My wife and I are vegan, and always love finding a new (to us) place that appears so vegetarian friendly. After mentioning Andy Nguyen's to me many times as a highly recommended place, we took the drive to Sacramento. We had high hopes for this place based on the reviews we had read online (happycow[dot]org is good for us veg*ans). I didn't see anything on the menu that really grabbed me, but we placed our order figuring it would be good no matter what we got. First came the appetizer sampler we decided to try despite being $14. I couldn't stomach the salad at all, the mock ribs tasted like I would imagine canned dogfood on an old dry sponge might, the spring rolls were edible, though far from actually being any good. I tried to hide my lack of enjoyment as a courtesy to my wife, but it was clear the feeling was mutual. The one plus was that the portions were so small that it didn't seem like we were wasting food when we left it on the plate. At that point I was dreading the entrees. We ordered a coconut milk vegetable dish that was mostly just mushrooms and mint leaves. I like mint, and picked through the oily funky mushrooms and ate the leaves. We also got veggie fried rice. I've had bland fried rice, I've had over salted fried rice. . .this was just BAD fried rice. Oily, sour, icky, and un-edible like the previous dishes had been. My wife had ordered a mock salmon fillet, she used to like salmon 20 years ago. I don't know if a person who eats fish would like it, but wow was that bad - gag reflex inducing bad! The teriyaki sauce and veggies that came with it was good enough though, so between that and some mint leaves we did our best to pretend we'd had dinner. 55 bucks later we had food in take home boxes that the dog wouldn't even eat. Needless to say, we won't be back. I hate to say something negative about a veg*n place - but there are so many great choices around that don't give vegan dining a bad rap - go elsewhere!

Pros: Industrial strength AC reminiscent of a meat locker.
Cons: Terrible food, lousy service, high prices, oh and FREEZING cold - even for two always hot people.

First time visitor, We love it, the food is good and the price is right. Good service and very relax atmosphere for a nice meal after a busy and noisy workday. If you do not know what you want try the sampler and then at the next visit you can get the full course. We also vote with our feed and they are telling us to come back for more.
