly made. On top of all that, the sticker shock was... well, shocking! I know I have to overpay for GOOD food (everything's overpriced, especially in California), but nothing I ordered here was worth the $35 I had to pay! I could've gotten 3 delicious meals at Panda Express for the...

Honestly, the food experience was a bit disappointing. As part of the Sacramento “Vegan Chef Challenge”, my friends and I drove a bit over 45 mins after seeing amazing pictures & reviews (*and the name of the restaurant) in the hopes of trying some amazing vegan, Asian food.

FYI: Most of us are Asian, or at least part Asian, so we know what it takes to make really authentic cuisine.

To our discovery after ordering, the food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. It lacked the flavor, spice, and everything nice that true Asian food really comes with. A lot of our dishes were a bit bland. On top of that, the portion sizes were a little small, and the prices, high and expensive.

Overall, as mentioned, the food wasn’t bad, but it just didn’t live up to the expectations my friends and I were hoping for (pictures in this case, over express the actual flavor and potential) and in my opinion, value of what you get.

Overall, we probably won’t be returning, most of us can cook better Asian food at home. The staff were really kind and courteous though.

Note: Our party was also a bit puzzled by the “Covid Health” fee and/or possibly a tax which was charged to each corresponding bill. We’ve never seen this before, so that was a bit...

I am Quite dissatisfied. I had been wanting to visit this location for a long time. I became even more enthusiastic after seeing photographs and reading reviews on the internet. However, I was unsatisfied with the taste of their cuisine, portions and surprised by the costs. Vegan chicken chow mein and eggplant & tofu were on my menu. I was really looking forward to it, but it tasted so basic that I wished I had gone to Panda Express instead. Customers are drawn to this eatery because of its unusual moniker, "vegan deadly sin." However, the meal ( taste & portion) they provide is a sin for the price they charge. I'm not saying the food was bad, but it didn't appear like it in the photographs. The staff was extremely pleasant, accommodating, and efficient. They offer a fantastic menu. There are numerous vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free alternatives available. You get to choose how spicy you want it to be.The food arrived really quickly. The environment is quite lovely, tidy, and clean. There are no parking concerns because there is a large paid parking lot right next to this location. I'm not sure I'll return to this restaurant, but to be honest, I really wanted to go and order...
