11.17.25 - Got Mom some Chinese food as this was the closest to her home. We ordered five dishes: Hong Kong style chicken chow mein, pot stickers, orange chicken, pork fried rice and spareribs with black bean sauce. The food was decent, the orange chicken was really good and the spareribs with black bean sauce was tender, however very salty. I'm assuming because the black sauce. I called the restaurant just to inform them. I can't say I would eat in the restaurant. Everything looks pretty old and boxes around the restaurant. I've ordered food for my mom before and have never seen anyone in there, just lots of takeout on the counter. It's definitely reasonably priced. It was about 66.00 for five dishes. I wish I would've taken pictures. I forgot. read more

Exactly customer service! Very friendly and large portions of food for a great price!

We sat down and ate, Everything was good till we were packing our left overs. Sever set down bags and containers and a baby roach crawled across the table. We told the server and he was like ehh ok. No apologies, no refund, nothing. Will not be eating here again. read more

My new favorite Chinese restaurant in Sacramento. The price is unbeatable and it tastes great. My family ordered the Egg flower soup, tomato beef hk chow mein, Mongolian beef, honey walnut prawns, salted fish fried rice and cheese won tons. Everything came out to $101 while having tons of leftovers for 7 people. I've past by this restaurant for years on the way to my house. The neighborhood used to be sketchy with addicts in the parking lot, which caused me to keep driving past it. Being from the San Francisco I was used to Chinese food tasting a certain way. Most of the places in Sacramento/Elk Grove fell short in the taste category. The only knock I could imagine someone making is the ambiance and appearance. It looks like they haven't redecorated the place in about 20 years but other than that who cares because the food is great and the price is right. read more

Affordable price with delicious food. Lunch menu value is especially great. Service was wonderful. Typical ambiance of local Chinese restaurant. read more

Very nice people . Fast service. There isn't much ambience, but it's clean. Food it good. I've had a couple items . All good. It's hard to rave over normal Chinese food. So it's good but I'd love to find something different in Asian cuisine. But if you are in the area. Eat here , it's worth it read more

This is my go to Chinese restaurant. The family is always nice and pleasant. I typically always order the same thing; shrimp in white lobster sauce. They are very consistent with their preparation. They are quick and convenient. read more

China Ocean Restaurant - Shrimp with Lobster Sauce- white sauce. - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

One of my favorite delivery Chinese restaurants. The food is good and prices are not outrageous and they even let you pick the items in the family special. They also deliver quickly. Just have to call before 7:30 (maybe 7). I moved and still order delivery from here. Mongolian beef is my favorite. read more

I didn't feel like cooking, and since I was in the area... I decided to pick up some of my favorite Chinese food. I always get it to go. The place isn't much to look at in the inside, but it does have some of the best Chinese food I've had. Their Mongolian Chicken is really good!!! So many Chinese restaurants cannot make good Mongolian Chicken! Most can only make good Mongolian beef. Their Ginger Chicken is really good and super flavorful! I keep coming back and will again! Oh, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are huge!!! read more

It was not good at all and I've had my share of okay to great Chinese food. I would choose Panda Express over this place any day and regret I didn't go there instead. I saw the menu and thought $8.75 for the lunch combo was a good deal that I ordered two combos to share. I placed an order yesterday and got General Chicken, Chicken Chow Mein, Sweet and Sour Chicken and Curry Beef. For the chicken dishes, they were ALL huge chunks and 80-90% breading. It was gross and way too much MSG. I took a few bites and felt disgusted afterwards and felt like I might throw up. The chow mein had no flavor and the chicken pieces in the noodles weren't seasoned either, I immediately spit out the chicken as it tasted like cooked up rotten chicken. My coworker ordered the curry beef and wasn't able to finish either. I did wanted to try the curry beef at first but had already lost my appetite at this point. I don't recommend this place and will not be returning. 0 stars read more

Came across this Chinese restaurant by accident while waiting for my car to be repaired. As Chinese food is my favorite cuisine, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality, taste and portions given! I ordered my favorite- sesame chicken and chicken fried rice without egg! The waiter took care of my special order without any hassle! This restaurant is a diamond in the rough with excellent food, service! While their prices are very affordable! My lunch special was only $8.25! Come check them out! You will love their food, service and clean environment! Galen read more

Really wanted to like it but definitely not for us. Place was empty like they were going out of business but we had placed an order on the phone so there wasn't really any going back. Lemon chicken overcooked, wonton soup spilled in our bag and made a huge mess. I could list other issues but I won't. Unfortunately still on the look for a go-to Chinese restaurant for our Friday nights. read more

Got 3 lunch combo on 11/27/24. 2 Mongolian beef, chicken fried rice , chicken chow mien and a mushroom chicken with the same side. My coworker who ate the mushroom chicken combo felt violently ill after 30 minutes of eating it. Throw up multiple times and was very weak for a day and half. Called the restaurant and advised them of the situation and they seem to not really be concerned about their customers health. Probably will look for other Chinese restaurants to spend our money on. read more

We got delivery. The food was very good! I especially love their vegetables, not too over cooked.

This restaurant has been here for decades. I haven't eaten here in quite some time. So I put in a phone order and when I went to pick it up was very skeptical as the restaurant was completely empty, except for several people waiting for their takeout orders. The kitchen sounded very busy so a good sign. The food was good, typical Chinese American. Sweet and sour pork was a different flavor and was lean without chunks of fat, highly recommend the salt and pepper chicken wings they were crispy and salty covered in fresh jalapeño and cilantro. Overall a take out experience. read more

China ocean is delicious. Never had any issues Jenn going there for years. They do their own deliveries so food is hot when you get it

Truly sad to post this, but I did not have even an okay experience. The whole event was awkward, not clean, and not tasty. Please please please clean up, be more professional, and simply take it up at least three notches. Kung Pao Chicken, soup, and hot tea were all bland, squishy and questionably fresh. The front door window should have been a sign to turnaround and not even try it. It was if 3 people spat on the windows and just rubbed it around like paste. I am not overstating this. My mistake. read more

Small business deserves our support. Great food. They lady remembers my order even knows what I want when I call.

Service: B Food:C Ambience: C- This place is ok just a survivor food, the staff are friendly, but food is just ok I had the sweet and sour pork/ veggie chow mein, nothing extraordinary just food to kill your hunger read more

I've been here before a few years ago and was not too impressed but ordered the combination plate on the way home from a buddies house. The first thing I noticed was the price, which was very reasonable. The second awesome thing was that soup was included on to go orders, which almost never happens. It was a small cup but loaded with meaty won ton's. The meal came with deep fried prawns which were great and paper wrapped chicken, also great and not the norm for area combo plates. The fried rice was good and the pork chow mein was large and had a pleasant bbq flavor to it. The sweet and sour pork was odd in that it was not in the sauce and you had to dip it, it wasn't the best pork either. Either way, this was a pleasant surprise, and I will be back, but for take out only. As far as ambiance, I was not impressed and wouldn't eat inside. The empty, large fish tank and poor flooring and atmosphere were not good. read more

This is not a very glamorous location, and I found the outdated and rundown interior to be a bit offputting when I entered, but as I have said before, I don't really care about decor so long as the service is good and the food is delicious. They did well in both these categories. Service was prompt and pleasant, the portions were generous and at very reasonable price. I ate some rice with vegetables with their sweet & sour sauce and was pleased that their sauce had some bite to it and wasn't just sweet and flavorless as happens in some places. I brought home food for Roger and he pronounced it delicious. It's not often I get out this way, if it were closer to home I'd be pleased to come here as a regular. read more

Truly 0/5. I've had my fair share of mediocre American Chinese food growing up, but this is unacceptable. I ordered the lunch special Curry Beef for takeout. Instead, I received Curry Chicken. I'm not entirely mad about receiving chicken instead of beef. What I'm mad about is the undercooked chicken! It had an undeniable tinge of pink. Also, that curry sauce is so bland. How is that even possible with curry sauce!? Water taste better than that! Oh, and service. The older lady (guessing manager?) has a bad attitude. She rudely asked where the younger guy employee went after he took my order. Although he got my order wrong, he seemed to be the only one working. The best part was when the older lady's friends came into the restaurant. One of her friends looked at me funny as if I shouldn't be here or something. I thought I was overthinking, but nope. When the older lady went to chitchat with her friends, that one friend wasn't comfortable with me there. I pretended as if I was minding my own business and didn't understand what they were saying. I'm just sitting there waiting for my takeout. What's the problem!? Let her know that she doesn't have to worry about it, because I'm never coming back. read more

Staff was so friendly and food was delicious. They gave such a generous amount of food especially for the price.

Very convenient, good food, really like that they're almost always open. Friendly service. Really like their Wor Wonton soup.

Great fried chicken rice and sweet and sour chicken. Good people. Not great for dine in.

They have been around for quite a while, I recall my father and I picking up Chinese at this literal location (not sure if it was the same owners/name then) in the late 90's. My father would stop on our way home from day care in East Sac to Elk Grove... so when I personally moved to the area as an adult, it was pretty cool stopping here on my way home. I love their Egg Foo Young and their Hong Kong Style Pan Fried Noodles; I always get house it's delicious. Best won tons for wonton soup, their broth isn't the most flavorful but the little shrimp hidden inside the middle of each wonton makes it worth it. read more

I've driven past this place for years and finally remembered to try it! It is so good! No wonder they've been open for so long! I've been missing out! We've ordered take out twice and most of the dishes were delicious! We will definitely be ordering on a regular basis! I introduced this place to my mom and she's a huge fan too and even ordered it for dinner a few days later. China Ocean, you've got new regular customers! Salt & pepper spareribs - Crunchy & delicious! Beef & lettuce fried rice - My 5yo son's favorite! We love the slight crunch the lettuce gives. Honey walnut shrimp - very yummy! Nice crunchy exterior and the sauce is very good! It's not super sweet or Mayo-y which I really like. Fried Tofu stuffed w shrimp - comes with a soy sauce like sauce and it is yummy! Prob one of my favorite dishes Beef & broccoli- I'm not a huge fan of beef & broccoli, but my mom wanted it so we got it and it was okay. Honey garlic spareribs - so good! Not overly sauce-y and not dry. I really liked it! read more

This spot is the worst. I ate here for lunch and been feeling like shit ever since. Got home from work and felt like i was gonna throw up. Get home and go to sleep and wake up with a my stomach spinning. I got out side to get some air and threw up the chowMain. I felt like it wasn't cooked properly. And the noddles were hard. This is the only thing I ate all day. And felt sick like a hour after eating. Stay away guys. Go to Heng Fat on gerber next to mountain mike. Only reason why I went here is cause Heng fat was closed and I thought I'd give it a try. Hard pass. I should of listed to my coworkers on this one. They said it was bland and the chicken they got was sour. read more

According to Yelp, 2 stars = "Meh. I've experienced better." The sad part is, that statement is true -- but by better I mean at the very SAME restaurant in the past. I've lived in the Sacramento area for more than a decade and remember frequenting this restaurant a lot, and my family even knew the owner at the time, Steve, and his wife. The food was good whether lunch specials during a weekday or dinners (dine-in or takeout). General Chicken, Garlic Chicken, you name it. Not sure when it changed up but I have been a few times recently and have been thoroughly unimpressed. Ordered the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce with Fried Rice (and tasted some of the chow mein that came with the other dish). Veggies...I was not expecting the peas and [cubed] carrot mix. Chowmein was greasy, eggroll didn't come with the hot mustard sauce. Soup was so-so. Sorry, China Ocean. Maybe update the decor too. Not sure if you'll get my business back anytime soon. read more
