Ordered through Door Dash to just do a pick up. I ordered the Crispy Pork. It went pretty fast because when I got there it was ready. I snacked a few in the car on the way home. You can see in my photos, you'll see I ate about 1/4 of it. Once I got home I tasted the powder container with the pork. The powder tasted like lemon pepper mix. I am not quite sure but it did have a zest flavor. I really like it. It's pretty pricy but I don't blame them In this economy. But overall it was worth it. Love it and I'm coming back for more z. Maybe I'll try roast duck next time.

Heard good things about this place and wanted to try. The place is a to go restuarant. There are no chairs and tables. There is a kiosk to place your order or you can order at the counter. Once you place your order and pay for your items. You just wait for them to call your number. The wait varies, I waited for about 15 mins. Things are made to order. The roast items are already made ahead of time, but they have to prepare it for you. I'm sure the lines can get long. I ordered a few dim sum items, a whole roast duck, and some crispy skin pork belly. In order to purchase the pork belly, you will need to order a pound or more. They don't sell anything less than a pound. The roast duck was really good. The duck had a lot of flavor. I really liked it. I would order again. As for the roasted crispy pork belly, I would pass on that. The meat was dry. The crispy skin was not that crispy. It was bad. Not worth the $18 per pound. The dim sum items were mostly good. The only item I did not like was the pan fried taro cake. It had an oily after taste and it was greasy. It tasted like they used old oil to pan fry the taro. It was not good at all. The steamed bows were really good. The char siu was moist and not dry at all. Had a good flavor. The bun part was warm and soft. Good consistency. Everything else that we tried was pretty good. I would definitely come back for a roast duck and the egg tarts. Their egg tarts were really good. Hopefully, the second time I come, their food consistency is there, still good.

This place is mainly a take out location. There really isn't set up to dine inside. My wife went there to get us some food. She was in the mood for a pork bun. I also wanted to try their roasted duck , so that too. She ended up coming back with food over $100 dollars When she arrived there was no big line to order. She had no problem ordering but while she waited more people started lining up to get food. She didn't preorder , she just got there and picked stuff out. You can order online or before and have your order ready when you pick it up. We ended up with the Yankee Signature Roasted Duck . The whole duck at $36.25. It was so flavorful and I loved it. Lots of meat with some boney parts to. I certainly would get it again. Duck is my favorite. Now the pork belly wasn't very crispy. I don't we will get this again. Plus you have to get a pound or more. They wouldn't sell a half pound. So pass The Fluffy BBQ Pork Bun. The meat was nicely filled and yummy. I liked them to. Now the wife ordered the baked pork bun and it was different than I am used to. The bun had some herbs or something in the actual bun part. It had a different flavor which we both enjoyed. Another great one to get. The pork and shrimp Siumai was just ok . nothing different that other places. The Celery Shrimp Hagow was nice. The skin wasn't think and I liked it. Good flavor. Their Chicken Sticky Rice Lotus Wrap was filled nicely. There was filling inside the rice and outside along the wrap part .Loved it. The Baked Custard Egg Tart. Wow it was really creamy. It wasn't cooked all the way and gave it a runny middle which was a surprise but made it taste even better. The crust was the flaky type not the hard kind. This one was a plus. I would totally go again. The food was pretty good. And a new place in Elk Grove. Loved it

This spot is basically a quick grab and go dim sum place. When you walk in, it's really bright, clean, and spacious, but there's no indoor seating at all so just keep that in mind before coming. Everything is self serve and you order from the touchscreen kiosk in the corner. The setup is simple and convenient if you're in a rush, but it definitely gives more food court/takeout vibes than an actual dim sum experience. We ended up ordering a variety of things to try since the menu looked promising. Honestly, the food was just okay and nothing really stood out. The shumai and har gow were decent but pretty average and didn't taste super fresh or memorable. One order comes with 3 pieces. The BBQ pork was probably the biggest disappointment because it was extremely fatty with barely any meat in some pieces. The roast duck looked good visually with the crispy skin, but it honestly barely had flavor which was surprising. The pork bun also had this weird aftertaste that kind of threw me off after a few bites. The chow mein was actually one of the better things we ordered because the noodles had good texture and flavor, but the portion was super small for the price. Everything felt overpriced for what you get, especially considering its takeout style with no dine in service. Overall, I left feeling like I would rather spend a little more money at an actual dim sum restaurant where you can sit down and get fresher food with bigger portions. Nothing we had was terrible, but nothing made me want to come back either. It's not the worst option if you're nearby and want something quick, but for the prices they charge, I expected a lot better quality and portion sizes. Unfortunately this just wasn't worth it for me and I probably wouldn't return.

Modern decor.

I went to Yang Kee during their soft opening. This restaurant is mainly a take out place with one table and a few chairs outside of the restaurant for someone who wants to have a quick sit down meal. The place looks clean and modern that gives a vibe of an upscale take out place. I ordered a few dim sum items for tea time: Crust Glutinous chicken dumpling, Seared shrimp and Chive potsticker, Pan fried taro cake and baked pineapple buns. Everything tasted fine except for the taro cake, which tasted like the cake was fried in old oil. I was so excited to see that item on the menu so I was disappointed. The restaurant prices seemed a little pricey but as a new restaurant, it's understandable that they priced their items at current inflationary prices. While waiting for the food to cook, I saw their crispy-skinned Cantonese whole roast ducks, char siu, soy sauce whole chicken and white cut whole chicken hanging by the window. The traditional presentation simply look gloriously shiny and enticing in a modern setting. I must return to get some of that for dinners. But the staff was simply wonderful. A group of 10 youngsters were working in the front showing how to provide fast services quietly through great teamwork. The cashier was particularly nice and patient when I suddenly experiencing that senior moments. It's the staff that I like about this place the most.

Roast duck, siu mai, and lotus wrapped chicken
James D.

I made a second visit today and the quality dramatically went down. The main issue is that dishes with mushrooms were too slimy. Not because the mushroom wasn't fresh, but because it feels like they forgot to drain the mushroom before they mixed it with the other ingredients. It made the texture for my lotus wrapped chicken chicken have a weird texture. The deep fried beef balls barely has beef. The siu mai and hao gao did not taste as fresh as before. Yes, it is take out, but it did not felt as fresh as other places or as before. It feels similar to the grocery market ones where it sits out for a while.

Roasted pork belly, hargow, siumai, fluffy bbq pork, and lotus wrap
Austin H.

My partner and I are big fans of Yang Kee and love their restaurant in Roseville and Davis, so we were excited when a spot opened up in Sacramento. This spot isn't a sit down restaurant and is take out only. I'm all right with that as long as the food is just as good. This spot serves different food than the restaurant. It has a menu more similar to dimsum I would say. The inside was clean and had the classic large window where you can see the workers prepare food with roasted duck hanging on the window. You can order on a self-service screen or order at the front. Now to the food! I got the roasted crispy pork belly, an order of hargow, an order of siumai, fluffy bbq pork, and chicken sticky rice lotus wrap. The price was okay. The crispy pork was pretty expensive, but they do give you a good amount and it was delicious to eat with a side of rice. The hargow and siumai were good, nothing special though. Same with the lotus wrap, good but nothing special. The fluffy bbq baos were delicious and my partner even commented on how good they were. This was soft opening so I would still have to try their whole menu.

I've been to the Yang Kee in Roseville once, and was excited to try this spot on the edge of EG! For this first visit on a Saturday late afternoon, they had a menu outside you could peruse, and paper menus to grab. People were standing/waiting to the left of the entrance by the window so I didn't actually see the kiosk option against the wall below the menu screens until later. The more obvious signage to "Order" at the counter was where I actually fell in line. The person ahead of me in line had some issues paying with cash but card payment was fine. Only one register. The duck, chicken, and pork all looked great, and they also have combos with rice or chowmein. Maybe add some chairs or benches for waiting, or a screen with order numbers and wait times/queue? I can't remember how long exactly it took to fulfill, but I didn't order any of the deli meats, only dimsum. For this first foray, tried their Fluffy BBQ Pork Buns (steamed), Sticky Rice & Chicken in Lotus Leaf, Pork & Shrimp Siumai, and Baked BBQ Pork Buns to-go. The steamed BBQ pork buns were my least favorite of the bunch, this order came with two pieces. The pork and shrimp shumai came with 3 pieces per order, and these were decently shrimpy and meaty, tasty albeit pale. The sticky rice had chicken and Chinese sausage and this was very good (2 pieces). The baked BBQ pork buns threw me off by looks since they had more of a flaky crust like a pineapple bun and some greenery dried herbs baked in rather than what I'd usually expect a baked BBQ pork bun to look like. The filling was pretty much the same as the steamed BBQ pork bun, but the flavor and texture of the baked bun was much much better going with it. For $20ish for 4 different dimsum items, this was pretty good. Mom was sad they didn't have chicken feet on the menu, though. Will definitely come back to try the duck, bbq pork, and crispy pork belly!

I'm glad we have a place like Yangkee in Elk Grove. It's not always easy to find Chinese dim sum and Cantonese BBQ without driving into Sacramento, so having a local spot is really convenient. Whenever I'm craving roast meats or dim sum to-go, it's nice to have an option close by that makes grabbing Chinese food quick and easy. The ordering process is simple, parking is convenient, and it's great for picking up food when you're short on time. Definitely a welcome addition to the Elk Grove area for anyone looking for traditional Chinese takeout.

Outside. Trying a new Canto dim sum/BBQ spot
Annie Y.

I've been patiently waiting for a few weeks after their grand opening to try this new dim sum & BBQ spot because I don't like to wait in long lines. I plan my visit on a weekday around 2pm and it was perfect timing with one or two customers in front of me. I overheard from the Aunties that they are very busy on the weekends. ROASTED DUCK If you know me, you know I love roasted duck. Yang Kee delivered! It wasn't too oily with glistening skin. Good seasoning and meat texture. I do prefer a little more sauce. The half portion was perfect for my family size. CHAR SIU (Sweet Honey BBQ Pork) I'm impressed! This reminds me of the Hong Kong quality. I like 70/30 or 80/20 ratios of meat/fat. It's sweet-savory glaze and charred with caramelized/burned edges. Loved it! You can order with the staff or by kiosk. Friendly staff. I like the set up with signs to line up and pick up area. I'll definitely be back to try their dim sum next.

Came by to check out the place and grabbed a few items... the store front is beautiful! It's open with clean clear windows to see the steamed and bbq'd duck and chickens hanging. Service was great. She took my order and answered some questions I had and food then was packed and ready in less than 10 minutes. I ordered half roasted duck, some bbq pork buns and the wasabi beef puffs . The roasted duck was delicious! So flavorful. I would order it again. The bbq pork buns was dense but very good too! The bbq pork inside was yummy and sweet/savory and the top was crispy. Delicious! The wasabi beef puffs were just ok . Barely any beef flavor.. tasted more of the pastry and hints of wasabi. Overall this is a great spot for some dim sum to go .. it's on the pricier side but I don't mind it if I can't make it to a dim sum restaurant.

This place is takeout-only, but the second you walk in and see rows of glossy roast ducks and ruby-red char siu hanging like edible trophies, you kind of forget you ever needed seating anyway. The interior is bright, clean, and modern--more polished than your typical BBQ spot. There's a long counter with a glass display showing off all the meats, and a simple queue setup that keeps things moving. It feels efficient like they know exactly what you came for and won't waste your time. The char siu is sweet, smoky, and cut into thick, juicy pieces that don't mess around. The empress chicken is tender and silky, sitting on a mountain of fragrant chicken oil rice with just enough ginger-scallion sauce to keep things interesting. And the soy sauce chicken offers flavorful silky skin with juicy meat inside, plus that little cup of sauce that somehow disappears way too fast. Portions are huge, like "I'll save some for later" and then you don't. Service is friendly and quick, even when it's busy, so you're in and out without feeling rushed. Only knock: the price. It's a bit higher than you'd expect for takeout. But to be fair, they're not exactly being stingy with the portions, so it softens the blow. Four stars, and a very full stomach.

Yay! Another Dim Sum and Chinese food options. At first I was hoping for a sit down dim sum place closer to home. However, this location does Take Out ONLY! There is one Kiosk to put in your order inside, otherwise wait in line for the one cash register. It's there soft opening currently so the have more people working inside than guest. Everything came out very quickly...for my test order the two items are ready in 5 minutes. Fluffy BBQ Pork bun: 4/5 - it's different the bun is semi-sweet and considered small for a to go price. Sweet Butter Coconut bun: 3/5 - coconut flakes cover the same sweet fluffy bun with custard inside. It's like eating a bun than a dessert and the custard is dry instead of creamy. The inside is definitely smaller so it's best to put in your order online and come pick up. The line for the BBQ items hanging took up half the restaurant so not much rooms to wait for your dim sum orders. I will definitely be back to try more dishes and BBQ plates.

Dim sum is ok. Chow mein sucked…read more Fried rice is ok. Flounder is a must have. It's delicious. Service is top notch.

I've been coming to New Happy Garden for several years--back when it was just "Happy Garden"--and…read moreit used to be a spot I'd happily go out of my way for. The restaurant itself has always been large, spacious, and beautifully decorated with chandeliers--it's definitely a nice venue for events like weddings. Their taro turnovers have always been a favorite of mine, and even after moving farther away, I still found myself coming back just for them. A few months ago, my husband and I had a really pleasant experience here. We ordered a variety of dim sum and ended up taking some home because everything was so enjoyable. My husband typically orders the spicy orange chicken and has always been satisfied with it. The service during that visit was also great--the server was sweet, attentive, and we even had some fun conversations. Unfortunately, our most recent visit yesterday was a completely different experience. We came in around 11:15 AM on a Tuesday expecting a nice, casual dim sum date. I ordered har gow, siu mai, sticky rice, and shrimp balls with sweet and sour sauce, and we waited for more of the dim sum carts to come around. As usual, I ordered the spicy orange chicken for my husband. It was already off to a rough start when communication with our servers became difficult. There seemed to be a significant language barrier, and it was challenging to get our concerns across. Things went downhill when we received the "spicy" orange chicken. It was not spicy at all and, more importantly, it was severely overcooked--hard, dry, and honestly unchewable. We ordered chicken, not beef jerky. When we brought this up, the staff seemed fixated on the spice level rather than listening to the main issue. They insisted that the dish was already spicy and interpreted our concern as a request for "extra spicy." Both my husband and I can handle spice differently, but we could agree there was no spice present, and that wasn't even the primary problem--the texture was. They took the dish back, and we assumed it would be remade. Instead, it was quickly returned to us with some chili sauce sprinkled on top--the same exact overcooked chicken. I could tell it hadn't been remade because the same broken piece of chicken was still on the plate. At that point, we were frustrated and had lost our appetites. I took the dish to the register myself to explain that the issue was the texture and that the chicken was inedible. It finally seemed to click, and they apologized and offered to remake it, but by then, it felt too late. I'm not one to give third chances when something should have been handled correctly the first or second time. To their credit, they did not charge us for the dish and were apologetic, but the entire experience felt unnecessarily difficult and frustrating. That's not the level of service I expect when I'm paying to support a business. It's especially disappointing because this was meant to be our last visit before moving out of state, and it ended on such a sour note. Sadly, after this experience, I definitely do not see myself returning.

However, I can still speak to the food quality and overall ambiance. The food was very tasty overall. 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 itself was incredible. The meat was tender, the skin was crispy, and everything paired beautifully with the sauce. 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. Overall, 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.

UPDATE 4/6/2026…read more Prices are more transparent now than previously in the past. Menu items are more consistent now where as in the past the portion size would vary based off of your party size as I noticed before when ordering entree items. One time we had a party of two and ordered a dish and was smaller than when visiting with a party of 4. Same price you're paying you should get the same size portion regardless. Kings has made improvements over the years. The food is still great and worth going to!
