I would give 10 stars or more just for the service alone. Luis, our server, was absolutely phenomenal. It was our first time here and we wanted to try it out for my father's birthday, who loves Chinese food.I appreciated that they had lots of variety as well as the basic dishes. We didn't know where to start so we asked Luis, who was kind enough to run thru their best selling dishes. He passed by again and showed us what the dishes looked like too. He was super attentive and personable. He was very kind and made us feel super welcome and taken care of. The food was fantastic. We tried the - Mongolian bbq ribs - spring rolls - crab Rangoon - honey walnut shrimp - salt and pepper calamari - pork fried rice - Mongolian beef - Orange chicken - chow mein - green beans Everything was delicious. 10/10. Highly recommend the honey walnut shrimp and salt and pepper calamari. For our leftovers, we even had another server who kindly packed our food. Idk when we last had that happen at a restaurant. It was so nice! The interior decoration and ambiance was very cozy and elegant at the same time. We also tried the banana cream and chocolate cream - and these were so yummy! When we were walking out of the restaurant, several team members thanked us for coming. It made us feel very special. Thank you Frank Fat's team (including Luis) for making our dining experience here one-of-a-kind!! We'll be back for sure. We hope you continue to be very successful! Everyone go support them. read more

The walnut prawn lunch special at Frank's Fats was so good I briefly considered ordering a second plate "for the table." There was no table. Just me, living my best crispy-shrimp life in Sacramento. Crispy, perfectly sauced, and dangerously easy to finish in five minutes. Old-school Sacramento charm with food that still knows how to show off. read more

Very good but not very authentic chinese cuisine. Fried rice has proper wok hei flavor. Mongolian beef was super tender. Honey walnut shrimps were a bit small but very juicy. read more

Came in for the happy hour menu plus!!! Dillon was the server at the bar... Ordered the Saigon crispy chicken-little on the crisp side but tasty. the appetizer sampler- favorite was the pot stickers- from the regular menu and lettuce cups from the happy hour menu (I would suggest ordering all the appetizers from the happy hour menu) Also ordered the Asian pear, the red lotus and a Mai tai from the happy hour menu. All the drinks from the happy hour menu were well made. Of course had to have a slice of the famous banana pie-thin crust loaded with bananas and cream!! Our servers at the bar (Dillon and Billie (?)) were friendly and talkative. They gave great service. Restaurant was nice, clean and inviting. Been around Sacramento since the 60's and should have come here sooner. Hope to return someday soon!! read more

While honoring Asian Pacific Heritage Month, the California Museum and Frank Fat's restaurant presented A Taste of History of the famous family owned 87 year old Frank Fat's restaurant in downtown Sac. Jerry Fat (son) and Kevin Fat (grandson) spoke of how the restaurant came about, and its history, popularity with politicians and dignitaries, the food, the restaurant's expansion, and the family's invo. It was a fun afternoon with so many interesting facts, and we were treated to sample a few of their specialties, Yi Kwok-a beef and pork dumpling, and their foil wrapped chicken) and their famous Banana Cream Pie. The bites and banana cream shooter were delicious. The event was held upstairs in one of the private dining rooms, but we were also able to see the legendary dining room and bar with their historic photos displayed in the entry. read more

Phenomenal Chinese food in the Capitol City. High class yet still served with the portions of a mom and pops spot. It's always a nice treat when my lady and I plan a date night to Frank Fat's. Our latest visit was no different except we added a couple new to us items to our visit. The Yu Kwok appetizer was brought to our attention by the Taste Duo on Instagram. It's almost like an empanada yet shaped like a ball with a a crispy outside and filled with meat (beef and pork). We absolutely loved this. They also came with some delicious sauces. Will be a must have with each coming trip. Before our food came we got a couple adult drinks. Went with the Mai Tai cocktail and my lady went with the Bellini Martini with white peach.. She loved it so much she got another. It was light, tasty and very smooth. Of course we had to have their orange chicken (bomb!) and the honey walnut shrimp. Both dishes were crazy good. Finished a great meal with their world famous banana cream pie. I was stuffed! The bill was not cheap by any means but this type of dinner is necessary to keep a healthy relationship functioning :) read more

This joint is an institution in Sac. It's not a Chinese joint. It's not an American joint. It's simply, Frank Fats and they do it their way and have for many years. Everything is exceptionally good from the service to the banana cream pie (a legend in it's own right). I've been going since 1987. If anybody says, "Let's go the Frank Fats," I'm 100% going. Not a casual joint, so stay on point. Great place four couples, friends, and even family - but step up your game at dinner time, please. read more

The honey walnut prawns were so good! I have to say that these were different from other places that I've tried. The singapore curry was okay. Flavor was definitely there, but it wasn't as sauce heavy which I would've preferred given the name. The banana cream pie was free as part of their social media promo! I enjoyed the free part, but the slice itself was hard to cut the crust. This was place was definitely a chinese restaraunt surrounded in downtown. My server really checked up on us. I don't know if I'd go again for the food, but the vibe is nice. read more

We went during dine downtown to try Frank Fat's for the first time. We loved the ambiance of the early 2000s high-end Chinese vibe. Make sure to read the history of the Fat's and their treasures around the dining hall. All the food was fresh and delicious. Even the fried and sauced items held their satisfying crunch, which is rare. The walnut shrimp was especially standout! Perfectly crispy with that rich, creamy sauce. Seriously one of the best Chinese meals I've had! Between the chocolate and banana, banana pie was definitely delicious and rightfully famous. There was a small hiccup with service toward the end, but the staff handled it gracefully and professionally. That kind of recovery earns respect, and I'll absolutely be coming back. read more

Surprised to hear this place ever had a Michelin star. It was overpriced and mediocre at best. Went to a going away party here and had a reservation for 10 people. We were sat right in the front of the restaurant which felt a little unpleasant given our party size but we made it work. The server came over and was incredibly polite, and asked about our drink orders. To begin, I wanted a bottle of Albariño but unfortunately they were out. The other options were not of my preference but I tried a Napa Sav Blanc anyway. It was served in a thick glass and not to my standards so I passed it down the table. The other end of the table ordered two bottles of red. They seemed satisfied with their order. We ordered a few appetizers and many entrees but not one stood out as amazing. The best thing was the sliced jalapeños in the dishes. I expected the eggplant to be more tender and less soggy, the green beans to have more of a char and less saucy, the Singapore noodles to have meat that wasn't cooked to rubber, the orange chicken to have more crunch with the bite, the salt and pepper chicken to have higher quality meat, etc. The best thing at this restaurant was the dessert and I seriously give three starts for the quality of staff and their banana cream pie. It was delicious!!!! Had this been a stand alone dessert establishment, they would get 5 stars from me. It makes me wonder if they cook it in house or order from a supplier. Ultimately, it has potential and I wonder what the experience was during the Michelin days. read more

Came here with my family for the Sac Dine Downtown event and y'all - this place is everything I hoped for and more. We had a rezzy and showed up early but got sat right away. The entire staff was so friendly and helpful in explaining the Dine Downtown menu set up. Service was quick too. For drinks we ordered a Paloma, Asian Pear Martini, Lychee Martini and Berry Lemon Drop - all so delicious! For the apps, we got one potsticker and one roll. So good. Idk if they're frozen or not but they tasted so fresh and crispy. The entrees come out family style - which is different than most restaurants for this event. The servings were hugeee, which was totally fine because we all had a good sized leftover to take home. Their menu consisted of beef veggies, orange chicken (so crispy and good), honey walnut shrimp (bomb), fried cod (a new item but surprisingly fantastic), shrimp friend rice & for dessert - their famous banana crème pie. Now, I'm not a banana person at all but you guys - besttt dessert. It was so fresh. They said they make it daily. Banana was fresh. Homemade whip cream. 12/10. By the end of dinner we were absolutely stuffed but this by far was the best dine downtown experience I've had. Absolutely worth the price and the atmosphere and staff were incredible. Thank you, Frank Fats! (Also, valet parking for $12 is literally right next door so you don't have to worry about finding a spot in midtown). read more

Full disclosure: 5 star service, 4.3 star food. Ok, now that I made that clear, another disclosure: I tried this restaurant during the "Dine Downtown" event, so this review may be slightly skewed. Came in on a Friday evening w/reservation. The place is long, vs large, which will make sense if you go. Nice decor also. Food Items: Pot Stickers: 3.4/5 - Was fine. Not my favorite. Vegetable Spring Rolls: 3.7/5 - Was fine. Greasy (in a good way) Honey Walnut Prawns: 5/5 - Yes. No notes. Saigon Crispy Chicken: 4.8/5 - Pretty good. Fancy orange chicken. Fried Fish Fillet with Ginger Sauce: 4.6/5 - Was fine. Crispy, sauce was mild. Would like it tossed a little more. Cauliflower with Beef: 4.2/5 - Fresh and tender. Flavor was milder than I expected. Shrimp Fried Rice: 4/5 - Nice portion size. Decent sized shrimp. Banana Cream Pie: Contested - Friend enjoyed it. Fresh banana forward. A bit excessive on the whipped cream. - I understand the banana is the star, so I won't make noise about the crust (I prefer a good crust), and the filling (I prefer banana pudding and banana slices in a pie) - so...yea, try it if it's your thing. Bonus Section: Chocolate Creme Pie: 4.1/5 - remove the excess whipped cream, I would be here for it (or have it be a dollop of Chantilly - I know, it's French so I get it) Oolong Bourbon Cocktail: 4.2/5 - Unique. Mild. Fine. Forever grateful to our awesome server, Luis. He made this night pretty dope. Also, parking was interesting. The meter maids be lurkin', make sure that parking is topped off or a $75 ticket will be gifted. read more

Celebrated our cousins Birthday. We reserved the private room upstairs. It's very private & we had our very own servers which was nice. We sat at tables of 8 with a huge lazy Susan in the middle. We had around 10 courses that included 3 appetizers. I didn't get a photo of the appetizers. I don't member what everything was called but I did my best to identify them in the photo section. EVERYTHING was delicious! We ended with 2 of their famous Banana Cream pies which were amazing! Staff were great. We were able to bring in a cake our own also. read more

I've lived in Sacramento for quite some time but had never been to Frank Fat's until recently. Overall, the ambiance and service were good! However, given the price points, I was expecting more flavor. I ordered the dumplings, egg rolls, walnut shrimp, fried rice, banana cream pie, and a Mai Tai. I really enjoyed the walnut shrimp and egg rolls, but the rest of the dishes were pretty bland, even the Mai Tai tasted watered down. I hate to say it, but in terms of flavor, it's on par with Panda Express. read more

Visiting Sacramento and had the most absurd craving for a good Chinese restaurant. I took to Yelp and realized there was Frank Fat's within walking distance from my hotel. It came recommended by a friend and my bartender and the valet attendants at my hotel. It had to be good and we had to check it out. We arrived at the podium and the hostesses were able to get us into a quiet corner booth without a reservation. Heather was our server and service started off slow, but she recovered quite nicely after making it to us. Our busser was a stud and stayed on top of filling our waters and clearing our dishes. We started off with a paloma and a whiskey neat and their pork belly with bao as an appetizer, It was a special and so glad we didn't sleep on it. Their homeade chilli oil was an amazing accompaniment to my meal. I could have done without my paloma. It was more sugar than anything. I love my generals chicken so I ordered one and added their Singapore noodles because some curry sounded good and an order of kung pao chicken. The kung pao here had other chiles and that combination with the ginger took that dish to the next level for me. If I came back, I wouldn't reorder their General's chicken. It was more like a sweet and sour chicken. It's just not my cup of tea. I loved the art and having different dining rooms. I loved having a quiet corner. We stuffed our faces and had plenty of leftovers to take back to the hotel. New world co fortune cookies were a nice treat. We had banana cream pie to-go. It was amazing! I guiltlessly devoured every morsel. Sorry not sorry. Thanks Frank Fat's for a nice dinner. We hope you're still here next time we're in Sacramento. read more

An institution in Sacramento, and finally went to try this place out. Compared to other Chinese places, I was hoping for a bit more. The portions were smaller compared to other places, even with their family style claim. For the price they were charging, it seemed like it wasn't enough food. The service was really good though, consistently checking in and anticipating our needs. That was probably the highlight of the experience at this restaurant. It was very Americanized, but not a complete surprise given its longevity in the area. The menu reflected that, it felt like. Not that many options compared to some other restaurants, and there are a bumber of available options are more American Chinese. That may have been the first Chinese restaurant I've been to where the only language on the menu was English, but that's merely an amusing anecdote. We ordered a few items, and I was left hoping for more when it came to the taste. The garlic chili green beans were very plain. There weren't huge hits of either garlic or chili, when it comes to the taste. We got the prawns, which seemed to be a favorite among customers. They didn't have many walnuts or sauce. Compared to other renditions found at other establishments, it was definitely flavored down. We got orange chicken, and they weren't anything to go crazy for. I've had better at other places and for cheaper. The Hong Kong style noodles were interesting. While they are supposed to be crispy--and interestingly, the waiter made sure to ask if we wanted them the traditional crisp way, since apparently they offer it not crispy--they weren't. The crispy was difficult to explain. It was harder than a chow mein, but very soft and soggy compared to a normal HK noodle. It didn't have the crunch and crispiness you'd expect. The sauce was also not as good as I'd hope. It definitely felt it was watered down in taste. Given the clientele it made sense, but i wouldn't exactly come back clamoring or suggesting this place for people that want real good Chinese food. In Sac, there are numerous options that would serve that purpose better. read more

We came here on a Friday night and found the place on Yelp. We got seated right away upon arrival. The fried chicken was decent but the cod was very rubbery! I used a fork to cut thru and it did not work, then I used a knife and it finally cut thru. The fish was definitely overcooked and it was coated in a batter. The fish was so rubbery, my husband and I could not eat it. We told the Server that fish is not suppose to be like this. He took the fish back to the kitchen and came out and said they are "out" of fish, we ordered green beans instead and the dish came back decent. For dessert, we ordered the signature pie and it was on the house. Overall, this is an American Chinese restaurant, I would say like PF Changs. The chef needs to learn how to cook fish because the way it was cooked, it was like a meatloaf! read more

Just got back from celebrating a milestone birthday for my mother. We had a range of tastes to work with and this ended up at a sweet spot for our party. Our server was excellent. I believe her name was Emily. It wasn't perfect but she was so kind and gracious with our party. We had the appetizer platter to get started. Some very tasty chicken and spring rolls the curious pastry covered feel fried ground beef one fell flat. The potstickers were delicious. Very light with a good chew. More of a gyoza style. I had the immigrant beef which was delicious. The brandy fried chicken and honey walnut prawns were both stellar. The kung pao chicken was nice with a good kick. The orange chicken came out very late but still had good flavor. The cocktails were scrumptious! read more

Confession time. This is my first time dining at Frank Fats I know, I know, that's almost blasphemous. But here we are, 2026, admitting my faults. Anyway, Dine Downtown 2026 kicked off today (01.09.26), so what better way than to start at a Sacramento institution? Even though we had a 07:30 reservation, that sat us early. Off to a great start. Another great start? Those cocktails. My husband and I ordered the Frank's Manhattan and the Fat's Mai Tai. That was a really good Manhattan, as was the Mai Tai, but my god. Get the Manhattan. In addition to the Dine Downtown special, we added an order of my husband favorite, hot and sour soup. Probably one of the best hot and sour soup I've had in recent months (besides from my favorite place in EG). The Dine Downtown special forces you to order for two, and it comes with a decent amount of food. We might have been able to finish it all, but it was all very rich, oh so freaking delicious, very Chinese American (which is a cuisine category in its own damn right!). That Saigon chicken and honey walnut shrimp were the absolute shining stars. And that cauliflower beef made me actually like cauliflower. Dare I say, a revelation? Our server Johnny was friendly and attentive, even offering to box up our dessert when he saw my eyes bulge out. We opted to have one slice there take the other home. I mean. What else can I say that hasn't already been said? Seriously. It's an institution for a reason! read more

I came here for dinner on a Thursday at 6 PM. With a colleague. It was empty -ish but by the time we left at 8pm it was packed. I got the sampler appetizer with egg rolls, dumplings, yu kwok their specialty and chicken. My least favorite was yu kwok. The dumplings and salt and pepper chicken were good and the eggrolls were OK. The banana pie was really good. My colleague got the half peking duck buns and he said it was OK. I know this place is very popular but I wouldn't say it's the best Chinese food I've had. read more

Ordered through DoorDash for our wedding anniversary- food was delicious We ordered: Brandy fried chicken - I am pregnant and the chicken made me a little food averse so I don't try these but my husband said they had an interesting flavor to them and probably wouldn't order them again. Combination fried rice - this I would eat as just an entree all on its own it was delicious and addicting! Tons of flavor, not too salty, great combination of Chinese sausage and shrimp and had a smokiness to it from the wok possibly? Honey walnut shrimp - smaller sized shrimp but they give you a hefty family style portion . The shrimp had a crispy coating, the walnuts were cooked perfectly soft. Did not pack utensils unfortunately in the to go bag but we made it work haha. read more

Looking for a great Chinese , this is it. The cocktails were ok, but the food was so impressive. The immigrants beef was a favorite. The server recommended rare and it didn't disappoint. We also had their amazing pork fried rice , I'd do that over and over. We also had the king pao, and chili beef chao fun as well... all our choices were perfect and there was other dishes we will come back for... this place is beautiful (lots of art) and service was great too. We sat at the bar to avoid a wait , and honestly would probably prefer that next time as well. Service was fast and friendly. read more

My friend and I stopped by around 3 PM on a weekday for a late lunch. My friend had seen lots of recommendations online for the restaurant which is why we decided to stop by but the food was just...ok. When we stopped first stopped by, we waited a bit at the front before the hostess came up and let us know that since it was Happy Hour at that time, we were only allowed to sit at the bar. We sat down and our bartender started to assist us with ordering. He was so friendly and helpful. We ordered a lot of items of try: -LETTUCE CUPS: Flavor was ok but was just way too salty. Additionally, there was no fried vermicelli noodles or anything in it which just made it feel like it was missing texture. On the side, they only had 4 small, trimmed pieces of lettuce served with the mixture so it just felt a bit like they were skimping with the lettuce. -CHICKEN CLAY POT: Was pretty hefty on the chicken portion but, again, flavor was overpowering and overly salty. -FAT'S BRANDY FRIED CHICKEN: The chicken was very well fried and came pimping hot straight out of the fryer to us. It just unfortunately was oversalted like the other dishes. -BANANA CREAM PIE: I saw online that there was so much praise for the pie but once we bit into it, it just felt anticlimatic. The banana was a bit underripe so it had a sharp aftertaste and was not very sweet. There also seemed to be vanilla pudding and whipped cream topping which was tasty. But the crust it was on was a little stale and not fragrant at all. All in all, a bit disappointed especially with all of the praise we saw online. As when we went, we got a pricy, ok American Chinese meal. read more

It was my first time visiting Frank Fats. The Asian Pear Cocktail was fresh, crisp and deliciously pear. It was our favorite. The Mai Tai was very strong but the bartender missed the mark on the balancing the juices. The Saigon Crispy Chicken was delicious but a little overcooked, as the chicken was a little dry and very chewy. The Wonton Soup had a very nice balanced flavor but the mushrooms were a little undercooked and the veggies were to big for the cup sized bowl it was served in. As a suggestion, please use bigger bowls for customers when serving at the table, not the small cups. The crab rangoon was some of the best I've had, Delicious! The Young Shew Fried Rice was the star of the show. I had my doubts when I read the ingredients but decided not to modify it because I didn't feel my review would be fair if I removed ingredients. I'm VERY happy I didn't. ALL of the ingredients were beautifully balanced and complimented the rice PERFECTLY. It was the most tender, tasty and perfectly cooked Fried Rice I've ever had. Our reservation was at 4p on a Saturday, which is pefect if you would like to beat the dinner rush. Our service was friendly, fast and attentive. We took a slice of banana cream with us. It was good, but failed to impress. I found Frank Fats to be worth the sticker price, considering today's economy, and good enough for me to come back for seconds lol. read more

I will be honest and say that I used to avoid Frank Fat's because I assumed that since it was Chinese food in downtown sac, it would be watered down in flavor with exorbitant prices BUT I WAS WRONG!! Came in with a table of 5 on the weekend with a reservation and was promptly sat. Here's what we ordered: Apps - Yu Kwok - Salt and Pepper Calamari Entrees - Orange Chicken - Sweet & Sour Pork - Honey Walnut Prawns - Young Shew Fried Rice - Beef Chow Fun - Ma Po Tofu - Gai Lan Desserts - Chocolate cream pie - Banana cream pie We also started off with a couple of cocktails for the table for some good vibes. I was actually so surprised at how flavorful and tasty all the food was, sorry for making baseless assumptions in the past! The batter on the fried items are light, crispy, and don't fall apart when you take a bite. The proteins were also bouncy, succulent, and not dry at all. I will say that their style of Ma Po Tofu isn't what I'm normally used to, so it kinda threw me off. They use firm tofu slices but I'm used to silken tofu. Also this goes without saying, but their banana cream pie IS THEEEE BEST!!! The perfect example of a dessert being "not too sweet" but so so so tasty. I like that the ambiance makes me feel nicer than going to a typical Chinese takeaway shop but not too elevated where it's snooty haha Thank you to Johnny and Ngoc for providing the best service! read more

It has been ages since the last time I dined at Frank Fats. It was time to give them some local support. We started off with calamari. It was lightly battered and very crispy with a hint of heat. It was four of us, so it makes sense to order 4-5 dishes to share family style. Garlic Chili Green Beans and Walnut shrimp is a must! It's their signature dishes. Green beans were cooked perfectly with the crunch. Good sauce ratio! The Fat's Brandy fried chicken was flavorful and moist. Some of the pieces was overly fried tho. The Immigrant's beef was okay. I'm not a big beef person. The Hong Kong Chow Mein was okay. Generous portion. I expected the noodles on the bottom to be more crunchy. Overall, it was a nice family meal. You can't leave without enjoying a piece of their legendary banana cream pie. I don't know how they get it so fluffy. read more

saw that there was so much hype around this place, in-person it looks like a pretty upscale and modern chinese restaurant. we ordered doordash pickup though and thought the food didn't exactly match that standard. the order was ready pretty quick though. we got the: - honey walnut shrimp ($26.95): I actually liked the thin batter and crispiness (and the not-as-creamy sauce) but the prawns themselves were a little tough - pork fried rice ($21): this was a bit underwhelming and bland, but a huge portion - banana cream pie ($9.25): I loved the paper-thin crust and banana filling, the cream was also pretty light and just subtly sweet. if you like lots of cream you would like this read more

Food- not hot, sitting too long somewhere. Would I come again-no. I wasn't happy and really disappointed on the cold or barely warm dishes. Ordered family style. Even the white rice was cold. Need brócoli, walnut shrimp, beef bak choy, mushroom vegetables- all dish were cold or barely warm. Service- waiter was efficient and checked on our table. Only negative comment was when I asked him what if I don't like my mojito, he said, " I didn't make it." I didn't appreciate it. The mojito was good. It tasted better at the end. Table was cleared of empty dishes. Ambiance- too noisy, Interesting narrow layout. 1932 this restaurant opened . Interesting side story- an in law from marriage many years ago, Frank would bring her the restaurant famous banana cream pie when she was pregnant with her two of her sons (1940's). read more

The food was phenomenal. We ordered the appetizer platter, the orange chicken, and a combination fried rice. Everything was delicious. I ordered a Mai tai as well- which in my opinion was not the best, but didn't really mind as the food was the main event. We did order the banana cream pie- I'm not a cream pie person.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Frank Fat's for excellent service and savory dishes. We hosted an intimate dinner celebration for a momentous event for 25 people and everything went smoothly.

We truly appreciate your effects to make our event a success! Looking forward to returning soon to try other dishes! read more

Solid restaurant overall. Good place for a sit down meal with reliable food and a comfortable setting.

Nice spot with a historic feel. The food came out hot and tasted really good, especially the signature items.

Food was pretty good. I've been here twice while in town for work. I thoroughly enjoyed the hot and sour soup. All the flavors are there and it is a hearty soup. Their house special fried rice was also very good. We ordered a beef dish that was laid on top of zucchini and I expected like a Mongolian style stirfry but instead it was truly large slices of flank steak with a brown sauce on top of sliced shredded zucchini so that was a little weird. Their drinks are delicious, but I could barely taste alcohol. Anyways, overall, it's a good spot and I would go again. read more

I was quite disappointed with the quality of the food. The brandy fried chicken was very unseasoned. All I could taste was the brandy. The Peking duck was extremely overcooked and dry. I dined in specifically for the NY steak, which was not a disappointment. It was very good and prepared to a perfect temperature of medium rare. I love the onions and the oyster sauce, which complimented the steak. The banana cream pie was delicious as well. I likely will return in the future to order the NY steak as a take out order. read more
