50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Rio Linda

“Very kind Lady.
Patient and understanding.
I appreciate having such a friendly shop so near my house.
Especially when my family is sick and the only thing that can make them feel better is the Wonton Soup.
Practically raises the dead.“

“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 ❤️“

“Best Chinese food I’ve had in years! I had a craving and it was close to my hotel. Called in my order for takeout, 10-15min as it should be. Chow mein could’ve easily been a side for 4 people. Hot and sour soup was the best I’ve had since college. Not a fancy restaurant, legit hole in the wall that delivers! Wanted to go back for the lunch special, but it took me 2 days to finish.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The amount of food given during the lunch special is definitely worth your money. We had the orange chicken special with fried rice and chicken broccoli. All come with egg drop soup and one veggie egg roll. Great service. Enjoy!😋“

“Had their 5 course set meal for $40. Three people feasted with leftovers to go. Best food deal I've had in a restaurant in years. 3 entrees, soup, appetizer, rice. Way more food than 4 people can eat.

Food was way above average for a Chinese restaurant. Food was fresh, delicious, came out in like 5 minutes. Large menu. Coming back when passing by on I-80. This meal would cost double in Bay Area.

Though not truly 5 star place, I'm giving it 5 stars for VALUE.“

“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 am a Chef myself, there are so many Chinese restaurants in town, good chinese not so much. I have been to East side over 20 times and it is consistently great.
The atmosphere is peaceful and enjoyable, Staff are engaging and friendly and most important it is CLEAN inside.
Give this place a shot you too will LOVE it !“

“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!“

“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!“

“Total hole in the wall dim sum spot downtown that's always worth stopping in for some great food. Youu gotta get in early and with cash- they won't take a card and run out of nearly everything by late linch. The pork bao and sesame balls are amazing. Pretty solid menu ranging from dim sum to entres and side dishes- but again, their dim sum menu is what I'd recommend. The egg rolls are greasy, but if crispy greasy egg rolls are your thing- can't think of any place I've had better.“

“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.“

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

“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 :,]“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“always a 10 out of 10. love love love!!! they are so amazing!!! don't skip out on the massive fluffy pork buns and chicken and chive!!! if you are adventurous and want to try some of the amazing original plates!! the green beans will turn any sad day into a great one!!!“

“When I crave Chinese food 🥘 I only go to chef Bo...I’m always satisfied!!! Thanks for your excellent service“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 🌱🖤🍽️“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 !“

“I have been here several times by myself, today was the first time that I took one of my Asian friends the true test. I am glad to say that I was correct this place is above average in food quality and just below perfect in customer service. I definitely would recommend Pho Viet. They were definitely observing social distance procedures, and it didn't effect the great customer service.“

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

“I used to go to this place before covid happened. I tried their Singapore noodles before & didn't care for the way the chicken & shrimp were cooked. I think I came back once and tried another dish that wasn't a homerun either. During covid doors were securely locked, signs were posted everywhere stating no dining in. It was a big deal you were required to order over the phone, walk up to the door to hand your currency over. They'd lock the door go to the register to ring up your order, then bring your food and method of payment back to the locked guarded door and hand you your food along with your receipt. That was many years ago! So this week I wanted to give them another try. The doors were both accessible. Dining in is now available. There was approximately 2 sets of people dining. All the old signs to stay out and call in were gone. There's a nice long list of menu items and also a list of daily specials on a stand-up whiteboard sign. I was greeted upon entry. I ordered the eggplant 🍆 special plate with tofu. I thought I wanted to tell her to give me more veggies than tofu but, she did that naturally. the plate came with either rice or chow mein or both. I choose both so I could sample them. I also ordered 4 eggrolls which are actually vegetable eggrolls. I had asked if they sold spring rolls but she ketchup me know the eggrolls have no meat only vegetables. This was exactly what I had been looking for. I ordered my food and it all added up quickly. A little more than Ivwould have liked to pay but, itcwas well worth it. I had my food to go. Took it home and was excited to try it out. The eggplant was delicious. It was marinated and seasoned to perfection. I was pleasantly surprised. I tasted the tofu and I loved it!!! I was moving the eggplant around searching for more pieces. The texture taste and flavor was some of the best tofu I've had in years. I'm definitely going backvtovtryvthe extra mushroom tofu dish that I saw advertised on their website. So to sum it all up I had an excellent second experience. The eggplant tofu plate was delicious. They could have keptvthecrice itcwas basic and soy colored but, nothing special. Chow mein is good. Tge eggrolls were sooo good the bestvkindcwithca fresh flaky wonton crunch. Unlike others that are bready and not packed with fresh yummy vegetables. There eggrolls are greatly and I'll be back for more.“

“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.“

“I’ve been here twice now and tried a couple different things. Every order has very generous portions. Today was the sweet and sour shrimp combo, which was delicious and fresh. Last time I tried the combination meats Singapore noodles, which was equally good. I most recommend their pork and shrimp dishes!
Service was fast and polite.
The shop is small and only offers to-go orders at this time. Very convenient!“

“This place is my go-to Chinese food restaurant, and has been for about (if not more than) a year now. I always find the food here delicious, and the employees very kind. Would absolutely recommend, especially the chicken fried rice and shrimp rice noodle. Those are my personal favorites“

“It's a lovely little hole in the wall style place with a 90s atmosphere vibe in terms of the style of decor. Small staff are lovely, portions are fantastic for the price, and the food is always delicious. I've been eating here for more than five years.“

“I recently relocated to California so finding restaurants you like is aways a challenge. So this was the 4th place I tried and I have to admit so far it's the best. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very nice. This is also the first place I tried that had everything I was looking for. I definitely will be going back to it.“

“Solid Cantonese Dim Sum With Traditional Push Carts!

Ming Dynasty on Broadway in Sacramento was a Michelin Guide-recommended restaurant in 2019. It’s known for serving all-day dim sum from traditional push carts, so I considered it a good choice for Cantonese food and dim sum.

Parking: Free but limited within the complex
Ambience: Casual
Service: Decent, friendly

They also have areas you can rent for private parties, such as baby showers and other gatherings.

The dim sum carts had barely started making their way around the room when the next cart stopped by our table. The carts were constantly being refilled with a wide variety of dishes and continuously circulating, so there were plenty of options to choose from.

We ordered the usual dim sum favorites. Everything was tasty with no major issues, and the prices were reasonable.

Overall, it’s a solid choice for traditional Cantonese dim sum in Sacramento, especially if you like the old-school push-cart experience.“
