The food was good. They had a long waiting time as well. We had fried rice, chicken and Peking ribs, pork chive dumplings soup and roast duck soup. All great tasting!

The dumplings are great. The sauces and condiments for the dumpling are great. The flavors in the noodle dishes such as the chow mein are spot on. I really like the food here and plan to come back many times to try all the offerings

Why are there not 10 stars? It’s a disservice to this place. They deserve 10 stars.

Good food, but extremely overpriced and poor service. Nearly $20 for garlic green beans is criminal

This spot has insanely good baos, dumplings and tarts. I recommend buying a pint of their house made chili crisp too. It's legendary. Staff are probably some of the nicest people in Sac too.

All the food was amazing! Our table had meat eaters and vegetarians, peanut and tree nut allergies, etc. The menu was super descriptive and allergen friendly. Our table had the pork XLB, spare ribs, different bao, honey walnut shrimp, Singapore noodles, chow mein, impossible meat siu mai, garlic bok choy, egg tarts, and more. Everything we had was delicious and came out quick and hot. Our server was super nice and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for the meal, we will be back!

This place had a lot of hype, and I used to go to the old location in Elk Grove.
But man… what happened?
Everything was right below mid. Nothing was bad, but where’s the soul? (Especially at these prices)
Here’s what we ordered:
Pan fried soup pork bun
- Gummy, no flavor, too hot.
Peking spare rib
- Chewy, bland, covered in tasteless red goop
Chicken fried rice
- Greasy, no salt at all, chicken had weird texture
Hong Kong noodle chicken
- Decent sauce, noodles were too crunchy, bland overall
Siu Mai
- Decent, tasted like frozen ones from the store.
Egg tart
- Decent, again it tasted like a Trader Joe frozen item.
This place looks like Chinese food and has the shape, but it has no soul and no flavor.
With all the other great Chinese places in Sacramento, don’t waste your time coming here.
Heard of Din Tai Fung?
This is Din Tai NOT Fun.

Had their impossible dumplings, green onion pancakes, and seasonal veggies. Super tastey. Especially the dumplings and pancakes. Lots of vegan friendly items.

Nice place, not typical small and stuffy Asian restaurant, service is quick and staffs are nice. Food portion is large and reasonably priced. No free parking on the spot but street parking is available.

The food was great but most meals don’t come with rice. They do have a whole page of fried rice to order but steamed rice is extra. Other than that small bit the food was great.
