10 Best Chinese Restaurants in Folsom

“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.“

“I have been eating at Rice Express for 30+ years! The sesame seed chicken is our absolute favorite. They are so kind, caring, and make sure to get your order correct every time! They even offer military discount which is so hard to find these days! Best Chinese food with sooo many options to choose from! Thank you for your continued food service to the Folsom community Rice Express!“

“Recently ate lunch here and was so pleasantly surprised! Our meals were made to order and you could see the cooking staff making the meals. Had Kung Pow Chicken, Won Ton Soup and a beef dish I forget. What I won’t forget is how delicious it all was. And generous portions! Needed to go boxes. This place is a hidden gem. It’s now on my radar. Hope people come in to give it a try! Really sweet staff and nothing bad to say. I love this place!“

“Dined with my co-worker before a play. Was an interesting decor and environment.
Definitely a family style dinner and since it was just 2 of us, it was too much.

I ordered veggies, but was not prepared for how much it was. It was also a bit plain, like very little salt or seasoning. We both also ordered individual rice orders and they brought it on 1 plate. Just A LOT of food.

Don't think I would go back unless I bring a large group.“

“My wife and I came here for lunch. We ordered the curry chicken and the Mongolian beef with a side of cheese puffs and white rice. The Mongolian beef was just ok but the star of our lunch was the curry chicken. The curry chicken was great. The Cheese puffs is where the meal could have had some improvement, maybe a little chives or something, not just lava hot and runny cream cheese. But for the most part a good place to eat. I will try some other dishes next time.“

“Great food and experience. We have been to many hot places across San Franciso and this one is great for Folsom . Awesome it’s also locally owned“

“Best Chinese food comparable to restaurants in Hong Kong. Beautiful ambience. The owner and servers are kind and attentive. Great prices and numerous dishes to choose from. I highly recommend Lotus 8!

Vegetarian options: Spicy eggplant is out of this world. String beans are delicious!“

“I'm so glad I finally stopped by this little dumpling shop I've passed by so often driving from Roseville to Folsom! I had their wonton soup along with an order of BBQ buns. Both items had that wholesome homemade quality that reminded me of things my mom would make. With so many places going a bit overboard with the salt and seasonings, I'm pleasantly surprised that this was not the case here. The wontons and BBQ buns were pleasantly savory without being over flavored. I would definitely come back to try their other items!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Red Hot Chilli Pepper in Folsom, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Snehal, the manager, has truly worked wonders in creating a unique and vibrant dining experience. What sets this place apart is not just its Indo Chinese cuisine but also the warm and inviting atmosphere that permeates the entire establishment. Being the only Indo Chinese restaurant in the Sacramento area, Red Hot Chilli Pepper has carved a niche for itself, and I must say, it's a niche well worth exploring. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a welcoming vibe that instantly made me feel at home. One standout aspect of my visit was the impeccable service provided by Praveen, an exceptional waiter who went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. His fast and friendly service added to the overall positive impression of the restaurant. Now, let's talk about the food--a true highlight of my visit. I started with the TROPICAL "LYCHEE" MARTINI, a delightful concoction that blended the sweetness of lychee with the kick of vodka. It set the perfect tone for the culinary journey that followed. The Chilli Chicken, ordered at medium spice level, was an absolute winner. Cooked to perfection with just the right amount of spices, it left my taste buds dancing with joy. Following that, I indulged in some vegetarian momos that were a burst of flavor and texture. The softness of the momo paired with the delicious filling made it a memorable dish. The Calcutta Chicken transported me straight to the streets of Calcutta. The authenticity of the dish was unparalleled, and I appreciated the chef's dedication to preserving traditional flavors. To wrap up my meal, I opted for the detox tea--a refreshing and healthy choice that perfectly concluded the culinary journey. The attention to detail in both food and beverages truly sets Red Hot Chilli Pepper apart. The ambiance of the restaurant is another noteworthy aspect. It's evident that careful thought has gone into creating an atmosphere that complements the dining experience. The result is an ambiance that enhances the joy of savoring each dish. In conclusion, my experience at Red Hot Chilli Pepper was nothing short of fantastic. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to indulge in more of their delectable offerings. Kudos to Snehal, Praveen, and the entire team for creating a culinary haven in Folsom!“

“Good food, and a beautiful setting to eat in.“
