50 Best Chinese Restaurants near West Sacramento

“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.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“I want to share my wonderful experience at Panda Express thanks to Teresa. I went through the drive-thru and unfortunately received a defective plate with my food. Teresa went above and beyond to immediately fix the situation with care and professionalism. She turned what could have been a frustrating experience into a positive one. Teresa is truly a jewel—an amazing employee who shows what great customer service looks like. Panda Express is lucky to have her!“

“Racquel and team were amazing. They helped me out to the car with my order and had everything dialed in on time. I really appreciate them. Panda express is always good with my catering orders and that that’s why you get my business. People like Raquel.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best seafood restaurant to eat at“

“Really cool place! A friend took me here to try malatang for the first time and it was amazing. My friends and I grabbed some bowls, got in line to get some meat, veggies, protein, and noodles. Then we got to choose our soup bases, order some drinks, and bam, just sat and waited till our bowls were cooked for us. If you don't like soups, you could always get your bowl as a stir fry. You also have the option of making a custom sauce for your dish.

I was a bit worried that my bowl would be really pricey since I added a lot of meat, but it only came out to around $17! I also got some tasty green milk tea boba for 50% because of a special sale they were having.

I think this is a great place to bring people who like to have control over their dishes and want to pay for their own meal. It was nice being able to pay for my own bowl and sit down with my friends while we ate. No one had to argue over the bill or do Venmo, we just had a good time paying for our own food with the portions we wanted.

Plus, everything was really clean and neat. There were lots of freshly cleaned tongs and bowls.

Looking forward to coming here again.“

“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.“

“We visited on Friday night around 7pm and we ordered right away on the counter. This was self-serve type of restaurant. They will buzz your buzzer and you pick up at the designated window. The service was quick - we got our food within 5 minutes of ordering.

There are self-served condiments table on the right side of the pick up window. You can load as much condiments as you like. They have pickled mustard greens, pickled long beans, bamboo shoots, roasted soy bean, roasted peanuts, scallions, cilantro, and hot sauces.

- A1 Guilin Rice Noodle: the noodle was very soft (but a bit too soft for me). The meat pieces were tender and good. The crackling pork pieces were super crispy and gave a nice texture to the dish.
- A10 Braised Pork Dry Tossed Noodle: the curly noodle was firmer type than A1 and had a bit of chew (which was similar to instant noodle) and I prefer this. The braised pork was flavorful and delicious!
- B11 Preserved Duck Egg with Tofu: the tofu was soft and was a good combo with the preserved duck egg. The egg itself didn’t have very strong taste so it was very pleasant. The spicy sauce was mild for me but the overall dish was good.
- C1 Old Gui Lin Boba Milk Tea (less sugar): good and milky. The less sugar version was the perfect sweetness for us. The boba pieces were chewy and good.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I got takeout and ordered by calling in. The order only took 15-20 minutes. The food was good. Chicken chow mein, salted egg yolk shrimp and pumpkin, steam chicken with chili sauce, and chicken wings. I didn't expect the steam chicken to be cold but the sauce with peanuts, cilantro, and chili oil was delicious.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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 .“

“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 🤗“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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🙃“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was fast no waiting great place“

“Love the foods superrrr yummy 😋“

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

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

“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!“

“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! ??“

“Regardless what some reviews said about their food vs the Welco down the street, you get a better tasting Chicken fry than Welco. Better Chow Mein than Welco. And guess what, a better value.Every time I go to Raley, Albertson and even Belair to get some Chinese food, especially hot and ready, it reminds me of my father taking me there. Now I shared the same passion. Of course every once in awhile for them hot and ready, otherwise I prefer freshly cook.Welco doesn't offer that same passion along with taste with the price hike. Smh, some reviewers need to visit Sizzling Wok with that same hunger and passion.“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Stopped by this place because another foodie told us we can’t miss their duck noodle soup so we HAD to try it. I would’ve never expected a full dine in restaurant at a boba shop but there it was. Sometimes when people tell you something tastes great, you set your expectation high and the actual food can be disappointing because it’s not as good as it’s hyped to be and how you’ve elevated it in your mind. Well, I have to say that it did not disappoint! We were seated promptly but for some reason, they helped another table who arrived after us for some reason. Not a big deal though since there weren’t many people and it was a leisurely weekend for us.

We ordered the shredded roast duck noodles soup. The broth was very flavorful but light with its clear broth. They used the vermicelli bean thread noodles and so my husband just thought the texture was off. I ordered the Roasted Duck Confit with Large noodles and mustard greens. The duck came out in a separate dish than the soup. The broth was light and tasted heavenly. I added some chili oil available at the table and the slight kick added another dimension to this delicious dish. What was utterly amazing about the dish was the duck. The skin was nice and crispy and even though I dunked the duck into the broth, I could tell it had been marinated because the flavor was infused deep into the meat, so much so that I could still taste the flavors after the dunking. I don’t think I’ve had duck this good before.

We also ordered the Hainanese chicken and beef chow fun. Both were good and standard fare that would satisfy any cravings, if you had an inkling for it. The pork ears were also pretty good too but it does have a brief numbing sensation to the tongue even though we ordered it as mild, I’m assuming from Sichuan peppercorns? But what a gem of a place that is almost down the street from us! We’ll be back for that roasted duck!! 🤤

The service was good but not excellent. We had to ask for our drinks but it never came out, even after the food started coming out. We asked and it came out shortly after that; the waitress was apologetic for forgetting. I deducted one star because no one came back to check to see if we needed refills or if we needed anything else after the food was served. But if you caught their attention, they’d get whatever you wanted promptly. Overall, the service was still pretty good all things considered. The waitress was was waiting the tables in the dining area and also helping people who came in just for drinks.“

“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!!!!“

“We attended on an unassuming Saturday evening in December. We noticed that no music plays, but that was pleasant to me. Not much of the restaurant was filled up, as it seems takeout and food courier services are frequent. However, we were greeted quickly and friendlily.

It took maybe 5 minutes to order and a proper few more to receive our food. However, we did receive it all at the same time, for which I grateful.

The pork chow mein was appreciatively lacking in sugar; however, one member of the party remarked that it was a tad salty for them. We enjoyed a very solid and well-portioned mandarin chicken (with baby corn).

Finally, we tried the shrimp-stuffed fried tofu, which I must recommend to anyone willing to try something. It is silk tofu (very soft) with a mince shrimp ball placed on top, all fried and coated in a light, savory sauce. There were 8 pieces in the portion, and I could have eaten them all myself. I will likely come back for this.“
