There's a nice variety of Chinese and Vietnamese shops along this busy boulevard. You can find restaurants, markets, salons, jewelers, and other Asian owned businesses. As a result of this pandemic, we have not seen any flyers or ads for Lunar New Year presentations. Maybe before covid, they had family events for the community to ring in the New Year, but likely this year will be different. Please check your local listing for information. Pleased to report that we found everything we needed :) Chuc mung nam moi! Happy Year of the Ox!

Added bonus: They're family and pet friendly. They offer free doggy treats for those of you who visit with your fore legged fur babies. The doggy treats are in a labeled jar on the counter and there are a couple of pup watering stations that I also noticed, one outside and one inside the tasting room. Inside the tasting room are a couple of enormous flat screens with NFL games turned low with subtitles on, which is nice so you can chit chat with friends w/o yelling. The vibe is chill and I'll definitely return in the future.

The Best Pizza in Sacramento Area !!! Quality meats , veggies and the crust is Amazing!!read more

Recently tried pizzas (Margarita and Combo) and some Ravioli from this Roma's location…read more Overall, I like the pizzas from here, but for some reason the crust was very hard and nearly inedible the last trip. Nonetheless, overall good-tasting, quality pizzas. I enjoyed the raviolis. I will say the garlic bread served with it isn't anything special, but still nice to have it to pair with the dish. All-in-all, a solid spot.

Wow! Taste of Land Park was such a wonderful time!…read more So, I just relocated to Sacramento from the Bay Area this year. I heard about this event in my 'hood from little signs posted around. Not sure where else they advertised, but there was a pretty healthy crowd. I heard from one of the vendors that over 600 people showed up! And one of them was fabulous Yelper Karen K. (+ her husband :) who I got to meet for the first time - pretty sure I heard people raving about her fly sunglasses all over the event ;) I love food tasting events like these and have been to several in the Bay Area. I gotta say, Taste of Land Park can compete with the best of them. Not only was the entry price cheaper ($45!) than the tickets usually are for this sort of thing, the portions were HEFTY at every vendor, there was a huge variety of food available and the vibe was super chill! It really felt like a neighborhood event - it wasn't in the middle of Land Park, which made a huge difference. It was just on 10th street in the middle of people's houses, which gave it a secluded block party feel. Shoutout to the band playing - they were pretty legit and had a horn section! Also, no long lines!!! A chronic problem at these events is that you end up waiting in huge lines at each vendor, and by the time you're through the line, they've run out of food anyway. Lol. Not the case at ToLP - vendors were super well prepared & generous. Pretty sure I could've gone for seconds at almost every vendor if I wasn't so freakin' stuffed after the first go around! Ernesto's Mexican even gave away free tote bags to bring food home with!! I'm not much of a drinker, but there were also a lot of wine tasting options available. I only sampled one glass of wine (told you I'm not a big drinker) and it was awesome. They also had a local craft vendor section, but the prices there were a little out of control. One pillow was as much as the entry ticket to Taste of Land Park! Lmao. Passed on those... I didn't see a sign/brochure with all of the vendors listed, so here are the vendors I remember: + Vic's Ice Cream: Man, they even gave each person a cone. They had four flavors, I had the raspberry ribbon which was delicious & my new flavor pick when I go there. I need to give Vic's major props as I just went to an ice cream social for the Belle Cooledge Library that they also sponsored. Gotta love a business that gives back to the community! + Raleys: Had a serve yourself bar with fruit, multiple desserts, cheeses, olives and flavored water. They had a blackberry & goat cheese crostini that was one of my favorites of the event. + Nugget: They had HUGE portions of grapes! Also a huge variety of cheeses, desserts and some selections from their deli section. The supermarkets really turned up!! + Ernesto's Mexican: Like I said earlier, they gave out tote bags which was awesome. I really liked their rice! + Burgess Burgers & BBQ: One of the most popular vendors at the event. Despite their popularity, they never had a huge line and served people super quickly! I didn't try any of their BBQ but their potato salad was REALLY good and the coleslaw had a great flavor too. + Selland's Market: Really enjoyed the noodle salad here. They had a couple other salads to choose from. + Freeport Bakery: Always a favorite!! They had a really huge variety, I had the fruit tart and buttercream cake which were delicious! They encouraged people to take multiple cakes which was so generous! + Masullo's Pizza: Instead of pizza, they served their bread with a variety of dipping sauces. Good choice and great flavors! + Can't remember the name of the bistro, but they served a salmon dish that seemed to be the crowd favorite. It was a delicious & refreshing choice for the hot day :) + Oh yeah, and someone served a very spicy olive pasta... can't remember who, but it was good. Sorry, since I didn't try most of the wine, I don't remember who was there. Lol. Now that I think about it, there wasn't a single bad dish served. The food was really on point! Taste of Land Park was a great intro to Sacramento food & a wonderful way to show off the neighborhood. I'll definitely be returning next year! See you there Karen :)

Got my Hawaiian BBQ and a gift bag…read more I got the mixed BBQ, mac side and ordered 2 extra Spam musubi. The chicken was juicy, lots of flavor and tender. The ribs were super delicious! The Spam musubi was excellent. Believe it or not, one of my favorite is the layer of cabbage on the bottom of the meat. The cabbages soaks up all the dressing that drips down and it is soooooooooooooo, good! They really pack in a lot of food; I will have left over for a few days! The guy that took my order was super nice and friendly. Good to know there is such a good Hawaiian BBQ by my house that I can go to now.
