Everytime I'm in town I always get the orange chicken and fried rice! And you can't forget about the rose tea! The place has cute decore. It's a small place so be aware of dinner time when it gets busy. But they are fast and efficient

(D)Broccoli Beef
Yadera P.

The food was delicious, the chowmein although not clearly pictured, was delicious, the orange chicken was perfectly sweet and sour, very good crunch, broccoli was perfectly cooked, the dumplings and pop stickers were all cooked perfectly. The portions were huge, we ordered and although a big order the turn around was fairly quick...minus the bao (which understandably take longer) service waa very good, server kept coming by and checking on us, refilling waters, and asking if we needed anything else. It's a cozy place, not super loud music, which helps be able to have a comfortable level conversation.

Vegetable Dumplings
Haley S.

Cute spot in Midtown! My friends and I stopped for dinner, and the location is great. Vibes inside are cozy and our service was quick! I really enjoyed the garlicky green beans for our appetizer although the black pepper tofu was slightly lacking in flavor. I was most disappointed by the vegetable dumplings - the wrapper itself had an odd taste that made them offputting and the filling was overpowered by a particular aromatic spice I was unable to identify. Not too many vegetarian options on the menu, so I would probably opt to go elsewhere for vegetarian dumplings, but glad I gave this spot a try. If you have a less restrictive diet, could definitely be worth it!

Vegetable Dumplings

Not northern Chinese style dumplings. Think more dim sum style. The food, think Cantonese restaurant. Lots of fried. Lots of sauce. Lots of oil. Perfect little Chinese spot for this neighborhood but not the spot to go if you're looking for authentic dumplings and noodles.

Pork & Cabbage Dumplings
Judy H.

Came in on a Sunday around 5pm. There were two other tables with customers. We got a table right away. The order taker was friendly. We ordered xiao long bao, chicken cilantro dumplings, spicy garlic green beans and two Thai teas with crystal boba-different than the traditional boba. They were delicious and a nice large size. The green beans came out quickly and served piping hot. They were perfectly cooked with the perfect amount of spice. The soup dumplings were well made but the soup had mostly leaked out. The chicken cilantro dumplings was the highlight along with the green beans. The service was fast!! The restaurant is small but it was not over crowded today. There is an outside space but today there was a homeless person sitting out there when we arrived so no one was using it. Food and service rates 5 stars but with the homeless person in patio...minus one star : (

This place was really good! Went here after a quick yelp search while in SAC and what a good choice this was. Everything we got was so good and reasonably priced. Would go back next time I'm in Sacramento!

Pan fried noodles
Stacey F.

I'd give them 3.5 if I could. The food was okay.... we liked the pan fried noodles and I enjoyed the shrimp siu Mai. The pork cabbage dumplings were just okay--kind of soggy and overcooked. We ordered 3 drinks, one with boba, unaware that they only have crystal boba, which none if us like. I'd recommend they call out what kind they have on the menu to avoid confusion. I liked the passion fruit blended ice. Not the oreo cookie blended ice. The place is very small and cute and the service was fast and friendly.

Mongolian Beef combo plate (chow mein)
Rod S.

BWE and I were out and about looking for a place to eat on a Sunday afternoon. We came upon this place. What a find! I ordered the spicy pork dumplings and the Mongolian beef with chow mein. BWE ordered the chicken and vegetables and chicken and cilantro dumplings (gluten free). NOTE: for those who are gluten free, they offer several gluten free and vegan options. We were both very satisfied with our orders. The spicy pork dumplings were delicious, packing a punch that was not overwhelming. They give you a TON of food. There was no way either of us was going to finish our orders. We both got take home boxes and are looking forward to round two with these dishes. We'll be back.

Thai Iced Tea
Cameron C.

Great spot to grab lunch! Outdoor seating with shade and quick service. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was super crispy and full of sauce. I liked how many walnuts they included. The dumplings were good too! Definitely want to try their other offerings. I got my food super quickly and was surprised. Would recommend for a quick lunch and caffeine intake.

Garlic Green Beans Plate Vegetables fried rice-GLUTEN FREE Gluten Free - Vegetable Rice Noodles Sweet and Sour Chicken Lunch Combo

Food is excellent and lots of gluten free options. My toddler is obsessed with the garlic green beans.

Garlic Eggplant
Jason N.

Overall: Stellar, unassuming corner Chinese spot with the kind of authentic flavor that quietly humbles you. We went on a whim and walked out wondering why we had not been there sooner. Service was quick. Every dish landed, but the spare rib noodle soup alone makes it worth the drive. This is the kind of place you visit once and then start planning your return Parking: Street parking and surprisingly not difficult to find We had: Spare rib noodle soup (5/5): Maybe it was the rainy weather, maybe it was fate, but this bowl defined the night. On paper it's simple: pork, baby bok choy, noodles, green onions. In reality it is deeply comforting and layered with flavor. The broth had body and warmth without being heavy, the ribs were tender and rich, and the noodles carried everything perfectly. It felt honest and soulful, like the kind of dish that does not try to impress you yet somehow does Garlic eggplant (5/5): A generous portion of silky eggplant cooked just right, paired with jalapeño, bamboo shoots, and mushroom in a sauce that hit that ideal balance of sweet and savory. The texture was spot on, soft but not mushy, and every component actually worked together. It is easy for eggplant to feel flat. This did not Xiao long bao (4/5): Still refining my dumpling standards, but this checked most of the important boxes. The wrapper was thin yet resilient, the broth aromatic and savory, and the filling well seasoned. The integration between soup and filling could have been a little more seamless, but overall it was a strong showing. Not transcendent, but absolutely worth ordering again

Heather C.

Out of the three options we got the shrimp dumplings were the best unfortunately everything else was just OK and the last item came out too late. We were already full at that point but when we reminded the waiter they said no it's coming please wait. Their menu items are very expensive, but I will say this is a very clean and renovated restaurant

Dinner combo: General Tso Chicken chicken, chow mein, fried rice, and veggie egg roll
Anissa R.

My long lost Hidden Dumpling House! I've lived walking distance from HDH for over a year now and had only been once before. I thought it was average. BUT TONIGHT, I ordered a takeout dinner combo (General Tso's chicken with chow mein, fried rice, and an egg roll) and that combo hit the spot!!! The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. Mild spice for the chicken but nice and crispy yet saucy. This spot is just your local, classic Chinese restaurant with all the dumplings and staples you could ask for. I'll be back for sure! Ps. The portion was massive and totally splitable. Also, as others have mentioned, it's tight quarters but my takeout was perfectly yummy.

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.

We haven't been to Frank's Fat in quite a while, and I've been meaning to return ever since I saw…read morethat they brought back the duck. Unfortunately, our experience this time was quite disappointing, especially because I used to really enjoy this restaurant. The Peking duck was not at all like I remembered. Previously, the skin was separated from the meat and cooked to a wonderfully crispy texture. This time, however, it didn't resemble authentic Peking duck style, and the meat was extremely dry, almost as if it had been overcooked. I was really looking forward to this dish, so it was a huge letdown. The eggplant stir-fry was another disappointment. It had far too much vinegar, making it almost difficult to eat. The orange chicken tasted good, but there were so many bones in it that my husband, who has sensitive teeth, had to be extra careful while eating. On a positive note, the spicy beef chow fun was excellent and easily the best dish of the night. I do want to give credit to our server, who was wonderful and attentive throughout our meal. They consistently made sure my water glass was filled, and I truly appreciated the great service. Unfortunately, despite the excellent service and the one standout dish, the overall food quality left us disappointed. It's sad to say that this may be our last visit, especially since I genuinely used to love this restaurant. I was hoping to enjoy the same quality that made me want to come back, but sadly, this visit fell short of my expectations.

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.

Really enjoyed our lunch here! We arrived before the rush on a Saturday and were quickly seated…read more The restaurant was clean and bright with lots of seating. All the servers were very nice and our food came out shortly after we ordered. We ordered the shrimp and chive steamed rice noodle, Chinese donut steamed rice noodle, shrimp pumpkin and salted egg, half roasted duck, preserved eggs pork congee, and 2 cold lemon teas. My favorites were the shrimp and chive steamed rice noodle and the pumpkin dish. I always look for this dish and am so excited when I see it's on the menu! In particular I thought this one was perfectly fried. Both the shrimp and the pumpkin were crispy, golden, and not oily at all. I thought the congee could use more flavor for me personally but the texture was really nice. The duck was also great! Crispy skin but juicy meat and great flavor. I enjoyed the tea but thought it was a little too sweet for me. I thought it was fairly priced with good portions. We had plenty of leftovers that all warmed up really well once we got home. I would definitely go back again and have already recommended Taste of Original to so many people!

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.
