To those of you that love eating Asian food but have very strict dietary restrictions (meaning no meat, no eggs, no dairy, and especially no MSG), this very popular hole-in-the-wall restaurant will absolutely have you covered. This is none other than "Noble Vegetarian". I am no stranger to this place as I have been eating here for the past couple of decades. The location can be a bit tricky to find as they are in a very small, quaint strip-mall off of College Oak Dr. and adjacent to Auburn Blvd. in the Foothills Farms neighborhood of Sacramento.
Keep in mind, this place has straight "vegan" everything so if you are cautious if there is any animal products, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. And this includes all of the cooking oils that they use. Going back to my latest stop at this place, I decided to order my food for pickup during the afternoon of Sunday 1/19/2025 at around 12:00pm. Since I have not yet had breakfast, my stomach was rumbling with hunger.
The menu here is very extensive as they carry a huge assortment of vegan options. This includes appetizers such as egg rolls, fries, nuggets, and much more. They also carry a very nice assortment of salads, soups, sandwiches, impossible burgers, rice & noodle plates, and full Asian-inspired vegan entrées. I ended up going with their E11 - "Happy Family Sizzling" which included broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, celery, mushrooms, onions, yams, vegeken (which is a meat substitute), and tofu.
As I mentioned, finding this place is a real hit-or-miss so if you've never been here, make sure you have your maps app open to help navigate you through. Parking is fairly easy to find as this place is very quiet. Once inside, you will notice about 10 tables in case you wish to dine-in. Once the young man handed me my food, I made the quick 10-minute drive back home.
I will say that this place is absolutely as good as it gets and my entrée was absolute perfection in every way possible. Maybe just a tad bit on the salty side but all of the flavors were balanced well. Since it had been a few years eating here, I don't know why I waited so long. And the young man who took my order over the phone was so polite. All in all, "Noble Vegetarian" is a delicious and legit spot for those that need to stay away from meat, poultry, dairy, and eggs. My rating, a unanimous five stars.
