    Beef CF01. Beef with Vegetable Chow Fun, SP08. Hot and Sour Soup
    Ann H.

    I've dined at Shanghai Garden many years ago. I had forgotten that the quality of the food is good. I ordered from Door Dash the hot and sour soup and the dry style beef chow fun. The soup was really good with the perfect balance of spicy and sour. Most places use too much vinegar. I could taste the "wok hei" in the beef chow fun that definitely satisfied my craving. I will surely dine in on my next visit.

    The is cozy Chinese restaurant in East Sac across McKinley Park. I've been here for both dine-in and take out. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating for a large group if needed. Doesn't take long to be seated or have your order taken. The staff have been nice and the food has been tasty. Recently I got the Fish with Salt and Pepper to go and in my opinion you can get more food for a cheaper price at other places. I don't think this restaurant is bad at all or "not worth it", I just think if you are willing to go a bit further to a different restaurant you can get a better deal. I'd suggest checking them out. I really like their wonton soup - the wontons were flavorful and I liked the inclusion of the veggies.

    Parked across the street as we were signing documents that evening - getting out of the car we could smell the delicious aroma of so many different spices coming together. It was definitely a no-brainer deciding to eat dinner here. The food did not disappoint! Pictured is the beef chow fun, egg drop soup, honey walnut shrimp, and shrimp fried rice. Everything was delicious!!! Cooked with love! So flavorful, not oily and well portioned. Staff was friendly! Had a full house and line of to-go orders. They checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. Located on the corner of Alhambra & H. A small parking lot with lots of street parking. Will definitely return to enjoy again!

    Here is my two cents on the quality quantity and cost of this restaurant... This was delivered in a timely matter, but the driver could not follow up my simple instructions on locating my apartment .. Grubhub was responsible for a delivery. I ordered hot and sour soup , Szcechquan style chow mein. Barbecue pork fu yung. The hot and sour soup was just mediocre at best ... the chow mein had maybe if at best 2 ounces of meat it was mostly noodles, onions and bell peppers. There was hardly any hint of spicy whatsoever.... I was given three pancakes of some matter I had no idea what it actually was. .. I was also given a soy sauce, thicken with cornstarch infused with some onions.. Fortunately, GrubHub refunded my... they fail to explain what this meal actually was and it was definitely not worth no $17.. I do not recommend this restaurant. It is over price and mediocre address. .

    The cucumber salad at this place has been on my mind for the last 4 days. In a desperate attempt to…read morerecreate it, I used too much garlic and made a giant mess in my kitchen. So I'm planning my next trip here this week so I can enjoy the amazing cucumber salad (so fresh, crunchy and garlicky), their pepper beef clay pot (sizzling rice at the bottom for the win and big portions), their spicy tofu (umm what?!? So crispy) and their awesome skewers (the pork belly is my favorite). The space is small, so if you're planning on dining in during peak times, you may want a back up or take it to go as they only have a handful of tables inside and a few tables outside. There is parking but it is shared with other business so can get busy. The service is wonderful! The hostess/waitress was very friendly and everything came out relatively quick. The clay pot does take some time (they need to cook up the rice to get that awesome crunchy bottom) so place your order for that first, and then look at the appetizers and skewers as they come out fast. This was my first trip but will not be my last to Da Fei Ge!

    I came here before on a weekday and it was mostly empty. The food was good and even though you…read morecould tell it was a mostly chinese-speaking restaurant, it wasnt too difficult to order. It was nice enough that I tried to come here on a weekend night and it was packed full of families which is great but probably where I should have thought about it more. We went up to the counter and were told to wait a few minutes. I saw that a large table was clearing up so I didn't mind waiting. During this time a group came up behind us and I thought they were after us. One of the server waved in our general direction after cleaning up and splitting the table, so I thought they were gesturing to us since it has already been 10 minutes of waiting. Wrong, it was to the group behind us. Maybe it was communicated in mandarin that they had a reservation, I'm not sure. I waited for the next empty table, which was also taken by yet another group that magically appeared behind us as if they knew they were in line. I decided to leave after this. My issue is that I looked and talked to the staff multiple times and at no point, did they indicate there was a waitlist, nor did they take my name, or anything about people in front of us. It was really frustrating because being told it would be a few minutes set the wrong expectation. This is not the only place to get skewers so if you're left confused where you are in line, just come another weekday, speak mandarin, or go somewhere else like I did

The rice wrapper was thin and the shrimp was meaty and fresh and had a good bite. The beef balls and shui mai were disappointing. The textures were too soft and didn't have much flavor. They were more like beef and shui mai paste. The sticky rice was good. I loved that they had salty egg yolks in them. The eggplant with shrimp paste is fried. This is different from what I'm used it and it felt too heavy. Overall, I'd go back but I'm also searching for other options. 8/10.

We ordered a ton of dishes, probably more than two people really needed it, but we wanted to make sure we got to taste some of our favorites. Overall, the dim sum is OK. My husband and I lived in the Bay Area for a while before moving to Davis for school, so our standards are pretty high. Unfortunately this is not going to be my new go to. Although the flavors of the food were pretty OK, we found everything to be really soft. Our shrimp and chive dumplings were literally disintegrating and my chicken feet were too soft. The sticky rice, however, and the tripe were delicious sui mai, and ha gao were pretty good, with the sui mai being pretty juicy. We paid $100 for 10 dishes! I know prices have gone up everywhere but this felt pretty steep. Overall, I don't think we'd come back. I would rather go to South Sacramento and eat dim sum there and then get my Asian grocery shopping done. Restaurant itself looked like a standard Chinese dim sum restaurant. Nothing to write home about.

We tried the - Mongolian bbq ribs - spring rolls - crab Rangoon - honey walnut shrimp - salt and pepper calamari - pork fried rice - Mongolian beef - Orange chicken - chow mein - green beans Everything was delicious. 10/10. Highly recommend the honey walnut shrimp and salt and pepper calamari. For our leftovers, we even had another server who kindly packed our food. Idk when we last had that happen at a restaurant. It was so nice! The interior decoration and ambiance was very cozy and elegant at the same time. We also tried the banana cream and chocolate cream - and these were so yummy!

Thank you Frank Fat's team (including Luis) for making our dining experience here one-of-a-kind!! We'll be back for sure. We hope you continue to be very successful! Everyone go support them.

Despite there being endless selections in Sacramento sometimes the American Chinese options are .... bleh ... They are either too oily. Mediocre taste. Overpriced. It's hard to find one that really stands out. Recently my coworkers and I all pitched in on takeout from here for Lunar New Year and ordered five dishes as takeout. One of my coworkers was the one who recommended this spot. Let me just say the food was incredible. The seafood chow mein was the standout dish out of everything. Loaded with octopus tentacles, scallops, shrimp. Feel like half the time you get seafood options these days they skimp out but this place did not disappoint. The fried rice was a little more unique than I've personally tried before with pieces of beef and cabbage. But still very tasty. And the pork dishes we got including the sweet and sour were just incredible. One thing I do want to mention was some pieces of the pork did have a bone attached, but I honestly didn't mind it much. The flavor made it up for it. Also inside of this place looks very modern, clean. Since we only got takeout I can't say for certain service for sit down but ordering and getting our food was simple. The staff were very kind and friendly. Again, THANK GOD I finally have a good Chinese food option. No more oily salty food or Panda Express.

The bad - the salt and pepper fish had a great batter, but I feel they're battered too much, and the actual fish piece inside is tiny. My house chow mein didn't have a single shrimp in it. Lots of beef, which was good, but the char smell from the beef was the only thing you could taste on the noodles. It's almost like the chef cooked the noodles on whatever the beef was cooked on. The noodles we had ordered from here a month ago had very good flavor, but not a one note beef flavor. There was a lot of beef and chicken in the house chow mein, but zero shrimp means the cook either forgot or they didn't have them and thought it would be ok to add more beef. Either way, I paid extra for my selection, and didn't get it. Am I Pissy? Yes. Am I honest? Also a Yes. 3 stars this trip, probably my last.
