    a sign in the window of a chinese restaurant
    Marsalia R.

    I called over the phone. I was able to ask the difference between the regular wonton. And the war wonton I know able to get my explanation pretty easily. The second one obviously comes with more comes with bok choy, which is really good and it comes with some meats and some shrimp I could go without the shrimp. I'm not a real big fan of the pork I don't know why however it could be beef. I'm just not sure. I really love the wontons. I could actually eat a whole thing of the wonton by itself. I was really impressed with the packaging so that way it wasn't sitting there in the juices I was able to pull it out and put it into my bowl. The wontons 5/5 The flu has taken over my house and this was the best thing to eat while sick

    Deep fried cod with salty egg yolk
    Christine N.

    I have been craving Chinese food and we always come back to CF Cheng. We have been coming here for years. No one else makes the hand shredded chicken with jelly fish like they do! It's so good and tasty. We also got the deep fried cod with salty egg yolk. There is plenty of salty egg yolk but we wish it was more on the fish rather than on the bottom. The salt and pepper pork chop is typical like any other restaurant.

    Oh how the mighty have fallen. Over a decade ago CF Cheng was the best authentic Chinese restaurant in town. I am not sure when the change of ownership took place but the kitchen has suffered greatly. The food is no longer perfectly seasoned in fact often it lacks flavor at all. The beef chow fun gravy style with greens is my go to dish. The last 3-4 times I have ordered it there is so little sauce the noodles are still white ! There are still some good things here. The pork and shrimp wonton soup is still the best wonton in Sacramento but in general the food is bland or under seasoned. If you want ok food CF Cheng can provide it.

    Chicken fried rice
    Anuja S.

    One of the top Chinese places in Natomas. It's a small restaurant with very basic ambience and doesn't look inviting but that shouldn't stop you from trying this place the service and food makes up for what masks in ambience. We ordered chicken fried rice, crispy chicken wings, chicken buns, kung pao chicken, sesame balls, and the sautéed pea sprouts. Everything was yummy, but the kung pao chicken was the best! I only wish that they wud add a little less oil. Don't miss out on good Chinese spot at Natomas!

    In a nutshell; Pretty good solid chinese food The PF changs nearby seems to only be doing take out now so CF Cheng it is. Not quite sure if the owners know each other but the naming convention makes it seem so. Parking isn't a problem as it is in a good sized lot with other businesses. Not the biggest place but still has a decent number of tables. Food is filling and for sure worth the amount or price that accompanies any of the menu choices. Servers were accommodating. Overall isn't anything entirely unique but if you're looking for chinese food that's for sure to be chinese comfort food then this is a place to consider.

    CF or PF? They sounded alike. I don't know anything about the Chinese food in Sacramento, but, I gave them a try on a recent business trip. They didn't disappoint. I ordered a seafood pan fried noodle and a hand sheared chicken with jellyfish by phone. The seafood pan fried noodles came with shrimp, squid and bok choy. It had plenty of sauce. The hand sheared chicken came with juicy chicken pieces atop a bed of jellyfish and garnished with green onions. Both dishes made for a good dinner. Service was good. The guy taking my order on the phone spoke both Chinese and English. They food was ready when I arrived. It was a good place. I think they were better than the other PF place for my taste buds.

    Fried chicken
    Ann H.

    I decided to try a different Chinese restaurant and received mixed reactions toward the quality of the food. I was disappointed that they do not serve fish, lobster, and crab during the weeknights. The hot and sour soup was just okay. It was more sour than spice. The fried chicken was extremely overcooked and very dry. I was disappointed that the clay pot rice was not crispy on the bottom. The sauce was not well seasoned. No complaints on the ma pao tofu and the salted fish fried rice. Despite the mixed quality of food, I would like to dine in again on the weekends to try their seafood dishes.

    Great authentic food! I look forward to top notch Chinese cuisine when I travel to Ca. I found this gem on yelp and glad I came. I will add this to my travel each time I'm in Sacramento. Service is slow so be prepared to be patient. The phone rings off the hook from phone orders if that tells you something.

    Orange chicken.. delicious
    Lisa M.

    We had a great experience at CF Chang! We ordered the Orange Chicken, Walnut Shrimp, House Chow Mein, and Pork Green Beans. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a solid spot for delicious Chinese food and a relaxing meal!

    Stoped in for the first time to see if I can find abba no Chinese food spot out here, the rice was good the beef wasn't the tates I was looking for but the food wasn't bad at all juts not what I was looking for flavor wise from the beef m, but the noodles and rice was good Food : 8/10 Service 9/10 Will come back: yea Tip : no tip first time here

    Steam chicken
    George V.

    My lady was craving chinese food and this was in the area so we decided to try it out. The service was decent. They checked on us a couple of times. The food itself was mediocre. It wasn't bad, but yet it wasn't the best. The honey walnut shrimp was not bad. The steam chicken was okay. We also got pan fried noodles which was pretty bland. It was not the best and could use some more seasoning.

    Sizzling pot cod
    Tiffany H.

    Was in the area so I decided to get take out. Tried a few dim sum and the sizzling cod clay pot. The xiao long bao did not have much soup in it. By the time I got home to eat it, it seemed like most of them had holes in the wrappers when it got transferred. The siu mei and har gau are also small for the price but tasted ok. The sizzling cod clay pot had decent flavor. It comes with a bed of cooked lettuce which I'm not a fan of. I would probably try other things and only order the xiao long bao to eat in the restaurant. Service was good though and the lady who helped me and answered the phone was nice.

    Menu as of 11/7/2021
    Paula T.

    One of the best Chinese food in North Sacramento! Although service was slow because there was a lot of take out orders, the food was worth it. My favorite was the perking pork - the flavor and tenderness of the meat was amazing! I always order the ying yang fried rice that's not on the menu and it hits the spot every-time. It's a small restaurant so seating is limited. The portion on the honey walnut shrimp is a bit skimp, but it's still delicious!

    Is this place still heavily dependent on to-go orders? and if so, is the wait time still an hour to an hour and a half to get your food whether its to-go or dine-in?

    They do a lot of togo business because they only have a handful of tables. You are better off ordering togo if you don't want to wait.

    Is this place open for dine in?

    Yes

    Do they have curbside pickup? if so, i'd order VERY frequently.

    I order on the phone then walk inside to pick it up on the counter. They're masked up and have hand sanitizers on the table.

    Ferrari Fisheries - Broiled pieces of black cod fillets, so fresh tasting

    Shout out for West Sacramento…read more.. Did you know that right in West Sacramento there is a seafood stand selling fresh sustainable caught hook n line fish plucked from the Bodega Bay? Well know you do... Ferrari Fisheries has a stand that sells black cod, ling cod, red snapper which all are year round catches; and seasonal Dungeness crab and salmon. When they have a fresh caught batch; they text their customers what is available catch, and time & date. To get their text notifications; you can sign up on their website. I was fortunate enough to get to their stand early enough on a notification day to buy a couple of Dungeness crabs. The crabs were live, priced at $11/pound. Awesome price! When you get to the stand, there are two lines. The first line you want to get into is the one nearest the big containers where the fish on ice or crabs are kept. If you want your fish filleted, let them know. It is a complimentary service. Then you head into the other line to pay. They take cash and card, I'm not sure about other payment types. Keep in mind, the inventory sells quickly especially the seasonal items. Folks queue up earlier than the opening time stated in the texts. The start time was 10am; I got there at 10:20 am. They sold out as I was leaving the stand. Anthony (owner and fishing captain), his wife, and team are terrific. They all were helpful and had the best attitudes. Welcoming. I'm sure they answer the same questions over and over. But when talking with each customer, they were engaged and provided individual attention. Top notch customer service!

    I love buying fish from Anthony. Why? The fish is always ocean fresh & tastes amazing. Prices are…read morereasonable. And Anthony? The guy is a superb human being who works hard to put the tasty, fresh fish on the table for others, including me & my family. And he makes it conveniently available in West Sacramento. What's not to love?

    I had been waiting to try Fresh Off the Boat for a while and finally stopped by for lunch. The…read morespace is roomy with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It is a very casual setup, so do not expect an elevated dining experience. We ordered the FOB shrimp and the Chicken Katsu plate. The shrimp arrived a bit too sour and noticeably greasy for my taste. The Chicken Katsu was average and lacked the flavor and crispness I was hoping for. The macaroni and cheese that came with it was also quite dry, which made the plate feel incomplete. Service is minimal since you order at the counter and pick up your food yourself. I went in with high expectations and left feeling disappointed, especially considering how popular the place seems to be. That said, I am still open to giving it another try. There are a few other dishes on the menu that look promising, and I hope they will deliver a better impression on my next visit.

    I stopped into Fresh Off Da Boat to pick up lunch after some meetings in the area. Honestly, I'm so…read moresad it's been so long since my last visit, because this place serves up some amazing food. The menu changes depending on what they're making, but they have certain items that are pretty consistent. One of those is poke. I LOVE their poke here, they have their own seasoned poke mix with fresh fish, veggies and sauce and it is delicious. They offer it as nachos, a bowl, or loaded fries and while I'm tempted to try some of the other options the bowl is my go-to. The poke bowl is $15 and comes with rice with furikake as well as a good portion of poke. Like I mentioned, it's preseasoned and it delicious. The ingredients are fresh and I love their flavor combination. I would love if the bowl came with a scoop of mac salad, but with the portion at this price I'm happy to add it as a side. I ordered the spring rolls ($4) and it came with five pieces of crispy and flavorful fried spring rolls. Great value for the price. I also ordered the pork laulau ($14) and Musubi ($3) for my husband and the portions on these were also great. The musubi was hot and flavorful and they gave me some FOB sauce with the musubi that went surprising well together. The laulau plate had mac salad, rice, and the wrapped pork. The pork was fattier than some of the laulau I've had in Hawaii, but was flavorful and the whole plate was a perfect portion for the price. The team working here was very friendly and helped me get in and out with my to-go order pretty quickly. The food was packed with care and made it home and was still nice and hot after the drive. They use high quality to-go containers and line them with aluminum foil which is a nice touch. They also made sure the vents were open on the spring rolls so they'd stay crispy. They have plenty of seating inside, as well as some outdoor seating. This restaurant is a bit tucked away, but has plenty of parking. I will definitely be back, and I won't wait as long between visits, because the food is so good! Check out their instagram for specials.
