    Orange Chicken Lunch combo
    Alexandre D.

    This is my go to for Chinese food. It's cheap and delicious and down the street. Came in for lunch right when they opened. We were seated right away as well as had our drinks order ready. We already knew what we wanted so we also ordered our meal. Food came out hot and quick. We got the orange chicken lunch combo as well as the Mongolian beef one. Both come with hot and sour soup as well as a cream cheese wonton. Orange chicken was and always is delicious! It came with a lot of meat and sauce. The Mongolian beef was delicious well. Perfectly cooked. Overall it's always a 10/10 whenever I slide. Food and staff are always on point

    3.5 stars rounded up to 4. Food was meh. Amongst my least favorite Chinese food. Although, the wonton in the wonton soup had pretty good flavor and I would consider coming back just for that. Most of the food lacked flavor overall. Service was great! Friendly and quick. They also gave my kids little pop it keychains, which really made their day. My experience would've been fine if I didn't use the bathroom. The door to the restrooms opens to a hallway that has a men's & women's restroom, a door that leads outside and opens to the kitchen. When I went to the bathroom, the door leading outside was open with someone smoking right next to it. The smoke smell filled the hallway and suffocated me in the bathroom, so I'm sure it went into the kitchen. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants their food contaminated by cigarette smoke. So, I would just ask that workers stand further away from the doorway when smoking (I'm pretty sure it's law that you're not supposed to smoke within 20 ft of a doorway anyways).

    Out for good Chinese...

    Went with friends and had a really lovely, reasonably priced, and politely served Chinese dinner. I will return.

    Food: 3/5 - generous portions, but lacked flavor amd texture. Was kind of mushy by the time we got home and the chicken was stuck all together for take out. Service: 4/5 - picked up carry out. Was quick and easy. Ambiance: 4/5 - nice spot. Came Saturday at 5p. Several tables had patrons, felt clean and quaint. No issues!

    What a great place for good food and awesome staff. All the food was delicious and fast. I think we have found our new spot!!

    Love that this restaurant has been opened for 14 years. It's a hidden gem in the fair oaks blvd area near the loehmans Plaza. . I had their dinner combo which comes with chow mein and fried rice and entree kung pao chicken for under 15 bucks and even comes with soup too. . I had their mushu pork which was amazing and I haven't had that for in so long. It was the perfect bite that I didn't know I was craving. . Loved their hong kong style chow mein which is pretty like a bird nest and mixed in with all combo meats on top. . Even had their sizzling beef platter but it wasn't sizzling which I was a bit dissapointed. It had great flavor tho. . Their sizzling rice soup is great, if you are looking for a good soup with some sizzle this is a must order. . They have great pot stickers which is one of their best sellers. Filled with pork and veggies and pan fry. Loved to dip it in their Potsticker sauce and hot muster too. . Overall I love coming here for chinese food. Can't wait to come with friends for chinese new year. They also have another location in elk grove too. Hope this review helps. Thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day.

    L4. Mongolian Beef Lunch Special
    john h.

    I finally found a traditional Chinese restaurant which reminds me of the former Kim Hei restaurant that used to be on La Riviera drive. I have been driving by this place for as long as it has been open. I ordered the Mongolian Beef lunch special with chow mein. First came a bowl of soup then the main dish. The noodles were good and the Mongolian beef was spot on. The price is reasonable. The restaurant was very clean with plenty of seating, The service was excellent. I shall return.

    My wife had a craving for crispy noodles. We were already in downtown Sacramento when we Yelp'd locations. Chef Bo popped up. We visited the location and were immediately seated. The staff were super friendly and took our order right away. I can't believe how quickly they served us. The food was prepared well. They are very efficient. The place was clean, spacious, and food was delicious. The portion size was good and we had leftovers. We truly appreciate that they even packed our leftovers for us. We don't live in the area but would pop in again when we get an opportunity. Thank you so much!

    S1. Wonton Soup
    Jeremy G.

    One of the best band for your buck location. Lunch combo and dinner combos go along. Legit you could feed three to four ppl with the dinner combos for two. Service is fast and friendly. The food is made to order, which means it'll come out hot!!! If you don't want to drive to south sac or anywhere else for Chinese food, then this is the place for you. Stop in if you haven't!

    L11. Szechuan Pork Lunch Special
    David B.

    When you go to a Chinese restaurant, you are hoping to find one of two things, value and quality. And when you find both, you keep going back. This fine establishment boasts five star service, perhaps the best fried rice in Sacramento, and all at a very reasonable price. Their lunch menu is perfect and comes with some of the best hot and sour soup I've ever had. When it walk in, you are transported to the mom and pop Chinese joint that you were hoping for. From the traditional wallpaper to the zodiac placemat, this place will transport you and fill your stomach without draining your wallet. It's all heart and great food.

    I was excited to try this spot as it states it was established in 1939 with some great history…read more Personally for me the interior seemed a bit out dated with low lighting. However, our server was incredibly well informative and friendly. We ordered and enjoyed our meal. Food comes out family style and we were incredibly full. My only criticism was that the orange chicken seemed to have no crunch. We had vegetarian tofu and mushroom dish that had a great flavor profile. I especially loved the fried rice as it tasted similar to the cooking profile of a Benihana style fried rice.

    In honor of dear dad, we decided to check out a famous spot located next to the Sacramento state…read morecapitol called Franks Fats. Circa 1939 and stamped on the cement at the front door. This is a famous Chinese food spot for local politicians for lunch and NBA stars and now the Oakland A baseball team. There is no back door or underground tunnel entrance or exit. Our server Yee was super nice and he liked us so much that he gave us a free slice of their famous banana pie. This pie is made fresh everyday. The pastry chef has 2 sous chefs to help. Their orders can be up to 300 pies a day! This very flaky thin crust with the beautiful layered at an angle with a fresh whipped cream topping. We wanted to try it but didn't want to get super full. We ended up finishing the complimentary piece of pie. We also had the wok fried pork spareribs that had this lovely seasoned jalapeño with that crispy bite but be careful of the bones. It reminded us of chicken wings. That crunchy crispy outside with perfectly cooked meat on the inside. The tip was to use the hot mustard and ketchup to dip it in. They give you a plate of various sauces from mild to super spicy. The sweet and sour soup is also made fresh every day with chunky vegetables with lots of flavors. We had the shrimp dumplings which were freshly made. The crab rancons were our favorite with chili sauce. These beautifully star shaped treasures were our favorites. We were super full. Parking was available due to no games going on. The street has parking but next door there is a valet lot for 12 dollars. If you're ever in the area, this is a must try experience. The place was packed but they let us stay and close the place down! Hence, this is why they've been open since 1939. Mahalo Timothy O'Connor for the recommendation! Loved the Buddha belly by the bar area up top.

    Absolutely delicious Chinese food! One of the best in the US. I'm also biased because I order off…read moremenu items. We usually call in 1 week in advance and order the coral shrimp and salt and pepper lobster. Their gourd melon clam soup is sooooo good. So is the double golden fried rice. These are our absolute must orders. We have enjoyed everything so far but the must order items are just delightful. They're very good about swapping out fresh plates. The servers are all very very very nice and attentive. The outside is unassuming but the inside is very nice and clean. Even the bathrooms are very clean. They play Chinese pop so I get to listen to good music too. They only have beer but you can byob and they'll provide the glassware too. I can't wait to be back again!

On my latest visit it was a very busy Sunday, but I was able to place an order for take-out and then wait in my car for the order to be ready. I ended up ordering the pork steamed rice noodle roll, the beef and cilantro steamed rice noodle roll, the garlic long beans, and the beef and mixed mushrooms. I saw a couple of other Elites dining in when I was ordering, but it was so busy I couldn't properly say hi, so "HI DAVID AND EVA!" I'll have to keep an eye out for their next review, because whatever they had looked delish! I waited in the car for a bit and then when the order still needed a few more minutes I popped into the dollar store next door to kill a bit more time. Before I knew it my order was ready to go. They packed everything really nicely and we served it up as soon as we got home. Their rice noodle rolls are so flavorful and I love the sweet, salty and savory sauce that comes with it. The noodles are really filling, and the dishes we got would be enough food for 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are. We ate the rice rolls right away and then had leftover green beans and beef and mushrooms for lunch today. The green beans were fresh and had a great garlic flavor, without it being too much. The Beef and Mushrooms was great, the beef was tender and flavorful and the mushrooms soaked up all the sauce. There were also green beans in this dish, which was a perfect addition. I really need to dine in soon for the full experience, but take-out has always been a win for me.

For starters, parking is very limited, as it is a strip mall. There is some street parking. By the time we ordered, it was getting increasingly busy. We had only 4 people in our party, so they didn't initially provide us with the menu for larger family set meals, so we had to ask for it. We went for set A which serves 4-6 people. This set included the following: Soup of the day: Simple vegetable soup with some pork/beef in it. Peking spare ribs: Deep fried spare ribs with a sweet sort of sauce. This was a bit saucier than my liking. Not my favorite dish. Empress chicken (half): This was done very well, cooked perfectly. Came with ginger scallion oil. Pan fried sole: Classic, freshly deep fried, with a soy sauce based sauce. Mixed mushroom beef: Beef was tender, dish was seasoned well. Had a good balance of protein and vegetables. Seasonal vegetables and garlic: Simple, but delicious and a generous amount of vegetables. We also ordered mushroom with salted egg yolk from the Chef's Specials menu and it was delicious! This dish was very generous in size. There were pieces of fried beech (or seafood) mushroom in salted egg yolk batter. Seemed like there was at least two grocery store containers worth of mushrooms, if you've ever seen them in the Asian grocery store. This was almost like a snack, and went so well with white rice itself. They offered a complimentary dessert but it was very plain. It was straight up herbal/grass jelly with a sweet syrup. Service was standard for an Asian restaurant. The restaurant is pretty big compared to what you might see on the outside. The restaurant was acceptably clean. We sat by the window, and although it was covered, the sun was basically still shining on us, so it was really warm sitting there. Overall, I would highly recommend if you're looking for authentic Chinese food.
