The food was amazing as always! One standout dish was the tofu. It had a perfectly crispy batter on the outside while staying incredibly soft and silky on the inside, a unique texture that made it absolutely delicious. Just writing this review makes me want to order it again! The fried rice was also excellent, full of flavor and generously portioned. The Peking spareribs were decent, but they didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for its delicious food, generous portions, excellent quality, and friendly service. Be sure to come with a big appetite, you'll want to try everything! read more

Always my favorite family style meal that's not too pricey and plates are always large and full. The restaurant has a fair amount of seating. Service is always quick and good. We order to share family style.. the walnut shrimp is deliciously saucy. The house chow fun with gravy is full of flavor and always a great dish. Chicken wings are really crispy and salted nicely! The black pepper beef with sugar snap peas are my favorite dish there! Eat it with some steam rice and mmmmm delicious! I didn't get it this time but their mapo tofu is another delicious plate there. When looking for some great meals with decent pricing this is the place to go! read more

Got a huge bowl of wonton soup - very filling and comforting meal when sick. The wontons were bouncy and the portion was big! I wish I got noodles added too actually. I liked the generous portion of veggies inside the soup as well. The broth wasn't super flavorful but was light and not oily at all. The portions of other dishes here seem huge as well -- wish we tried other things on the menu! Service was super quick (order taken quickly & food came out very fast) and seating inside is very plentiful. It's also attached to a boba shop called Lollicup. They close on the earlier side (8pm) and stop seating people at 7:30. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Sis wanted to come here for lunch, so we went. Not my favorite place, but it's all about family time. It was super busy on a Sunday afternoon, but we got lucky with a table of 8. They always served big portions, but that doesn't mean it's good. Most of their food is mediocre, almost like it fills the stomach for a good price. My dad was not pleased with his "cube" beef and rice, but he opted for sliced because last time the cubed beef were super chewy and couldn't eat it. Unfortunately, the sliced beef were too soft....too much baking soda in it. The rest of the food - wonton noodles, hai nan chicken, chow fun, and chow mein - were okay, edible. I ordered the half poached chicken (on a diet) and the waitress asked if I wanted gravy. I was assuming it's the traditional ginger scallion dip, but I assumed wrong! It was literally a bowl of soup/gravy! I had to scoop it out and I literally filled a bowl. Definitely not the traditional Poached Chicken with Ginger Scallion Sauce. Never again. The place also. read more

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 ‼ read more

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.

Lollibowl - Shaking Beef with red rice. Definitely a favorite! - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Authentic Vietnamese food in a very non-descript restaurant. Food is tasty and fresh, made with legit fresh ingredients the way you'd expect it in the Bay Area or southern CA. Prices are reasonable and service is quick and prompt. The seating area is plentiful and is designed for you to have a tasty meal and move along - not to loiter. Parking is adjacent but be careful of transients looking around on the streets for valuables. Recommended. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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) read more

Lollibowl - Shaking beef with red rice - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

My dad really likes this place lol We came around 3pm on a Sunday and we were seated immediately and was able to put in our orders really fast! It is connected to a lollicup so if you want a boba fix, it's conveniently next door! The inside is clean and fairly big and has a good amount of seating, even for a bigger party! Our food came out within 10 minutes and the servers/staff were attentive and checked up on us often! I got the: - Beef Chow Fun: The picture doesn't do it justice but this was a huuuuuge serving, both my dad and I were so surprised! I got it for myself but would definitely feed a few people or be great for leftovers! I personally wish it was a big more flavorful but it was still really good and they had a lot of pieces of beef and onion throughout! We shared the: - Salt and Pepper Wings: These wings were soooo good, it had suchhh a good flavor and a great crunch and wasn't too oily! I also love the bed of green onions it was on bc it was nice to eat along side the wings! Def recommend getting the wings! This place has been here for years and it hasn't changed which i love! Their menu has a variety of options so I would definitely come back to try other things in the menu! I recommend coming here if you are around the area! read more

Their house fried rice and gravy beef chow fun is my go to. Quick take out service and the portions are always huge!

Visited Lollibowl on the way to visiting relatives and wow... it truly captures the beauty of Vietnamese-Chinese food. If you have had Cambodian/TeoChew noodles before, you will love the items they have on the menu and probably come back because there are so many options to choose from! Their price points for the portions and quality are AMAZING. What they offer would probably be $4 more down in San Jose! Lots of seating inside and there's a part of the restaurant which sells boba and smoothies. FOOD REVIEW: * Lollibowl combo w/ rice noodles -- your typical hu tieu mix featuring lots of different proteins!! I like that they use fresh shrimp instead of the frozen ones that were rinsed with baking soda because there's a nice chew and it's less salty. I actually like their broth more than TK Noodle or the New Tung Kee chains because this one had a stronger and more savory flavor without MSG! Presentation before mixing was really nice and then there was a bed of bean sprouts waiting to be discovered under the noodles. *Beef chow fun -- soooo delicious and nostalgic, I could eat this all day. The noodles are slippery without being too greasy. Plus there's a great vegetables/meat/noodle ratio! *Beef tripe w/ soy sauce -- a unique savory appetizer that can be paired with fried rice or plain white rice, spice lovers can indulge in the pepper slices in the pool of soy sauce. I saw another table order bo luc lac and y'all I was so shook by how huge that plate was XD def gonna order that next time I travel to Sac/Elk Grove area because there was so much meat! SERVICE: The staff were very friendly and quick with attending to my table's needs or individual requests (came here with my grandparents lol). Not all of them take orders, so you might need to wait a bit before someone can help you with that. BUT once your order is put in, the food comes out pretty quickly! PARKING: Pretty limited at the storefront, so you might have to park at the neighboring areas (also mini parking lots). read more

A staple and whole in the wall in the south sac area. Been eating here for over a decade and I can't keep gate anymore. Besides their Trieu Chow noodles they serve really chow funs, crispy noodles, and during dinner, the fried flounder, salt n pepper shrimps, and chicken wings are amongst some of the locals' favorite dishes here. Gets busy during the peak hours. The staff is really nice and accommodating. read more

I originally came here for Lollicup, but to my surprise there's a Lollibowl next door which I did not know as I was picking on the menu while at Lollicup to have this and that, but Lollicup said it's actually a side menu but you can directly order at Lollibowl next door. And you got me shoOOoooook right there! It's like a secret menu/secret restaurant behind Lollicup which I am not accustomed to. LOL! Anyways, long story short here are my thoughts about this place. Pros: -Friendly staff and also checks up on you when needed for refill on water without stalking you in a way like other establishments. If that makes sense! -The menu is easy to read, with photos provided, which is a HUGE PLUS! -From food/drinks ordering to the table, it was quite honestly fast maybe under 10 minutes on a full house. -The soup wasn't that tasty. Even when saucing it up with extra sauce. #SadFace, But other foods was FoodGASM to the max! -Food portion and price is soOOoo demure! ;) LOL! It's like inflation hasn't hit me compared to other establishments when dining in. Namm sayinn.. Cons: -Parking is super tight, ALWAYS full. -Bathroom is nasty and outdated. -There is no discount for Military personnel, Veterans, First responders, or seniors. Now the question is, will I be back? From time to time, off course, when I'm craving Asian Cuisine that is. Way better than Panda Express. LOL! read more

I got the Lollibowl Combo A1 with soup on the side. I wanted to try it with soup on the side since I have never done that before. I put chili hot sauce in the bowl and mixed it, and ate it as I drank soup on the side. It was delicious and flavorful. The noodles were very good and not mushy. Staff were quick to take our order and would check on whether we needed more water. There's a parking lot and restroom available. If I'm in the area, I'll definitely come back!! read more

Been a while since I ate here, and it brought back so many memories! I came here often when I was younger, and it tasted just like it used to. I like eating here because of the good vibes and yummy noodles. It was busy during lunch time, but service was very quick. We got hot tea instead of ice water because they said it was free of charge, which is a nice bonus! They serve big plates of food and I had to take home leftovers. The rice plate and pan fried noodles had lots of meat and veggies. Their combination rice noodle has a clean and unique broth, so I recommend giving it a try! read more

Lollibowl - Steak cubes/peppers stir-fry with red rice, combination rice noodles, and Singapore curry vermicelli. - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

It is quite a long drive from the East Bay to Sacramento especially to eat at this place as traffic and slowness just exacerbates the trip. Nonetheless, the food is decent. This location is like in a strip mall/plaza area and parking is a hit or a miss sometimes. There are other shops around it so you may or may not park directly in front of the restaurant. There is Lollicup that is literally separated by a bathroom in the middle lol. So once you finish eating you can order some smoothies or boba togo on the drive home. The inside is spacious with a lot of tables and booths. All the condiments, spoons, chopsticks, and dipping saucers are at the table. Service is sometimes a hit or a miss depending on how busy they are. Food in general is good and every pan-fried noodles or rice dish from the a la carte is a lot. It comes out fast too! Recommended Items that I would get are: A15. Seafood Noodle Soup with Thick Rice Noodles ( Small Bowl - $13.25) Even though it is a small bowl, it is very filling. Lots of fish fillet, fish cakes and fish balls along with lots of rice noodles. Condiments like hoisin sauce helps with the toppings and adds a little more flavor to the seafood noodle bowl. C2. XO Seafood Chow Fun ($15.25) Big plate of rice noodles and various seafood toppings. Can last you 2 meals unless you are really hungry. You can get it dry or wet, Do get it wet cause the sauce will help bring out more of the flavor and is easer to eat vs dry. The wok hay can be seen and you can take the smokey flavor it gives to the rice noodles. C11. XO Seafood Chow Mien ($15.25) Similar to C2 but this time with crispy and sauced egg noodles. D4. Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice ($15.25) When it comes out, you would think you made a mistake as it is a lot but a lot is good especially this one. Packed full of flavor every bite. Lots of bits of salted fish, chicken and egg mixed together with the fried rice. Also can last 2-3 meals worth. Be sure to add pepper to help balance out the salted fish flavor. J24 (Peking Spareribs) and J25 (Sweet and Sour Spareribs) at $15.95 each used to be our usual additional orders to the fried noodles/fried rice order to take home but we noticed each time we get it, the serving is less and less so we would not recommend getting this unfortunately. When we got it before, it is tasty and not overly sauced. read more

Food service good quality foods. Large selection of foods. They kept it pretty clean

My daughter was craving wide, flat fresh noodles, so we decided to dine here. The menu offers a wide selection, and I haven't tried an entrée I didn't like. The food is decent, and although prices have increased, they remain reasonable with generous portions. Service is quick, and the waitstaff are attentive, frequently refilling customers' water, which is a plus. There's also a connected boba shop, and we always make sure to order a drink to go. read more

A long, very long reviews overdue at this location. I've been eating here over 10 years but kept forget to review it. The manager/owner is very friendly and knows return customers very well. The foods here has been consistent with the flavor and the proportion, which are great. I remembered when a bowl of Hu Tieu Mi Combo was $5 back then and now with inflation is about $15. It's still good comparing to many other restaurants nearby which cost few $$ more. What else can I say except I'm still visiting here whenever we go to SF market or shopping within sacramento area. read more

Lollibowl - Yummy favorites along with Salty rice dish and chicken wings. - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Good and fast service. Both quantity and quality of food is high. Will come back. Place was crowded due to popularity and for good reason.

The "Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice" we ordered today turned out to be an absolute disappointment! The dish was so bland and dull looking, seriously lacking both fish and chicken, and most importantly - a distinctive salted fish flavor! In other words, this sad-looking dish resembles eating a large plate of unflavored steamed rice, mixed with chicken bits and largely missing salted fish pieces! In response to our comment, the lady boss dashed to our table and hotly argued that "we get is what we pay" and it was their "standard", at $14.50. She added that many customers knowingly ask for added flavor fish and pay more when placing the order! Seriously, what the lady boss calls a "standard" dish is "substandard", including her antagonistic and careless attitudes towards new customers! read more

Great food and super friendly staff. Been coming here for years. One of my favorite go to items are the salt baked chicken wings, A1 with fat noodles - soup style, and D1 (steak cube with red rice). If you have more than 4 people in your party, you got to try the beef chow fun- dry stir fried, this is my niece favorite dish. It's a pretty decent size dinning area that fills up pretty quickly. The largest party the dining area can fit is probably about 10 people. If you have a larger party then that, I would suggest calling in advance to see if you can reserve 2 large tables. I've ordered out more than I have dined in. It's a pretty busy plaza so parking is a bit crazy. If you're in the area, I highly recommend you give this place a try. read more

We haven't been here in 3 years. Like 2020 pandemic era. We brought my parents here today. Waited nearly 30 minutes to be seated. Pre-pandemic prices were below $10 on many items. Now same stuff is $13-15 and up. I get increases but not only that, they shrunk the bowl size. Double whammy. Higher prices AND smaller bowl and less toppings??! Big large bowls are now the medium. Seriously bruh?! Yes, less toppings TOO. 1-2 shrimp, pork, 2 fish balls etc. Super gougers and greedy owners. Nothing like before the pandemic when this was a definite go-to. Pretty sad that many eateries choose to take advantage of their customer base these days using the pandemic/supply chain/less business/insertwhateverlamereason to rake in more profits. I never usually leave followup reviews unless things have grossly changed (as in this case). Good thing is we as customers can choose with our wallets and not just accept this gouging and patron eateries that make reasonable and more modest increases only when necessary. This place's ship has sailed. There are a bountiful of similar options in the hundreds in Little Saigon to pick over this spot. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. read more

Authentic Chinese cuisine I recommend the salted fish chicken fried rice, beef with ginger and onion and the fried flounder fish.

I had lunch here and tried the salty fish fried rice, which was delicious. The steak cubes and peppers were just okay - there were more peppers than steak. The chicken wings were good. The Mango Yogurt drink was okay, nothing special. The server was attentive, and the ambiance was decent, although a bit cluttered inside. They should make some improvements to the dining area for a better experience. read more
