I have been wanting to try this place for a long time but for some reason I kept missing the opportunity and forgot about the place. Well, I'm really glad I met my friend for lunch here today. It was delicious! The space is small inside with wooden picnic style table and benches giving this place a hole in the wall feel. We were given two menus and an ordering sheet to check off the items we want. I love self-ordering like this because I can take my time. I hate feel rushing and end up ordering too much food! Thanks to other fellow Yelper's reviews. I knew I wanted to try the Clay Pot Rice. We got the Medium Ribs with Black Bean Sauce. It's enough for 2 or 3 people to share. Scooping out the burned and crunchy rice on the bottom of the pot was the best part. So satisfying when you get a spoonful of the really crunchy part. I wish there were more meat/ribs but I remember you can add additional items for few extra bucks. I'll keep that in mind the next time. Yes, I plan to bring my boys here soon. We order 7 different barbeque skewers and they were all delicious and flavorful. You can tell the meat has been well marinated. You can select spicy or non-spicy. Each order comes in two pieces. It was the perfect amount of food for two of us. I recommend and will likely order again are Chicken Gizzards, Sausages, Beef an definitely Bacon Shrimp. If I had to pick only one, it would be the Bacon Shrimp. The bacon is securely wrapped around the shrimp and making the shrimp very juicy and flavorful. The waitress also pointed us to some self serve cold herbal tea that's mildly sweetened. It was surprisingly good. In traditional Chinese medicine, herbal teas are used to balance the body's internal environment and clear excess heat. It's very fitting to drink the herbal tea after eating all the barbeque meats! Happy to finally try this place and looking forward to trying more dishes next time.

Some of the best Northern Chinese food I've had, and probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in Sac overall. Starting with an appetizer, the lamb skewers taste stellar. Juicy and easily slides off the stick. They're relatively saltier than other restaurants but in a good way. Ask for extra cumin and thank me later. At 2 for $5, it's a no-brainer. The clay pot ribs with black bean sauce carries a strong savory aroma. It comes with some soy sauce on the side but it doesn't even need it. The crispy rice at the bottom tastes well-seasoned. Hard to go wrong with this dish if you're unsure what to order, and it can be shared with someone else. I recommend visiting with a group of 4 or less. This restaurant could potentially combine tables to accommodate larger crowds, but seating is limited to begin with.

Everything well-seasoned and delicious! Still on the pricy side but worth the food. One bathroom in the back, two highchairs available but we used the bench seating. Good service although mainly Chinese speaking owner/server.

I loveeee love this spot even after going just once. Everything was cooked to perfection!! My favorite skewers are the chicken skin and chicken gizzards as I love fun textures. The cucumber salad was extremely refreshing between the greasy skewers, I can definitely eat two plates of that just alone. The rice pot we got was super filling as well(medium size) and the crunchy rice was definitely the best part. Service was fairly fast too! The place is a little bit on the smaller but definitely cozier vibes. A great place to catch up with friends!! Would recommend 100%

Finally got around to trying this place out for a later lunch and every table was full, so we sat outside. Some tables opened up later and they let us move inside! The claypots are pretty good, a little too much rice to protein ratio. Surprisingly I liked the fish clay pot a lot more than the ribs. It was much more tender. But the flavor for both were perfect. The skewers here were also delicous!! Definitely worth a try. Overall a good lunch spot. Especially when you're craving that crispy rice layer from the clay pot!

Oysters were huge

Great food. There was a line at 9pm, but the wait was worth it. We shared a table which reduced our wait. They had clay pots dishes which we had to wait 20 minutes for. But definitely worth it.

Short ribs clay pot
Pammy C.

Wow! We were hungry on a week night and everyone closes so early. We stumbled upon this gem. So glad we did. The restaurant itself is very cozy. There's few seats outside. It's nothing fancy but the food is so good! We ordered the wings and short rib clay pot. So delicious and very flavorful. The menu items were more on the authentic side. So it was a bit difficult for us to choose. Can't wait to come back and try other items.

Squid, meat balls, fish balls, eggplant
Crystal H.

We dropped in Friday around 6pm. We had a group of 9. Pretty good Chinese bbq. We ordered a bunch of bbq to share. The squid had a sweet sauce, so next time I would ask for same seasoning as the other skewers. Beef skewer wasn't as tender. The best things were the grilled oysters, chicken skin, gizzard, gristle, shrimp, lamb, small fish, clay pots. It was a very hot day, but they only had one ceiling fan on. They said they couldn't turn on the fan because it doesn't work. So we were sweating. Parking lot shared with other people.

Grilled oysters
Jadyn L.

The place is pretty small, so get there early if you don't want to wait. It didn't get crowded for Sunday dinner. The food was tasty and the spicy eggplant have quite the kick. My favorite was the grilled oysters and squid skewers. The service was quick and you order using a paper menu and tallying what you want.

Peppered beef.

Be forewarned, seating sucks as the interior is very small & not the best for large groups. We opted to sit outside due to this (not a problem). The waiter came by with some cups of water and a water pitcher. After some time we changed our minds to have our orders to go. The waiter came back and gave our water and cups to the customer sitting in front of us which was very odd. Anyways the food. We ordered three servings of the clay pot meals and three drinks. The total was $60. Each tray came out looking like this. All rice, very minimal protein. The biggest scam ever. The food also lacked flavor. I'm never eating here again.

Beef Skewers
Corinne P.

I came in for an early dinner & this place was well worth it. It's small but with enough seating, and as time went on the restaurant got fairly busy. We ordered the clay pot first since it takes awhile to make. The barbecue skewers came out fast. 10/10 - Chicken skin, pork belly, beef skrewers: these all came out hot & fresh; I got all non-spicy so I dusted each with the spicy seasoning on the table; tip- ask for chili oil which elevates the flavors. 10/10 - Spicy Duck Jaw: these were full of flavors & very tender; the sauce was unique & addictive plus perfectly cooked. 9/10 - Oysters: these were juicy & succulent with so much delicious garlic. 8/10 - Eggplant Barbecue: ordered a couple of these & one was charred perfectly & the other one was pretty burned so couldn't eat all of it; tip-add soy sauce for extra flavor. 7/10 - Ribs with Black Bean Clay Pot: the rice ended to bring pretty dry & a lot of it got stuck at the bottom but couldn't really enjoy the crunchy pieces; flavors overall were lacking & need more sauce, even with the soy sauce, it was just okay.

Clay pot rice
Ryan W.

Hidden gem. Elite tip order the clay pot rice first as that takes time. Ambiance: modern, clean, inviting vibes Nothing crazy or stands out regarding decor but we're here to eat and enjoy the quality of food Service: friendly staff, drinks were refilled Food: 5/5 I was so pleasantly surprised. They have a great selection of bbq and clay pot rices. The bbq shrimp and fish all were well seasoned. Their spicy isn't terrible, just a little kick. Shrimp were tender and not overdone. Fish balls were great. Now the star of the show, clay pot rice. Cooked to perfection with crispy edges, meat was well seasoned, and generous portion - elite tip a large is enough for 2 people to share. I'll be back for sure!!!

Recently, I've been checking out the Freeport Blvd area for authentic Chinese food, and Da Fei Ge is high on my list of new favorite places to dine at. My husband and I just visited last weekend. It is a small establishment, with only 7 tables. We were seated immediately and handed the menu--one to browse, and one to mark our orders on. I had already scoured the various reviews for Da Fei Ge, so we knew what we wanted. We immediately put in our order for a clay pot rice, since it would take about 20 min to cook. We went with the special preserved meat clay pot rice, since we were going to order skewers, and for $9.99 that price was hard to beat. Each skewer order comes with 2 pieces of whatever protein you order, and is so reasonably priced. We were especially excited for the abalone, which came with a mouth-watering garlic chili sauce. We ordered a small variety of skewers, from quail eggs to pork belly to squid. All the skewers were so flavorful and there was extra chili powder if you wanted to add some more. You have the option to mark down if you want it spicy or non-spicy on the ordering sheet. We of course went with the spicy option. The meats were tender and the sauce on the squid was delightful. Da Fei Ge is quiet and cozy, and the majority of patrons are Chinese. The staff speaks Mandarin as well. I also love that you get free cold herbal tea. It's self-serve so you can drink as much as you'd like. It was very refreshing and paired perfectly with our meal. The clay pot rice was delicious! The crispy rice on the bottom was sooo crunchy and there was a good amount of meat. It came with a side of sauce that you pour on right after it's served to your table. You can let it sit or mix right away. We waited for about 15 seconds and then mixed ours. The meat was thinly-sliced, but the ratio of meat to rice was just fine. Honestly, it was the perfect amount of rice to share while having skewers on the side. I noticed a few other tables had ordered the larger size and that would have been too much to finish in one go. Quite honestly, I feel that clay pot rice should be enjoyed at the restaurant and not taken to go. As we enjoyed our meal, I also noticed the staff in the back chopping up various cuts of meat. Presumably this was for the clay pot rice and skewers. I really loved how everything was fresh and made to order here. Nothing beats an authentic experience like this, especially when it's hard to find good clay pot rice and skewers these days. I am super happy I was able to find such a hole-in-the-wall and can't wait to return and try their other offerings soon!

Love the skewers: juicy, fresh, sauce just salty enough. Clay pot rice a must. Ingredients fresh, friendly service. Free herbal tea.

This place says it's halal. Is it?

Antonio M put a laughing emoji because he hasn't heard of Qingzheng or Xinjiang region cuisine. Your question is legitimate and I would be curious as well.

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.

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.

The place I was going to go for lunch was closed, so my GPS brought me here. I was extremely happy…read morethat it did. A very nice restaurant. The people were very friendly and the place was very clean. They have a decent size menu.. I was here for the congee, but looking at the menu, I saw the rice paper rolls. They have gotten good reviews, so I decided to try the. Chinese donut rice paper rolls. I love the savory Chinese donuts. The donuts were wonderfully savory and crispy, and the silky rice paper played against the donuts, absolutely perfectly. I'm not sure what the sauce was that was on top of it, but I loved it. It was a perfect match to the rolls. I was only gonna have one and take one home, but they were so good, I ended up polishing off both of them. For my congee, I decided to try the grass carp congee. Carp are bottom feeders so they can definitely have a muddy flavor. However, grass carp, as their name implies, swim among the grasses. It is a firm, mild tasting fish. The congee was perfect, not too thick, not too thin, and I could definitely taste the ginger and the scallions. They played along perfectly with the mild flavor of the carp. Because I had polished off both of those rice paper rolls, I made it through about half of the congee, the rest coming home with me. For congee and other Chinese dishes, I now have another place that's in my rotation. I will be back. Thank you.

Came here on a Sunday. It was just before 6 PM. It wasn't too crowded and got a table right away…read more Soon after we ordered and tons of people came in just after 6. The place got pretty full so I was glad to get there early. We ordered the Preserved egg pork Congee. It's the thing we get all the time now. They make it really well and my wife and I like it. She loves the egg but I let her eat that. I am not so much into that 100 year old egg. We always get the Shrimp wanton and love that too. This is our go to place lately for these two dishes. They do a good job and we are in and out in less than 45 minutes. The place is cute with little toy collectables throughout the store. The staff are nice and we come here like 2x a month or more. Worth a try I think you will like the food here.

This restaurant is a to-go only restaurant, and gets plenty of traffic from the area. I went midday (3:00pm) and there were at least 4 customers in and out during the time I was there. While I was checking their menu, I decided to order, since I remember how good their chicken wings are. I ordered the chicken wings, and a lunch combo with chicken with black bean sauce. The combo comes with chow mein and fried rice and an egg roll for $13.99 but I asked for steam rice instead of fried rice. Unfortunately, I didn't check my plate before leaving the restaurant because they gave me all steam rice and no chow mein. Despite the error, their chicken wings are still the best, and the chicken with black bean sauce was very good. I would've like to have tried the chow mein. Also, I didn't notice that they charged $16.99 for the plate, which was a little steep considering I got no chow mein. Some of the condiments are extra, like the hot mustard, so ask for it before they ring up your bill. I'm sure I'll be going back for the chicken wings because it's made fresh and it's really good.
