    4. General Chicken Dinner Combo & 8. Broccoli Beef Dinner Combo
    Stephanie Y.

    3.5 stars rounded up to 4. Food was meh. Amongst my least favorite Chinese food. Although, the wonton in the wonton soup had pretty good flavor and I would consider coming back just for that. Most of the food lacked flavor overall. Service was great! Friendly and quick. They also gave my kids little pop it keychains, which really made their day. My experience would've been fine if I didn't use the bathroom. The door to the restrooms opens to a hallway that has a men's & women's restroom, a door that leads outside and opens to the kitchen. When I went to the bathroom, the door leading outside was open with someone smoking right next to it. The smoke smell filled the hallway and suffocated me in the bathroom, so I'm sure it went into the kitchen. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants their food contaminated by cigarette smoke. So, I would just ask that workers stand further away from the doorway when smoking (I'm pretty sure it's law that you're not supposed to smoke within 20 ft of a doorway anyways).

    Went with friends and had a really lovely, reasonably priced, and politely served Chinese dinner. I will return.

    Food: 3/5 - generous portions, but lacked flavor amd texture. Was kind of mushy by the time we got home and the chicken was stuck all together for take out. Service: 4/5 - picked up carry out. Was quick and easy. Ambiance: 4/5 - nice spot. Came Saturday at 5p. Several tables had patrons, felt clean and quaint. No issues!

    Love that this restaurant has been opened for 14 years. It's a hidden gem in the fair oaks blvd area near the loehmans Plaza. . I had their dinner combo which comes with chow mein and fried rice and entree kung pao chicken for under 15 bucks and even comes with soup too. . I had their mushu pork which was amazing and I haven't had that for in so long. It was the perfect bite that I didn't know I was craving. . Loved their hong kong style chow mein which is pretty like a bird nest and mixed in with all combo meats on top. . Even had their sizzling beef platter but it wasn't sizzling which I was a bit dissapointed. It had great flavor tho. . Their sizzling rice soup is great, if you are looking for a good soup with some sizzle this is a must order. . They have great pot stickers which is one of their best sellers. Filled with pork and veggies and pan fry. Loved to dip it in their Potsticker sauce and hot muster too. . Overall I love coming here for chinese food. Can't wait to come with friends for chinese new year. They also have another location in elk grove too. Hope this review helps. Thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day.

    L4. Mongolian Beef Lunch Special
    john h.

    I finally found a traditional Chinese restaurant which reminds me of the former Kim Hei restaurant that used to be on La Riviera drive. I have been driving by this place for as long as it has been open. I ordered the Mongolian Beef lunch special with chow mein. First came a bowl of soup then the main dish. The noodles were good and the Mongolian beef was spot on. The price is reasonable. The restaurant was very clean with plenty of seating, The service was excellent. I shall return.

    My wife had a craving for crispy noodles. We were already in downtown Sacramento when we Yelp'd locations. Chef Bo popped up. We visited the location and were immediately seated. The staff were super friendly and took our order right away. I can't believe how quickly they served us. The food was prepared well. They are very efficient. The place was clean, spacious, and food was delicious. The portion size was good and we had leftovers. We truly appreciate that they even packed our leftovers for us. We don't live in the area but would pop in again when we get an opportunity. Thank you so much!

    S1. Wonton Soup
    Jeremy G.

    One of the best band for your buck location. Lunch combo and dinner combos go along. Legit you could feed three to four ppl with the dinner combos for two. Service is fast and friendly. The food is made to order, which means it'll come out hot!!! If you don't want to drive to south sac or anywhere else for Chinese food, then this is the place for you. Stop in if you haven't!

    L11. Szechuan Pork Lunch Special
    David B.

    When you go to a Chinese restaurant, you are hoping to find one of two things, value and quality. And when you find both, you keep going back. This fine establishment boasts five star service, perhaps the best fried rice in Sacramento, and all at a very reasonable price. Their lunch menu is perfect and comes with some of the best hot and sour soup I've ever had. When it walk in, you are transported to the mom and pop Chinese joint that you were hoping for. From the traditional wallpaper to the zodiac placemat, this place will transport you and fill your stomach without draining your wallet. It's all heart and great food.

It wasn't too long after we put our name on the list, that we were called in to be seated. This has a nice welcoming touch of elegance, from entrance designs, lighting and seating arrangements. It is roomy with a nice touch of elegance. The People who placed our order made a small error on their system so, we had to let them know so that they can correct the mistake. I have to say, their food is quite tasty and we really enjoyed their lovely venue. Since we live out of the area, this will be our go to place for dimsum every time we're in the Sacramento area. It really is quite an experience. I highly recommend you come try it for yourselves. Thank you fellow Yelpers for helping us find this place.

    After not eating all day, by 6:00 we were in the mood for some dumplings. After searching for…read more"Dumplings near me" we picked Yue Huang. The AI said it was top rated, and we had never been. By 7pm the dining room was busy, many of the parties Asian We ordered a pot of tea, crispy pork, potstickers, roast duck, honey bbq pork and the house noodle dish Yue Huang Chow Fun which had shrimp and chicken. THE PROS: Nice sit down restaurant decor. Large tables and cushy upholstered chairs. Not a strip mall cubicle. They have actually been awarded Michelin Honors three times. Portions were good sized, and flavors were nice. THE CONS: Unfortunately, we were underwhelmed by everything. All of the dishes arrived just warm. Staff never checked on us - not once - until we asked for some to-go boxes. They have two large tvs in the dining room, showing a loop of the restaurant I'm currently sitting in. The music in the dining area must have been on "Slow Girl Ballad" station on Spotify's free tier- as we honestly listed to a 10 min Samsung commercial in between songs - and not at a low volume. BOTTOM LINE: Maybe we were the exception- as there were clearly enough patrons to show it is a popular - but nothing about our experience made us want to come again. I guess we didn't see what the Michelin people saw. PRICE: $80

    A great spot for a solid Chinese meal--and surprisingly, an amazing banana cream pie!…read more The service was friendly overall, although our table wasn't checked on very often since it was so busy. That said, the food more than made up for it. Our favorite dish by far was the Spicy Calamari with Basil. It's something I'd absolutely come back for--the calamari was tender with a great texture, and the sweet, savory flavors paired perfectly with everything else we ordered. The Garlic Chili Green Beans were another standout. They had great flavor and still retained a nice crunch instead of being overly soft, giving them the perfect stir-fried texture. The Vegetable Chow Fun (with beef added) was decent but a little dry for my taste, so it's probably not something I'd order again. By the end of the meal we were completely stuffed, but we couldn't resist trying the banana cream pie. It looked huge when it arrived, and we honestly didn't think we'd finish it--but it was so delicious that we ended up eating the whole thing. Definitely don't skip dessert! I also appreciated that when I asked for hot sauce, they brought out several different options to try, including what seemed like a garlic chili sauce, chili crisp, hot mustard, and sweet and sour sauce. It was a fun touch that let us customize each bite. The restaurant also has a lot of history and character. We walked in casually without realizing it was a more upscale sit-down restaurant, but it ended up being one of the highlights of our day. If you go, the Spicy Calamari with Basil and the banana cream pie are absolute must-orders!

My goal is to come here during dine downtown week in January to try that menu since I hear it's worth it. For parking, it's either street parking or you can do valet parking in the garage right next door. There is no self parking in the garage. Street parking is self parking. The restaurant itself is like a long, large hallway. When you walk in, your greeted by the host desk. Then you walk towards the back and pass a bunch of booths, tables and the bar area to the right. It's built like a Craftsman style layout. When I was here recently, it was for a friend's birthday and there was a group of 10+ of us. They only do family style food so our group was split into 2 tables and each table ordered their own entrees and meals to eat family style. I was at a table of perks I had just met that night, but we had no issues sharing plates. This may not be for everyone, do you can still order your own entrees, but there won't be much variety if you don't have a lot of people. The food was good. We ordered wallet shrimp, Buddha's delight, the curry noodles/chow mein, garlic green beans and chicken chow mein. All three good was good. I would say it's above average and comparable to Din Tai Fung, but a bit cheaper. I liked the walnut shrimp, garlic green beans and buddhas delight. Service was decent. It could've been better, but could've been worse. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. I'll be back when dine downtown rolls around.

I'll have to keep an eye out for their next review, because whatever they had looked delish! I waited in the car for a bit and then when the order still needed a few more minutes I popped into the dollar store next door to kill a bit more time. Before I knew it my order was ready to go. They packed everything really nicely and we served it up as soon as we got home. Their rice noodle rolls are so flavorful and I love the sweet, salty and savory sauce that comes with it. The noodles are really filling, and the dishes we got would be enough food for 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are. We ate the rice rolls right away and then had leftover green beans and beef and mushrooms for lunch today. The green beans were fresh and had a great garlic flavor, without it being too much. The Beef and Mushrooms was great, the beef was tender and flavorful and the mushrooms soaked up all the sauce. There were also green beans in this dish, which was a perfect addition. I really need to dine in soon for the full experience, but take-out has always been a win for me.

For starters, parking is very limited, as it is a strip mall. There is some street parking. By the time we ordered, it was getting increasingly busy. We had only 4 people in our party, so they didn't initially provide us with the menu for larger family set meals, so we had to ask for it. We went for set A which serves 4-6 people. This set included the following: Soup of the day: Simple vegetable soup with some pork/beef in it. Peking spare ribs: Deep fried spare ribs with a sweet sort of sauce. This was a bit saucier than my liking. Not my favorite dish. Empress chicken (half): This was done very well, cooked perfectly. Came with ginger scallion oil. Pan fried sole: Classic, freshly deep fried, with a soy sauce based sauce. Mixed mushroom beef: Beef was tender, dish was seasoned well. Had a good balance of protein and vegetables. Seasonal vegetables and garlic: Simple, but delicious and a generous amount of vegetables. We also ordered mushroom with salted egg yolk from the Chef's Specials menu and it was delicious! This dish was very generous in size. There were pieces of fried beech (or seafood) mushroom in salted egg yolk batter. Seemed like there was at least two grocery store containers worth of mushrooms, if you've ever seen them in the Asian grocery store. This was almost like a snack, and went so well with white rice itself. They offered a complimentary dessert but it was very plain. It was straight up herbal/grass jelly with a sweet syrup. Service was standard for an Asian restaurant. The restaurant is pretty big compared to what you might see on the outside. The restaurant was acceptably clean. We sat by the window, and although it was covered, the sun was basically still shining on us, so it was really warm sitting there. Overall, I would highly recommend if you're looking for authentic Chinese food.
