50 Best Chinese Restaurants near North Highlands

“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 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.“

“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!“

“As always, the food was the same great quality they've been known for. I tried the Bourbon Chicken for the first time, & actually enjoyed it more than my usual Orange Chicken bcuz the meat was so much more tender, bite for bite. I think that Panda should adopt this as a regular entree from now on. This visit though, our server was a bit grumpy & her service wasn't up to standard. I hope she has better days to come.“

“This is one of my favourite restaurants anywhere . . . people who live in Sacramento are so lucky! The food is so tasty . . . and it's the service. It simply doesn't get any better! Each person we encountered was focused and friendly. I'll dream of coming up with a reason to be back in Sacramento so I can return.“

“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.“

“The food here is great and the portion sizes are really big. You can easily feed 2 people on 1 meal, no problem. The service was quick and the food tasted great.
Food: We got the general chicken noodle plate and the Kung Pao chicken.

Came again and the portion sizes were still great. We got chow Mein with sesame chicken and Kung Pao.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Worth the wait. Friendly staff. Food comes out quickly. Excellent food.“

“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!“

“first things first, the service.. wow.
i’ve never been to a restaurant with such great/friendly service!
ordered chicken chow mein, steamed bbq pork buns, xiao long bao, shiu mai, walnut shrimp, thai tea and wonton soup — good size portions for a reasonable price
everything was so good! highly recommend! my new favorite spot and will definitely be back!“

“excellent old school Cantonese food! if I'm in the area I always make sure to do a huge takeout order and bring back to the Bay area!“

“Best place ever. The owners are amazing. My 2 year old son was having a tantrum and crying outside the store and the sweet lady came out with a little rice treat and gave it to him and he calmed down and said thank you. Please please please support this little treasured business.“

“Our homestead is within walking distance, I’ve tried most of the different options and not been disappointed. Huge portions Wonton soup is great and the shrimp chicken and pork dishes are excellent chow mein and bbq pork fried rice is very good.“

“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😋“

“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.“

“It's definitely worth a try! We have gone 4 or 5 times now, and the food ranged from excellent to good. The spring rolls are consistently good, and we get the peppered beef noodles every time ( hoping to have leftovers to bring home, but it's only happened once)! 😉 Very nice staff too!“

“Very good.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I placed an order for pickup from the restaurant on my birthday because I love Chinese food. The food was good. Really enjoyed the rice and broccoli beef and the orange chicken. The one thing that stood out though was how polite the ladies were when I went in to pick up the food, and they were really nice and gave me some sesame balls to try for free. Small gestures like that go a long way for me and I really appreciate the kindness. Just came here to share that they have made a repeat customer out of me just based on how they treated me yesterday. Really great people. The food's good. I will absolutely be back!“

“Very popular dim sum restaurant in the Sacramento area. Seems like they made the Michelin guide! They are noticeably very efficient and fast, being able take your order and bring out the food within like 10 minutes. And this is while actually seating every table in the restaurant.

In terms of food, everything was fresh and likely the best in Sacramento. However, nothing was really standout. Wonder whether to give a Sacramento 5 or just a 4. Still this is a reliable and top dim sum option in the area. You'll probably have to wait an hour for Sunday lunch.“

“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 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!“

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

“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.“

“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. ?????“

“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.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Stopped in just to fill my belly before a concert and had the BEST dumplings and scallion pancake I've ever eaten! And the fried sweet buns were to die for! Not to mention the incredibly friendly folks that helped us. I will make sure to stop in every chance I get!“

“I come here regularly with my family (both Togo and dine in). Their food is delicious and authentic… even my picky Chinese father loved the food here. I’d recommend this place 100%.

They like certain things to be as fresh as possible for togos so they may not finish some of your Togo items until you get there… to avoid veggies and saucy things from getting soggy. So you might have to wait a bit for your pick up. But trust me, it’s much better this way… in terms of the quality of the food; don’t expect it to be like a quick in and out and you’ll be fine.

Here are our go tos: won ton soup (with or without noodles), chicken chow mein no veggies (kids), Peking pork chops, fish filet with string beans, seczhuan shrimp, baked sea bass (30 min prep), and maybe a salt and pepper dish.“

“Always try to come here whenever I'm in the area. Sometimes they are closed and get depressed. Amazing food and tastes authentic. Fresh ingredients and friendly owners. Great place❤️

Vegetarian options: There is vegetarian options. You can even request vegetarian versions of original dishes.

Kid-friendliness: Is kid friendly.

Parking: Free parking, but try to be quicks because Sac PD like to give parking tickets on competitive parking areas like Broadway.“

“The Egg Foo Young was amazing!! Big, fluffy, flavorful egg patties with bean sprouts and green onion, perfectly cooked. The accompanying sauce was delicious with carrot, zucchini, broccoli, onion, mushroom, bok choy, and celery. Also loved the Katsu chicken. Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside. Generous portions, reasonably priced. Also must give a shout out to the wait staff. Pleasant, friendly, and accommodating. Recommend.“

“I’m always looking for new Chinese restaurants and this was recommended on Nextdoor Neighbor. We tried it and are fans. The lunch special is such a good deal with plenty of food for not much money. But the real deal is that the food is delicious! Fresh tasty, flavorful, hot and authentic. Try this neighborhood gem…it’s well worth the trip.“

“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 👌🏼“

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

“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.“

“We moved to Roseville 6 months ago & we have been trying out different restaurants here. We continue to try many different places but after trying CJF , it is in our list of favorites. We go there at least every 1-2 weeks , have brought family there & recommended it to friends. Very nice !“

“It was busy at 530, but not overwhelming. Unfortunately our server wanted to turn and burn us. Soup came before drinks and was not hot. Sent back for more heat and asked if we might enjoy our drinks for a minute. She indicated that she had already put in our entrees...sorry! Too bad for us I guess.“

“This is my go to spot for Sunday dim sum. Pretty solid offerings and the staff are friendly and helpful. They take a minute telling you all the options they have on their cart and if you are looking for something else, they will track it down for you. Consistently good food/service for the last 8 years I have been going.“

“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 .“
