    Out for good Chinese...
    Carol B.

    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!

    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.

    Shanghai Crispy Noodles

    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!

    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.

    Lemon Chicken sauce

    I ordered a lunch combo and it wasn't that great. The vegetable chow mien tastes a little fishy to me and pretty mushy, the lemon chicken was decent, not really much flavor but dipping it in the lemon sauce made it better. They wrote something on the Lemon sauce container, which I'm assuming says "Hot" even though it wasn't when it arrived but I read something completely different

    The cucumber salad at this place has been on my mind for the last 4 days. In a desperate attempt to…read morerecreate it, I used too much garlic and made a giant mess in my kitchen. So I'm planning my next trip here this week so I can enjoy the amazing cucumber salad (so fresh, crunchy and garlicky), their pepper beef clay pot (sizzling rice at the bottom for the win and big portions), their spicy tofu (umm what?!? So crispy) and their awesome skewers (the pork belly is my favorite). The space is small, so if you're planning on dining in during peak times, you may want a back up or take it to go as they only have a handful of tables inside and a few tables outside. There is parking but it is shared with other business so can get busy. The service is wonderful! The hostess/waitress was very friendly and everything came out relatively quick. The clay pot does take some time (they need to cook up the rice to get that awesome crunchy bottom) so place your order for that first, and then look at the appetizers and skewers as they come out fast. This was my first trip but will not be my last to Da Fei Ge!

    I came here before on a weekday and it was mostly empty. The food was good and even though you…read morecould tell it was a mostly chinese-speaking restaurant, it wasnt too difficult to order. It was nice enough that I tried to come here on a weekend night and it was packed full of families which is great but probably where I should have thought about it more. We went up to the counter and were told to wait a few minutes. I saw that a large table was clearing up so I didn't mind waiting. During this time a group came up behind us and I thought they were after us. One of the server waved in our general direction after cleaning up and splitting the table, so I thought they were gesturing to us since it has already been 10 minutes of waiting. Wrong, it was to the group behind us. Maybe it was communicated in mandarin that they had a reservation, I'm not sure. I waited for the next empty table, which was also taken by yet another group that magically appeared behind us as if they knew they were in line. I decided to leave after this. My issue is that I looked and talked to the staff multiple times and at no point, did they indicate there was a waitlist, nor did they take my name, or anything about people in front of us. It was really frustrating because being told it would be a few minutes set the wrong expectation. This is not the only place to get skewers so if you're left confused where you are in line, just come another weekday, speak mandarin, or go somewhere else like I did

The rice wrapper was thin and the shrimp was meaty and fresh and had a good bite. The beef balls and shui mai were disappointing. The textures were too soft and didn't have much flavor.

We ordered a ton of dishes, probably more than two people really needed it, but we wanted to make sure we got to taste some of our favorites. Overall, the dim sum is OK. My husband and I lived in the Bay Area for a while before moving to Davis for school, so our standards are pretty high. Unfortunately this is not going to be my new go to. Although the flavors of the food were pretty OK, we found everything to be really soft. Our shrimp and chive dumplings were literally disintegrating and my chicken feet were too soft. The sticky rice, however, and the tripe were delicious sui mai, and ha gao were pretty good, with the sui mai being pretty juicy. We paid $100 for 10 dishes! I know prices have gone up everywhere but this felt pretty steep. Overall, I don't think we'd come back. I would rather go to South Sacramento and eat dim sum there and then get my Asian grocery shopping done. Restaurant itself looked like a standard Chinese dim sum restaurant. Nothing to write home about.

Despite there being endless selections in Sacramento sometimes the American Chinese options are .... bleh ... They are either too oily. Mediocre taste. Overpriced. It's hard to find one that really stands out. Recently my coworkers and I all pitched in on takeout from here for Lunar New Year and ordered five dishes as takeout. One of my coworkers was the one who recommended this spot. Let me just say the food was incredible. The seafood chow mein was the standout dish out of everything. Loaded with octopus tentacles, scallops, shrimp. Feel like half the time you get seafood options these days they skimp out but this place did not disappoint. The fried rice was a little more unique than I've personally tried before with pieces of beef and cabbage. But still very tasty. And the pork dishes we got including the sweet and sour were just incredible. One thing I do want to mention was some pieces of the pork did have a bone attached, but I honestly didn't mind it much. The flavor made it up for it. Also inside of this place looks very modern, clean. Since we only got takeout I can't say for certain service for sit down but ordering and getting our food was simple. The staff were very kind and friendly. Again, THANK GOD I finally have a good Chinese food option. No more oily salty food or Panda Express.

The bad - the salt and pepper fish had a great batter, but I feel they're battered too much, and the actual fish piece inside is tiny. My house chow mein didn't have a single shrimp in it. Lots of beef, which was good, but the char smell from the beef was the only thing you could taste on the noodles. It's almost like the chef cooked the noodles on whatever the beef was cooked on. The noodles we had ordered from here a month ago had very good flavor, but not a one note beef flavor. There was a lot of beef and chicken in the house chow mein, but zero shrimp means the cook either forgot or they didn't have them and thought it would be ok to add more beef. Either way, I paid extra for my selection, and didn't get it. Am I Pissy? Yes. Am I honest? Also a Yes. 3 stars this trip, probably my last.
