    Vegan Banh Mi Burger and tempura green beans were so good!
    Lynn O.

    Really good vegan burger spot! My friend in the area recommended we try this place for dinner. Minimalist interior with elements of metal chairs, wooden tables and green foliage accents. The staff who took our order was nice and helped us decide on what to get. We started with their crafted bubbles: Passion Fruit with chia seeds and Salted Lemon Plum with mint ($7 each). They're served in large glasses and had to take some to-go. I didn't try the salted lemon plum, but I really liked the passion fruit with chia seeds. It wasn't too sweet and the passion fruit was fresh. The Banh Mi Burger ($17.5) was bomb! The vegan beef patty was hearty and could pass for a beef patty. The fresh cilantro, jalapeños, pickled carrots and cucumber added a nice crunch and kick. I hadn't had tempura green beans in a while and these were a nice change from the usual fries. I forget how much they cost, but they gave a generous amount, enough for a few people to share. They were seasoned perfectly, lightly fried and not too greasy. My friend got a curry noodle bowl and she didn't seem super jazzed about it. I think their burgers are the way to go here!

    Banh Mi Burger with Charred Broccoli
    Lynne M.

    Super friendly service. Really appreciated we could bring the dogs in on this super hot day. The restaurant was clean and cool. Wanted to love the food, but it was middle of the road for us. Banh Mi Burger had raw topping and not very flavorful. The bolognese had a lack of depth of flavor. No umami. Very raw tomato tasting. The charred broccoli was mostly raw with that fake liquid smoke taste. Fries good hard to not be good. The Maha Mushrooms another deep fried item so they were crispy and good. The corn ribs were fibrous, dry, tough, no real flavor, hugely disappointing. The Village of Om around the corner was excellent. Not sure we'd come back here.

    Buddha Salad (House)
    Anissa R.

    I feel like I'm middle of the road for Buddha, partially because I got a salad and my husband's burger was much better. Ha! They are vegan which is nice (we're trying to limit how much meat we eat). Their fries were awesome and as I mentioned, I highly recommend the burger over the salad (based on the bite I had). They are pricey, but all the ingredients felt fresh. I'll be back for a burger!

    Tomato basil soba noodles

    Vegan restaurant here in town and the food is fantastic! It's full of unique dishes with fresh and healthy ingredients! We love the okra and mushroom tempura with its perfectly light transparent batter for the crunch with the chewiness of the ouster mushroom and fibrous okra inside. Lions mane nuggets was also well battered and full of crunch and the sauce very tasty. While it doesn't have the firmness of traditional nuggets, the lions mane is healthy and tasty. I am a sucker for anything with oyster mushrooms so I ordered the tomato basil soba noodle dish. The kids and I love the freshness and I personally like to add a little be more salt and flavor to mine. Sunshine bowl has very healthy ingredients and good texture but also needed more flavor for my Indian wife who craves strong flavors. The hand crafted passion fruit with chia seeds is the chill we needed to cool down on a hot summer day! As a BONUS! We happened upon their first ever kids painting event possibly happening on Saturdays and Tuesdays in the future. The kids had so much fun getting to color on their personal easel to take home. It also gave us parents time to relax. I even got to writeem this review without interruption! Owner mentioned entertaining other arts and craft ideas and we love it!

    Took my kids for the first time here lunch. We got the All American Burger, Carne Asasa Burger and Baby buddha burgers. All were fantastic. Staff was friendly and we were able to get a seat quickly. Dining area is spacious and clean. Overall was the one of the best vegan burgers we've had in Sac.

    WHY WE WENT HERE: - dinner THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located on the corner of S St and 19th St - street parking available and walk over THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - industrial modern - order at the register, obtain a number, seat yourself, and your order is brought to you when it's ready THE MENU: - avocado toast - small bites - buddha bowls & salads - today's specials - burgers - soups - lemonade - crafted juice - plant shake - fresh pressed juice - hand crafted bubbles - coffee & hot tea WHAT WE ORDERED: - Buddha Fries - Charred Broccoli - Carne Asada Burger - Corn Ribs - Maha Mushrooms - Okra - Spaghetti Bolognese THE TASTE: - favorites for sure were the Maha Mushrooms, Charred Broccoli, and Okra - Carne Asada Burgers were misleading in the sense that it wasn't Carne Asada, but a regular patty - Spaghetti was great, I personally love when my pasta is saucy and the ingredients aren't overpowered or outnumbered by the pasta itself - Buddha fries were good with the sauce - corn ribs were refreshing CUSTOMER SERVICE: - cashier was very mellow and welcoming

    First time going, first time loving a a vegan menu! The food is soooo good, love their corn ribs! Service was quick and efficient, such a friendly staff. Andy, the owner, he's so great! The interior is so fall-core, very toasty inside and I love how minimal it is. Almost all seatings are next to a huge window, view of city life while enjoying a meal. Bathrooms are squeaky clean, tables were spotless. Definitely will be coming back!

    Spaghetti was okay.  For those who suffers from acid I suggest you don't attempt but the vegetarian protein was good.

    Preparing my fellow foodies a wonderful food experience is what I am for and expect nothing less from others review as well. Let me say that parking already is bad due to it being located on the busy corner of S and 19th next to the well known location of Massage Envy. Customer service is 5/5 patiently taking orders without making customers feel rushed Ambiance is 5/5 is so relaxing with the music playing softly in the background so you don't all have to converse by yelling at one another Food is 5/5 Bathroom 5/5 2 stalls, smells amazing and very roomy

    Love this place but prices are rising
    Jacinda C.

    5/5 for service, food quality, and menu options. 2/5 for price, as it is now becoming way overpriced. I've come here many times as I love the food, ambience, and multiple menu options. My absolute favorite items to order are the maha mushrooms with the sauce and golden milk latte. The flavors are impeccable, but I have been disappointed with the increase in price lately. When I purchased both, the total to go price came out to be $24, and I was told it was because the owner is trying to open other restaurants. Considering it was an appetizer and drink for the cost, it may prevent be from coming back as often in the future.

    First time at this establishment, and I must say I enjoyed the experience. The music playing,suggestions from the staff Alex. He was so kind and helpful. Go Alex , absolutely the best! The food was delicious oh my. I had spicy garlic edamame,Zen burger, blueberry lemon drink, budda fries, my friend had another burger. I'm still in awe of the taste, it was so delicious. I'm definitely coming back to this place whenever in town.

    Really yummy food! I don't think I'd think twice about the burger being vegetarian. The corn ribs were also super fun and unique! Well seasoned I'd say. The Buddha fries were delicious, I do wish there was more sauce on them though to cover all the fries and layers :) i ordered through DoorDash but would love to go in person soon :)

    Saturday 11-3 kids get to paint and play with blocks while mom and dad enjoy their meal. We forgot to take photos of the food but it was delicious. We will be back! - lions burger - American classic - fries - mango black tea (this had lychee and chia seeds)

    So they have outdoor seating?

    Do you have a gluten free bun? I see a wheat free bun but that doesn't help people with celiac disease?

    Yes we do.

    What is the "beef" you use?

    Their menu states the burgers are a blend of Impossible (which is soy and potato based protein) and Hungry Planet (which is soy based)

    Please let us know when the soft opening is?

I visited sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Wraps, and Bowls in Sacramento, CA [1629 S St] on Sunday, 05/09/26, around 12:15 PM. For May 2026, the deal was still going on for the $12 Chicken Tostada Bowl. I had this bowl at the other location; it was so delicious that I had to order it again here while taking advantage of the offer. It was a literal win-win situation. I customized the Chicken Tostada Bowl with baby spinach, white rice, raw carrots, tomatoes, cilantro, tortilla chips, feta crumble, and antibiotic-free blackened chicken. I included an extra addition of the lime cilantro jalapeño sauce and sweetgreen hot sauce. I was pleased with the execution of the bowl. The ingredients were beyond fresh and locally sourced. The flavor completely satisfied my taste buds. The bowl was portioned greatly, and thus was fulfilling. I enjoyed consuming the bowl in front of the establishment outdoors. This location presented a nice, peaceful environment in the heart of Midtown Sacramento. The parking situation was a bit of a challenge, since the Ice Blocks development is known to be busy in general. I'd prefer visiting the location on Fair Oaks + Howe, for the reason that parking is much easier. However, the Midtown location is just as great and meets expectations. It's nice to know that I can visit, in case I happen to be in the area.

I didn't want to order from the app and order in person to see how the service was, but upon arrival there was no one there to take my order, just an ordering kiosk. So it is best to order off the app for convenience. I've ordered off the app a couple of times and my food is always ready to go. Overall the juice came out a couple of minutes after ordering. I was very impressed with what I've ordered, which was Apples and Ginger. I can taste the quality of the juice, and the fact that it was under $4 was unbeatable. I would highly recommend this place for not only their food items but their beverages as well!

The fries were actually pretty good, an above average standard French fry with salt. The burger however was phenomenal. There was an amazing crust on the outside reminiscent of a backyard bbq. There was ample bacon, lettuce, cheese and sauce to make it a balanced bite. The bun was high end brioche style, they really went all out on quality of ingredients. A standard burger build but done perfectly! Beer was cold, food was great and the ambiance is a perfect local bar. Great spot to go if you don't mind hunting for a parking space.

In the end, you are getting a quality meal in a contemporary and clean setting - what more can you ask for? I always opt for the tuna melt. It's a healthy dose of tuna with cheese on buttery sourdough. I've been trying to be more carb conscious, so I opted for the side salad. It was a great lunch. The bread wasn't too greasy and there was a great portion of tuna on it. Each bite was full and buttery. The side salad was beautiful and it was topped off with fresh strawberries which are in season now. It was paired with not overwhelming vinaigrette. There are a plethora of hot items, sandos, salads, and other items to choose from. It's somewhat of elevated, classic lunch joint. My only grip is that it is $$$, but inflation...am I right? Without a drink, i left with a $25 bill. Could have put it in the 3 star realm for me, but it was a solid meal and cool atmosphere.
