50 Best Chinese Restaurants near North Highlands

“The portions are huge. The best chow mein ever. Great price. Place clean but not fancy. The customer service is awesome. Lunch and dinner special is good has two choices : sweet and sour pork with fried rice and chow mein or beef broccoli with fried rice and chow mein.“

“I always get worried ordering at a new Chinese restaurant. Sometimes the meat can be funky or the portions are gross. Or all the sauce taste the same. I came here tonight and was so impressed! Service was prompt and attentive and the food was sooooo good. Got the sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, and cashew chicken plus the chow main. Im a huge critic when it comes to cashew chicken! This was garlicky, saucy,, all the right veggies, fresh tender white meat slices of chicken. The Mongolian beef was def my second favorite. wayyyy too much food. But not a single
Complaint. I found me my new spot!“

“One of the first times ordering from DoorDash to deliver to my elderly mother. I ordered her favorite crab cheese wontons. But when she received them she said they were fried to much. That they were hard to eat. She had to break in half to eat the center of it. I also got some chow mein and fried rice. Which she said was really delicious. And some wonton soup for my brother who wasn’t feeling well. Overall the food was really good. Just a little disappointed about the fried wontons. Will still most likely order again in the future. Perhaps to get a better batch of the crab wontons.“

“⭐ Absolute Rip-Off and Unacceptable Customer Service
I spent over $20 on food here and they couldn’t even extend the basic courtesy of giving me a cup of water. When I brought the issue up to the manager, they completely doubled down and refused as well. On top of the awful service, the food was plain nasty and not worth a single penny. Save your money and go somewhere that actually respects their customers.“

“another terrific dinner tonight. server:Sherry was great-knowledgeable about the menu. attentive friendly. always a super place for special occasions & treating yourselves.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been coming to this place with my family since I was a child, and now that I have my own family, it means so much to be able to bring them here too. It’s one of those special spots that truly stands the test of time. The staff are always so friendly, kind, and welcoming—you can feel it the moment you walk in. They make you feel like more than just a customer, and that kind of service is hard to find. And the cook—he is AMAZING! You can tell he takes pride in what he does. Every bowl is cooked perfectly and tastes incredible every single time. It’s honestly part of what keeps us coming back. The restaurant is also very clean and well-maintained, and they do a great job keeping everything stocked and fresh. The Mongolian bar is always being refilled, so you never feel like you’re missing out. This place isn’t just a restaurant for me—it’s a tradition. So grateful it’s still here for my family to enjoy ❤️“

“Ordered Black Milk Tea with Boba added, and boy, was I impressed! It was sweet but the sweetness was not overpowering, and the flavor was so pronounced, in an amazing way! I haven't ordered anything else there, that's for another day, but I know I'll be coming back for this milk tea with boba!“

“This place rocks. If you want authentic pancakes with your Mu Shi Pork and if you want authentic potstickers that taste yummy this is the place for you! Everything I ate was good and reasonably priced.

Unfortunately their AC was out today and it was 106 degrees in my car. I didn't want to give them a 4/5 for atmosphere, but I had to honestly.

These are great people!!! Support the ma & pa businesses when they are better than 99% of what's in Sacramento County!!! Support Szechuan Garden! <3“

“Had them twice and both times have been great. I needed one more visit to make a judgment call. First visit was kung pao chicken and it was very delicious. But I needed to try a fried plate like general chicken. The general chicken is fire! It’s not all breading! You’re getting full on chicken and the sauce is crazy! Very delicious. They are the truth no doubt.“

“Nice food, quality service and clean“

“Bbq pork buns were everything I was hoping they would be. You can tell that lots of love goes into making their food. It was a great way to start my Friday for me and my team.

I will definitely be going back. They have a number of different items that I wanted to try.

Make sure that you bring cash because this is a cash only spot and they will turn you away if you try to offer Venmo or any other form of electronic payment.

Overall, worth every penny.“

“Good Food. Good Prices. I try to stop in whenever I’m in Sacramento.“

“The best and authentic dumpling spot in town. You can see through a glass window how they make dumplings so you know its not some frozen packaged dookie. Soup dumplings and pork dumplings were my favorite. Other dishes like chicken chowmein, walnut shrimp, and orange chicken are exceptionally good and not even comparable to panda express. Really really good food. Highly recommend.“

“This place has been around for 59 years and counting. It was my first time there and I ordered the shrimp fried rice and got some beer all in one spot! I love it. The food was great and the service was too. The owner was very nice and helpful.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I'm always scared to try new places. The reviews were good so I decided to give them a try. Worth the 5 stars. W all had different plates and my kids said theirs were really good. They give a lot of food. I'll definitely have this on my list of to go places.“

“One of my favorite Chinese food restaurants! The food is great with a large selection of lunch specials to choose from. Delicious food with large portions. This time with the sweet and sour chicken lunch special that also comes with a cup of hot and sour soup. Super stuffed! 😁😋😎“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I have been searching for a new place I love and this may be it! Everything was delicious! We had Mongolian beef and sweet and sour chicken combos. The noodles were great, meat perfectly seasoned, and perfect crisp on the chicken. Will be back to try more.“

“Great food!! Me and wife my love this place we found it about a year ago when a place we used to go to changed owners and the cook, the taste completely changed and we found Jade, the portions are massive while still having a ton of flavor. We come here atleast 2 times a month I say to everyone don’t walk run!“

“Absolutely wonderful dining experience! The quality of the food was outstanding, and every dish was beautifully presented with great attention to detail. Everything looked elegant and appetizing, and the flavors were just as impressive.

The restaurant itself is spacious, bright, and very comfortable, creating a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. From the food quality and presentation to the overall dining environment, everything exceeded my expectations. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an excellent dining experience. Five stars!“

“Wow! Finally, a GREAT chinese restaurant in this part of town. I have been to a lot of chinese restaurants in my life and this one really stands out for excellent with many authentic dishes. May was our server. She was wonderful. May helped us select dishes. The food was fresh and the produce was super fresh and clean. We tried the Magic Chili Chicken, absolutely delicious and spicy. The Chow Fun was the best I have ever had, wonderful flavors. We also tried the Spicy Pork Dumpling appetizer, amazing flavors and the sauce was so good I was eating it with a spoon. We got our usual General Tao's Chicken, but theirs was so good, the flavors. Not your typical version swimming in a heavy sugar syrup. I actually felt good after eating dinner there. We are going back next week, I can't wait any longer, and we are excited to try more dishes.“

“HOW DARE you guys close on Sunday and have a day off. Just kidding LOL. We were craving Prime Wok this Sunday and my wife and I were joking it was closed, and it was actually closed.. 😂 😭

Thank you guys for the great food, see you guys Monday lol. 20 stars, 100% recommend this place 😋“

“We did take out and were very pleased with our food and we have high dumpling and bun expectations. It may have been our poor ordering, but the mapo tofu was gross. The bbq pork buns were solid. We're saving the soup dumplings for next time!“

“First time here. Went here for a quick bite before an event at the Cathedral with my sister. Staff was very helpful. Ordered Dumpling soup (chicken) and the Hao Bao Garden Set. The server /staff split our soup. I asked her at first if it was something we can share but I ended up adding the Hao Bao Garden Set. I didn’t expect her to split the soup which was very nice and thoughtful. We had our food within 10 minutes. Delicious and fresh. Very filling. Packed the Hao Bao Garden Set (dumplings with flaky scallion pancake) to-go. Thank you.“

“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!“

“Yue Huang in the Natomas area earns its hype in the Sac area. There is almost always a line for dim sum on the weekends so be prepared for that. YH is a fun place to go to because the exterior and bathrooms scream Macaroni Grill, but walking inside it becomes a classic Chinese dim sum banquet hall! This review is based on their dim sum menu.

Yue Huang has a bunch of options and my wife and I intend to eat through their entire menu to try to distill our favorite things. So far we have thoroughly enjoyed their shanghai pan-fried buns, steam rice roll w/breadstick, steam golden shrimp rice roll, and crispy pork belly.

I highly recommend you go with a group of adventurous eaters because as any good dim sum veteran knows: more people means more dishes you can try!“

“This is one of those “hole in the wall” spots with really great food and decent prices you don’t wanna miss! We stopped here on a whim, and walked in to a completely empty unassuming place where they had an s Warriors game on TV (which we loved as Dub heads lol) and sat down. We ordered honey walnut shrimp (YUM) and a variety of other dishes that were really, really great! We walked out full with enough food for dinner both of us and lunch for him the next day 😂 Definitely going back - I keep thinking about that honey walnut shrimp and the pork fried rice!“

“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.“

“I moved and miss this place so much. I live in portland oregon now and I have yet to find a place that even compares to blue sky. Used to go all the time as a teen and their portions are amazing and their price has barely changed since before covid. One day ill drive back down and have good chow mein again <3 :,]“

“Great spot for a classic Chinese meal! The portions are huge and the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Everything tasted fresh and hit the spot. A solid 4/5 experience—definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a satisfying, affordable dinner.“

“We decided to try this place on a whim since we pass by it diving to our gym all the time. We ordered pork fried rice, pork chow mien, general Tao chicken, and Mongolian beef. 2 adults and one very hungry teenager ate and we had enough for left overs for all of us the next day. The food was the best Chinese food I've had in a while and definitely the best tasting in the area. Portions were generous, staff was super friendly, place was clean... what more could you ask for? We're already ordering again since my son requested it for his birthday dinner. This is now our go to for Chinese.“

“Its actually really good coming from a person who had more than 50 hotpot price is good and taste is the best. The worker or owner(not sure) was very nice and i loved it. It was worth driving 25min to try it. I got a lot of ingredients but it was $20. I got szechuan soup base. Only thing is that they dont have peanut sauce. 마라탕맛이고 정말 맛있어영 꼭 드세요 가격도 다른 가게 대비 좋습니다.“

“Overall, it was a decent experience. However, the portion sizes were somewhat disappointing, and the noodles were overly salty.
The dumplings were good, the service was decent, and the atmosphere had the charm of an old-school Chinese restaurant. I expected much more based on the reviews, but in the end, it was still a reasonably enjoyable meal.“

“Lotus Fusion is the best in Sacramento, beyond what mere words can describe. The service is outstanding. Portions are incredibly generous, with outstanding flavor and superb freshness of ingredients. The Honey Walnut Shrimp and Orange Chicken is enough food for multiple days or multiple people.“

“I’ve been here twice now and I can’t believe how good it is. I can’t say that I know what authentic Chinese food is, but the taste is very different from the usual Chinese-American places. It reminds me of places in Chinatown in San Francisco.

I had the Kung pao chicken and Chongqing chicken (which already tells you that it’s not your usual place) and they’re very flavorful while not being overtly sweet or salty. I also get an idea of a Chinese restaurant based on the hot and sour soup and this place makes one of the best in the area. It’s different enough to notice.

I highly recommend this place for anyone who loves Chinese-American food, but wants something a bit different from the 99% of the Chinese restaurants out there. And you can also have the usual chow mein or orange chicken if you want.“

“I love the food and the service they are so nice they make the food is SUPER fast! That places food is my comfort food! The orange chicken is my favorite and they never messed it up. If you haven’t already eaten the food you should!“

“Amazing pho and I appreciate that they take a student discount for Sacramento State students. My friend and I used to go to other pho places that would be very busy and would forget requests that we would have, but this location would be very attentive and remember if we had asked for more water, limes, etc. I love the calm vibe and it is so relaxing after a long day at work.“

“This place has delicious food and friendly staff. I highly recommend checking this place out. My friend recommended it to me now I enjoy coming here. The Crispy tofu is my favorite 🌱🖤🍽️“

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

“Best chinese food in the Sacramento area. My wife and I were super excited to find this location near us, we will be regular and repeat customers for sure. We love spicy dishes, and we ordered some non-spicy for our kids with us, all bangers. We ordered the beef noodles, the green bean with eggplant, the pork and cauliflower, and the white fish in peppercorn soup. All excellent, very friendly staff. If you are new to Sacramento area or just passing through looking for authentic chinese food you will not be dissapointed.“

“We ordered food for pickup. Food was ready when they said it would be. Their wontons are really good and their vegetable chow mein. I’d highly recommend this place - there are so many Chinese restaurants in the area. This one is worth the drive.“

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

“Looking for delicious Chinese food. I came here a couple times and wanted to see if my 3rd time was as I remembered. Yes, the food is as tasty as I remembered. the wide noodle chow fung, sweet and sour pork and fried rice were all good. Big portions too. For a solo person this is portions for a 5 person meal. Staff is wonderful and attentive, prices are nicely not overpriced and it is a cute restaurant. However, it can get noisy and seating is limited. Definitely a highly recommended restaurant.“

“The most generous people ever! I came in late and they served me to go with a smile! The Mongolian Beef was the best I've ever had, lots of meat that was tender, not overcooked and the Chicken String Bean was superb! The chicken was tender and the beans were as fresh as just being picked from the garden.
I'll be back, in fact I'm not going anywhere else! Oh, last comment, the price is very good!“

“This was the absolute best authentic Chinese food that I have ever had. I heard about this place and flew from Dallas to try it. I was so blown away that I had to meet the master chef. He was gracious enough to pose for a photo with me. I will definitely be coming back every chance I get. If you want the best, I highly recommend dining here. You will not be disappointed.“

“This place is our go to since moving to the area 3 years ago. I feel confident in saying that this place is great and I recommend it. It is only to go, no dining in. The service is always super friendly and fast. The portions are large! Favorites are the orange chicken, tomato beef chow mein, honey walnut shrimp, house fried rice and brocolli beef. Yum yum! I love supporting this kind and yummy family business. It also feels very clean and the food is good quality.“
