Delicious vegan Chinese food - Edit
There are 2 restaurants sharing the same space: E Tea (bubble tea restaurant that has vegan and nonvegan bubble tea) and Vegan Deadly Sins (vegan Chinese restaurant.
Read moreI went in with low expectations after reading the luke-warm reviews here, but I was pleasantly surprised! Everything was delicious! I did warn my family that a couple of the reviews suggested avoiding the vegan chicken, so no one ordered any vegan chicken dishes. I tasted the spicy wontons (with a chewy, meaty filling and not too spicy), the string beans & eggplant with black bean sauce (string beans were perfectly crisp-tender and the eggplant was soft and the sauce was delicious), and the double cooked pork (with soft smoky tofu and vegan pork and crisp-tender cabbage). The rest of my family also loved their food including the very picky older generation, who tried to speak with the staff in Mandarin but the staff did not speak Mandarin.
The tapioca boba for the bubble tea (from E Tea) is described as “honey boba” but they assured me that it is vegan honey from plants, not bees. They did not get specific so I don’t know if it’s a sugar syrup or maybe agave or something else.
You order your food at the counter, sit down, and it is brought to your table when it is ready. Everything is served in disposable takeout containers, even if you are eating there, although I hope this is a temporary situation because of covid.
Pros: Delicious, A big, varied menu, Large portions
Cons: Plastic/disposable containers and utensils

Tasty and all vegan - Edit
This place is pretty darn good. The “chicken” chow mein is great, as is the hot and sour soup. I’m really just holding off on the 5 stars because I’ve had better vegan Asian food but this is still probably the best in the area. I think I’m missing just slightly more spices or punch but really, I order from them a few times a month because they have so many options so I can’t complain that much.

For the record - I rank this 3.5 stars 🔥 - Edit
I’m so conflicted on 3 vs 4 stars and Happy Cow makes me pick 🙈
Read moreGood:
- Boba!
- All vegan restaurant that does an AMAZING job of replicating some dishes I never thought I’d eat again
- endless options
- the vegan meat was great!
With that said, I can’t say I *loved* my food. But for all I know it was just what I ordered and maybe something else would be better. I’ll definitely be coming back and exploring more of their menu because I think there’s probably something here I’m going to fall in love with. Keep an eye out for an edited review😄
Pros: Vegan options , Boba

Lots of variety, kind of bland - Edit
The menu was huge, which was great. But the food itself was really lacking flavor. We got the orange chicken, prawns, and chicken chow mein. All three were just very underwhelming. It tasted like they were all missing some spices or something. I’ve had some really great vegan Chinese food and this just didn’t measure up.
Read morePros: Many menu items, All vegan
Cons: Not amazing tastes, Expensive

Chiken chow mein - Edit
It was a good portion and tasted really good. Only a few pieces of sliced chiken. I ordered the sweet sesame balls. They were really good and they added a little extra. Really good #Veganuary
Read morePros: Tasted good, Good portions
Cons: Not enough chiken in the mein

Solid food and expansive menu! - Edit
I was honestly overwhelmed with just how many options were available here, the only downside is that the entrees seem to not come with rice by default. Forgot to take photos but it was great food! Will be back again

Cockroaches found in health inspection - Edit
In October they were shut down due to a health inspection where over 400 dead/alive cockroaches were found. There were traps for them so the restaurant was aware of the infestation and still serving food. Looking at past health inspections they have always had some problems with roaches. Very gross, I would be cautious about going there.

Yeah this is concerning. I’m going to stay away until they pass the next inspection or maybe two more passing grades.
Read moreFood is really good, just sounds gross to have roaches. 😳

Delicious food overall - Edit
Ordered crunchy spring rolls, coconut curry soup, spicy Kung pao tofu, spicy tan tan noodles, and sweet sesame balls. The food was really good, the soup was a bit bland, and the pieces of tofu were a bit larger than expected. Flavors of the rest of the food were great.

Affordable meal - Edit
Some dishes are delicious, some mediocre. If they can update the restaurant and improve some dishes they can become truly great and earn five stars. The potential is there.
Read morePros: Fried rice with vegan shrimps, Drinks
Cons: Won ton noodle soup was not great, The interior is in urgent need of an update

SO DELICIOUS - Edit
Absolutely loved this. We had a large party and ordered at least 10 dishes for the table. The texture of the mock meats was so impressive. The sweet and sour chicken / chow mein combo was to die for 👌🏻 I thought it was very reasonably priced. The boba tea place connected to it is a huge bonus as well.

Nice effort - Edit
The fusion concept is interesting, but the execution on several of the dishes left me wanting more flavor. The chicken chow mein however, was quite good.

all vegan Chinese in Sacramento - Edit
I recently went to Vegan Deadly Sins with my beloved.
Read moreFirst off we ordered and shared two dishes. We ordered the Vegan Chicken Chowmein. This was superb. Good size portion and flavorful. We aren't big fans of mock meat yet the vegan chicken was well done with good flavor and texture. This dish hit the spot.
The second dish we ordered was the Spicy Kung Pao Tofu. We didn't like the texture of the tofu. It was too soft and we didn't care for the sauce. One plus of this dish was that it came with lots of broccoli so that was welcome.
Overall if we returned we would go with a chowmein and perhaps a wonton soup or another noodle dish. No doubt we will be back at some point yet so many other vegan restaurants in Sacramento that we likely would return to Veg Cafe and perhaps the vegan taco spot or another spot since there are several before returning here.
We are happy to see that Sacramento has a plethora of vegan restaurants which is awesome!
Pros: all vegan Chinese, great chowmein

Mediocre at Best - Edit
The food was palatable, but certainly lacked any amazing flavors. The little girl was rude and made sure she came up multiple times to let us know they are closing soon. Then, she tried to take away my food while I was still eating. Let’s be clear: when I arrive 42 minutes before closing time, that is well within the window of decency for ordering. If it’s 3 minutes before closing time (when you stop taking food orders) it’s inappropriate to let us know your closing. When it’s 2 minutes past closing you don’t take my plates and tell me, “well we’re closed!” Learn some work ethic and customer service.

Little girl?! I've never seen children working there.... Not disputing the service you received (tho I've never had anything but courteous service) just your derogatory comment.

Yummy - Edit
I usually don’t do Chinese food because it’s often slimy and oily. This food was neither! The veggies were fresh and crisp and the sauces/broth was light and delicious. We ordered take away and even when we got home it was steaming and boiling hot!
Read moreSo yummy and very clean. Loved it.
Pros: Tonnes of fresh veggies, Light on the oil, Delish

Best sesame balls! - Edit
Yes, they have the best sesame balls of any vegan or non vegan restaurant! Tasty, crisp, not greasy.
Read moreGreat selection of Chinese food, many that I have craved, but not seen vegan before, like mapu tofu (non vegan version is made with ground pork). That was delicious, but not quite the same as I remember the non-vegan version. Singapore style rice noodles are my favorite so far, I order them just about every time, and also try something new. Last time I tried taro sticks. Yum! Crispy, spicy deliciousness. This is my go-to place when I crave Chinese food. #Veganuary
Pros: All vegan, Delicious food, great variety , Great service
Cons: Plastic #5 containers. I.e., not even recyclable

Simply, slammin - Edit
What did I like about this place? EVERY. THING. The food, the boba tea, the folks working on Thanksgiving. The pumpkin tofu curry and Thai tea with boba were the highlights of the meal, but the folks here made the stop so much better. Found out new vegan stop in Sacramento!
Read morePros: Tons of food and drink options, Value is great, Open on Thanksgiving?!
Cons: Not closer to San Deigo

Wow! Great food! My aspiring vegan friend loved it. I’ve bee vegan since 1997 - this is one of the best vegan restaurants in the US. Kung Pao has fresh veggies and great sauce. Chicken chow mein has great noodles and Napa cabbage. Sweet and sour soup and wonton soup came in huge bowls. Both yummy. Jasmine tea has jasmine blossoms! Definitely a destination any time I’m in Sacramento. Food is much better than the outside appearance.
