    Walnut Shrimp
    Alex N.

    Small Chinese restaurant featuring the classic/typical dishes; most likely for take out but has a few dine-in tables Food: Chow fun with beef - 4/5 - pretty good version House chow fun - 5/5 - nice combination of chicken, pork and shrimp with the wide rice noodle Duong Chau fried rice - 3/5 - way mediocre Salted fish chicken fried rice - 4/5 - not bad but needs more of the salted fish General Tso's chicken - 3.5/5 - generous portion; flavor is strong but not how I usually like it Walnut shrimp - 5/5 - really tasty and comes with shrimp crackers Ambience: Take out restaurant with small dining area available Service: Fast, efficient, friendly

    Mongolian Beef & 16 oz. Steam Rice

    Found this place through a buddy and at first glance it seemed like a nice spot. Lots of parking due to it being in a plaza. The food is quickly prepared and good. Their pricing seems to be of any asian takeout. I usually order online and they're always finished before I arrive (8-14 minute drive from where I live) which is surprising since other restaurants take longer than what their initial expected time is in which case I've waited for 10+ minutes. Haven't had a problem with this spot and they're always good. Just wished they were open a little later in the night so I could grab something to eat when I'm off from work. Nonetheless it's a good spot that isn't crowded!

    8 Foil Wrapped Chicken

    Huge portions. Fried rice was very mushy and as my friend stated, "That rice doesn't look dark/cooked enough for me ..." General chicken tasted pretty generic, like on par with Raley's grocery store Chinese food but it's good. Salt & Pepper wings are great however. My family always orders the party trays of this item for parties. Be aware that there's a $100 limit when ordering Door Dash for delivery

    Orange Chicken Lunch Special
    Jonathan C.

    The food here was not bad. I tried their orange chicken and their kung pao chicken lunch specials. The orange chicken here was decent and I liked the chow mein it was served on. The kung pao chicken wasn't as flavorful as I'd have liked and the fried rice was just okay (could use a little more vegetables or egg mixed in).

    General Tao Chicken Lunch Special
    Avnik C.

    Definitely not coming back, I was so disappointed with lunch special today, it took them literally 5 mins to get me my food. Thought the service was fast but no they probably had it pre cooked and just warmed it up for me! The chow mein was so chewy and had some spots cold The rice was not even mixed evenly And the meat YUCK like a rock SMH waited my money

    Who does this to Chow Mein?  It's abuse!
    Patti T.

    OMG!! I wrote a review back in May about my order being in a sweet, sticky pink sauce and that it was horrible. I just ordered pot stickers (which are decent) Mongolian beef because I didn't want the sticky pink sauce and tomato beef chow mien. Well guess what? The chow mien came with the sweet, sticky pink sauce? Who does this to classic Chinese food? I need to call the food police to report abuse! I ordered it on their delivery service which provides no descriptions and no photos of the dishes. Spin the wheel with this place. If you like sweet, sticky pink sauce on EVERYTHING! then this place is for you. Lordy I wish I had another delivery option near me.

    Kung Pao Chicken this dish was mostly soggy  vegetables but it was hot n spicey.

    I always get the dinner combo which is good but often the side is a small amount compared to the chow mein/ rice.

    I was excited to try this spot as it states it was established in 1939 with some great history…read more Personally for me the interior seemed a bit out dated with low lighting. However, our server was incredibly well informative and friendly. We ordered and enjoyed our meal. Food comes out family style and we were incredibly full. My only criticism was that the orange chicken seemed to have no crunch. We had vegetarian tofu and mushroom dish that had a great flavor profile. I especially loved the fried rice as it tasted similar to the cooking profile of a Benihana style fried rice.

    In honor of dear dad, we decided to check out a famous spot located next to the Sacramento state…read morecapitol called Franks Fats. Circa 1939 and stamped on the cement at the front door. This is a famous Chinese food spot for local politicians for lunch and NBA stars and now the Oakland A baseball team. There is no back door or underground tunnel entrance or exit. Our server Yee was super nice and he liked us so much that he gave us a free slice of their famous banana pie. This pie is made fresh everyday. The pastry chef has 2 sous chefs to help. Their orders can be up to 300 pies a day! This very flaky thin crust with the beautiful layered at an angle with a fresh whipped cream topping. We wanted to try it but didn't want to get super full. We ended up finishing the complimentary piece of pie. We also had the wok fried pork spareribs that had this lovely seasoned jalapeño with that crispy bite but be careful of the bones. It reminded us of chicken wings. That crunchy crispy outside with perfectly cooked meat on the inside. The tip was to use the hot mustard and ketchup to dip it in. They give you a plate of various sauces from mild to super spicy. The sweet and sour soup is also made fresh every day with chunky vegetables with lots of flavors. We had the shrimp dumplings which were freshly made. The crab rancons were our favorite with chili sauce. These beautifully star shaped treasures were our favorites. We were super full. Parking was available due to no games going on. The street has parking but next door there is a valet lot for 12 dollars. If you're ever in the area, this is a must try experience. The place was packed but they let us stay and close the place down! Hence, this is why they've been open since 1939. Mahalo Timothy O'Connor for the recommendation! Loved the Buddha belly by the bar area up top.

    Absolutely delicious Chinese food! One of the best in the US. I'm also biased because I order off…read moremenu items. We usually call in 1 week in advance and order the coral shrimp and salt and pepper lobster. Their gourd melon clam soup is sooooo good. So is the double golden fried rice. These are our absolute must orders. We have enjoyed everything so far but the must order items are just delightful. They're very good about swapping out fresh plates. The servers are all very very very nice and attentive. The outside is unassuming but the inside is very nice and clean. Even the bathrooms are very clean. They play Chinese pop so I get to listen to good music too. They only have beer but you can byob and they'll provide the glassware too. I can't wait to be back again!

    Taste of original located near land Park in Sacramento, is definitely a hidden gem…read more If you haven't been here, you definitely need to get this on your radar and must try list! If you have been here, then you know what a treat it is! The exterior of the building is completely unassuming, and is located in a want to be strip mall that most people would probably drive past. There's plenty of free parking, and the restaurant is immaculate. My gal pals and I ordered so much food, and everything was absolutely delicious! Service is quiet and polite, and feels very respectful. The diners definitely match the restaurant vibe and it makes for an unusual but very welcomed, intimate dining experience Steamed rice noodle roll: this is an absolute must try. The noodles are light and don't leave you feeling heavy. The filling is lightly seasoned, and each bite is the soft little flavor pop. We ordered the shrimp/chive, and the pork. Both delicious, but if I was choosing one, I would choose the pork. The portions are very generous as we found when the chow fun was brought to the table. Heaps of veggies, meat, and noodles and tasty sauce. It's truly a meal by itself, but absolutely is more than shareable. The clay pot: we ordered this with duck and pork, and the portions were also very generous!. The duck had perfect crispy skin, and the pork was tender and flavorful. The rice that was nestled beneath the meat and veggies had that nice crisp bottom, and yet was still light and fluffy. The garlic long beans: they were crispy and almost al dente, but very flavorful and have I mentioned how generous the portions are?! The honey garlic spareribs we're just delicious! Definitely more bone than meat, but the flavor was there and you just have to come to the realization that it's OK to use your fingers in lieu of the chopsticks or fork. Prices are pretty reasonable, and this is definitely a place that you can dine on your own, go with friends, family, or even date night. It's not a dressy place. It's pretty casual, which makes it easy to pop in and enjoy a great meal!
