Wanted to find somewhere new for lunch and had recently seen how packed this place is on the weekends. They offer a wide range of lunch options Tuesday to Friday from 11am to 3pm. My favorite one to order is the sesame chicken; make it spicy, over fried rice. The breaded chicken has a nice crunch to it and is never soggy. The food is always hot, flavorful and fresh. The potstickers are not frozen but freshly made and they're my favorite in the Sacramento area. The customer service is always very friendly and welcoming. Their interior is a little small but they have seating for twos, fours and groups. If you're looking for somewhere new for lunch & dinner, then I highly recommend this place. They currently only offer brewed hot tea but I'm hoping they eventually offer brewed Iced Tea as well read more

Some of their food is really good, some not so great. One thing I used to order that was reliably good was Shrimp Chow Fun w/ egg, but with boiled thin egg noodles instead of wide noodles. Now when I call to order the same thing, there is nothing but confusion. They will only offer me pan-fried noodles or chow mein. I'm not sure why I used to order it the way I prefer without issue, but now causes problems. Anyway, finally went home and made it myself. Came out pretty close. Would have been nice to save the 45 minutes and kitchen mess. First world problems I guess. Atmosphere is minimalist, but generally clean. read more

CF Cheng - They used to make this for me at their restaurant, but for some reason my order now confuses the staff when I call. - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

CF Cheng has been a regular spot due to its convenient location and their delicious food. It's a small place however there are ample tables and kept clean. Located in a shopping plaza so there's plenty of parking. Shrimp in lobster sauce is a favorite dish just in general so I typically order it as a seafood rice plate lunch special ($12) or à la carte ($15) with a side of steamed rice ($2). Their shrimp in lobster sauce is delicious!!! Try it if you like shrimp. I've also tried Mongolian beef or Szechuan beef which are very tasty as well. They also have several dim sum dishes which are very good like har gow, siu mei, etc. Service is very good. The staff has always been very nice and courteous. Will definitely be back again soon. read more

Just had some broccoli and beef for lunch. $10.95 lunch special plus a dollar for chow mien instead of rice. They were busy but the service was quick and the small dining room was cool and comfortable. Glad to find a new spot in this area. read more

I called in an order for pick-up and the food was ready within 20 minutes. It was near closing time so it was not too crowded or loud. The food portions were generous, especially the eggplant garlic sauce. The food was tasty, not pictured is the house fried rice which included eggs, scallion, shrimp and beef, it was a little oily as expected but very tasty! read more

Friend delivered takeout and it was delicious! She indicated it didn't take long and was ready incredibly quickly. 5/5 beef chow fun. I've been looking for favorite for a while and this will def be my new go-to in the area. The noodles were thin compared to other thick and clumpy ones I've had recently. It was nice to have thinner noodles and balanced bites. Meat was tender. The onions and green onions were well balanced also and not overwhelming. 5/5 garlic green beans had huge garlic chunks. Add some chili oil it and it was perfect. This will be my new go-to for beef chow fun! read more

The reason for my two stars is for the time I ordered catering. Eating at this spot and ordering what you like is amazing. Food is good. Service is good not great. Really no issues. But when I ordered catering I told them I'd be picking up right before my party and I ordered chow mein, beef and broccoli and orange chicken. Chow mein was great. But the beef and broccoli and orange chicken didn't have the sauce mixed in. They told my parents (who picked up the order) that we have to mix it. Considering the amount we ordered, this is not easy and efficient. On top of that a lot of the chicken was hard. Had I known that this was the process for catering I had asked them to mix it or ordered somewhere else. read more

I have been craving Chinese food and we always come back to CF Cheng. We have been coming here for years. No one else makes the hand shredded chicken with jelly fish like they do! It's so good and tasty. We also got the deep fried cod with salty egg yolk. There is plenty of salty egg yolk but we wish it was more on the fish rather than on the bottom. The salt and pepper pork chop is typical like any other restaurant. read more

I called over the phone. I was able to ask the difference between the regular wonton. And the war wonton I know able to get my explanation pretty easily. The second one obviously comes with more comes with bok choy, which is really good and it comes with some meats and some shrimp I could go without the shrimp. I'm not a real big fan of the pork I don't know why however it could be beef. I'm just not sure. I really love the wontons. I could actually eat a whole thing of the wonton by itself. I was really impressed with the packaging so that way it wasn't sitting there in the juices I was able to pull it out and put it into my bowl. The wontons 5/5 The flu has taken over my house and this was the best thing to eat while sick read more

I've been coming to C.F. Cheng for a long time, and it's always one of my favorite spots in Natomas. The shrimp fried rice is my go-to and it's always fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the food has always been consistent. If you're looking for good Chinese food, I definitely recommend giving C.F. Cheng a try. I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

This is a decent Chinese restaurant! Ordered for pick up and it was ready in about 20 mins. The best things I ordered was the honey walnut shrimp and beef chow fun. Pricing is average for Chinese food too. read more

This is our regular place to go. The food here is excellent and the staff is always friendly.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Over a decade ago CF Cheng was the best authentic Chinese restaurant in town. I am not sure when the change of ownership took place but the kitchen has suffered greatly. The food is no longer perfectly seasoned in fact often it lacks flavor at all. The beef chow fun gravy style with greens is my go to dish. The last 3-4 times I have ordered it there is so little sauce the noodles are still white ! There are still some good things here. The pork and shrimp wonton soup is still the best wonton in Sacramento but in general the food is bland or under seasoned. If you want ok food CF Cheng can provide it. read more

Terrible service!!! I've been there eating quite frequently, but today they are closing soon, so I call in wanted to order ahead of time. But the lady who picked up the phone is so reluctant to take my order, and basically told me she is very busy and I need to know the menu before calling them. I guess their business is too good and don't care about any other business. read more

he food was fresh and really good, and the service was friendly and attentive. It does get pretty busy during lunchtime, but the staff still did a great job keeping everything moving and making sure we were taken care of. The service was solid even during the rush, and the quality of the food definitely makes it worth it. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Was really craving Chinese for lunch and this place hit the spot, got the lunch plate - mongolian beef with chow mein. I wish they can do half fried rice and half chow mein. But both were delicious. I ended up picking it up and taking it back with me to work, but when I went in the merchant was very friendly. She checked that I had utensils and a napkin. The place was busy inside but hello lunch rush. Otherwise it's a bit spacious. I will be eating here again. read more

I got beef brocolli, chicken wings , and sweet and sour pork . I get the economy probably is the cause of the adjustments to the amount of beef, but the sauce, really. I tried mixing it and it cannot even coat half of the brocolli. The chicken wings is now half the size but my issue is, it is close to being burnt and the oil used is old. Very disappointed. Used to like this place, no more!! read more

One of the top Chinese places in Natomas. It's a small restaurant with very basic ambience and doesn't look inviting but that shouldn't stop you from trying this place the service and food makes up for what masks in ambience. We ordered chicken fried rice, crispy chicken wings, chicken buns, kung pao chicken, sesame balls, and the sautéed pea sprouts. Everything was yummy, but the kung pao chicken was the best! I only wish that they wud add a little less oil. Don't miss out on good Chinese spot at Natomas! read more

In a nutshell; Pretty good solid chinese food The PF changs nearby seems to only be doing take out now so CF Cheng it is. Not quite sure if the owners know each other but the naming convention makes it seem so. Parking isn't a problem as it is in a good sized lot with other businesses. Not the biggest place but still has a decent number of tables. Food is filling and for sure worth the amount or price that accompanies any of the menu choices. Servers were accommodating. Overall isn't anything entirely unique but if you're looking for chinese food that's for sure to be chinese comfort food then this is a place to consider. read more

CF or PF? They sounded alike. I don't know anything about the Chinese food in Sacramento, but, I gave them a try on a recent business trip. They didn't disappoint. I ordered a seafood pan fried noodle and a hand sheared chicken with jellyfish by phone. The seafood pan fried noodles came with shrimp, squid and bok choy. It had plenty of sauce. The hand sheared chicken came with juicy chicken pieces atop a bed of jellyfish and garnished with green onions. Both dishes made for a good dinner. Service was good. The guy taking my order on the phone spoke both Chinese and English. They food was ready when I arrived. It was a good place. I think they were better than the other PF place for my taste buds. read more

I decided to try a different Chinese restaurant and received mixed reactions toward the quality of the food. I was disappointed that they do not serve fish, lobster, and crab during the weeknights. The hot and sour soup was just okay. It was more sour than spice. The fried chicken was extremely overcooked and very dry. I was disappointed that the clay pot rice was not crispy on the bottom. The sauce was not well seasoned. No complaints on the ma pao tofu and the salted fish fried rice. Despite the mixed quality of food, I would like to dine in again on the weekends to try their seafood dishes. read more

You'll find this small yet popular Chinese restaurant in the heart of north Natomas. Seating is limited and gets crowded during the lunch hour. Which may be why there were many orders for takeout. The lunch special plates offered a plate full of your favorite dishes. Our table enjoyed a variety of spicy pork, sweet and sour pork, shrimp with vegetables, wonton soup, and steamed and fried rice. All were tasty. For the lunch plates, pricing varied from 10.95 to 12.95. Seems to be the going rate these days. Service was quick as was the kitchen. read more

Was in the area so I decided to get take out. Tried a few dim sum and the sizzling cod clay pot. The xiao long bao did not have much soup in it. By the time I got home to eat it, it seemed like most of them had holes in the wrappers when it got transferred. The siu mei and har gau are also small for the price but tasted ok. The sizzling cod clay pot had decent flavor. It comes with a bed of cooked lettuce which I'm not a fan of. I would probably try other things and only order the xiao long bao to eat in the restaurant. Service was good though and the lady who helped me and answered the phone was nice. read more

My lady was craving chinese food and this was in the area so we decided to try it out. The service was decent. They checked on us a couple of times. The food itself was mediocre. It wasn't bad, but yet it wasn't the best. The honey walnut shrimp was not bad. The steam chicken was okay. We also got pan fried noodles which was pretty bland. It was not the best and could use some more seasoning. read more

One of the best Chinese food in North Sacramento! Although service was slow because there was a lot of take out orders, the food was worth it. My favorite was the perking pork - the flavor and tenderness of the meat was amazing! I always order the ying yang fried rice that's not on the menu and it hits the spot every-time. It's a small restaurant so seating is limited. The portion on the honey walnut shrimp is a bit skimp, but it's still delicious! read more

Consistently good Hong Kong style Chinese food! I haven't tried the Americanized Chinese hot food type dishes but I like their more traditional dishes from this spot. Top favorites here are the: Scallop Egg White Fried rice, Salt & Pepper Pork Chop, Dry Beef Chow Mein. read more

Been here a few times, excellent Chinese food, great service. I love how they ladle the soup into our bowls after they bring it to the table. Every time we eat here, other restaurant patrons always ask us "um excuse me, what you have there looks delicious, mind telling me what dish that is?!" and we always find it kind of funny. Our go-to dishes here are the peking pork chops, honey walnut shrimp, stir fried snow pea sprouts with garlic and the hot & sour soup with pork. Small restaurant space, but large portions. read more

I've been meaning to come back here again and finally had the chance while I was running errands. I called in an order and was given a thirty minute estimate. I ran my errands and stopped in to pick up dinner and head home. I love that they have a dim sum menu that is available all day. We ended up ordering sui mai, har gow, steamed pork buns, potstickers, steamed dumplings, general's chicken and wor wonton soup. A LOT of food. When I arrived they were really and I wasn't sure where to go to pay and pick up. They have two large tables with lazy susans as well as a bunch of two tops and four tops, but they are organized really close to the checkout desk. I followed the lead of the person in front of me and went between two tables to the counter, but it turns out I should have gone toward the right of the table instead. After a little confusion, I ended up paying after another couple and had a little more of a wait before my food was done. The staff was friendly and working hard to clear tables, bring out food and take care of to-go orders. As I was driving home I received a call and it turned out they forgot my har gow. No problem, I turned around and was back within about five minutes. They knew who I was when I arrived and ended up throwing in an order of sesame balls since I had to drive back. I got everything home and was most interested in the wor wonton soup. I like that they pack the broth and toppings separately so they don't get soggy and the portion is easily two meals on it's own. The dim sum is good, but not the best we've had. Considering the price and that it's available all day though, it's a good option. The generals chicken was tasty and I liked that it had a little kick to it. read more

If you are calling the number and it gets disconnected? Trust me. It works. It is busy or they are busy taking another order but keep trying. We thought our Chinese food life was over and I decided to try the number 1 last time and it rang.... And someone from CF picked up!!! CF Cheng is your neighborhood Chinese to Go spot. It feels like a tradition to order from here. What to get? Your walnut shrimp, salt and pepper pork is a must (eat that hot and put the leftover in the air fryer), get your seaweed and tofu soup too. Small dine in place,and it gets packed and you will see the to go line long, quick. read more

My initial draw to this place were their salt and pepper pork spareribs and the pan fried noodles per a local friend's recommendation. Since then, outside of their Family Dinner selections (A & B), I've also had their wonton noodle soup, wor wonton soup, hot and sour soup, general chicken, Mongolian beef, honey walnut shrimp, chicken wings, garlic eggplant, shu mai, sesame balls, mushu pork, and salted fish/chicken fried rice. Easy to call ahead for pickup, or dine-in although it's not a huge space. Service is always friendly and quick. CF Cheng will always be my go-to for Chinese in North Natomas. read more

Dim Sum... Let's Gao! It was our first time here... been wanting to try for sometime. We finally made it here for lunch one afternoon. Our server was nice and immediately sat us on a table. We ordered Dim Sum and we were aware that there would be some wait time. It's okay, we got time. We ordered the following: * Steamed BBQ Pork Buns - this was hubby's favorite * Siu Mei (pork) Dim Sum - yummy juicy pork and prawn filling. Tender, juicy and delicious! This is a dim-sum must have. * Steamed Pork Dumplings - came with 5 pieces of Xiao Long Baos. The filling is meaty and juicy. * Har Gow Dim Sum - love those bright pink chunks of fresh shrimp. The translucent wrapper is delicate and chewy. The dining room is small but food is good... at least the dim sum that we ordered were. Review #3148 read more

We have our usual items that we order here almost every other week. Our faves: Hand sheared chicken with jellyfish: it's like a cold chicken salad with jellyfish and the sauce that comes with it is flavorful. Shrimp with mixed veggies: an abundance of shrimp over a bed of mixed veggies tossed in a light garlic sauce. Honey garlic pork chops: tender thin slices of pork chops fried and then cooked in a honey garlic sauce. Braised tofu with black mushrooms: the combinations of bok choy, mushrooms and tofu. Delicious. Crab meat with fish maw soup: light soup and reminds me of wedding banquets. Green beans with minced pork. Beef chow fun (dry style) Service: To go orders have a very long wait time. The front staff are working as quickly as they can and they work hard. Minus one star because the order is never ready when they say by. I always end up waiting at least 10-30 mins longer. Even when I come after the time they say it's ready by. read more
