    Kind service. Unique items plus favorites. Adding menu as of 2026. Tried them because pictures looked fresh.

    Deep fried cod with salty egg yolk
    Christine N.

    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.

    Beef chow fun
    Melanie L.

    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!

    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

    Scrambled eggs with shrimp gravy style $8.95
    Douglas Y.

    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.

    Chicken fried rice
    Anuja S.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Fried chicken
    Ann H.

    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.

    Hot and sour soup
    Annie C.

    Great authentic food! I look forward to top notch Chinese cuisine when I travel to Ca. I found this gem on yelp and glad I came. I will add this to my travel each time I'm in Sacramento. Service is slow so be prepared to be patient. The phone rings off the hook from phone orders if that tells you something.

    Orange chicken.. delicious
    Lisa M.

    We had a great experience at CF Chang! We ordered the Orange Chicken, Walnut Shrimp, House Chow Mein, and Pork Green Beans. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a solid spot for delicious Chinese food and a relaxing meal!

    Is this place still heavily dependent on to-go orders? and if so, is the wait time still an hour to an hour and a half to get your food whether its to-go or dine-in?

    They do a lot of togo business because they only have a handful of tables. You are better off ordering togo if you don't want to wait.

    Is this place open for dine in?

    Yes

    Do they have curbside pickup? if so, i'd order VERY frequently.

    I order on the phone then walk inside to pick it up on the counter. They're masked up and have hand sanitizers on the table.

The woman at the front who took my order was very nice. I've dined in before and the tables are fully set up with all the necessary condiments, but today I just needed to get home and hope the food could do its thing. I ordered the pho gai, which is lighter and cleaner than the typical Vietnamese beef pho. The broth has a slightly fermented, deeply umami flavor, probably from fish sauce, along with lemongrass, chicken broth, chicken breast, and ginger. Perfect when you're stuck with a cold. It was packaged really well with chili oil, jalapeños, celery, lime, and the noodles on the side. There isn't a ton of chicken if you're looking for high protein, but I didn't care. It was so good and soothing. Nothing like sweating over a bowl of herbal soup while sick. I also ordered the Lao sausage, which has a great blend of aromatics, especially lemongrass. It comes with a sauce I'm not totally familiar with, but it's bright and limey, likely fish-sauce based, with something like charred pepper or tomato that almost reminds me of a Mexican salsa. So good. This place is awesome. I've only ever gotten soups here, but I definitely need to branch out and try more of the menu. Prices are very fair too. The soup alone was just under 1.5 liters so great bang for your buck.

I really like the concept of selecting your own dry ramen / noodles packets , then choosing proteins, toppings to be added to our own bowl and cooking it ourselves over a timed induction burner. I appreciate the vast selection of noodles choices but the price tag is a bit steep for what it is ( instant noodles) . We also had some dumplings such as Hargow , it was not good , looks and tasted like the ones i buy from the freezer at an Asian grocery store. The edges were dry and hard it seems like it's put in the microwave. I did asked the young lady if the hargow were microwave , she stated it was steamed . She did offer to bring us something else to replace. We opted for the korean mondu , it's at least soft and comes out warm . I honestly wouldn't come back when I am in the area again. I can't see myself spending $ for low quality dumplings.

One review even says, "It's so fun! Cute date idea to see what everyone would put on their noodles." The food tasted fresh and was clearly made to order. The girls enjoyed experimenting with different combinations, and everything that arrived was hot and flavorful. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially since it was our first time doing the DIY process. The only downsides: when the place gets busy the wait can stretch to about 20 to 30 minutes because of the limited cooking stations. Also indoor seating is quite limited so arriving during peak hours may mean a short wait for a table. Despite these nitpicks, the overall experience was a win, the DIY concept makes it perfect for teens, friends or anyone who loves fresh noodles and dumplings. We'll definitely be back for round two soon and try some of their boba and cloud drinks!

I will tell you, I was NOT DISAPPOINTED. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the staff, and given a menu to look at the food options available. While waiting for the person in front of me to finish placing their order, I looked around and noted the atmosphere was nice, the floors and tables were clean, and the staff matched in their uniform shirts. (Cleanliness is a BIG plus for me.) Once I got to place my order the woman at the register made it a note to advise that while the menu didn't list it all, they did offer traditional dishes other Chinese restaurants offer. I ordered, Chicken Chow Mein, BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Mongolian Beef and BBQ Pork with their Chicken Egg Rolls to go. Once I got home and served it to my family for dinner, when I tell you all of us were pleased, I mean it! This place truly is a hidden gem. The flavors of the chow mein was impeccable. The peppers and onion taste of the Mongolian beef even better. The rice, fresh, not hard or stale, but perfectly cooked with even amounts of everything. The chicken egg roll. was a delight! I love egg rolls and it's hard to find a good one. Theirs is GOOD. So, I say all this to say, that if you're looking for a good restaurant when you're craving Chinese food, give this place a try.
