I love the old school vibe of this Chinese restaurant on Sutter Street. It's dark and cool with so many fun Knick knacks inside. The menu is huge, so many choices. We wanted to try them all but settled on three different choices- special egg foo young, Szechuan beef, and pork chow mein. We also shared some egg rolls. Everything was delicious and tasted fresh. The Szechuan beef was definitely my favorite. We took home a lot, for at least three more meals. Service is super friendly. Definitely recommended! read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. The old Chinatown feel and the decor are great and my two friends and I that ate there last week all liked the food. In fact, I think their eggplant dish is the best I've ever eaten. Kudos for that. Here's the problem, the restroom is the smallest, worst one I've been in for many years, with the lowest toilet. In fact, I'd call if hazardous for a lot of elderly and handicapped people. There's no excuse for that. read more

I had never been here but saw it had a solid 4 star on Yelp so decided to give it a try. The host invited me in the moment I stepped inside the restaurant. The decor is somewhat dated but yet elegant. The place has a real cool & mellow vibe. When my order arrived it was steaming hot. To my surprise the shrimp were prawn sized and the amount of food is really cheap. The noodles though didn't have much taste so I had to add hot sauce to make it edible. I rated this place a solid 4 star however I won't order noodles again but for the amount of food I received I would recommend it if someone asked me where to eat for lunch under $20. read more

Most amazing egg rolls you will ever have. Every time I am in town I swing by and have the egg rolls and the barbecue pork chow mein, I've had other dishes as well and have never been disappointed. I strongly recommend you stop by and give them a try read more

First time visit. They had great lunchtime specials. Everything we ordered was very good. We were served fast as we hada time restraint. We will be back to try dinner read more

We rate this a 3... it wasn't a horrible experience. It wasn't a great experience. Was it just okay? Yeah... I say if you're in old Folsom walking around and craving Chinese- sure go there. It's not great or grand but gets you full with food. All we ordered was their sesame chicken and rice. Big portions and hot tea. The chicken was like thinly sliced chicken cutlet and it was very dry. Then...Throw on some sauce. It was edible but we won't be back. We try random sesame chickens at random Chinese spots all around to see if any compare to our favorite spot, but they don't. Our favorite Chinese food with the best sesame chicken and hot and sour soup is Rose Garden in Roseville. read more

Very disappointing. I got the combination plate, which comes with multiple dishes plus a side of soup for a good price and a generous portion size. BUT the quality of the food was horrific. My stale, disgusting food arrived within only a couple of minutes. It was clearly precooked and had been sitting out for far too long. The food had no flavor, texture, or dimension. I'm not sure how an entire giant plate can somehow be both salty yet bland and flavorless. It was honestly worse than Panda Express. I can't speak for the individual entrees, though. Maybe those are prepared fresh. I will say that at least the egg drop soup was good. The beef fried rice, "crispy" chicken with sweet dipping sauce, and chicken noodles were all bad. There were barely any vegetables in either the rice or noodles. I honestly felt like I was going to get food poisoning afterward. Another strange thing is that the restaurant seems to cosplay as a fancy, fine-dining establishment when the food definitely isn't fine dining. The atmosphere and presentation set an expectation that the food simply doesn't deliver. Overall, I would not recommend the combination plate or the restaurant. I honestly can't remember the last time I had food at a restaurant that tasted this old and un-fresh. I've only experienced food this stale at fast-food restaurants. read more

Wonderful food, quality ingredients, great service and a cozy atmosphere, what more could you ask for? We really enjoyed our meal. Everything we requested, from childhood favs to specific requests the owners and chef came through for us! We had so many leftovers. Will return soon for sure. Thanks Hop Sing for being our home away from home read more

A little hidden gem in Old Folsom. Probably one of the oldest standing Chinese restaurants in Folsom. Originally owned by Lisa Ling's family. If ever craving Chinese food, come give this place a try. It is authentic Chinese food still owned by family and only family serving you. Prices have not raised in years, I honestly think that they should be raised. Prices are so affordable being in Folsom. Lunch combos are $12.95 -3 items and a soup!!! What a freaking deal!!! There is a banquet room in the back, perfect for reservations. Very cozy with a dim lit ambiance. Each little room in the back has its own theme. It's is a 60's Chinese era vibe. Very cute. The carpet is actually very clean, thick and cushioned walking through. Their egg rolls are in my opinion, so good. They are ginormous, really crispy, with not the traditional egg roll wrap. A must try, due to its their own spin on egg roll originality. read more

I've been here a few times before and the other times were great. However, the last time we went didn't go so well. There were a couple of things that weren't ideal with the food and service, but I'm more disturbed by what I observed a worker do when she was cleaning off the table. There was a to-go box that went unused, however it had food splattered on it minimally. I observed her wiping the container off and appearing to put it away (not throw it away). That made me concerned with the food practices, especially because the other person who cleared that table with her didn't seem phased by her doing that. I'm really not sure what to think but I was shocked. I personally don't think I'll be back. I truly hope that it wasn't what it appeared to be. From what I can see, their inspections have had very good ratings. I'm a bit of a germaphobe though so I'm quite affected by what I saw. read more

Had lunch with friends yesterday. Extensive menu choices along with lunch specials. Started with an array of appetizers which were delicious. The al la art selections with beef were tender and tasty; however the sweet and sour pork was very tough and chewy. A few pieces were not edible. read more

Great service, unique setting and best of all, great food. We were a large group of 10 and pre-ordered the Peking Duck. We should have ordered two because we all went wild for it! We ordered an array of food and it was all delicious. They also serve alcohol so that was fun too. read more

Love this place! It's been around for 3 generations and it's obvious they know what they're doing. Service is friendly with a smile and fast. The food is packed with flavor and comes out hot. The lighting is soft and low, creating an intimate dining experience. I have yet to try a dish I don't like. Their sweet and sour pork, egg foo young, pork fried rice, chicken cashew, and appetizer plate are some of my favorites. It's becoming a tradition to eat at Hop Sings the night before Thanksgiving. Great vibe! read more

Hop Sing Palace - Chinese Near Me - Folsom, California

I joined friends at Folsom's Historic District as a farewell event to a friend going back to Japan. We went to one of our usual haunts from the past, Hop Sing, a venerable local restaurant. Perhaps one of the reasons why I like it is because of its name, which reminds me of "Hop Sing," the irascible cook and general factotum on the iconic television series Bonanza. But it's beyond that as the exterior is thematically on-point and once you go through its doors, it is like traveling to the Orient instantly without needing a passport nor the jet lag. The food is decent, but one of the things that struck me was how overly reasonable their prices are, especially their specials and there's a bunch of them. Stingy isn't something you'd equate with their servings. I've been to this place over the decades and it has proven to be timeless, where the past and present co-exist and the kind of place that you wish would never go away if only for personal nostalgia. And there's a good chance it has staying power for posterity. After all, it opened in 1957 and if you're curios, Bonanza premiered in 1959. How's that for food for thought? read more

Hop Sing Palace - A collection of photos from Hop Sing. - Chinese Near Me - Folsom, California

First time here after seeing it for years! I loved everything! The service was great and they even held our leftovers while we shopped. The chow mein (Hong Kong style) had a choice of thin or thick noodles which was a nice option! The sweet and sour pork was flavorful and crispy. The dinner for two was priced at $36 for the one we had. It could have fed 4 people! Great leftovers for the next day. The decorations were fun and it felt like an old school place. We will be back for sure!!!! I can't wait to try the pot stickers. They looked so good!!! read more

We recently had the pleasure of trying out Hop Sing Palace, a Chinese-American restaurant that has been open since 1957, and what an experience! If this is what Chinese-American food used to be, my standards for such fare have now been skewed and I will be comparing all other establishments to Hop Sing Palace. Nestled in the historic district of Folsom, Hop Sing Palace has a lovely vintage entrance, which opens up into a high-ceilinged restaurant with a cozy, dark interior. The seating and vibes are beautifully reminiscent of a bygone era. I absolutely loved the ambiance of Hop Sing Palace and the service was stellar. We were immediately seated and served ice water as well as tea, and our server was extremely friendly and attentive. We went with two special luncheons for our mains and shared a wor won ton soup as our starter. Before our food arrived, I took a quick trip to the bathroom, and was mesmerized by the vintage newspapers plastered about the walls. While tiny, the bathroom was characteristic of the 50s and clean. Our wor won ton soup arrived super quickly, and our server took initiative to scoop soup and various veggies as well as wontons into the small bowls before serving us. The soup itself was packed with ingredients and my only "complaint" was that there was far more ingredients than broth. However, the broth that we did have was very clean yet flavorful, a perfect start to our meal. After we finished two bowls each of the broth, we waited for our lunch specials to arrive. Meanwhile, another server asked us if we were done with our soup and even took it back to pack it in a to-go container for us. Shortly after, our lunch specials arrived, and as expected, our plates were piled high with deliciousness. I chose the spare rib special while my husband chose the BBQ pork special. Both of our plates came with almond chicken chow mein and fried rice. We've never had almond chicken chow mein before and it was sooo good. Even the fried rice, that looked bland in the photos, was simple yet savory. Both the noodles and fried rice were cooked perfectly, and there was so much chicken in the chow mein as well. We added a bit of chili sauce that was at our table and it elevated our meal. My spare ribs were tender and super fun to gnaw on as well. Obviously we left Hop Sing Palace with plenty of leftovers (our lovely server even gave us a box to hold all of our containers), but more importantly, we left satisfied with the wonderful experience we had at what would be the oldest Chinese-American restaurant we've ever been to. We can't wait to return and try other dishes while stepping back in time during our meal. Hop Sing Palace is unlike any other Chinese-American restaurant we've ever been to and I highly recommend this establishment for anyone who wants to try simple, flavorful, and super affordable classic fare. read more

Every time I come to California I always visit Hop Sing's! I ordered the war won ton soup that is so good. Lots of vegetables and wontons filled with shrimp and sausages. Very filling; I love soups. What I really like is there are no noodles! The wait staff is so in tune to your needs. Asking if you need sauce, tea, refills. The decor is old traditional Chinese from the gold rush days. Hop Sings has been in Old Folsom since 1918. The really great thing is they remember you! It's just impossible to walk out dissatisfied! read more

We've seen this place over the years but never had a chance to check it out, until yesterday! We were sat at a booth immediately and had water and hot tea delivered quickly. We ordered the spareribs which were good. Lots of meat on the bones and the flavor was like bbq pork, delish! We ordered the young rice which had beef, chicken and shrimp. It was good too. We also ordered black pepper chicken which showed on the menu that it was spicy but it definitely was NOT spicy. It could have actually used more pepper but the flavor was great! The chicken was still crispy and the sauce was yummy. It came with green bell peppers and onions. Overall the service was good, food was good and location is good. Its located in Old Folsom and we got lucky with a parking spot right in front! I do wish they itemized the prices per dish when they give you the tab but it wasn't a big deal. The place is a little outdated but we didnt mind it. Service was a little slow with the food coming out but we also didnt mind it. We will definitely be back to try more food soon! read more

Hop Sing Palace - Chinese Near Me - Folsom, California

We heard so much good things about this place and decided to try it on Saturday afternoon. We were seated immediately on the booth. Since we were hungry, we chose $34 for 2 menu which includes 5 dishes & 1 appetizers. Each portion was very generous and we had lots of leftovers. - Egg flower soup: a bit bland for our taste - Wonton soup: the broth was kinda plain. But the wontons were very good! They were flavorful and had slight sweetness in the filling. - Deep fried prawns: very good and not oily. The prawns were big & perfectly cooked. The coating was just the perfect amount. The hot mustard and ketchup were the perfect dip for this dish - Sweet & sour pork: delicious. My kid's favorite! However, the sweet and sour sauce was more sweet and no sourness. The pork pieces were tender & juicy. - Fried rice: good regular fried rice but a bit plain - Cashew chicken: good. The veggies tasted fresh. The chicken pieces were tender. They were generous on the cashew as well. - HK style fried noodle with chicken: we upgraded the chow mien to deep fried noodle. The dish was good. There were lots of chicken pieces and the celery pieces were fresh. read more

We were showing Sutter Street to some visitors and Hop Sing Palace was the perfect lunch spot. I had to order their famous egg rolls and they were delicious. There were veggies and minced pork inside the crispy fried wrapper. I did not care for the sweet and sour sauce that they came with. The duck slices were crispy and topped with sweet and sour sauce and crushed peanuts. Again, I didn't care for the sauce. Peanut allergy alert: someone in our group has peanut allergy. As the server was taking the order, I had the server verify that our orders do not have peanuts. One alert member of our group asked what the topping of the duck dish and of course they were crushed peanuts. I was very disappointed at the server knowing how very close we were to having a medical emergency. read more

Had to leave before we were seated. White people were the first priority. Got there before these 3 white folks but they were given a table first. They even asked them, "Party of three?" There were about 3 tables available but for some reason we waited in the waiting area for a long time without telling us what's going on. I'd say another 15 minutes after the three customers who came in after us were seated. Is it because our party wasn't white? So if you're white, you might enjoy this place. The customers that were there are all white and they seemed to enjoy the food and service. read more

Hop Sing Palace - Chicken with green beans. - Chinese Near Me - Folsom, California

First time visiting Folsom and we were excited to dine at this old restaurant because of it's history in the neighborhood and also because of someone else. We were greeted right away. The male server was nice. We did not have a good experience with the female server. FOOD: - Tomato Beef Chow Mein $12.95 The sauce and thick noodles were good and the sauce was not too sweet. Reminds us of the food from the old San Francisco Chinatown restaurants. The only problem was the tomatoes tasted spoiled. - Wor Wonton Soup $12.95 The soup didn't have flavor and the bbq pork was very dry and bland and the chicken had a little spoiled taste. The shrimp was deep fried and dunked into the soup and had a rubbery texture. Luckily the vegetables were good. The wontons had pork filling. The prices are very good but we wished the food was better. We will not return. read more

What a delightful experience at Hop Sing during a cold rainy night. We walked in as a small group and got the deluxe service from Bill! We hadn't been there in many years and it was so nice to be greeted by a familiar face and given such amazing service just like we remembered. And the food was soooo delicious. We had the family meal for $17 a person and it was wonderful that we could each choose our own soup type. The plates of food were huge and we each had enough to take home for another meal. We got the soup, fried prawns, chicken chowmein, sweet and sour and pork fried rice. All the dishes were incredible except the sweet and sour which needed to be fried longer for my taste. We can't wait to go back and experience again what is Hop Sing! Nothing else like it anywhere in the area! read more
