Chef Mak Noodle House Reviews
my standards for beef noodles are are hostile to most establishments even in china. theyve adopted a certain pretense to them. like pizza or the burger. their transcendent quality comes from everything being just right, not spectacle. and in a lot of chinese places that even chinese people say are good, the beef noodles become a spectacle of chili crisp oil and open kitchen dough gymnastics
the hardest part to get right is a chewy dense springy thick noodle in a deep broth...read full review

Chef Mak Noodle House is a nice new spot that makes their own noodles in-house. It took over the old and beloved Macau Cafe in the Sprouts and LaBou shopping center down the street from the Sacramento Zoo. The restaurant offers a wide assortment of noodle dishes and some rice plates and dishes that can be ordered with rice. It serves Cantonese classic comfort food tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Sacramento. The ambience is rather basic decor, medium size, with fast and friendly service. The staff are polite, friendly, warm, and genuinely care about making everyone feel welcome.
The noodles are incredibly springy and dense, unattainable from anything premade, and some of the best noodles in Sacramento or anywhere else. The wonton noodle soup is great, about $16, and a pretty good serving of noodles and wontons. The Shrimp wontons soup is very tasty with mostly shrimp and the broth is perfect. The Beef chow fun has excellent smokey flavor. The Hong Kong style combination pan-fried noodles are pretty good. The House special fried rice features a combination of beef, chicken and shrimp. The beef noodle soup and scallion pancakes tasted great. The beef rolls might be about on par with ones from China, except the meat is thicker and the greens are fresher. The veggie spring rolls, pork and chive dumplings, garlic Ramen hand-pulled noodles, sweet-and-sour pork, and honey walnut shrimp came out fresh, fast, and piping hot. Everything was thoroughly enjoyed, and the flavor was not that overly sweet, processed, or Americanized version of several dishes found at other restaurants. It felt more genuine and authentic.
