If you visit for dim sum or dinner you know exactly what I mean. Doesn't bother me but might bother someone else. But honestly it's pretty typical of most high volume dim sum spots.

After waiting about 20 minutes, our name was finally called. We immediately went to the hostess stand, only to be told we were "too late" and that our table had already been given away. Mind you, barely a minute had passed. When we asked how we were late, no one could give us a clear answer. The entire experience felt disorganized and chaotic. The atmosphere was stressful, staff seemed overwhelmed, and nobody appeared to know what was going on. After the way we were treated, we decided to leave. If you're looking for good dim sum, save yourself the frustration and go to Ming Dynasty instead. The food is far better, the service is organized, and they've been doing it right for years.

It's a small shop and the line goes out the door. Got here around 10:30 a.m., and they already sold out on some items. It is a little overwhelming on what to order so decide before you get in line. They have pen and paper to help you write down the items you want or type it on your phone to make the order easier. FOOD: -Chicken feet - 4/5 -BBQ Pork bun - 5/5, these things ARE LOADED with filling -Curry Chicken bun - 5/5, never had this combo but LOVE the flavor -PorkSui Mai - 4/5, big pieces and simple -Mochi bbq biscuit, 5/5, I love a glutinous chewy mochi -Fried Pork dumplings, 5/5, this is my FAV! the ratio of chewiness and fried outside is BOMB. -Sticky rice chicken, 5/5 BOMB. The rice is not overcooked and amazingly seasoned. I will definitely come back!

ABC Bakery has been a favorite of mine for decades. I grew up going here, and years later I brought…read moremy own boys in to pick up snacks after school. Even though I no longer live in Sacramento, I still make a point to stop by whenever I'm in town to pick up some of our longtime favorites. My must-haves are the pineapple baos, char siu baos, BBQ pork baos, shu mai, and egg tarts. Everything is consistently good and keeps me coming back after all these years. This is definitely more of a pick-up-and-go spot than somewhere you come to sit and eat. The bakery is clean, and the staff is always friendly, efficient, and keeps things moving. Prices have gotten a little high, but for me, the quality and nostalgia are still worth it. It can get very busy, with the line sometimes stretching outside, and popular items do sell out. I usually try to go earlier in the day or call ahead and place an order for pickup. After all these years, ABC Bakery is still one of my favorite Sacramento stops and a place that holds a lot of great memories for me and my family.

Ordered the broccoli and beef, salt and pepper chicken, and tomato beef chow mein with the thicker noodles. Every dish was fresh made and tasty.

Portions are good, food is tasty and not sauce laden. We'll be back!

Adj: dependably and predictably ok Chinese food…read more We've been coming here for Chinese meals both sit down and take out from when they used to be Holiday Villa. That was decades ago. About 10 or so years ago, they changed ownership or rather they went through what seems like several changes and then they became Lucky Jade which is kind of a chain but not exactly. I recall at one time, the workers wear shirts that look kind of like uniforms with another store's name on the back with address and phone numbers, so apparently Lucky Jade is owned by people who also own a few other Chinese restaurants but not by the same exact name. In any case, Chinese food can be pretty formulaic, so it's not really that hard to have consistency as long as the cooks know how to make common standard dishes, the taste generally would not be too different. This is true for Lucky Jade. We had take out recently and got a chow fun, a chow mein, and a broccoli beef. The first was quite tasty, on the oily side but I've not found any place able to make it not too oily and still yummy so it's necessary for this dish. Then there's the chow mein, this one was not good. Kind of non descript and the oil tasted oil (reused). Not too greasy which is my biggest complaint of chow mein from elsewhere like New Lai Wah, but again, this did not taste fresh. Finally, the broccoli beef was overcooked. Broccoli was not quite mushy but almost, still a little bit of crunch but you can see they were turning yellow. And the beef was so chemically tenderized (hopefully only with baking soda and not worse) bc it was also almost mushy. Wasn't cheap either, but on par with other Chinese restaurants around here for take out. I think I'll just tell my in laws they can just order from Bel Air Hot Chinese food deli on Florin Rd which is in the same plaza and they'd pay less and the food would actually taste better with fresher oil (probably not reused) and better quality beef that doesn't need to be tenderized to a questionable quality. Overall, not too good.

This is most likely the Finest Cantonese Dim Sum and Seafood in Sacramento.

It was lunchtime prime time and I was instantly seated and carts came right over to me, which is so amazing. I love that this place still has carts! When the one item I wanted, wasn't on a cart they specially ordered it for me and brought it out pretty quickly. The decor is still bare bones no real ambience whatsoever. But that's OK because they have carts and that makes it all worthwhile. Now for the sad news.... The Dim Sum is just not that good anymore. I always really enjoyed having the black bean spareribs and these ribs and have a couple black beans in them are just devoid a flavor. There's a little bit of jalapeño flavor, but I would never order these again. The pan fried shrimp and chive dumplings were very stale tasting. The inside was perfect consistency and ratios, but the outside noodle was dried and chewy and just not good. I also got the steam steamed then pan fried pork and vegetable buns, which are normally to die for good here, but oh-my, they were just awful it taste like eating cardboard. The inside was OK but outside was so bad and so stale tasting that I just was left with a bad taste in my mouth. Don't think I'll be returning anytime soon, which is really sad.

I ordered only the asparagus shrimp to see if it was still the same. I immediately noticed a major difference: the portion was much smaller, the shrimp were noticeably smaller, and the asparagus pieces were thin and underwhelming. The flavor was disappointing and nothing like what the restaurant used to serve. Although the remodel is new, the dining area still feels dark and uninviting. Based on the taste, quality, and portion size, I can no longer recommend New China Restaurant for those expecting what it once offered. One thing that I will say's remained the same is Service. They take your order aren't friendly and get you out. 1 star.

Local hidden gem for dim sum in Midtown!!…read more All-day, made-to-order Cantonese dim sum and classic stir-fry dishes, instead of the traditional dim sum cart service. Parking: One of the few spots in Midtown Sacramento with a dedicated private parking lot for customers, which is a big plus! The dining room also has a fun interactive fish tank. I really like that they make everything to order. Since the dim sum doesn't sit on a heated cart going around the restaurant, the food comes out piping hot and full of juice. The restaurant has a relaxed neighborhood-staple vibe and doesn't have the chaotic feeling of some of the bigger dim sum halls. Portions are also pretty big, and the dim sum pieces are generous enough to share. We ordered some regular dim sum staples: har gow, dumplings, porridge, taro, etc. One of the stand-out dishes was the shaomai. They are packed really densely with thick pieces of pork and shrimp instead of a lighter, paste-like filling. The egg tart was another favorite. Good size, flaky and warm crust, with a perfectly silky, warm custard center. The scallion pancake (green onion pancake) is also a must-try appetizer. It has a really light, crispy and flaky texture. The only thing I thought was a little off was the skin on the har gow and Shanghai dumplings. It was a bit thicker than I personally prefer. Service: Fast and friendly. They kept checking on our group: clearing used dishes, refilling the tea pot, and bringing the bills when we were ready. Price: Very competitive! Overall, a really nice neighborhood dim sum spot in Midtown. I would definitely come back, especially when I want hot, freshly made dim sum without the busy cart-service experience.

However, I can still speak to the food quality and overall ambiance. My favorite dish was the Peking duck--it's honestly one of the best Peking ducks I've ever had. The buns were steamed perfectly, and the duck meat was tender while the skin was crispy. The sauce really ties it all together. We also had fish maw soup, a clay pot dish with shrimp and vegetables, chicken and rice, bok choy, and several other dishes. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared, and I would happily reorder most of the items we tried. The ambiance was pretty much what you'd expect from a traditional Chinese-American banquet restaurant. It had the large round tables with lazy Susans to accommodate big groups, along with a stage off to the side for events like wedding receptions and other celebrations. This is a great spot for a large family gathering or celebration. The food was delicious, and the space was well-suited for hosting big groups.
