The location is really good. It's in the heart of downtown near many of the state office buildings. It's across from a busy park and has a ton of foot traffic around during the day. Parking is mainly limited to street parking but there is a parking structure across the street for $$. The interior is small and feels cramped. They basically use every square foot they can. They have a hot wok style cooking area and the line usually coils out the door during lunch time. During the summer, it's rather warm inside. There is a unique upstairs dining area that overlooks the street and park. Additionally, there is a patio area outside and a couple of other tables for outdoor dining. The prices are actually very respectable for 2025. You can get a decent amount of food for $10-15 that will fill you up. The flavor of the food is slightly above average, however it's nothing to ride home about. The service is speedy and they pretty much make your food in front of you, almost like Chipotle or Panda Express. I like to frequent this spot on my lunch breaks whenever I feel like going for a walk. Definitely has that small business mom and pop shop charm to it. Bottom line/TLDR: convenient and affordable Chinese food! read more

Yummy Choice - The condiments - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

My coworkers and I always walk past this hidden gem during our breaks. We decided to come for a lunch date and omg we are all so impressed with it! It's a mom and pop shop with a husband and wife duo working the grill and counter. The food was so yummy and flavorful!!! We're definitely going to come back and have future lunch dates here. We got the pork banh mi and pork vermicelli bowl. Everything was on point and we finished all our food. Price is very reasonable given that it's located in downtown. If you want to support a local business, definitely come here! The owners were super nice and appreciative that we stopped by for lunch. It's true that during the weekdays, the lines are out the door. It's best to call ahead and walk over to pick up your food if working from downtown. read more

Yummy choice is a solid lunch option, especially if you work downtown. This place is walking distance from work so it's in our weekly rotation. I usually go for the pork banh mi which is good but not the best I've ever had. The sandwich is big and the meat is tasty but the bread is kinda hard and can be tough to chew. The spring rolls and pot stickers are decent and overall I'm usually satisfied with my meal. The price point is good for what you get. Overall 3.5/5 read more

Overall: 4/5 Food Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Came here for lunch and grabbed a Pork Bahn Mi. The line was out the door, but it moved quickly. The Bahn Mi was SOLID! The most important things are the BREAD and the MEAT. The meat was juicy, tender and sweet. The bread was fresh, the fasho got it this morning! Definitely a SOLID choice and super affordable prices! This is not the best Bahn Mi out there, but for lunch downtown under $9, this hits the spot! read more

Yummy Choice - Pork Bahn Mi - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

This is a mom n pop ran family business. It's just the both of them churning out the food, Monday - Friday 10am-2pm. The place is tiny and divey. It's counter service with some outdoor patio seating. It's always busy during the weekday lunch with a line out the door. The line moves relatively quick though. The menu has Vietnamese, Chinese, and American options with the likes of shrimp spring rolls, banh mi, teriyaki chicken, fried rice, Vietnamese beef stew, burgers, and fries just to name a few. Food is basic and tasty. Classic fare. I've had their banh mi, both the grilled chicken and grilled pork. $7.99. The sandwiches are loaded with meat and are a hefty size. The meat is tender with good flavor. The baguette is classic banh mi. Soft interior with crunchy, flaky top crust. Top notch, I have also ordered the Vietnamese beef stew. The broth is pretty darn tasty, it has the classic tangy bright profile. The chunks of braised beef is tender and fork shreddable. If you order this, just be aware it will take longer to prepare because they will need to heat a batch. They use a pot on the stove and not a microwave for that. The stew is served with a whole baguette, the same ones used for the banh mi. read more

Quaint mom and pop shop! This place gets crowded during lunch time. Their portion size is very generous for the price. The banh mi was ok. I heard their won ton soup was great and will have to try next time read more

Coming in, the place is SMALL. It reminds me of coming into someone's home and waiting in the kitchen for the food to be done cooking because they make most of the items on the spot. I'd say getting Vietnamese food such as banh mi, spring rolls, vermicelli noodles, pho, soup, etc. is a solid choice. It is not the best and is slightly overpriced compared to the places in South Sacramento but compared to the prices downtown.. It is definitely on the lower end and tasted good enough for me to keep coming back. The owners are also really cute and friendly. Some of the Chinese food looked kind of sketchy so I have not tried it so this review is based on mainly the Vietnamese food choices. read more

I stopped at Yummy Choice impulsively while walking by on my way to a meeting. I had some time before my meeting and when I saw they had Banh Mi options on the menu I was sold. It's a small shop, great for quick to-go orders. They have some ready made hot options as well as items they make fresh when you order. I had to get the grilled pork Banh Mi and saw that they had grilled meat pork spring rolls so I bought them as well. They have fountain drinks, bottled drinks and iced tea available for drinks and they have utensils and sauces available to grab before you head out. My sandwich only took a few minutes to be ready and they handed me a bag with my items while I was taking some photos. The sandwich was huge and the spring rolls were stuffed, probably some of the biggest spring rolls I've had in a while. Everything tasted great. The bread was soft and fluffy and the sandwich as a whole was great, I loved the crunchy veggies with their sauce and the pork. I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu soon. read more

I had the wonton soup which was really good. The wonton were made differently than what I am used to. I also had the potstickers. Those were not great a little on the dry side. They didn't seemed to be freshly made but I could be wrong. Overall It was a good place because you are able to eat and sit outside read more

Food takes a long time, space is very crowded, but the food is good and there is variety.

I really love this small lunch spot for the Vietnamese soups, spring rolls and salads. But they also have many other items on the menu. To my surprise today, they are now serving cold or hot sandwiches and hamburgers and fries. This is a husband and wife owned restaurant, they are super friendly and make delicious food. There will also soon be more seating outside, stop by and give them a try for lunch! read more

I probably hit this place up for lunch downtown more than any other. Their banh mi sandwhiches are tasty. It's not some super fancy dining experience to put on instagram, but it is filling, tastes good, and you get in and out quickly. The people in line are usually a good lot so it's also a good place to strike up a conversation. read more

I keep coming back for the lemongrass grilled pork so I can't speak to anything else just yet. I'm from the SGV, born and raised, and my Vietnamese flavor preferences lean Canto: this lemon grass pork tastes like home. It tastes like the thit nuong i grew up eating tastes like. Being specific because i think different communities cook their dishes differently so it comes down to preferences and what you're used to. I've been unimpressed by charbroiled pork at other spots in Sac so far because it's usually not enough charbroiled enough and too saucey or overly marinaded. I get the 2 item combo with chow mein and plain veggies. The two side items are on the lighter flavor profile side but for me they are the perfect balance with the pork. I'd definitely do the rice noodle w fish sauce except the portion is pretty large so fish sauce drenched vermicelli and lettuce wouldn't keep very well. I'm usually able to split my order into two different meals so it's quite a bit of food. Also love that it's made by an uncle and auntie. Support small businesses! read more

This review is solely for the Spring Rolls. My friend brought me Spring Rolls and a Thai Tea. This is probably the best spring roll I have ever had. The peanut sauce even had a nice kick to it.

I love this place so much. It makes me nostalgic for a time that's since passed, a time when you could grab a quick lunch with friendly people and be satisfied every time.

I haven't had much else on the menu but just enjoy the neighborhood vibe. read more

Tried my first Bahn Mi sandwich and I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was! The neat was very flavorful, the vegetables were fresh and the bread was fresh as well.

Yummy Choice - Pork Bahn Mi sandwich. - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

A hole in the wall with delicious food. The Pork Bahn Mi is incredible. Best I've had outside of the Bay Area. Fresh and deliciously pickled veggies, extremely flavorful grilled pork, and only $8.50 out the door for the generously sized sandwich, this is my go to lunch downtown. The owners are kind, welcoming, and above all efficient. If there is ever a wait in this tiny shop, it's absolutely worth it. The egg roll I had wasn't spectacular but the Bàhn Mí was out of this world. Five stars without question. Can't wait to come back again. read more

A gem owned by a super nice couple. This ma and pa restaurant is one of my favorites! What I got: * Cheeseburger with fries (10/10): A huge burger that I wasn't even able to finish in one go. Super filling and tasted exactly like what a burger should taste (but better and seasoned well). There were a lot of fries too. * Spring Rolls (10/10): I love that they stuffed the rolls with plenty of grilled pork. I was given the option to get both the shrimp roll too. The dipping sauce was also good. read more

Food was great. I payed 15$ for the plate with teriyaki chicken. You get a choice of chow mein or fried rice and I got it with chow main and it was pretty good. Next time I really want to get the vermicelli noodle they have. The dragon house isn't as good as this place. This place looks family owned and operated so it's best to support the local businesses downtown! read more

Yummy choice has many yummy choices. There is Chinese, Vietnamese, and even American food. The place is a mom and pop shop opened long enough to feed the workers in the area for a good portion and price. I knew when I stepped in I wanted to eat something healthy but also a bit of guilty. Luckily they sold fries to satisfy my guilt trip and veggies to make me feel better about eating fries. Balanced diet right? Hehe. I got spring rolls that has lettuce, other veggies, shrimp, and noodles served with peanut hoisin sauce. Generous portion of side of fries, and a generous portion steamed veggies. Everything came out delicious and I would definitely go back to order other items on the menu. Service is also quick and efficient. There are a couple of tables outside, seating near where you order and even an upstairs seating. I didn't check upstairs but might do so the next time I pop in. read more

This hole-in-the wall is awesome! Not the place you'd expect for a damned good Pork Bahn Mi. Checking this place out again and again.

I really enjoy Yummy Choice Cafe...their Pork Vietnamese sandwich is completely yummy!!! I have also tried their Cheese Burger and French Fries and I have not been disappointed yet. They close by 2pm... so go in and give this yummy cafe a try. The owners will be sure to serve you with a kind and grateful smile!!! read more

I wouldn't recommend this place. The food is terrible, and the customer service is just as bad. I placed an order, and the cashier told me I'd have to wait, which I agreed to. However, five minutes later, as the line started to build up, she told me to cancel my spring roll order because she was now too busy and asked me to order something else. Unfortunately, their other options weren't any better. I had their whole menu at different restaurants and it does not taste the same. read more

Honestly the food was awful, the chicken was at least 3 day old and was super rubbery. I wouldn't recommend this place at all

Straight up the worst Chinese food I've ever had. Picture the worst chow mein you've ever had, this place is on par.

$8.55 for a pork bahn mi Such friendly mom and pop Crusty baguette Great tasting sauce Super fresh veg And a fair portion of really tasty charred pork Magnifico 10/10 would eat here again when in the area read more

This is such a great hole in the wall/mom and pop shop. The husband and wife that run it are very friendly and offer delicious quick food for weekday lunches. I recommend this place to all my coworkers since they not only have Asian fusion, but they also have sandwiches, burgers, and wings for the picky eaters. Food is super affordable and always made really quickly. Some of my favorites are the Pork Banh Mi, Pork Spring Rolls, and Wonton Soup. They have daily specials posted outside on a whiteboard and if you happen to see the lemongrass beef, run don't walk! I have yet to eat there but they do have an upstairs eating area and a newly renovated outside shared patio. (: read more

Only "fair". I ordered a two item lunch. Chow mein and teriyaki chicken. The chicken was flavorful and large portion. However, the chow mein was plain and bland. It had ZERO vegetables. No onions, no cabbage, no nothing! It was like boiled noodles with no flavor. Giving the 3 stars for good chicken. read more

Lots of Asian flavored options here, love it!!!! read more
