Omg, I went in for the chow mein and came out with a fish sandwich! This fish sandwich was amazing, I was expecting dry fish on stale bread. But what I got was a moist fish on a fresh Hawaiian style bun, it did not disappoint. They always have unique items but this is the first time we saw the fish sando! read more

Amy's Cafe - Amys fish sandwich - Chinese Near Me - Rio Linda, California

Just stopped here for a quick snack after attending a small local craft fair in the park. We got two egg rolls and a baked char siu bao to share. Price was reasonable and the food was tasty! We'd taken it with us to a brewery to munch on. If we'd eaten it there at the restaurant, I might have been tempted to order more food. I don't get up to Rio Linda very often, though. I will keep this place in mind. read more

This is the most disgusting food i have had. We went there and bought a couple of meals for our family to eat. All of spit it out and could not eat any of it. We ended up throwing it away. I would not recommend this place. Hopefully a better place will open around in the future. read more

Food is delicious. Ive damn near had every option. Service is fast asf. Always packed but fast. My new go to for wonton soup. Has options other places don't have. It's outta the way hella but worth it. With cost and taste. Ohhh and they have drinks!! Taro tea! 5 star read more

I could give every single worker a big fat wet kiss. This is the best Chinese food I've had in California. My friend came back to visit Florida, and he immediately wanted some Amy's. They did not disappoint him!! He talked about how delicious the honey sesame chicken was. I tried it for the first time today, and obviously, it was amazing. Things you HAVE to try: - black pepper chicken - sesame chicken - kung pao chicken - lemon chicken - orange chicken - peking spare ribs - chow mein - broccoli beef - everything read more

Ordered Hot and Sour soup and it's traditionally a clear like broth with tofu, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and carrot or cabbage. This is egg flower soup with a hint of that hot and sour taste. No thanks. read more

Amy's Cafe - "Hot and sour soup" - Chinese Near Me - Rio Linda, California

Gross! Food taste burnt , the orange chicken was like slop.. very nasty the rice tasted burnt and the teriyaki chicken was tougher then leather! Only thing I could eat was the egg rolls !! And they were 2.99 EACH and small !!! I got a plate that I could not eat and 2 egg rolls that damn near cost the same as the whole plate !!! Lady was rude I ask for small portions and she said she did not sell small portions... Seriously... ok.... But very disappointed and will not ever go back! Now the donut shop next door is FIRE!!! So good!! Fresh all the time and so friendly and welcoming.. but this place had neglected all of the above quality presentation and taste was out the door tased like flour, oil, and the bottom of a burnt pan!! Yuck!!! read more

We've been to Amy's before & they went down hill from before. They used to give decent portions & that's without the price increases. Now with the increases the portion gotten smaller. The worst of it all the Hot & Sour soup. Which lack all components! There's no mushrooms, no meat, no bamboo & no tofu. It tastes so sweet that we ended up throwing it away. It looks like an egg drop soup that you can get the instant ones in a packet & make it yourself at home. Very disappointing. read more

Amy's Cafe - Good prices. Good food. Clean. Fast. Will be back.. a lot! - Chinese Near Me - Rio Linda, California

Was just there about hour and half order 63 dollars worth of food only for the noodles be hard and unflavorful, broccoli is very mushy and nasty wanted orange chicken looked like soup, the teriyaki semi decent overall 1.0 will never spend money there again will never recommend! Waste of a Chinese restaurant read more

Amy's is your typical hole in the wall with fire Chinese food. Nothing fancy but expect good food, good prices, and good service! In the 10+ years we have been coming here, never had an issue. Their menu is pretty consistent but they introduce new dishes and foods every couple of months which is great. I always get their peking spare ribs and cream cheese wontons. read more

Would not go back here! The vegan options here are minimal to none and it disappoints me. I tried the egg flower soup, which they said was vegan friendly, but then I found out there was egg white and chicken broth in the soup. I should've gotten the vegetable chow mein. Won't be coming back! read more

Now I've had a bad experience in the past with Amy's cafe but let me tell you that they have got on top of their stuff!! The teriyaki chicken is great and the fried rice with the chili and garlic oil is amazing in my opinion !! Now I will say it's not a five star because the black pepper chicken I think it's called was not top tier but it was good overall I would definitely recommend this plate ! Service is always great too read more

Amy's Cafe - Chili And garlic wit oil - Chinese Near Me - Rio Linda, California

The thing to get here is the fried chicken. Don't get anything else. Everything else taste okay. But the fried chicken.... fried to perfection. Not too dry. Goes perfect with steamy white rice. It is pretty expensive but I get it inflation is high now. Mom and pop shop trying to survive in tough times. I would return but only to get the chicken. read more

Love this place. Grew up coming here with all my family. Love the people who work there. Food is always delicious and we've never had an issue with it. I would say it's traditional Chinese food. read more

Not super crazy about their regular food, but a lot of people love it. I'm obsessed with their spicy garlic wings. Soooo good! Definitely give them a try. read more

Very good food if you go when they have fresh food out otherwise wait for it!! The price is ok could be better for this location and area!! read more

Pros: cheap, quick Cons: everything else. This was almost unrecognizable "Chinese" food. We identified the fried rice and chow mein but they had almost no flavor. The pork tasted off, like it was spoiled. (We got BBQ pork which came in a sauce--not supposed to--and sweet and sour pork that managed to look grey and slimy.) I was supposed to get teriyaki chicken which looked like a stew and was chewy. The orange chicken was spicy and gummy. The broccoli beef was mostly broccoli but the beef was okay. The egg rolls were weird--dipped in a thick batter and fried. It seemed as if all of the food had been sitting for a long time. Sadly, it wasn't cheap because we ended up not eating it and throwing it away, which I hate to do. We were worried about eating it as it all tasted off, especially the pork. Bottom line: This was really bad and questionable food. Not worth it. read more

When I get a chance to stop by in Rio Linda I come here. Reasonable pricing and Chinese food by 1,2 or 3 item combo style. They have pork buns on Fridays. Noodle soup which I have never tried. Amy is super cool and great to chat with. Go here and support a great business and say hi to Amy. Good food at good prices. read more

Love it! I've done party trays here for Christmas, New Years and Bday parties. Prices are reasonable and comes with large portions. Would come here again and again. read more

This place disappointed me twice now was not good food was soggy not fresh in the morning so it should have been fresh just not good I found something weird in my food crunchy shouldn't have been it's not I don't know what it was but don't go here read more

All meat products are soggy and lack flavor. I've went there a few times and still hasn't changed. I'd rather eat Panda Express.

This could have easily have been a 5 star review, lets start with what is right. Portions are great no skimping here. For the most part they are very friendly and fast. The place is clean as is the kitchen. Amy has worked hard to make this work. Her dad used to cook, he was a better cook than the ones that they have had of late. So what is not good. The cook is lazy. The object of chop-sticks is to have the food bite sized to fit into your mouth. He dose not understand this, Big Chunks of Chicken, BBQ Pork that are sometime 3 bites and I have a big bite. The Broccoli Beef Broccoli Is huge. The beef in it is tuff and requires cutting as it size in wrong for the dish. Tastes great. The fried Shrimp is often over cooked on the outside and raw doughy inside. It is on to thick to cook as fast as they do it. Lower temp and longer cook would fix it. or less batter. A few minutes of prep would fix this and make it a 5 star. Picky is picky... I am a cook and I am picky every time I cook read more

Zero star if possible. Plastic was found infused with the honey sesame chicken tempera batter. My kid ate it and spat it out saying it hurt his mouth. read more

This place is delicious, always! It's my go to food before I watch a new movie. The pork buns are fantastic also read more

I always stop at Amy's when I'm in town , today was a big disappointment, first of all I was by myself, and always enjoyed the deep fried prawns, 13.00 for sixteen prawns, I asked for just a half order and was told 11.00 for it? That did not make sense, so I opted for the full order, when I asked if napkins were in the bag , I was told yes, when i got home , about 18 miles away, opened the box , and the prawns were way overcooked, and the fry oil they use had not been changed in days! I ate three of them , and threw the rest out (gross). If had lived close by I would have brought them back, never going back there again ! read more

Amys has been in Rio Linda for over a decade now and the quality and consistency has gone down over the years :( i have to admit, i miss the burgers & fries! Now anytime i come in the food looks like its been sitting for a while and its rarely ever fresh. I keep coming back now for the chicken wings, if it wasnt for that i dont think i would still come read more

You get a lot for the price. This food is not that good. Let me rephrase that it is pretty bad. There is another Chinese restaurant by Food 4 Less that I recommend. It costs more money but the ladies in there are nice and the food is pretty good. read more

I went in ordered 3 plates paid $27 asked for 5 hot sauces was told they could only give . When I asked to get a refund because I did not want to not enjoy mu food do to a teaspoon of hot sauce I was given a attitude. The server then as she was throwing 2 additional hot Spain's mumble something u see her breathe. The customer service is getting bad. The owner is no longer there. I have no proBlem putting more hot sauce on my plate if they had the container on the table. If it such a problem to give hot sauce maybe it's not worth binging my business there read more

Their food is really really greasy and does not taste good. Waste of money. I would not recommend

Stopped in 30 minutes before they close. You would think for a steam table establishment this would be a bad decision. It wasn't! The sesame chicken was D LISH! The ladies who run the cafe were super nice and pointed out what was freshest. I just moved to Rio Linda and I'm super happy to find a good place for Chinese food! Next up will be wor won ton soup! read more

Small place, but they are nice and let you try samples. They are open on Sundays too. The portions for the combos are pretty big and it's affordable. read more

Don't know why all the hate I love this place. Been going here for years and even though I'm in south sac now I still try to come out a few times a month, when I'm craving chinese. read more

I don't know if Amy's has been sold to someone else but over the past year, they have not been good at all! I had stopped going there because my granddaughter got sick from their food. I waited 6 months before going back and again. The noodles were old and hard, the fried wontons were fried in old grease with very little filing, the orange chicken was mostly fried dough and a speck of chicken, the fried rice was old and tasteless. I have resolved not to go there ever again. I think others feel the same way because usually there is a line, but now you hardly see anyone in there anymore. I'm over it! read more

I ordered to go from this place today, and I had the worst food experience in a long time. The shrimp was in a tasteless batter, that was sweet, and yechy. The shrimp was not edible, it was rubbery, and again tasteless. The white rice was dry, and went down my throat w/ difficulty. It was awful. Surprisingly, the lemon chicken was well made, but could have had more lemon sauce, it was rather sparse. W/ all the Asian places around, I would choose another, definitely! read more

Decided to try this place as our usual CF Chengs, on Arena Blvd, was closed. Terrible mistake. I ordered Wonton Soup, Chicken Fried Rice and Broccoli Beef. My husband threw away the soup. The broth had a very meaty pork taste and the wontons tasted of cheap meat with no flavor. The Broccoli Beef had a whitish gravy and no flavor. The chicken fried rice was ok. Never returning here. read more

Besides then rushing you to get your order, I really like this place. Our favorite thing is the spicy chicken wings!!! YUMMY

Way better than Panda Express guarantee! Been coming to this location since 2005! Fire

The food is great, combo plates are very good. One of the few places I've found peking ribs, excellent. The black pepper chicken with jalapenos is pretty darn good too. All take out, very friendly folks. read more
