50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Sacramento

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 ❤️“

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

“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 is a great stop in Sacramento for good dumplings, beef noodle soup, etc. It's pretty high in the authentic meter all around. We usually get Xiao Long Baos, Dumplings, Beef Noodle Soup, sometimes stir fried noodles. They are so very well made and the owner is quite friendly and accommodation, even when there are large crowds.“

“Food, quality, service everything was a 10/10. The side dishes were some of my favs. The crispy fried fish, honey walnut shrimp, seaweed salad everything was cooked to perfection. I will be coming back each time I’m back in Sacramento.“

“Kiwi juice with Boba is so good my favorite.

For some reason I thought this was the same as lollicup lol but this is the restaurant side. Never been here before, the lady that answered the phone when I called didn’t really want to help but I understand because I didn’t know exactly what was the name of the soup I was looking for ( my niece recommended) but expected that in person she would be more friendly but she was in the middle ( nice but rude at the same time) but I have to be honest the soup I got it was number A16 was not good for my taste and my honest opinion, had no flavor, I expected more , will I come again? Yeah maybe , and maybe try something different .“

“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.“

“The Google description hits on all the great things about this place. The food is legit, the people working are really helpful and kind. For example, they recommended we order less cause the portions are large enough for 2 kids to share 1 bowl. That attitude is appreciated. Food came out quick, the foods delicious and fresh. Will definitely make my way back here.“

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

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

“My all time favorite.The best Mongolian Beef ever. I've tried 5 different restaurants and none are as good or even compare to this restaurant. I bought my family dinner last night and they said that they won't go anywhere else from now on. I highly recommend this establishment.“

“Pan fried… any filling… all the sauces.

Have been coming for years.

Now live an hour and a half away and still make the drive.

Don’t miss this place.

I like the dumplings so much I haven’t tried anything else.“

“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.“

“Best seafood restaurant to eat at“

“This is my first time coming to this place, and so far, I love it. They have different meats choices, vegetable choice, broth when you paid, and sauces stations while you wait. They also have popcorn to have until your meal is ready. Yes, they do have drink but not many choices for diabetes that can't have these drinks because it has too many sugar in those drinks and I don't drink zero sugar coca cola, so yes I have to drink water, which is fine by me because I rather drink water then to spike my sugar level. Now for price it's by how much stuff you put in a bowl and it's being weigh and you find your own table and just wait for your food to be done.“

“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🙃“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious, authentic Chinese food at a great price! This is a must-stop for us every time we head to Lake Tahoe. The food is always delicious, the service is fast, and the prices are very reasonable. The portions are generous, and we love the huge bowls! They also offer unlimited pickled vegetables, which is a great bonus. My kids love their noodles, and we always get boba drinks for them, too. It’s a great spot for a quick, satisfying, and affordable meal. We always look forward to coming back!“

“This place is exactly what you want when you are looking for a local restaurant. Friendly staff, fast service, and excellent food. Everything was cooked to perfection and extremely flavorful. Rivals the best szechuan food I’ve had.“

“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!“

“Food was fast no waiting great place“

“I've been to this place a handful of times now and I will always be back. The best thing about this restaurant is definitely how affordable it is. My partner and I can enjoy three entrees and two sides for around 60$. We definitely get our money's worth and the food is delicious too.“

“Food is fire as hell! Really affordable without cutting corners on quality. I recommend the chow mean, cream cheese wontons, and the beef dumplings. Thanks guys for your consistency with food quality. I'll be back for sure. 🙂‍↕“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The preserved egg & pork congee heals your soul. The beef and cilantro noodle roll is amazing. The black pepper fish is crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. Chinese broccoli is delicious.

Highly recommended.“

“I love this place! The food is so fresh and reasonably priced. The service is friendly. Ambiance is just an average spot but you are there for the food and the friendly service is a plus. I have some special dietary things and they happily made necessary adjustments for me. Definitely a new regular spot for me.“

“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.“

“Probably the best Sesame chicken I've ever had“

“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.“

“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 🤗“

“If you're exploring Chinese food around Sacramento, this spot deserves a stop. I came in after a day in Folsom and ordered a mix of classics: orange chicken, chow mein, and potstickers. Everything arrived hot and flavorful, and the staff made the whole experience easy and relaxed. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and it’s the kind of place you remember when you’re deciding where to eat next week.“

“Coming from the bay this place hits! Jook / rice porridge is on point in terms of flavor.
Good value and amount of meat
Aunties on point
English speakers here
you come for the food
No thrills interior
Let the food do the talking
Service is above standard for a place like this
Seems like they know names of long time customers
Porridge breaks 10 minutes later. Maybe better in the am
Soup fully break 20 minutes. It's the best in Sacramento so I'm ok with that. You get crazy amount of meat inside

Aww customer share celebration dessert with workers here.“

“We just enjoyed probably the best Pho we have eaten. Service was quick and the food was excellent. I tried the honey ginger tea and it was so good hot. The peanut sauce served with the spring rolls was warm, and the brisket in the pho was thicker cut and very lean.“

“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 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!“

“I just moved to the area recently and I've tried multiple chinese restaurants to replace my favorite one from back home, this place by far is my favorite within the greater Natomas and downtown Sacramento area. I usually get pork fried rice which is excellent, but the wor wonton soup is absolutely amazing. It's almost the best I've ever had. The owners are super kind and attentive, I've had great experiences so far. I definitely recommend it to everyone who likes good chinese food.“

“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.“

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

“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 🌱🖤🍽️“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Extremely surprised how clean, comfortable, new this place is for a spot in Sacramento. Definitely a vibe here, Cantonese influenced, food is delicious and tasty as would expect from a Cantonese establishment. They play Cantonese and mandarin songs which also makes it feel like you’re in Hong Kong eating/ dining. This plus they got karaoke rooms, pretty awesome concept! ??“

“Horrible service but great chinese food that doesn't make you sick after. Bathroom and dining area can be cleaner. Kitchen is clean and the food is not sloppy. The food is the best around 100%. I've been going here for years and eat here maybe once a week. I love the orange chicken, the ginger beef w/rice, pork chops, chicken noodle soup(no bone) with extra ginger/lemon sauce... don't forget to ask for the ginger sauce. The menus had everything really from seafood or cream cheese wanton to fried fish or chow main. I'd give the restaurant a 5 stars for the food alone but the waiters are horrible so 4 stars. No English and very rude . But the food!!!!“
