50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Carmichael

“Me and my girlfriend just ordered food from here tonight. We were not disappointed. Tired of getting let down by high prices, poor quality, & small portions. This food is fresh, authentic, and delicious. We will definitely be coming back! Very satisfied.“

“Blue Sky is one of our favorite Chinese food restaurants and has been ever since we moved into Carmichael in 2016. The owner there is extremely friendly and greeting with a huge smile and I feel hugged when I walk in. It helps to know that we order take out there at least once a month. Our favorites are honey walnut chicken and we ordered the sauce to the side because we have leftovers and we often times like to reheat the chicken. But it's hard to reheat the chicken the next day because the sauce makes the chicken soggy. They're happy to keep the sauce on the side. We also love their Deluxe string bean combo. I like to ask them to add extra green beans which they do. Everything we've ordered there is fantastic. They have the best Chinese mustard in town.“

“1st time getting takeout there. Staff was very nice. Very expensive. Food was ok. Lemon chicken tasted good but the chicken was old, chewy and dry. Sweet and Sour pork was ok and had no pineapple in it which was odd. Chewy and not great tasting pork. Chow mein was good. Broccoli beef was good. Really 3.5 stars so 4 stars os generous. We won't be back. $55 for 4 items is insane. Sorry.“

“Ate here for dinner before going to the movies last week. Food was really good and the service was wonderful. Andy was very helpful with the choice of our food. Going back tomorrow with the family to celebrate our anniversary. We moved here from the Bay Area a year ago and this place exceeded our expectation.“

“the best place for lunch in sacramento been coming here for years and years the food is always amazing and the staff is top of the line this is a sacramento staple a must try place to come eat and visit i promise come try there food and you will always come back for more“

“Nice food, quality service and clean“

“Great customer service. We were greeted and both my wife and I were acknowledged, no weird staff like other places we been too . The food was delicious, this place was on point and the woman at the register was attentive smiling and a pleasure to talk to . And the prices makes sense .“

“Okay, of you pulled this up I hope it's because you are trying to decide if you should go here. Let's start with the obvious, this is a nondescript strip center convenience store. There isn't much to indicate this is a restaurant. Service at the counter is prompt and friendly. This is to-go only. There are no seating options whatsoever. The menu is pretty simple with the Chinese classics we've come to expect. There are no combo meals or plates. Each item comes served as plate to share family style. Keep an eye out, there are no prices on the menus. An order of rice, an order of eggrolls, an order of broccoli beef and an order of sesame chicken were $75!!! Let's cut to the chase. How was the food? The rice was a big plate of dark brown rice, no peas and carrots, which is how I prefer it, there was a little onion, but the flavor was all there and it was excellent! The eggrolls are extraordinary. The order is 4 and they are massive, batter dipped and fried until golden and crispy and they are easily some of the beat eggrolls I've ever had. The beef and broccoli was exactly what it should be. The beef was tender, the broccoli was not overcooked, the sauce was flavorful. It was very good. The sesame chicken was fried perfectly crisp and stood up to the flavorful sauce. It's wasn't overly spicy. It was some of the best sesame chicken I've ever had. So while the atmosphere wasn't great and the prices were steep, the flavor and the quality was absolutely present in every dish I got here. This is definitely one of those hidden spots that only neighborhood people know about, but definitely worth checking out.“

“A fine Chinese restaurant for me!
Serving an authentic and excellent food, specially dumplings and noodles!
You can also watch how they make those fresh shu-mai/wonton.
The place is in demand when we get there one Friday night, so, go on line for table reservations in advance so you won’t wait for 30 to 60 mins as we experienced for the first time. But the food is worth waiting for!“

“This is now my go to sit down Chinese food restaurant. Staff is kind, welcoming and helpful. Prices are reasonable considering portion sizes (always 2 meals for me) and most importantly their food is delicious. Their General Tsao chicken is the best I have experienced.“

“We always order a double portion each of Sichuan Garden Special Dumplings and the Mouthwatering Chicken
Taking these yummy leftovers home gives us something to look forward to the next day.
I must say, in this area, we've yet to find anything that compares to these two dishes. Addictive!“

“Walking into ZhangLiang Malatang is like stepping into a hotpot Hunger Games. You grab a giant bowl, a pair of tongs, and immediately start convincing yourself you won’t overdo it… until you realize the bowl itself weighs as much as your guilty conscience. Everything is $15/lb, which sounds fine until you’re piling in noodles, tofu, and a casual half-pound of bok choy like it’s free samples at Costco. I had visions of a $30 monster bowl, but by some miracle (and sheer tong restraint), I walked away with a $21 creation. Under budget, baby. 💅

The proteins looked a little questionable like they’ve seen better days but hey, they didn’t make me sick, so that’s what I call a culinary win. I went with the dry pot (aka stir-fried hotpot without broth), because nothing says “Sacramento in summer” like avoiding boiling soup in 100-degree heat. Flavor was punchy, numbing, and just the right amount of spicy. It came with rice, which was cute but completely unnecessary since I also threw ramen in my bowl. Carb-on-carb crime, and I regret nothing.

There’s also a sauce bar, but honestly... didn’t need it. My dry pot was already sauced up like it was headed to a drag brunch. My friends went for the tom yum broth, which was promising but ended up with more lemongrass tonkatsu, flavorful and rich, but lacking complexity and that “Thai-level spicy.” Definitely Chinese spicy, which is basically a tickle if you’re used to Southeast Asian fire levels.

Service is minimal, because you’re basically your own chef here — grab, weigh, pay, sit. They bring it out, and then it’s just you, your bowl, and the consequences of your own decisions.

Verdict: A fun, chaotic hotpot adventure that tests both your spice tolerance and your ability to eyeball a pound of bean curd. Would I come back? Yes. Would I accidentally overspend next time? Also yes.“

“Best seafood restaurant to eat at“

“The food was amazing, service was excellent 10/10 would recommend it. We got
there around 4:00, service was fast and very nice, I will be telling everyone I know to go here for sure! The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful because we were in between rush hours. Again 10/10😋“

“I wanted to try Lollibowl again for many years. The last time I had dinner there was when they first opened. Many of my friends have told me that their dishes are very delicious and the portions are very generous. I decided to order lunch to go today. Yes! Their food is yummy and they filled the to-go boxes to the top. The prices are also reasonable. I'm happy I have one more restaurant added to my list in Sacramento.
I'm looking forward to returning. Lol!“

“My first visit here. I enjoyed the vermicelli with chicken dish was nicely prepared and came with a serving of their sauce mixture. I thought it was very good and the chicken had a nice flavor and was not dried out. I nearly did not go in because the storefront was blackened and was a bit surprised when the door opened.“

“Drove by this place for years and finally tried it out. Got a lunch special and the price was very good for soup, egg roll, chow mein, shrimp, tea.

Food was great. Portions big--typical of Chinese food. Value can't get any better than $14 for everything I listed above.“

“Quiet, friendly cafe with about 60% of their business take out. A nice place to read and eat basic, but tasty Chinese food. The waitress tells me they will soon be adding several fresh sushi rolls to their menu. I come here about twice a month.“

“I been coming here for years. I love ordering from the Lunch Specials Monday through Saturday 11:00AM to 3:00PM. I love #1 Sweet & Sour pork served with Pork Fried Rice & Pork Chow Mein. I always order to go the Chow Fun- Chicken Chow Fun-"Dry" so good. This is one of my favorite restaurants. Tell a friend a co-worker and family this one of the best restaurant's to go too ❤️ 👍“

“I’ve been eating here for several years Very tasty and delicious authentic Chinese food from Guilin. The price is also in a good range. I really like the crispy pork which gives rich texture. Beef is also a great option. Their soup base is one of the best in Sac area.“

“Great Local Chinese! My husband grew up in Hong Kong and so Chinese food is a staple for us. We were looking for something new and gave Jade Garden a try. They had a great 'family style' meal that he and I shared. They offer 2 different combinations. My favorite items were the cashew chicken and the egg flower soup. The staff were very friendly and answered any questions we had. They have a large menu, so many options! I really enjoyed my experience here and look forward to returning.“

“Had their beef chow mein and spicy crispy chicken. The spicy crispy chicken was amazing and is absolutely spicy just how it should be. They don’t mess around with the spice. Highly recommend this place food is delicious and service is awesome.“

“They have great food my favorite beef and black bean chow fun, the peaking spare ribs and general chicken. It's hard to find beef black bean chow fun at other places. I have been going to highland Chinese for 13 years and the food is still good. I have tried many other places and I just can't find one that I like as much as highland Chinese. For a little hole in the wall restaurant it is very good.“

“Love this place. Been going since early 90s. Moved to North Carolina back in 2001 and yes I shipped C for four to north carolina. Worth every penny. Coming back to Sac this week for vacation. Always a place I go when visiting. In the south everybody talks about soul food. It's good and all but this is truly my soul food.“

“I visited Wong's Canton Chinese Restaurant on a Thursday, a little after they opened around 1130 am. This was my first visit. The hostess was very kind and sat us at a table. My friend and I ordered two different lunch combination plates ( #2 and #3) to share. There was so much food that my friend was able to take the uneaten food for her husband.
The food was delicious. If you try Wong's, make sure to bring your appetite.“

“I was thinking the serving and the number of dumplings were not a lot considering it was only $11 but I was wrong! There were actualIy 10 dumplings on it. I was not able to finish it so I had to take it home. It could be good for two persons as long as you’re not that hungry.“

“I was waiting on a late flight and happened to fall right upon this place The owner (bar tender) is absolutely delightful. The whole crowd made me feel right at home. I will recommend this to everyone, when we are in Sacramento!“

“I ordered their Cashew nut chicken from the lunch special. It had lots a veggies and the chicken had a nice flavor and was not chewy like at some other places. It came with a wonton but no sauce. The wonton was not crunchy and not very good. The fried rice was cooked well and tasty. The portion for lunch was good. I wish it was a little less greasy.“

“I haven't eaten in the restaurant but it's been regularly full every time we've picked up our food. They're tucked in a not too busy shopping center and probably our favorite establishment there.

The food is amazing; fresh, crunchy, I think they're pretty much made to order. We've been getting takeout from them for the last couple of years and they haven't disappointed us. Thankfully they're pretty close so it's been a no brainer when we have a craving for Chinese food.

We regularly get the green bean chicken, Mongolian beef, and the hot and sour soup.

I hope they continue doing well and keep on making their delicious dishes.“

“Outstanding top quality entrees , excellent attentive service. Quiet peaceful environment.“

“We have been eating at SG for maybe 40 years. We like Orange Chicken and Lemon Chicken, the Won Ton soup is great and they have eggplant that's the draw for us. The prices are great and the service is great. The atmosphere is better than many more expensive restaurants.“

“Been coming here for years and years. Great food line choices - fresh and appealing, very nice people/staff, comfortable seating and atmosphere. ?????“

“This is my new favorite Asian restaurant it’s far from home but so worth the drive. From the decor to service to the amazing food…. I can’t say how refreshing it is to be able to eat clean healthy Asian cuisine. The owner is Bill and I’ve met him twice now. He’s passionate about his restaurants, yes I said restaurants plural. He let me know there’s one in Eldorado Hills and Folsom as well as this one I’m reviewing in Citrus Heights on Sunrise. It’s beautiful, clean, and the food is so very delicious! Highly recommend and give it 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was both fast and extremely friendly. I highly recommend the combination plate—it comes with the soup of the day, two egg rolls, and your choice of fried rice, steamed rice, or chow mein, along with a variety of entrées to choose from. A great value and a satisfying meal!“

“very good food and service every time we go in.. one of our favorite dining spots!“

“Beback rating- yeah

I used to work around this area a few years ago. On one occasion I decided to try their food. I was not disappointed with their shrimp fried rice the most and have visited them a few more times.

Today I was I. The area for another reason. Their sign said open from 10am till 9pm. Well, the owner pops in a little past 11am. Not good normally, but I do remember two older people running the place. So, a little grace was needed. Plus, knowing my past experiences with their food., I didn’t get irritated. Yes, this is truly a mom and pop kinda place!

I’m glad I was patient as the fried rice was savory as usual, one of the best around town. This is one of those places where you get rewarded for not judging a book by its cover.“

“Good food each time. I've been visiting this location for over 10 years and my last visit on 9.7.25 we dined in. I went with the General Chicken Combo with Chicken Chow Mein 🔥 My lady got the Broccoli with Chicken Combo with Pork Fried Rice 😋 Both came with soup and an egg roll. Bomb food. Can't go wrong. Highly recommend 👌🏼“

“We were traveling to Lake Tahoe. We passed through Sacramento and ate Asian food called Yum Cha Cafe (on the right side of the Shunfa SF Supermarket on 65th Street. We ate their roast duck, barbecued pork buns, shrimp balls, and barbecue. , fried noodles, siomai, their roast duck is so famous and really delicious. Very good seasoning, very fresh, plump and elastic meat. This is the most valuable roast duck in this area. I only had it in Hong Kong last time. I'm so happy today. I tasted such a good taste again. My family and I are very happy. I recommend it to everyone. You must try it. It's incredible.“

“I love love this place food is delicious and the people are great everyone is friendly and they give you lots of food I've been eating here for like 10 years“

“It was my first time having dinner at Gold Coast Cuisine inside one of their karaoke rooms last night. The room is very comfortable with music videos while enjoying our yummy dinner. All the dishes we have are very fresh and delicious. The service is excellent as well. The karaoke system is great. We have fun after the delicious meal.

Vegetarian options: Good selection of vegetarian menu

Parking: Although the parking lot is busy, many spaces are available within a short walk.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is wheelchair friendly“

“After a long day at work, my coworker and I decided to treat ourselves to pho. I can genuinely say that the atmosphere and service made the experience 100 times more comfortable and just what we were looking for. On top of that, the music playlist was fire. But most importantly, the pho was a 10/10 and the egg rolls! Price is reasonable for the current economy and even if on a budget like I was, the kids size is perfect just for that. Shoutout to Carina for her exceptional service! Would definitely come eat here again“

“After coming here for over 20 years, I owe them a review. When I think of Chinese food, this is the restaurant I think of. It’s nostalgia, my family brought me here when I was a kid. As a teen, I’d drive here on Friday nights to pick up dinner. I moved away after high school, but any time I come back to visit family, I want to come here. When I’m at home, I crave this as I have to eat the lesser Chinese near me!

The orange chicken is THE orange chicken for me. It’s super crunchy, perfectly breaded, and the chicken is long and thin which helps it cook better. The sauce is perfection. Never have I ever found an orange chicken at multiple similar Chinese restaurants that has even come close. The walnut shrimp, cream cheese wontons, and won ton soup are also favorites of my family. Even the white rice is my ideal perfect white rice. I’m getting hungry now.

The same people have always worked there, they do their job well but they aren’t always the friendliest, at times. I’m there for the food. Order take out or stop in for 40 minutes, you’ll go home full and happy.“

“My girlfriend and I went there for lunch and the food was delicious and lots of it. It was a great price too. I would recommend this restaurant to all .“

“Thoughly enjoyed our meal here, the service was fantastic and it was so cozy.
The food was delicious and prices right for the portions. I'm always looking for good Walnut Shrimp and theirs was best I've found in a long while.
I will definitely be adding them as a regular spot when I want some Chinese food.“

“Horrible service but great chinese food that doesn't make you sick after. Bathroom and dining area can be cleaner. Kitchen is clean and the food is not sloppy. The food is the best around 100%. I've been going here for years and eat here maybe once a week. I love the orange chicken, the ginger beef w/rice, pork chops, chicken noodle soup(no bone) with extra ginger/lemon sauce... don't forget to ask for the ginger sauce. The menus had everything really from seafood or cream cheese wanton to fried fish or chow main. I'd give the restaurant a 5 stars for the food alone but the waiters are horrible so 4 stars. No English and very rude . But the food!!!!“

“Regardless what some reviews said about their food vs the Welco down the street, you get a better tasting Chicken fry than Welco. Better Chow Mein than Welco. And guess what, a better value.Every time I go to Raley, Albertson and even Belair to get some Chinese food, especially hot and ready, it reminds me of my father taking me there. Now I shared the same passion. Of course every once in awhile for them hot and ready, otherwise I prefer freshly cook.Welco doesn't offer that same passion along with taste with the price hike. Smh, some reviewers need to visit Sizzling Wok with that same hunger and passion.“

“Absolutely the best Sushi ever. Highly recommend the Wagyu nigiri Actually everything was hands down amazing. The food presentation was on point as was the taste .“

“This restaurant is tucked away in a small strip mall just off Hazel and Winding Way. My friend and I were impressed with the menu, the service and the food. We both had the sweet and sour soup. It was delicious and served pipping hot. I had the appetizer steamed pot stickers and my friend had a wonderful chicken dish. Entrees are large enough to share. The dining room is small and pleasant. They do a large take out business. Drinks are all non alcoholic.“

“So far so GOOD! I will be back to try more!So far I have been there probably 10 more times. Consistently yummy, delicious hot food and a ton of it. I ordered two lunch specials it fed 4 people for lunch! I wish this was my neighborhood restaurant!! GREAT PRICES ALSO!!“
