The whole dining space looks really stunning and comfortable for dining in. It was amazing watching the chef cook in the open kitchen! I ordered the Sichuan shrimp combo fried rice and Mongolian beef. The Sichuan shrimp combo fried rice was perfectly wok‑hei, well‑seasoned, plenty of plump, juicy shrimp in every bite. Mongolian beef was absolutely fantastic, tender slices of beef coated in rich, savory‑sweet sauce, not overly greasy at all. Every dish tasted fresh and full of flavor. The staff provided excellent, attentive service, very polite and quick to respond to requests. Service was friendly and efficient. This place is definitely on my to go list, highly recommend stopping by!

We ordered the Mu Shu pork which was to die for!!!!!! 100000000% recommend. A little sweet a little nutty, and blasting with flavor. We also order the lake beef soup . Now if you don't like cilantro I highly suggest getting something else. Or at least order it with out cilantro cuz that is a lot. The potsticker are ok honestly nothing special about them but they were decent. I can't wait to come back and try many different options.

What made it worse was the service. Once the tip was automatically added, it felt like there was no incentive to actually provide good service. Our server never came back to ask if we needed anything, never checked to see if everything was okay, and basically disappeared. This is exactly why I don't like mandatory gratuities. A tip should reflect the level of service you receive, not be automatically charged regardless of the experience. In my experience, guaranteed tips can lead to lazy service, and unfortunately that's exactly what happened here. I won't be coming back.

Reliable, Well-Executed Korean Spot That Holds Its Own…read more We were staying nearby for a soccer tournament and originally planned to grab quick food from KP International Market, but they didn't have what we were looking for. We pivoted to this place and I was initially suspicious of the 4.5-star rating--I adjusted my expectations knowing we were in the Sacramento area, but after scanning photos and reviews, we took the gamble. I'm happy to report it was worth it. If this restaurant were in the Bay Area, it would still make my regular rotation. The Highlights: Well-Balanced Banchan: The side dishes were properly seasoned and varied. They hit the right balance of kid-friendly options (broccoli and bean sprouts) alongside traditional spicy, sweet, and sour profiles. Solid, Reliable Food Execution: We ordered the LA Galbi, ox bone soup (seolleongtang), sundubu, and dolsot bibimbap. Every dish arrived clean, well-presented, and with authentic, appropriate flavors. While no single dish blew us away as "mind-blowing," every single one was very reliable, and I would comfortably re-order all of them. Portions & Environment: Portions are very reasonable--leaning toward generous. The dining area was clean and well-kept. It's a dependable, high-floor spot. If you're traveling along I-50 between the Bay Area and Tahoe, or in this part of Sacramento, it's an easy recommendation and definitely worth a stop.

We received our Tom Yum soup before our rice arrived, so we waited to eat it. One of the ladies noticed we hadn't started eating and came over a few times to check if everything was okay. She wanted to make sure we were happy with our meal, which I really appreciated. My favorite dishes were the Thai papaya salad, Tom Yum soup, rad na, and the pad see ew. We ordered both the papaya salad and Tom Yum soup at the "fire spicy" level (I believe it's level 4). They were extremely spicy but still so good. Every dish came in generous portions and was well seasoned. The volcano chicken was fun to watch with its flaming presentation, but the chicken itself was a bit dry for my taste. The pumpkin curry also needed more flavor as well. Overall, I really enjoyed the food here.

This place was surprisingly good with big portions. Will definitely come again to try other dishes…read more Food: - Spicy Wontons: spice level was perfect for enjoyment. It was good but the pepper had a hint of burnt so it gave a bitter taste to the dish. - Salt & Pepper Calamari: Not bad but not the best. It was fresh but may have been overcooked or cooked too fast since it was a little tough. - Salt & Pepper Shrimp: Flavorful and was better than the calamari. Flour coating was not too thick so it was enjoyable. - Beef & Broccoli: Broccoli were cooked well. They had a nice crunch. The dish was saucey but was not as flavorful as I expected. Also the sauce was not as thick as well. It was more running. - Fried Rice: It was good but not something to rave about. - Chicken Chow Mein: The kids loved the chow mein. It was better than expected. It had a light flavor that made the dish taste delicious. The noodles were not chewy, tough, or too soft. It was also not lathered in oil. As for the chicken pieces, they were tender and easy to chew. Service: Very friendly and attentive. They also welcoming and observant. That made things easy for us so we didn't have to ask for anything.

Hearty, flavorful, and comforting, just like a good homemade Mexican soup should be. I've also enjoyed their wet burrito smothered in green sauce, a tamale without the red sauce on top, and a side of tamalito, a delicious sweet tamale! The perfect little treat to round out the meal. Everything is packed with flavor and keeps this hungry dino coming back for more! Now, this dino has traveled and experienced Casa Bonita in Colorado, and I'd call El Tapatío Citrus Heights' own little version! It's nowhere near as big or elaborate, but it has that same fun, immersive atmosphere. The colorful Mexican decor gives the place so much character, making you feel like you've been transported straight to Mexico. Pair that with authentic food, and you've got a dining experience that's more than just a meal! Rex Tip: Come hungry on weekend mornings because they offer a Mexican breakfast buffet! There are so many delicious, authentic dishes to choose from, including freshly handmade tortillas! Just be prepared for a line because this place is popular, and for good reason. We've happily waited our turn because the food is absolutely worth it! A little taste of Mexico right here in Citrus Heights that's definitely worth digging into! 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex!

Got chips and salsa right when I sat down, but it was about 10 minutes before anyone came to take my order. Food came out in about 8 minutes after ordering though. I got the two steak tacos meal which came with refried beans and cilantro rice. The beans were actually a highlight for me, flavorful and piping hot. The tacos were decent overall and the steak itself was definitely the strong point, but the red onions weren't finely chopped and that was throwing me off a little. Overall not a bad spot if you're in the area and want some Mexican food.

It's some of the most delicious, authentic italian food we've experienced in Sacramento. The place was at about half capacity on a friday night, but plenty busy as the night went on. We had a delicious white wine and started with the sausage and mushroom flatbread, which was incredible, but on the small side. This turned out to be the perfect portion for us, as the main dishes were all very filling and had incredible flavors. Seriously, each dish had something that gave it a unique flavor, whether it was specific herbs or a type of tomato. I never thought I would ever be making the trek to Fair Oaks for an italian place, but yeah. We will for sure be back!
