    Roast duck wonton noodle and House Special chow mein.
    Hieu L.

    Good food, good portions, and fair prices. This place is always packed, so you know the food is good.

    Mongolian beef, stir fried steak cubes with tofu, walnut shrimp, Peking spare ribs
    Alex D.

    I have been going to Lollibowl almost my whole life since I was a little kid. Lollibowl is a Sacramento staple located in predominately Asian plaza with a lot of other good restaurants around. I'm sure everyone loves and comes back to this place specifically because it's delicious, reliable and affordable. When entering, you're hit by a nostalgic smell that is unforgettable and it looks like it has never changed since I was a kid. It wasn't too busy at the time, so we were seated very quickly within 1 minute and got our waters and menus right after. I came here with 3 other friends and we decided to eat family style rather than ordering individually. The server came by after a few minutes and checked in to see if we were ready to place an order. We ordered the Mongolian beef, stir fried beef cubes with tofu, walnut shrimp, and Peking spare ribs. We also got a side of rice for us to share. The food came out very quickly and steaming hot, which is always amazing to see! I picked the Mongolian beef because that's what I usually get, and it just tastes fantastic. The peppers and onion add a nice flavor to the dish and the beef is always so tender. One of my friends ordered the stir fried beef with tofu and this is something I've never tried before, and it was great! Overall, I had an amazing experience eating there with my friends and being reminded of my childhood when I used to come with my parents and sister! I'd definitely recommend anyone to check it out and order the Mongolian beef!

    Must get is the lollibowl combo with soup on the side!!! Trust me!!! The best thing ever I could eat it everyday!

    Salted fish fried rice
    Mel L.

    This spot never disappoints. I've been coming for ever. I love that there is a boba shop in 1/2 of the restaurant. The half chicken is DELICIOUS with the salt/lemon combo, and the salt & pepper wings are dare I say... the best in town!? The beef chow fun is full of flavor, but the steak cubes and rice are my absolute favorite. I've even tried recreating them at home. Salted fish fried rice is also a favorite. It sounds interesting...but trust me it is so good and not salty at all! Service is always 10/10, everyone is so nice and friendly, and the bottomless iced tea is one of my favorite things about this place. Definitely a go to spot for me and my family. Portions are wonderful and so is pricing.

    tomato beef
    Helen L.

    Haven't been to Lollibowl in forever, glad it's still around. I got the tomato beef and the taste isn't quite what I remembered it to be but it was good. The beef itself was a lil too cooked to my liking and some of the meats were too chewy. Aside from that, I still enjoyed it. Would come back to try other items.

    Walnut shrimp

    I've been coming to Lollibowl for years, and it's still one of my favorite spots to grab a good meal. My usuals are the Mongolian beef, the deep-fried whole flounder, and the Bo Luc Lac -- all super tasty and always consistent. I also really like their Hainan chicken when I'm in the mood for something comforting. Nothing fancy, just solid food that hits the spot every time. Definitely worth a visit.

    Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice
    Tiffy S.

    MUST TRY!! Everything about this place gets 5 BIG BOOMS. Spacious, waitlist at door, tables, and booths. Service is so speedy! Servers are great at recommendations and answering any questions. Food comes out depending on how busy it is. I came twice, once when it was dead, once when it was busy. The first time I blinked and the food was there. Second time waited 15 minutes. Another BIG thing is it's insanely cheap!!! In this economy these prices are rare for the quality and quantity of food received. My Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice was shared btw 4 people and we still had leftovers. Lots of menu items to pick from, I recommend looking at their online menu beforehand. And any dish with Beef is top tier!! Come and be in food heaven at a low price ‼

    The food never disappoints. Love the beef with sugar peas, mapo tofu, and chicken wings. I like how you can order drinks from Lollicup while dining too. The prices are very good too for the amount of food you get for each dish.

    Authentic broth for soups and delicious dishes. Fast and swift service. Very clean indoor dining. Outside looks intimidating but inside very nice. Good food for after church or lunch family meet up

    Shaking Beef with red rice. Definitely a favorite!
    Jim P.

    Good selection of authentic Chinese food. The wife especially likes the shaking tiger Beef over noodles. Ample seating and staff that treats you like a regular on your first visit. Maybe that was because they knew my inlaws, but I didn't care! It was endearing. We keep coming back for wonton noodle soup.

    Wonton noodle
    Lily N.

    This place is a staple for the South sac area and I've been coming here for as long as they've been opened! I will admit that the dishes are a bit of a hit or miss for me and I do feel it just depends on each individual's taste. They have quick service here. Although they had to raise their prices due to inflation, just like all other businesses, I feel that their prices are still reasonable and still a great value due to the large portion sizes. What I like to order and recommendations: -Wonton Noodle Soup (w/ flat white noodles) -Beef Chow Fun (Dry style) -Chicken Wings -Steak Cube with Red Rice Small but sufficient parking lot. Plenty of booth seating inside and can accommodate larger groups.

    Beef Chow Fun
    Harry V.

    I've been coming to Lollibowl for years for their food. It's still by far one of my family's and I's favorite spot to go to every time I get a chance to visit them. My usual order is the red fried rice with pepper steak rubes and beef chow fun. I would recommend these 2 dishes to anyone trying Lollibowl for the first time. The red rice with steak cubes is nice and flavorful. Comes with a variety of vegetables so it adds depth to the dish. The beef chow fun is not too oily, favorful, and has that flavorful char from the intense high heat they toss it in. We also tried a few new items and they were spectacular. The crispy chicken was amazing, served with some salt and lemon on the side. We also ordered stir fried bok choy. It had a lot of flavor with the sauce they add to it. It's amazing how the bok choy still maintains it's crunch and texture after getting tossed in that delicious sauce. Overall my experience has always been great here. The service was amazing. The team always took care of us. Anything that was unsatisfactory they will make it right for you. I really appreciate how much the staff here put in the time to take care of the customers. The ambiance was well kept, clean, and maintained.

    I've always come for the boba as it is cheap and you can't find cheap boba much places anymore. Boba is always good, cheap, refreshing. They offer a wide variety of toppings, even mini boba which is a lot better than regular boba. We ate lollibowl and it's delicious. Always cheap, hot, and delicious. Not much I can say. The rice could use a little more seasoning but no worries. Service is quick. Love coming here regularly. (Same review by me on Google)

They will buzz your buzzer and you pick up at the designated window. The service was quick - we got our food within 5 minutes of ordering. There are self-served condiments table on the right side of the pick up window. You can load as much condiments as you like. They have pickled mustard greens, pickled long beans, bamboo shoots, roasted soy bean, roasted peanuts, scallions, cilantro, and hot sauces. - A1 Guilin Rice Noodle: the noodle was very soft (but a bit too soft for me). The meat pieces were tender and good. The crackling pork pieces were super crispy and gave a nice texture to the dish. - A10 Braised Pork Dry Tossed Noodle: the curly noodle was firmer type than A1 and had a bit of chew (which was similar to instant noodle) and I prefer this. The braised pork was flavorful and delicious! - B11 Preserved Duck Egg with Tofu: the tofu was soft and was a good combo with the preserved duck egg. The egg itself didn't have very strong taste so it was very pleasant. The spicy sauce was mild for me but the overall dish was good. - C1 Old Gui Lin Boba Milk Tea (less sugar): good and milky. The less sugar version was the perfect sweetness for us. The boba pieces were chewy and good.

It was super tough! I did enjoy the flavor of the soups though. It seemed like the broth was high fat content. I really liked the self-serve condiment bar. This was one of the highlights for me. I'll be a returning customer.

The drunken noodle plate was so BIG, then compared to the yum woonsen and khao soo those were soo small. I wanna say their stir fried dishes r big portions and everything else is small ig. Flavor of yum woonsen was pretty good, i usually like the sauce, two shrimps. Drunken noodle not bad, noodles r cut rly big lol and bit mushy decent flavor. Overall wouldnt come back, would rather go to saivaree (sister restaurant) which gives better portions and i believe their pricing is cheaper/same.

This had the perfect balance of sweetness. It was light and refreshing and balanced the rest of the flavors of the meal. I started with the seaweed salad. It was a solid seaweed salad. Good seasoning and texture. It was a good portion size as well. Melissa and Jonathan had the gyoza. They were stuffed full of meat, but I felt like the seasoning was a little less than and also they were unevenly cooked. I still tried one though because a gyoza is a gyoza. As my main, I had the karamiso ramen with a spicy miso based broth with seasoned ground chicken, veggies and chili threads for an extra kick. I enjoyed this bowl of ramen. It was the perfect level of spice. I am partial to ground meat in ramen, so I liked that this was an option. The veggies were cooked al dente which I appreciated, and the broth was filling and flavorful. The noodles were thin which is my favorite type. Attentive service here. OUr water cups were always filled no matter how hot the ramen was. Solid meal here.

    Getting home cooked style meal cant be any more satisfying while traveling and authentic Chinese…read morefood is harder to find! To all my canto peeps, this will be the place where you feel like home. However a tad variation of preferences to taste buds. My family is from a different area from the Mr. with a different flavor profile than his. So here is our take: braised beef noodle soup - we loved but the Mr. loved it more. Soup reminded me of shoyu ramen with garlic. Simple, soothing and flavorful. I loved it but it was missing a few spices I am personally used to such as more spice mix and pickled mustard greens. House Fried Rice (Thursday special) - this was simple yet satisfying. With shrimp and Chinese sausage in it. Carb overload but it was such a comfort food we cant help but finish it. House soup dumplings which we also liked but again he loved this one more also. Again, simple yet flavorful, clean comfort food while i felt the skin was a tad thicker than what I prefer. So this one depends on your preferences. Regardless, this was still good. Ambiance: clean and welcoming. They have a TV screen to highlight their food items with pictures which I always love to help me find what i want to eat. But wont lie, it makes me want to get every item on there. They all look yummy. Service: Its a family run restaurant and one person serving everyone plus seating and taking the bill. So during rush hour, do expect wait times but I completely understand and don't mind it. I can see they are busy and would rather than go to a place that is slow where the server walks like a sloth. That is always an eye sore to me. Cost: prices are reasonable and same to any other places similar. Parking is in a huge plaza and can be crowded during rush hour but still enough just may need to walk further a bit. If we ever travel this way again, will definitely be back!
