This place is so good. Always fresh food and tasty. It's our go to for Chinese. Wish they would make place but bigger because it's always so crowded read more

Legit Cantonese restaurant in Sactown. (Go dubs btw! Lol) At first I ignored this place on Yelp, thinking they were trying to copy PF Chang's and thought that was corny. But then I looked closer at the pics, and it looked good. Wanted a mix of dim sum and regular Chinese dishes, and saw it had both. Plus as anyone in pursuit of Cantonese food will know, if a place has steamed pork patty on the menu, that's a good sign it's going to be authentic and not the run of the mill cream cheese wonton place. Happy to report the quality matched the expectations. And the lady taking orders was very friendly too. At home we make chow mein with pan fried noodles, Hong Kong style i guess you could say. But we do it with the thicker noodles, not the thin ones they use at restaurants. On a whim, I asked if they could do it... and they obliged! It was really good, they should add it to the menu. We inadvertently added the sauce from the braised pork belly and it made it even better, since it was a more developed sauce. Anther standout was the peel and eat shrimp with salted egg. First time trying this and it was addicting! The chicken in the sweet and sour was super dry, but the batter and sauce were perfect and good enough to make it edible, so we could give it a pass. The char siu slices in the chow mein were also dry and tough (leaner pieces with no fat), but the rest of the dish was so good we didn't care. I don't live in Sac, but I'd definitely try to come back here whenever I'm in town. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Best salt and pepper fish! And for last minute party trays! The medium tray of chow mein was a great deal and was over filled to the top.

Our neighborhood spot we like to visit. The service is quick, but can depend on the crowds that day.

First time trying this place out. I ordered the eggplant with garlic. I asked them to add tofu to it. It was SO delicious and yummy!! The whole thing was PERFECT. Can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu! read more

They are always accommodating, polite and the food is always freshly made. Even on their busy days they always provide excellent food and service. read more

Salt n Pepper pork chops with the chicken chow mein lunch special always hits the spot. You don't need a picture just get an order of it. Thank me later. read more

I have no idea why it took me so long before I tried CF Cheng at Natomas. Many of my friends recommended CF Cheng. I have many times planned to have dinner or lunch there. But for some reason, my dinner plans at CF Cheng were changed at the last minute the last few times! But I finally tried them out yesterday. I'm glad I did. They're better than I expected. A solid five-star rating! CF Cheng's dining room is a little dated but immaculate and well-lit. The tables and chairs are comfortable. The ladies who work in the dining room are also friendly and attentive. They are handling the customers and many to-go orders very well and quickly. I ordered a Hand Sheared Chicken, Sweet and sour Ribs, and an XO Sauce Fried Rice. All three items are excellent, and the portion is generous. The Sweet & Sour Ribs (they use pork chops) are very tender and delicious. It is one of the best I have had in Sacramento. The parking lot is not very busy on the weekends. I can park my car very quickly and close to the restaurant. No homeless I can see in the area. The area is safe and clean. I'm sure I'll come back again soon. read more

Love the fried rice with lots of flavor! Beef chow fun differently delicious! My friend had the pan fried noodles and it was tasty too! The service was superb being there the day before New Year's Eve. I don't understand the mix review because I every dish that I came out looked scrumptious! I wanted it all! Very authentic Chinese cuisine! read more

Walked in at 8:15pm and I was told they were closed! Their hours of operation lists 9pm as closing time. Their hours of operation is inconsistant. I would call first before driving or just go somewhere else. I also noticed that their seating is very limited with few scatered tables and dirty and not setup. It did not give the impression of a clean restaurant. read more

Ordered the Mongolian beef special. Under $17 which included an egg roll and a small soup. Not bad! Called ahead to order. Small place it gets packed quickly. read more

I feel all types of way writing this review because I was hoping to find a go to spot, but the food was just ok. We ordered the Dinner B for 2 since it was a new spot for us. Unfortunately, not much flavor in the dishes we received and felt a bit misguided by all these reviews. Maybe we should have ordered something different...I don't know. Service was nice. No issues there at all. Smaller space but overall was clean and friendly. read more

Not to be confused with PF Cheng's! Were they trying to be clever??? Hmmm ... lol! I should've known not to order dim sum from a non-dim sum specialty place! Same with wonton noodles, eh. S/P crispy tofu were a-ight, bigger pieces would be preferred. Glad those weren't the only items on our menu cuz everything else was delicious!! Love the Chinese broccoli in wine sauce! So much flavor and in my mind it's good for me cuz it's veggies! ;) walnut shrimp was plump and crispy, steak veggies were good too. No frills place, kinda small too. And they do get busy! The restaurant was 75% full and at infe point there were 10 people in line either picking up or placing to-go orders. Hope they have a big kitchen several chefs back there! I think I'll do takeout next time. read more

This is was the most disgusting Chinese food I have ever had. I can't believe the high ratings this place received. Orange chicken was nothing but dry batter had no flavor. The sweet and sour pork was also dry and tasted like grade f meat. Rice was over cooked and dry. The only decent thing was walnut prawns. Spent $55 and the restaurant couldn't even provide a napkin, fork or fortune cookie. Never again. The next day I had the worst migraine obviously sign they use MSG in food. Please don't waste your money. read more

5 stars. The prices are really good. The food is better than the prices suggest. This place was busy. Good place to get affordable food. A lot of positive reviews. 4.5 star Siu Mei. For $5 this was really good. Nice sized portions. Good flavor. For $5 this was with it. 4.5 stars wonton noodles soup. For $10 this was really good. Broth had a lot of flavor. Won tons were big and tasted good. Minor complaint was the noodles were a bit on the crunchy side. Still ate everything. Will still order this again. 5 star steamed BBQ pork buns. For $5 this was really good. Pork had a lot of flavor. Bun tasted good. 5 star tomato beef. For around $10 this was good. Beef was tender and had a sweet flavor. Lots of beef and veggies. read more

It's been a while since I've been here (pre-pandemic!) which is a shame because this is such a great spot! I came here on Thanksgiving, and there was a huge line. It took us 15 minutes to get seated and another 30 minutes to get our food ( no fault of the restaurant, they were at top speed and very friendly!). They have a great week day lunch special. The price is so reasonable and the portions are huge! I ordered sweet and sour pork with chow mein noodles for extra $1, and my boyfriend ordered chicken curry with fried rice and cha sui. The fried rice was so good and the chow mein definitely hit the spot. Service was great and efficient. They are closed Mondays which I found out the hard way. There's plenty of parking available at the strip mall. This will definitely be part of my restaurant rotation! read more

Best hidden gem! The food here is authentic and delicious. My favorites are the won ton soup and seafood crispy noodles. The ingredients are fresh and tastes amazing. Won ton dumplings are stuffed with pork and shrimp. The soup it comes in is flavorful and piping hot. Wonderful during the cold fall season. The crispy noodles are heaped with stir fry seafood that is well prepared and tastes great. I also tried the fried fish with duck egg flavor. It was amazing! I will be back to try more dishes here. read more

Came here for an early Chinese New Year's dinner. I haven't been to CF Cheng in years. The restaurant was relatively small with limited tables. By the time I walked in there was a line of people waiting to get their takeout order with most of the tables occupied. Luckily I was able to get a table. We ordered 6 different dishes. The salt and pepper shrimp were nice and hot, the walnut shrimp was not overly sweet, the tomato beef was okay the tomatoes were much better than the beef, the spareribs with black bean sauce was excellent, the steamed pork with squid needed a little bit more pepper, and the glass noodles with gourd was surprisingly tasty. Definitely coming back. read more

Decided to try CF Cheng and get takeout, so we called ahead and were told it would be a 30 minute wait. When picking up the food, the workers were attentive and quick to help. Items ordered: - Beef chow fun with black bean sauce: They asked if we had wanted dry and gravy, so we ended up going with their recommendation of gravy and the gravy came in a separate bowl on the side. I personally think there was already enough sauce without the added gravy which was very thick. The noodles without the gravy still tasted great but might have been a little overcooked since the noodles kept falling apart when I tried picking them up. Came with a good amount of bell peppers, beef, and onions in the dish too. - Sauteed green beans with minced pork: A classic dish that came with A LOT of green beans which was great. Can never go wrong with green beans! - Honey walnut shrimp: When opening the box we were initially disappointed with the number of shrimps that we were given, but each shrimp came with a lot of dressing so I was only able to eat a couple shrimps. Flavor was great, dressing was a little bit on the dense side. - BBQ pork egg foo young: We did not know what to expect with this dish, but it ended up coming out to be like a fried omelette with vegetables, onions, and BBQ pork inside. I felt like there was barely any BBQ pork inside it, but the flavor was still good. Pretty large menu and a decent spot. Would not mind dining in next time! read more

Great food and service. The dishes are always prepared exactly the way I like. They modify the dishes I like for health reasons and always do it with a smile. Best Chinese food in town. read more

Big portions of authentic Cantonese food. Overly greasy on all dishes, the salt and pepper squid was greasy not crispy or crunchy. It was ok for the value but would have paid more for less greasy dishes. read more

Go to take out and we go there to eat in sometimes on lunar year annually! House fried rice which has no pork and also their veggie fried rice is good. My faves are the beef cilantro soup and szhechuan chicken or chicken broccoli and teriyaki chicken. read more

We ordered: 1. Beef and broccoli: we liked it, good portions. 2. Chow mein: not bad. Could use a bit more meat and veg 3. Orange chicken: breading could be thinner 4. Honey walnut prawns: a bit sweeter than what im used to, but not bad. Large shrimps. Overall good service, affordable. read more

This our new goto place for chinese food. Even though we have to drive 50 miles from Fairfield. It's better than the places we used to go in San Francisco. Have never had a bad dish. The service is always good. We usually have more than 10 people so it's good to call ahead because it's not that big. read more

Authentic and delicious. Staple of Natomas for over a decade. Family run business that never disappoints.

You never know what you might get when you try a new restaurant and trust the yelp reviews. I did ask a gentleman standing in line waiting for his to-go order what was good here (not hi, not excuse me)! He gave his seal of approval and we stayed. This place is worth the visit! We were celebrating a friend's birthday and her only ask...Chinese food! We were a party of 5 and walked in without at wait. We opted for the family style meal for 5. The portions were HUGE (leftovers for the next day), the service attentive, huge chunks of fresh vegetables, and enjoyed the variety. And the food kept on coming! The only thing all of us didn't care for were the egg rolls. They were meh. read more

Delicious food and reasonable prices! Get there before 6:30pm; it gets super crowded and can get chaotic on Friday or Saturday nights.

When looking for a bite to eat with my family we decided to stop at CF Cheng. There is plenty of parking available in the surrounding area. The restaurant isn't very large, and although the inside isn't super decorated it still looks nice and was clean. The customer service is good, we were warmly greeted and checked on several times throughout our meal. We ended up ordering their Orange Peel Chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, House Special Chow Mein, and Steamed Pork Dumplings. All of the plates were pretty good, with a lot of flavor and fair quantity. We thought it was a little off that the Honey Walnut Shrimp had the walnuts on the side, but that wasn't a big deal. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants in the area, but CF Cheng is one of the good ones. read more

I'm really behind on this review. Went here for Christmas Eve. I really liked the food. We had sizzling rice soup, vegetarian egg roll, egg fried rice, chicken pan fried noodle, lemon chicken and snow pea shoot. The soup was savory and flavorful. They just didn't really do the whole sizzling rice presentation. It came with the rice already in the soup. The pan fried noodles were good. Savory, thick sauce with good flavor. Not the best ever but definitely slightly above average. The stir fried garlic pea shoots were pretty standard in a good way. I feel like it's pretty much same wherever I've been which as I said is good. Perfectly tender with good flavor not mushy like I imagine it could be if cooked poorly. Lemon chicken was tasty. Good balance of sweet and acid. The chicken carried the salt flavor for the full balance. Nice crispy texture once it came out. Overall I like the food here. Servers were very nice; however, on this night being Christmas Eve it was a bit chaotic. A lot of people waiting for takeout. Only a handful of people eating in. It wasn't great service for the people eating in. I can't fault the servers. I think they didn't account for the flurry of takeout orders they had to deal with. It kind of left us who were dining to be a bit overlooked. My family wasn't that frustrated because we were chilling. But there was a group behind us who threw a fit over the lack of attention and the wait. I thought their reaction was a little over the top and unnecessary and rude to top it off. They could've handled it differently given that the servers were obviously overwhelmed by no fault of their own. Anyhow I digress. It's just an example of the chaos that ensued during the service during that time. Not a bad experience despite slow service. I would return. I'm sure it would be great under more normal circumstances. read more

I love this place. It's my go to for salt and pepper wings and wonton soup. I go here at least once a week.

Whenever I have out of town guests and I invite them to lunch/dinner,this is the place I take them. The food is great and portions are generous, price is reasonable. My fav is salt & pepper pork chop (their most popular dish), walnut shrimp, pan fried noodles, fried rice, pepper steak, etc. My favorite Chinese restaurant in Sacramento! read more

Excellent food. Probably the best Chinese food in Natomas for your buck however they're prices have increased allot the past few years. . They make excellent pan fried noodles and noodle options in general. Lunch platters are hearty. Only problem is there is limited seating. read more

I've been getting food here for a while but finally writing a review. I usually get the sweet corn chicken soup with veggies it's really good. Today I got the lunch special chicken chow mein and kung pao chicken I asked him to make it spicy. It was really good. The service is pretty fast I would say 10 minutes for take out order just call ahead. The ambience is cozy and small and intimate. read more

One of my favorite Chinese places! I've been here a couple of times, and each time they food has been on point. Recommended dishes: 1. Hand shredded chicken - it comes out as a mountain, and the flavor is amazing. I'm impressed by both the portion and taste. 2. Salt and pepper ribs - gently battered, deep fried just to the right amount of crispness, and good salt and pepper ratio. 3. Baked Chilean sea bass - great flavor, soft and juicy 4. Garlic pea sprouts - good quality vegetable I look forward to coming back! read more

Food is always tasty, hot and fresh! I've ordered over the phone and have dined in and the quality is consistent.

My usual Chinese restaurant had closed so I found this place on Yelp and thought I'd give it a try. I am not disappointed! I ordered WorWonTon soup. It was very delish. I too it to go and they separated the broth from the veggies/meat in a different container. I have much respect for that practice. I would definitely go again and try some other dishes next time. Enjoy! read more
