Anna's Vegan Cafe

I have been eyeballing this place for a very long time. I wasn't exactly sure of where it was located. It's in a good area a little out of the way. The decor is a bit dated & the videos online on the website from customers didn't make me rush over. However, I waa pleasantly surprised today. I ordered a last minute lunch special before they close at 2pm to reopen at 4pm for dinner hours. The guy at the front desk and the lady cook were both very kind, attentive, and hospitable. My food was ready in a quick 10 minutes. Very convenient if I have my car but, usually around this time of day I am parked in a huge parking structure far away from my job so I don't usually drive anywhere during my lunch break at 1pm. I ordered the #10 and a side of spring rolls which are my new favorite. The

This is in no way Chinese food. This had to be the most bland nasty food I have ever had in my life. It was absolutely disgusting. We had so-called fried rice, which is white rice undercooked with overcooked vegetables, and tasteless. Pineapple chunks in it. We had chow mein noodles that taste like Ramen noodles with absolutely not an ounce of flavored to it. We had their orange chicken that was some weird plant base meat covered in pancake batter and deep-fried into balls if they weren’t close today on a Sunday. I would have my husband bring the food back. It was disgusting nowhere near Chinese food and on top of all that the next day it gave me the runs the straight boo-boos. I have been vegan for a long time and I have been to vegan Chinese places there’s a Thai place out here that is a

Great hole-in-the-wall mom and pop Asian spot, regardless of your diet. I’m not even vegetarian and I think Anna’s may be my local favorite. Tough to thread the needle on some odd hours but consistently worth the effort.

Good quick service and great vegan food! We ordered the 'chicken' drumstick which is a fried soy drumstick. We also ordered the Mongolian 'beef', orange 'chicken,' pineapple fried rice, and Au Lac which is a large piece of soy 'meat' sliced with sauce and salad. All the dishes were delicious and had distinct different flavors. My only complaint was the batter on the orange chicken was very thick, I usually like it thinner (I've had some great orange soy chicken in SF so I've been spoiled!). Would definitely come back, the prices are very reasonable as well!

Annas Vegan Cafe is small but mighty! They are a 100% vegan restaurant and (in my opinion) they are Sacramento's BEST option for Vegan Chinese food! The food comes out fast and they are quite friendly. I only wish they were open every day!
