Hoicin Cantonese Restaurant has one of the best chefs in Sacramento. The food is delicious, and the portions are generous. The dining room is dated and due to a remodel. However, the yummy food makes me not even worry about the dining room. I'm focused on my delicious food. lol The waitress and the owner are super friendly and providing excellent service. I have an excellent meal. read more

Friendly service, small restaurant, counted 9 tables. It's quiet , few families in the dining area. Came in for a quick bite. We ordered 2 dishes for party of four, soy sauce chow mein, and E-U noodles with crabs. The food came out salty and the noodles for E-U noodles are over cooked and slightly mushy. read more

Avoid this place at ALL COSTS. Just go to Pho Momma next door. Numerous health and safety violations. This place has completely went down hill. Rodent droppings found in their kitchen on multiple occasions, improper food handling and storage temperatures. read more

What happened? It was awful. Meat dishes were almost all vegetables and cut really large. Broccoli were trees. Carrots had to be cut, WAY too big and too much. Overall, the food was subpar. What happened? read more

Definitely hits the spot when looking for some beef noodle soup, although it's not on the menu. Quick and hot and pricing is good too! Dim Sum to be had and easy parking. read more

I ordered this food through GrubHub. But I found out that you can call directly to the restaurant to have a delivery...My delivery person was from Hoi Cin.. I got beef chow fun, sweet-and-sour pork over noodles and, Mongolian beef over steam rice extra spicy. I also got Sweet and sour soup, fried shrimp, steamed buns, sesame seed buns, deep-fried silver buns. And sesame seed buns. and let's not forget Shanghainese steam buns. I thought that beef chow fun tasted pretty good the noodles were not as wide as I have been used to. Sweet-and-sour pork over noodles instead of rice taste just fine and I recommend that. And last but not least the Mongolian beef over steam rice extra spicy.... The extra spicy was dried red chili peppers added to the dish ..Be careful the red pepper is not very chewable if you got one in the mouth. But overall a good dish... The fried shrimp was delicious it had Panko coating on it. Steam buns were good & tasty.... I tried the sesame seed buns and I did not like them They were not my cuppaa of tea for me. I was not quite sure of the deep fried silver buns ..They tasted okay...... Overall good portions good food definitely recommend this place. read more

Ordered a kung pao chicken combo meal. It turned out to be a kung pao celery dish instead. Literally half the plate is celery. It's too bad because it tastes good but only a few pieces of chicken. The rice tastes like burnt oil and the chow mein is greasy. I asked for a side of hot sauce and did not get any. I wanted a large chicken and corn soup but on Grubhub they have it priced at $101.95, I suggest updating this info. Soup was ok. I'll likely not order from here again. read more

I miss the days of AYCE at this restaurant but you can't beat their salt and pepper ribs and sampan crab. I enjoy their consistency and the restaurant is clean and in order. read more

I ordered food for pickup so I'm unable to comment on dine-in services but this place was poppin' for pickup. I ordered the peking pork chop (delicious), salt and pepper shrimp (wasn't the greatest but this is definitely a dish you need to eat inside the restaurant because it's going to get soft in the takeout container), XO prawns chow fun (delicious), and garlic pea tips (can't go wrong). Pretty solid for me. read more

Ordered delivery last night. Delivery came quickly and food was hot and super yummy. Thank you for always being amazing. We love you

Reliably delicious food. We have eaten there for years and somehow I have neglected to give them a review. It's a great family run small business that appears to do more business for take-outs. There is always available seating, and we like to eat in because the fish dishes taste best right out of the kitchen. I did notice that the menu prices have not been updated and I thought the prices seemed too inexpensive. When you get your bill, normal pricing is reflected. I don't like surprises like that and I probably should have mentioned it. read more

So far I've visited twice & I have enjoyed their food both days. I am vegetarian so I was excited to see they have vegetarian options! My husband loved his food too. We will definitely come back . read more

My husband and I had dinner here last night and for the more times than I can remember, that we have been there, the food exceeded expectations. The ladies are always pleasant and helpful. The young man that works there even got up and held the door for me when we got there. We had BBQ duck, vegetable stir fry, orange chicken with chicken fried rice and pork bun. The duck was delicious. The vegetable fried rice was perfect. The vegetables were not over cooked. The orange chicken had just the right amount of flavor. The pork buns were fabulous. The people that complain about the service, or the food, I have to wonder if either it's a culture thing or an entitlement thing. The people that work in this restaurant do their best to give the customers the best service possible and to give them the best tasting food possible. If you're not happy with their service or food, go somewhere else. Despite popular opinion, the customer is not always right. The decor is what you would expect for a Cantonese restaurant. It is tastefully decorated. read more

The food is delicious, the service is good, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and great prices. I'm a local and they haven't disappointed.

This our second time trying Hoicin, our first time was ok but this time it was like the was made way before we picked it up. The sesame chicken was soggy and the sauce had gelled, the crabmeat wontons had almost no filling in them and were very doughy. We also ordered broccoli chicken that was 90% broccoli. The only good thing on our order was the chow mein. Sad to say we will not be back. read more

The staff here were very friendly and welcoming when we walked it. It's a community staple where a lot of the customers, patrons, and staff know each other. The kung pao chicken was not bad, and the fish filets and vegetables were great as well. I also enjoyed the stir fried rice noodles with shrimp, though it had a bit more sauce than I expected. read more

Flavorful, prompt and well done in every respect. Our takeaway order was ready in 16 minutes. read more

Not sure what has happened. I previously went to this restaurant and it was not great but good especially for the price. Went tonight and the seasame chicken had an odd flavor with extra sauce, the honey walnut prawns tasted like it had no honey and the chow mein had a gray color. I hope i don't get sick. read more

I experienced the worst customer service ever from a restaurant last night. Someone at Hoicin called me twice about my online order and harassed and yelled at me while I was driving to pickup my online order via Yelp. This is unacceptable customer service and behavior from a restaurant personnel! I was tired from a long week and work day. It was after 8pm by the time I got home. So, we decided to order Chinese takeout because we were exhausted, didn't want to cook, and wanted a fish entree for Friday in Lent. Yelp showed that Hoicin closes at 9pm. So we placed an online order and Yelp estimated the order will be ready by 8:55pm at the latest. My map app estimated I would at the restaurant a few minutes outside the pickup time window but before their 9pm closing. While driving to the restaurant, a lady at Hoicin calls me the first time to interrogate me when I will pickup my order. She kept yelling, "you got to pickup up now!" I informed her that I was on my way and will arrive before 9pm. I apologized I will be a few minutes later than the 8:55pm pickup time provided by Yelp. At 8:50pm, she calls me and yells at me again! I was a few minutes away on the freeway. I told her I was almost there, and I was driving as fast as possible without being reckless. I arrived to pickup my order at 8:58pm. I was already very upset and didn't care about the rude greeting. I never ate the order because of the rude experience from Hoicin. We are never returning to their restaurant! Hoicin has lost another customer! read more

Used to be my favorite until Sac County health inspector came and numerous violations on 5 different occasions within the last month. Dead mice, mice droppings all over kitchen. Take a look on sacramento County food inspections. WE WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN read more

Best Chinese food in the area. Their lunch specials are are portions and a great price.

3.5 stars Considering location, they are ok We ate lunch there. I had chicken and green beans over rice (spicy). The food was good, but a bit salty. Lunch came with rice of choice, bowl of house soup, and an egg roll. For $10.95, why not. I would come again, but ask for low salt. The place seems clean 4/5 and the service is 4/5 (attentive) 3.5 stars for food. read more

I ate here for lunch with their lunch special deal. 10$ for fried rice/noodles/white rice with protein entree , soup and egg rolls. They used real chicken and real ingredients but the sauces and super fried taste was awful (was not even crispy). I unfortunately did not take a photo because I was on a rush to back to work from my lunch break. For the price, it will get you full. Wife got chicken & string beans, with complimentary chow mein, spring rolls, hot & sour soup. Wife's food was salty in all area and overly sauced - like coated with sauce like their covering the low quality of the food. I got sesame chicken with complimentary fried rice, spring rolls, hot & sour soup. Mine meal was extremely salty as well and had 50/50 percent ratio of sauce to chicken which was unpleasant. All in all, the food was not good, I felt awful afterwards but I guess you get what you pay for. HOWEVER! I do recommend this place if you want to save money and get a quick meal for lunch for an Americanize Chinese Food. If you want real Chinese Food, this place ain't it. Sorry again for not having photos :( read more

Ordered a house chow mein and an orange chicken. BE CAREFUL ORDERING HERE!!! My bf was throwing up all night after eating here. Orange chicken tasted bitter like something was wrong with it. It had a very weird taste, like not a food taste. House chow mein was good but now I'm not sure if it was after all. Order at your own risk. read more

Asked waitress lady a question, and we were ignored. Chairs are smelly. Need to be cleaned. A man came out from the back with 2 take out plates, with one hand with take out plates and the other hand in his mouth sucking his fingers!!. Oh my God... who does that in a restaurant!. So disappointing!. read more

I wish the beyond menu options were more clear. Be wary when ordering from there. They don't have any descriptions on that website. Variations in Chinese cooking exist, I readily acknowledge that. For example, the Szechuan beef here is breaded and tastes more like orange chicken than anything. Because I've had this dish elsewhere in the way I wanted I made the mistake of relying on the naming of the dish aside from the clear lack of description to make a choice - one that I regret immensely. Also, there was also some sort of reprimand when I ordered through the Beyond Menu app. I placed the order through and created an alias through Apple that wasn't tied to any accounts. I did this because I knew I ordered through Beyond Menu at least three years ago, but I didn't use that account, I created a new one. Still the restaurant told me I had to notify them of when I moved to the new address because their system had my old address? Wtf. No idea what the background on their end is with beyond menu, but when my order in 2021 clearly states the address I wish the food to be delivered to NOW, it should supersede any address in their system for me, irrespective of my phone number. read more

My first visit to the establishment close to my new home let's me know that I will visit again. I was headed home to prepare for a trip I'm taking beginning tomorrow and though it was not not just 4 PM, I was a bit hungry and did not want to prepare anything once so got home. The place is in a small strip mall with h a newly opened chicken restaurant next door. Since it was so early, I was the only patron. The decor was a surprise for the location - a bit formal with covered chairs and seat backs. Everything looked very pleasant and welcoming, not like a typical take out Chines restaurant. The menu is quite extensive, but I quickly settled on the salt and pepper prawns since they had the option of shell on. The other thing missing were the heads! I also ordered garlic green beans and rice - knowing that this was far too much for me to eat alone, but already thing of the leftovers. I was hungry and just dove n when the food arrived so I didn't take any pictures. Sorry. The shrimp did not disappoint (except for their missing heads). There appeared to be about a pound of very nice sized shrimp. They had been fried precisely and had pieces of crisply fried garlic and also onions on a bed of lettuce instead of the cabbage that I'm used to. They were succulent and the garlic green beans and steamed rice were a great accompaniment. The staff was efficient and pleasant. I look forward to returning to try other offerings - especially their dumplings and Wor Won Ton Soup. The prices Big was fair considering the quality of the ingredients and the portion size. I'll be back. read more

I ordered the Mongolian beef but there was no beef it was all vegetables. Tasty food, very small portions, and over priced.

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants ever! I love stopping here when I'm passing through Sacramento. I love the bbq chow mein with thin noodles and the chow fun too! The ladies are so nice and attentive! Always a great stop! read more

Excellent food, always my go-to doordash dinner and they never disappoint! Love the fried rice and walnut prawns.

New owners have ruined this place. It used to be the best Chinese food in town and now it's disgusting. The dishes are completely different and everything is super oily. Everything is just filled with filler vegetables. The have also raised the prices. I am so disappointed, this was my favorite place and now it's just terrible. Will never order from here again. read more

Great food and they offer free delivery if you are close to the location. I get food most times within 30 minutes

Whenever we want Chinese takeout, this is our go-to spot. It's close to where we live, so delivery is always pretty quick, and even on the two occasions that I have gone to pick-up, service is fast and friendly. I would give it 5 stars, but the quality of the food has gone down a bit since Covid. Not sure if they lost an experienced chef, or what, but it's still better than most other places we've tried. read more

The service is friendly, they have a lot of variety dishes. The ambiance is pleasant that the prices are not too high. The crab dish is very tasty as well as the chowmein and eggplant dish!! read more

Didn't get to take pictures because it was late and we were hungry. We ordered the chow fun, bbq pork fried rice, honey walnut shrimp, fried pork chops, Mongolian beef, and hot and sour soup! Everything we ordered was yummy. Everything tasted like how I expected it to taste like. I would order all of these again if I was craving Chinese cuisine. I would definitely recommend the Mongolian beef if you're hesitant on what to order for the first time. They were very generous with the meat inside the hot and sour soup even though I prefer more veggies and tofu. The fried pork chops were good, it just tasted like fried chicken to some of the people who were eating with me. But who doesn't like fried chicken anyways? Haha. read more
