Pork Cabbage Pan Fried Dumplings ~ $12.95
Jean S.

We had lunch at Yi Long on a weekday in Natomas, Sacramento. Interestingly, they don't have lunch specials, but they do have a special list of combo plates that are available all day long. We ordered the orange chicken with bbq fried rice and the broccoli beef with white rice. Each combo plate comes with a spring roll. To upgrade to fried rice or chow mein, it's an extra $2.50. The orange chicken was breaded and fried and tasted good. The server said they used oranges from their backyard...it was good! I liked the bbq fried rice too. The broccoli beef was good as well. The spring roll was okay, but tasted much better with dipping sauce. I've been to Yi Long many years ago when they first opened and had good experiences. However, they had switched owners approximately 5 months ago and the new menu is slightly different (no baked dim sum items). We were the only ones that dined in at the time, but there were lots of to-go orders. Service was good and the restaurant decor was typical of an authentic Chinese restaurant.

Wonton Noodle Soup
Dang Y.

We went here New Year's Day and there was nobody inside. We ordered wonton soup, shrimp dumplings, shiu mai, xiao long bao, pan-fried soup bao, pan-fried chive dumpling, wonton in red chili oil, and beef wrap roll. The food came out right away and we ate away. Not a long wait. My favorite was the shiu mai, xiao long bao, pan-fried chive dumpling, and wonton in red chili oil. Shiu mai tasted fresh. Favorites were tasty. The whole table did not like the beef wrap roll with fresh onions inside that was so strong. You have to ask for the chopsticks which surprised everybody. The staff is friendly and nice. Spacious inside. Outside there were a lot of people just hanging out so I do not know how it is at night. Thank you. Take care. Been here before New Year's on my own and tried the wonton noodle soup and the pan-fried chive dumpling. Enjoyed both dish. Just add seasonings to the noodle soup. Lots of noodles in the soup. Will go here again.

What a wonderful surprise.... -Location is "Super Sketch" - food and service was on point, definitely worth the adventure into the "questionable" shopping complex. -Beef chow fun: excellent "WOK HEI".......delicious -Potstickers were flavorful and crispy. -Soup dumplings were very juicy.... -Shrimp ball - rival those from dim sum spot in south sac..... Verdict: definitely one of the better tasting Chinese restaurant in the Natomas area. Suggestion: need to streamline the business model operationally - keep the food quality - this place is a hidden gem that can really shine....will be back to support this family own business.....

Food- very very good, but the good ol' fave of "it's not SF" is a fitting description. Service- we were the only ones there are the time so we were waited on just fine. Ambiance- place was empty. I think there was an employee sitting at one other table but other than that, empty. Kinda nuts to have illustrations of the dishes on the walls. Eh. Big arse spoons- I didn't order soup dumplings, nor soup so it was there for looks. Mmkay sure. WiFi- nope. The place next door (Domino's) had an open system so sure. The har gow (shrimp dumplings) seemed a touch bland. Extra points for them throwing in six, maybe due to their size. Kinda small. Siu mai was very decent. Noodles- weren't really pan fried even though we order the house special pan fried chow mein. Swimming in gravy and while some may find that to be too much, I thought it was fine. Just be forewarned, there was lots of gravy. Might come back if in the neighborhood. Not sure what would bring me back to this neck of the woods though. Good game.

Special order, barbecue pork chow fun
Julieanne H.

I stopped in for lunch on a weekday, thinking this was a Dim Sum-style restaurant since I'd been craving shrimp and chive dumplings. Sadly, weekday Dim Sum options are quite limited -- only about four items were available, and none of them were what I had in mind. So, I decided to go with one of my favorite comfort dishes: Chow Fun. Although barbecue pork with tofu wasn't on the menu, they did have barbecue pork and fun noodles, so I asked if they could combine them -- and they happily accommodated! The staff here are some of the happiest, most attentive people I've encountered, which instantly made the experience better. My dish arrived piping hot, with noodles cooked to absolute perfection. The mung beans, onions, and scallions were crisp and lightly sautéed, and the barbecue pork was tender, juicy, and plentiful -- exactly how it should be. The only drawback was the soy sauce; it tasted cheap and overwhelmingly salty, making it hard to enjoy without several cups of tea or water.

Enjoyed the weekend dim sum spread last Sunday along with a few dishes, like garlic green beans and salt and pepper pork chops. Although not a dim sum restaurant, there were about a dozen offerings, including soup dumplings and pan fried buns, in addition to the standard ha how, siu mai, and bbq pork buns. The service is excellent and the space comfortable.

Braised fish and tofu-this was our favorite!
Holland H.

My bf wanted to try a new place for dim sum in natomas so we came here-we got the xiaolongbao, braised fish and tofu, chili wontons, and scallopfried rice. The scallop fried rice paired super well with everything we got. My bf got it because we normally don't see scallop fried rice being offered as a carb at a lot of places. The chili oil wontons were our least favorite, but were still delicious nonetheless. Its just that everything else was a bigger standout to this place. I def highly recommend the xiaolongbao and braised fish and tofu which i can see myself getting both again-even my bf who doesn't normally love cooked seafood really enjoyed it, and the good thing is that if you eat with a person who also has that preference, a good chunk of the dish is tofu. It also had a generous portion of onions, shiitake, and green onions, so I felt like I wasnt missing out on not ordering a separate veggie dish One of the most notable things about every dish we got was that nothing was too oily or salty despite still being packed with flavor, which was mentioned in a lot of reviews that i saw. The food also came out really quickly and came out piping hot which I always appreciate! Service was also really friendly. The portions were HUGE. we ended up having to pile up two to go boxes, but Im not complaining lol

Wontons in chili oil
Melanie L.

Nice option in South Natomas. Located in a strip mall near Popeyes. Inside is clean and well maintained. Ordered and served quickly. Unfortunately, it was a holiday weekend when they were busy in the morning so they were out of a lot of of the things we asked for. They were out of veggies, boba, chive dumplings, egg tarts. What we ended up with was good though, and my family enjoyed it. 4/5 beef chow fun 5/5 soup dumplings 4.5 spicy chicken 4/5 wontons in chili oil

Kung pao chicken
Tiffany H.

Heard there was a change in ownership so I tried this place again. They still have their lunch specials which is a good deal. They serve a large plate with rice and a main course which can be enough for two meals. ordered their pan fried dumplings which is supposed to have soup in it but there was none. It also had way too much dough and not enough meat. I really liked the way they pan fried their dumplings in the past with the crispy skirt but they no longer have this option. Service was decent though the strip mall they're located in seems more sketch now. There were multiple homeless people in the parking lot and it smelt smoky.

Menu (as of 09/26/25)
Alexis R.

This place is so good I already want to go back. I got their salt and pepper pork chops as well as their dry-cooked green beans and a side of rice. The pork chops were just so deliciously cooked and so crispy too and did not have much bone with it so it was just *chefs kiss*. The green beans were also very good but i wasnt expecting it to be spicy so i wish they would indicate that on their menu with a symbol because the picture looked like they were just steamed green beans. But i do like spicy food , i just wasnt prepared to eat spicy food that afternoon. Other than that, it was also the right type of service that i personally feel like was right for me. They checked in on me from time to time but not often, i liked that they just left me alone to eat and enjoy my food. Restaurant was very clean and beautifully decorated. I will most definitely be coming back :)

BBQ Pork Bao
Courtney O.

My mom and I wanted Chinese for dinner on Saturday and I found this place on Yelp not too far from where we live. They are located in Natomas next to Bel Air and Popeye's. We arrived around 5pm and there were already a few tables full of families. The inside was clean and spacious. Staff was very friendly as well. We ordered the Honey Walnut Shrimp, Chicken Fried Rice, Combination Chow Fun, Pan-Fried Chives Dumplings and the BBQ Pork Bao Buns. Everything tasted very fresh and I liked that the Pan-Fried Chives Dumplings and BBQ Pork Bao Buns were made fresh to order - they took longer than the entrees to come out. There was so much food - we took home leftovers that lasted us through the weekend. I loved everything we ordered, but I would definitely like to come back and order different entrees to try next time like their Dimsum. One lady walked by our table on the way out raving about their Green Beans. We'll definitely be back soon! Check them out!

Hot and Sour Soup (Large)
Michelle L.

My first time, but since it was Ash Wednesday, I didn't get to try any of the dumplings or dishes with pork. Still lots of good options with shrimp, seafood, or veggies, though! Thanks, friends, for understanding. We shared a large order of the Hot & Sour Soup, Garlic Noodles, Shrimp Dumplings, Crispy Shrimp Balls, and Walnut Prawns. Clean, and instrumental music in the background ambience. Service was quick, one person at the counter handling takeout orders, and our main server lady was prompt with water refills, each dish as they were ready, answering questions about the menu, and bringing the check. The hot and sour soup was great, not sure if it had any meat but the usual tofu, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, egg drops were present. It was not too spicy, hot, or sour -- just right! The shrimp dumplings (hargow) were pretty big! These come in the flour wrapper, steamed. The crispy shrimp balls reminded me of the ones at dim sum with the strips of spring roll wrapper on the outside then fried. Both orders were good, but I'll definitely be back to try the shumai, soup dumplings, etc. The garlic noodles were simple but yummy. No butter or parm like you'd find elsewhere. The walnut prawns were also very good size, and ratio of batter/mayo. Located in a South Natomas Bel Air-anchored strip mall next to Domino's Pizza, a few doors down from Popeye's.

When I heard this place served authentic Chinese beef noodle soup, I knew we had to try it. And we were not disappointed! The beef noodle soup was absolutely delicious, but what really stood out to me was the quality of the noodles. They had the perfect texture, just the right amount of bounce, and incredible flavor. You can really tell the difference when noodles are made right! I also loved the self-serve sauce and spice bar, where you could customize your soup exactly how you like it. Such a nice touch! We ordered a few side dishes too, including the rice cakes and pumpkin sesame balls, and both were amazing. Everything was packed with flavor. My wife loved it, my kids loved it, and I loved it. We all had a fantastic time, and it made my 50th birthday celebration even more special. If you're looking for authentic Chinese food, especially a really good bowl of beef noodle soup, definitely check this place out. Highly recommended!

The food quickly comes out piping hot and there is an unlimited condiment and topping bar that you can use to customize your bowl to your heart's content. The price is also very fair and they don't accept/require any tip so the price you see is the price you pay (with tax added on top). It also seems to be within a little Chinese/Asian plaza/shopping center so you can browse around after your meal too. The area seemed a little bit sketchy so I would be careful of your cars and don't leave any valuables in sight.

The drunken noodle plate was so BIG, then compared to the yum woonsen and khao soo those were soo small. I wanna say their stir fried dishes r big portions and everything else is small ig. Flavor of yum woonsen was pretty good, i usually like the sauce, two shrimps. Drunken noodle not bad, noodles r cut rly big lol and bit mushy decent flavor. Overall wouldnt come back, would rather go to saivaree (sister restaurant) which gives better portions and i believe their pricing is cheaper/same.

The broth is flavorful and satisfying without being too heavy. The white tonkotsu is also very good if you're in the mood for something richer and creamier. Definitely don't skip the geso either! It's delicious and one of our favorite things to order alongside the ramen. Alternatively, if you're not in the mood for noodles, they have an excellent Tonkatsu Donburi. Ryujin can get pretty crowded around dinner, especially on colder nights when everyone seems to have the same idea, so I'd recommend planning accordingly and being prepared for a possible wait.
