50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Sacramento

“What a wonderful experience! The 86th Anniversary Menu was the perfect selection of Frank Fat's greatest hits and the service was outstanding. Incredible staff. Drinks were delicious and ambiance was authentic and elevated. 10/10 recommendation to anyone spending an evening in Downtown Sacramento!“

“If you’re looking for authentic Chinese food and restaurant, then this is the place for you. Service was great! Very attentive and quick. Lots of options to choose from. Food was very good too. Will definitely be back. Lots of parking available too.“

“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“

“As a hotpot lover, I could never fine a better place in Sac then Grand Hotpot Lounge. I visited this place 4th time in a month. The happy hour option is just the BEST! If you like AYCE and great options with hotpot then you can’t miss it out. Definitely will come back with more friends.“

“My husband and I are newer to the Sacramento area so we haven’t found too many go-to spots yet. We wanted Chinese food and so I looked up places around us and this one had really good reviews. It was about 20 minutes from where we live. The staff was very very friendly, they checked in with us and asked if we needed anything as we ate. We got two different combination plates and a side of potstickers. The plates come with whatever main item you choose and pork fried rice and chicken chow mein unless you tell them otherwise. The plates were pretty packed, the food was hot/fresh and it was very delicious. The potstickers are fried but not overly crunchy which we like. Very good and affordable compared to other places we looked at. The only downside is there is no restroom and nowhere to go in that little plaza and it smelt like someone was smoking cigarettes in the back. Other than that, it was a great first time experience and we will definitely come back!“

“Every time you come to or pass by Sacramento, you must come to this famous "OLD GUI LINE" Rice noodles shop in Beiwan to eat a big bowl! The boss is a conscientious businessman. Each bowl of Rice noodles is served with two kinds of meat and soup. Customers can add about 10 kinds of seasonings at will. The key is free of tips! No tips! Each person can eat very full for $15 (including tax), making every guest satisfied. Merchants must be given full marks!“

“The food was really really good, we had soup pork dumplings, pan fried pork buns and cheese rangoons. The food was so good, the staff and service were nice and quick. If you're looking for a quick and delicious meal I'd recommend you eat here!“

“If you're looking for a place to enjoy delicious and reasonably priced Chinese dim sum, this is a hidden gem you must visit. The dim sum is impressive, featuring classics like har gow, siu mai, and char siu bao, all made with fresh ingredients and bursting with authentic flavors.

The prices are wallet-friendly, making it easy to indulge in multiple dishes without breaking the bank. Each bite reflects the care and expertise of the kitchen staff, elevating even the simplest dishes into something memorable.

The restaurant's atmosphere is warm and welcoming, complemented by a team of attentive and friendly staff who go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Whether you're a dim sum enthusiast or a first-timer, they'll happily guide you through the menu.

Overall, Yi Long Dumpling combines great food, affordability, and excellent service into an experience you’ll want to repeat. Be sure to stop by on the weekend to enjoy those freshly baked buns! Highly recommended!“

“Topping are solid, but this can get pricey real fast at $13.99/lb. You can easily get to 2 lbs if you’re not being careful. I personally tried the Classic Bone Broth without knowing what mala chili was… WHOOPS. It’s a spicy numbing chili, so if you’re not used to the mala chili numbing burning sensation stay away from it. Lots of options in the sauce bar and service was pretty straightforward and nice.“

“I popped in here for a beverage, and I couldn't ignore the Aroma of delicious Chinese food. I had asked Tony if it was their lunch or they made food and boy was I happy to get some pork fried rice to go. It was absolutely delicious a healthy serving and super fast. Definitely some of the best fried rice I've ever had“

“First time coming to this place, I’m so glad that they opened in Sacramento as I’m always craving for some Chinese local food such as skewers and spicy food 🥘. Price is reasonable to me that they currently have discount for students and those who shared the their promotion flyer on social media. Must try: lamb / pork belly with mushrooms/ oyster/ pancakes/ rice noodles and dumplings 🥟. Will come back soon:) good luck on your new business 🤗“

“Best seafood restaurant to eat at“

“I’ve been eating here for several years Very tasty and delicious authentic Chinese food from Guilin. The price is also in a good range. I really like the crispy pork which gives rich texture. Beef is also a great option. Their soup base is one of the best in Sac area.“

“Wanted to try everything on the menu however our stomachs were not up for the challenge. Went in during lunch time and it wasn’t too busy and we were quickly seated. Ordered something from pretty much each section of the menu and each dish had its own unique flavor. The standout for me has to be the green beans and the shrimp pumpkin salted egg dishes. However the other dishes were equally as wonderful. Great environment to dine in and very clean. Also, the waiters there were extremely sweet and welcoming which added on to the overall dining experience. Can’t wait to return to try other dishes off the menu, I’m pretty sure it will taste delicious!“

“One of my favorite Chinese comfort foods. I started coming in 1986. I haven't been here in 7 years. Scrambled eggs with BBQ pork and veggies over rice Hoisen sauce Blend chili oil, soy sauce and hot mustard and then drench the plate.“

“I enjoy the food very much. Sometimes I make special requests (no salt) and they are very great about accommodating me. Delivery is always curious and polite. The location is perfect if I choose to walk to the restaurant🙃“

“Best snackz! I've introduced so many humans to this place. It's well worth the visit! You'll be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Authentic and delicious Chinese cuisine. Staff are friendly, food is good and prices are reasonable. Definitely a go-to for when the need for some delicious general chicken or fried rice is required.They have ample seating room and tables are low enough to support wheelchairs.“

“This is a cozy little Chinese restaurant that has incredible food. Best Orange chicken, Beef fried rice, and Wonton Soup. It’s a great location for casual dining. Prices are reasonable. Staff is attentive and efficient. My husband and I highly recommend. Looking forward to coming back.“

“I was thinking the serving and the number of dumplings were not a lot considering it was only $11 but I was wrong! There were actualIy 10 dumplings on it. I was not able to finish it so I had to take it home. It could be good for two persons as long as you’re not that hungry.“

“This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants to go with family. I really love the Ambiance inside they have a big seating area where you can have a table of 10 or more. They even have small tables as well. They also give you mango juice or Hong Kong iced tea on the house when you dine in which is a really nice touch. Some of my favorite dishes here is their special chow mein with seafood. The noodles is very fresh egg noodles and they put a lot of vegetables and seafood and different Meats as well. Also we love their shredded chicken salad which comes with lettuce and cilantro and has it really nice fresh flavor. We also like ordering their sweet and sour spirits. The pork spirit is soft and tender and has a really nice Tangy sauce. Also we love ordering their pork knuckle which is a really big bone and has some meat and they even cut up the meat and each meat piece has a crispy pig skin on top. Also we love ordering their fried rice which is very comforting and also very flavorful and we like ordering the salt fish with chicken fried rice. They also have amazing Clay Pot rice with different toppings like black bean sauce spirits and then also dry duck and Chinese sausage in The Clay Pot rice. Overall they provide really good service and always pay attention to detail and making sure our tea and water is always not empty. Also the parking outside is quite big so there is lots of parking but sometimes it gets full and we need to park across the street. Have you been what's your favorite and what is your to go to order if you've been here. Thanks for reading and have a yelptastic day.“

“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“

“Very good.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The food here was fantastic!

The fried pork chops were flavorful with just the right kick from fresh peppers. The beef chow fun was perfectly smoky and balanced, with tender beef and chewy noodles. And the eggplant was a standout, being so sweet!

The service is great too. This is my second time and will come again“

“My friend told me that the New China Restaurant in the Pocket Area is under new management, and they have new menus and new chefs. We decided to have our dinner there last night.I found out they have a new sign at the front door, and the dining room is completely remodeled. The dining room is brand new and comfortable.They have new menus, including many Hong Kong-style yummy dishes and drinks. Some sections listed are coming soon. I can't wait to see more delicious items added to their menu in the near future.All the dishes we get are so good, and we have excellent services. New China is my favorite restaurant in Sacramento now!

Parking: They have more parking space in the parking lot with a short walk if the parking in front of the restaurant is full.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is wheelchair friendly“

“Simply good food and dining in with a good atmosphere!!!!“

“I been coming here for years. I love ordering from the Lunch Specials Monday through Saturday 11:00AM to 3:00PM. I love #1 Sweet & Sour pork served with Pork Fried Rice & Pork Chow Mein. I always order to go the Chow Fun- Chicken Chow Fun-"Dry" so good. This is one of my favorite restaurants. Tell a friend a co-worker and family this one of the best restaurant's to go too ❤️ 👍“

“Thoughly enjoyed our meal here, the service was fantastic and it was so cozy.
The food was delicious and prices right for the portions. I'm always looking for good Walnut Shrimp and theirs was best I've found in a long while.
I will definitely be adding them as a regular spot when I want some Chinese food.“

“I think they have the best chow mein in town. And they make really good hamburgers (and perfect fries) for less than any of our local chain store/fast food places.Their broccoli beef is super yummy too. So to their fried rice. I haven't tried much else from their extensive menu but I suppose I should because I like all their food that I have tried. I am also very sensitive to MSG and have never ever gotten a headache after eating their food; and I react quickly and painfully to even a trace of that stuff in my food.
This is a take-out location. There is no seating for eating there, but they are fast with any order. Call your order in and it'll be ready when you get there.“

“We got there at 11:30 and there were seats and tables available.
We ordered the food and the dishes came out pretty fast. D1 always hits the spot!
The ladies there were very attentive, they noticed we had a baby and they gave us a pair of scissors and plastic utensils.“

“Love this place. Been going since early 90s. Moved to North Carolina back in 2001 and yes I shipped C for four to north carolina. Worth every penny. Coming back to Sac this week for vacation. Always a place I go when visiting. In the south everybody talks about soul food. It's good and all but this is truly my soul food.“

“Jade Foundation Cafe is a restaurant known by almost all Chinese in Sacramento. They are one of the best wonton noodle soup restaurants. They are famous for their wontons and dumplings with or without the noodles. The beef stew and pig feet are also my favorite dishes there too. They also have many yummy Chinese dishes, and porridge is also available. The service is fast and attentive.

Parking: The parking lot is very tiny and shared with many businesses and restaurants. Street parking is available but also hard to get.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is wheelchair friendly“

“Kai was my server. First of all, this restaurants veggies are crisps, tasty, and just great tasting vegetables. Man, oh man, we ate the family meal deal, and it was super filling. Yous hear me!
No soggy food, no soggy veggies, great service, and KAI was phenomenal as a server! Boom, Bam, AWESOMENESS all around! Plus, the price was right for being in California and all!!!!!“

“Why do the serve spaghetti at a Chinese restaurant? It taste good though. Smothered in cheese. I think the sauce is sweet and sour sauce. Happy hour drinks take forever to prepare and service needs work. Minus one star. Try the giant pork leg too.“

“friendly staff, clean. very popular food is good“

“Sonora location. Tried when first opened and few weeks ago. It was clean (new) and great service. Re-visited yesterday and totally the opposite! Counter was dirty, all food was low. It was 4 o’clock and not busy. The cook, other gentleman and waitress was very unprofessional and unsanitary! The cook, yes while wearing gloves, continued to touch dirty services and our food. At one point he had his cell phone in his hand looking at it while cooking our food. Phone back in dirty pocket, touching his hair then back to cooking our food! The conversation between the three of them were load and unprofessional. I was so ready to leave! Definitely won’t be returning anytime soon.“

“I love love this place food is delicious and the people are great everyone is friendly and they give you lots of food I've been eating here for like 10 years“

“My wife and I stopped here after being in the area for shopping and it was the Best chinese ive had im years the fried rice was great and the chow mein had the best garlicy pan fried flavored noodles i also really loved the salt and pepper shrimp . The service was great the atmosphere was nice and quiet and food taste like good old school flavored chinese i had alot of leftovers and took them home to my Duaghter and she fell in love“

“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.“

“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!“

“Wings restaurant is such a great place to eat, I came in almost closing time and the young gentleman who took my order was such a good sport about taking my huge order ... For one,.. one person... He made me feel comfortable as well as welcoming to ask "how many days will all this food last... One person? He chuckled and responded with" alot of days." That's the plan I said in return. Lol ... Great place to get some amazing mouth watering grub for the soul.. well and my thighs. Lol

Parking: I am not too fond of downtown Sacramento but this is right off of J Street and it was so easy to get to that location“

“We were traveling to Lake Tahoe. We passed through Sacramento and ate Asian food called Yum Cha Cafe (on the right side of the Shunfa SF Supermarket on 65th Street. We ate their roast duck, barbecued pork buns, shrimp balls, and barbecue. , fried noodles, siomai, their roast duck is so famous and really delicious. Very good seasoning, very fresh, plump and elastic meat. This is the most valuable roast duck in this area. I only had it in Hong Kong last time. I'm so happy today. I tasted such a good taste again. My family and I are very happy. I recommend it to everyone. You must try it. It's incredible.“

“Been going here since I was a kid 80s 90s and now. Never disappoints.
I strongly recommend the honey walnut prawns lunch.
Comes with the soup of the day and a egg roll nice and hot and crispy

Parking: About 15 spaces available“

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

“I came over via bus on the way back home from university, decided to drop by to eat the lunch special with Mongolian beef and chow mien. Bill came out to twenty (fifteen with the special + hot tea, five dollar tip). The beef and chow mien were alright, they were nothing special but there was an degree of flavor with the way the sauce and chili coated the beef and kneaded in with the (meatless) chow mien section. At the time of my visit, this place has the hallmarks of an 1980s holdover Chinese restaurant joint, with paper posters, gold-leaf printed olive carpet, plastic ivy, and those good ol, chunky chopsticks, cool natural lighting and ceramic plates.“
