“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“

“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 .“

“Delicious solid food in a humble little place. Yes, a tasty cheap meal does exist. If you’re down for a no nonsense sort of place that thrives as a takeout place and doubles as a restaurant this is it. I ate here twice this week while staying at a nearby hotel. Friendly service. Generous portions. Great prices. Leftovers for sure. What else do you need?“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Decided to go eat some Chinese food this morning at east side chef the food was okay the service one waitress was very nice then you have the other one who had an attitude and also whoever thought they would charge $2.75 for a tiny cup of tea things change with time will I go back No I decided to go back again because the food was okay the first time when I went back I got a male server he was much nicer than the lady with the glasses and short hair she was in the kitchen the rice was hard luncheon specials had no shrimp in it I will not return for sure when you order their shrimp fried luncheon specials make sure you get some shrimp will be praying for them in Jesus Name 🙏 I went back to this restaurant since the last time that I was there the food is always good The service change everyone was very nice I just don't like eating out of their dinner plates I don't like the symbols on the plates so I won't eat out of the plate anymore but the food in the atmosphere was good I enjoyed my dinner there this time and the waitress was wonderful“

“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.“

“Have been here multiple times and it is by far my favorite food spot in the West Sacramento area. They offer delicious traditional Chinese dishes as well as a Mongolian BBQ set up. I often choose their orange chicken w/ steamed or fried rice luch/dinner combo. The serving sizes are very generous and the prices are very affordable! The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is clean and spacious. I have to add this too, their bathrooms are very clean! I really do love visiting this restaurant. Whenever I'm in the West Sacramento area, I try to make my way over to Hing's! Highly recommended!“

“Very good.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“My favorite go/to to satisfy my Dimsum craving. Clean. Fast service. Filling small dimsum plates. Only thing is tea is $2 per person but only one tea pot. Comp tea could have been better. Management should consider offering tea for free. This would be a good service to customers.“

“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.“

“Food was amazing! The portions are bigger than they appear in the pictures, which is rare to get more food than you would assume. It has been a very long time since I received customer service that great! The lady there went above and beyond and was soo nice! Only down side is parking in the area is not ideal, but that has nothing to do with the restaurant itself.

Please try this place you will love it!“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had their Broccoli Beef Combination .. good portions and tasty. Take out only.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent quality and flavor. We ordered Siu mai, steamed pork and soup dumplings, but the real stars were the shrimp and pea shoot dumplings. I was definitely surprised about this location at a ghost kitchen and food pick up spot located in the north downtown area. Be aware that this is a automated/screen order venue that only accepts mobile payments and no cash.“

“We ordered for the first time tonight and I am so upset that we haven’t ordered from here before. The food is so fresh and flavorful. The shrimps were plump and everything felt so fresh and of high quality. We will definitely be eating here again.“

“Quick service with a smile! Reasonably priced! My food was super hot just like I love it!“

“We wanted to try some Chinese food and found this little place. We ordered the pan-fried noodles with beef and the sweet and sour pork. The noodles were good, but I was disappointed with the sweet and sour pork. Most of what I ate was batter. There was very little meat in the dish.“

“i went there with my brother last night and it was great, i love the place, very clean and very affordable, food was awesome, ive been finding and asking for a chinese restaurant that can go beyond my duty schedule and now i finally found one here in Sac,, at last i can say now these place may lessen my craving for the city where i stayed for at least 2 years, Flushing, NY...hehehe...“

“Yesterday was the first time we went to this excellent restaurant. But It is absolutely not the last. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the generous service, with the fine dishes and booze and with the modest charge. We will definitely return there in a short time.“

“Panda Express has solved the big chain issue of different service and tastes per loction. Have dined at many locations and staff is always friendly and good is consistently good. As a Panda fan, one goes to a new location with the tastes buds geared upfor what they have come to expect. Not disappointed.“

“Honestly ive driven past this place a million times and never paid it any attention until my usual spot went down hill om quality. Took the chance tonight and Im so glad I did. Everything was fresh and tender with a lot of flavor. Im upset I didnt try here any sooner.“

“I have been ordering here for over 2 years and my experience is always the same. Quick and professional service delivered to my front door within 45 minutes. Food is always fresh. The only thing I have ordered that I wasn't 100% pleased with was their chicken wings and that was because the bread on them was too thick for my liking. Other than that I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an affordable, tasty chinese food experience. A personal favorite is the BBQ pork fried rice which comes with a bed of yummy pieces of pork on top.“

“Food was sooooo good!! Will definitely go back.“

“Very nice clean restaurant. On today's visit I ordered the orange chicken and chicken chow mein, and a side order of Mongolian beef.

The orange chicken was great. The glaze had a crispy crunch like you'd want if you were eating fried chicken. The sweetness was low but balanced with the orange flavor and had pleasant subtle flavoring. Total perfection.

The chicken chow mein was cooked perfectly. The noodles were lightly coated and the flavor was light but perfect and balanced well with the orange chicken.

The Mongolian beef was excellent, came with a healthy dose of veggies, and had multiple flavors that danced on the tongue. The oils added an enhanced but light subtle flavor. In my photos I took a photo of the dish, and half the dish so you could see the oils. The oils were also great to lightly toss my chow mein with the veggies to enhance the flavor even more. The only down side was their was zero spicy and hear factor to the Mongolian beef. Your grandparents could safely eat it. Im used to my Mongolian beef being spicy with a good kick of heat to my palette. However this is my first visit to lucky wok and I am factoring in I should've asked as some restaurants customize heat to the customer's request and use mild to low spicy/heat by default.

The combination plate also comes with a soup of the day for free on dine-in orders only. Today's soup of the day was an excellent egg drop soup. It was delightful. Full of subtle flavor, and that wonderful broth which is rich and thick.

There was plenty of seating and the interior has a nice chic vibe and atmosphere. The ac was just right for comfort. The staff was friendly, polite, and attentive.

I'd recommend this spot for a family outing, or for lunch or dinner on the go as they specialize in take out and delivery.“

“Ive been going to this restaurant for over 35 years & im telling ya it is 1 of the 2 very BEST Chinese food restaurants I've ever been to in my life! Dont let the lil hole in the wall spot fool ya, I guarantee you once you try their food you will be back again & again!
Ps. if you like 🦀 try the Ginger CRAB, it's a MUST have!“
