I was giving it the benefit of doubt that it wasn't going to be good. But it's was good. I like the eggplant pork, big chunk of eggplant, not no small pieces and they ask if you want the Chinese bbq pork instead, it was something different. Something different good. The twice-cooked pork has a good flavor to it but next time maybe ask for more cabbage and throw in some whole pepper to give it more flavor. The wonton soup was ok kind of bland and the meat has a little sour taste to it that I didn't think it taste good. Mongolian beef was alright. We waited about 30mins. Take out. They are open to dine in. read more

Hengs Cafe 1270 Stabler Ln Yuba City / In Bel Air shopping center . IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH BE PREPARED before looking at pics ! Well Everyone decided to try a place I tried 20 yrs ago when I first moved here... (mind you I always order it to go and thought they were to high priced , but the food was good) We walked in no one in the place . Then the cook walked out with a dirty apron on and said someone will be right with you . The place smelt very stale and the seats were torn and worn out . But hey always give a place the benefit of the doubt . The waitress walks up no smile , no greeting , no nothing. She hands us the menus and asked what do you want to drink ? I order ice tea and mom a water . I Decided to use the restroom . As I was walking down the hallway you could see the kitchen area and it was a mess, things just setting out everywhere . I just had this gut feeling we shouldn't eat here . Then I enter the restroom from " HELL" ! If you eat here STOP! This place is a total food poisoning trap ! Imagine the kitchen if the bathroom looks like this ! I didn't even use the restroom . I took pictures and walked out . The last health department check was a year ago , it's posted in hallway ... really ? Looks like this bathroom hasn't been cleaned in years ! Obviously the health department isn't doing their job this place needs to be shut down ! I came out of restroom more customers walked in , I said go check out restroom before you eat here . I paid 3.99 for the glass of tea , the waitress put it in a to go cup and told my mom lets go . I walked out dumped the tea in the trash and said WTF !!! It truly makes me sad that people don't take pride in what they do. They should be ashamed charging 17.99 - 25.99 a plate of filthy crap to our community. read more

The food was extremely disappointed . Everything was overly battered, and the batter soaked up so much oil that the entire meal was soggy and greasy. The flavors were plain, and nothing tasted fresh. The rice was extremely salty and dry. Overall, the food was soggy, greasy, and honestly pretty unpleasant the fried chicken has that same soggy batter . So sad I dropped over $100. read more

Been going here on and off for years, mostly off now, food quality,quantity down, prices up. All my orders were take out. I used to be a fan of beef chow fun, they stopped using fun and went to rehydrated wide rice noodles. Meat and seafood portions have been reduced in dishes. One time I ordered Chinese broccoli and beef, they used old tough Gai lon/Chinese broccoli it was awful and cost extra, they should not have served it. Another memorable dish I ordered was "cashew chicken" with no cashews at all in it. Will not be going back...... I suspect they will go out of business, I will try it again in future if that happens. read more

We won't be ordering from here again. We spent nearly $100 - Pork fried rice, Sweet & Sour pork, Chicken chicken mein, Honey walnut shrimp and fried won tons. We opened the containers and there was no meat in the chicken chow mein OR the pork fried rice. That's allot of money to spend and to get ripped off on. We will not be back. read more

Went there for my birthday, my family loved the tomato beef chow mein, garlic eggplant with pork, pot stickers, sweet and sour fish and the egg flower soup . We were so full that we had leftovers for dinner. Will definitely be back. read more

I have to say this is some of the worst chinese food I have ever eaten. Panda does a better job and Panda is not a place I would recommend. I ordered the combination plate, there was an option with orange chicken, I asked if I could swap orange for lemon, answer: sure but there is an upcharge. I said ok but in the back of my mind why the up charge, it's basically the same thing. We'll, it was tasteless, the chow mein was only noodles with a small piece of cabbage , and soy sauce and the fried rice was nothing more than rice with soy sauce. If you have to cut out all the main ingredients you should just shut your doors. read more

My husband and I are home sick with the flu and cooking is pretty much not gunna happen right now. We ordered Wor Wonton soup & shrimp chow mein from this restaurant. Both were delicious and tasted fresh. We recently moved to town so we are very pleased our first Chinese Food experience was very good. We will definitely be ordering from them again. Also nice that they're on 0.6 miles away. read more

This is my new place. We almost ordered the same thing over and over because it is that good. Service is impeccable even when we get it delivered it's always hot. read more

Well the lunch specials came and were well prepared. Beef and broccoli and Kung Pao chicken. Came with rice noodles and a spring roll. Will try another dish next time read more

Heng's Cafe - Wall decor - Chinese Near Me - Yuba City, California

Customer service was nice. Was promptly served and seated, and food tasted good but was a little bland on the chow main and rice. I ordered the general chicken tasted like most Chinese restaurants, nothing special. But I would go back because the service was nice. read more

Save your money this is no better than food court in the mall They're definitely not as good as they were when I was a teenager food all tastes the same & looks reheated you could order five or six things and it all has the same Flavor. People are not friendly and can barely speak English. Every time I go in there there's maybe one person sitting at the table. Second looks raw and gristle no flavor. Cost an armor of leg go to Chinese garden that is the best in town or anywhere I've ever been as a matter of fact. read more

Heng's Cafe - a close up of a plate of food - Chinese Near Me - Yuba City, California

This WAS my favorite restaurant for Chinese food. Today I ordered hot and sour soup, beef chow mein and beef with mixed vegetables to go. Upon getting home with the food there was NO beef in the veg dish, just extremely mushy, over cooked vegetables floating in an unappealing clear 'sauce' and absolutely no seasonings whatsoever. The beef was almost non existent in the chow mein and the soup tasted like cinnamon, not a bit of spice at all. I will not be going back ever. I called the restaurant and they wouldn't refund for the one dish, telling me they have a note when we go back so they can give me a free redo. No thank you. The kitchen needs cooking lessons and management needs to learn what good customer service entails. read more

The guy working there is a complete racist! I ordered from DoorDash and they wouldnt let my doordasher bring me my food because she didn't speak English. She notified me and I called to let them know it was ok for her to give me my food and he said he couldn't because she didn't speak English and it was a safety hazard? I asked him why that mattered? I want my food. Then he hung up on me and canceled my order. I then went there and he could not give me a reason why and he kept saying how everyone that goes in there to pick up doordashes doesn't speak English. Who fking cares? What does that matter? it makes no sense. Then he lied and said she had it and was delivering it in which I called his bullshit. The dasher seemed real hurt and upset. Then he accused me of being a fucking liberal which is the absolute worst thing you can call me because I'm the exact opposite. But what he displayed was legit racism. I just can't get over it. I get it, sometimes it gets irritating when you don't understand another language, but this wasnt that. This was foul And sad. read more

Simply put I would not recommend this place. I ordered my food and was told 20 min. I arrived at 30 min and it still wasn't ready; which is fine I understand stuff happens. The hostess, who was on her phone when I walked in, asked my name and what my order was. She then walked back to a booth and sat down. After another 10 min someone else came out and asked me what my order was, I reconfirmed it with her and let her know I also told the hostess. Aside from that lack of communication, there was no one in the restaurant. The phone was ringing and the hostess didn't care to pick it up. Another family walked in to sit down, and in the almost hour it took me to get my food, they had only received water. When my food was given to me, the price was higher than what is listed on line. From the looks of it, and my food, there was an evident lack of care and customer service here. Hoping it was just a one time situation. Big bummer overall read more

We had lunch awesome Kung Poe Chicken, general chicken; could use clean up of furniture and floors

Super rude on the phone. I'm not eating at this place now lol you guys lost my service

the reviews had me wondering if it would be good or bad. We were pleasantly surprised! it was delicious! the food was fresh and amazing and the service was great. The restaurant was also very clean. will definitely be back! read more

The food tastes like it was reheated and not fresh. Although everything looks fresh it was not. The egg flower soup was ok. The atmosphere of the restaurant was ok. The service was ok. The cost was not ok. Panda Express beats them by one hundred times over. Do not waste your time here. Seriously read more

Not sure what happened to the place, 6-7 years ago the food was so flavorful. This was just soggy and bland, wasn't too expensive, wasn't bad, but just not very good. The host was great, polite and helpful but the food just wasn't worth it unfortunately. Too bad, used to love that place read more

We finally went in Heng's cafe today for my wife's lunch time we were a little skeptical due to some reviews but we decided to give it a try since she only has a little time for her lunch wasn't expecting as good it was it was.we got the lunch special with the egg flower soup and we got each some rice plates. Everything was hot, fresh, and good and not to mention the waiter was a really cool guy. We will definitely be going back. Since we like to support small businesses like this. I will definitely recommend it. read more

Love the food here. Best Chinese place in town!! The service is really quick & friendly. It's authentic Chinese food which I love. The prices are good as well. This is where I go when I want real Chinese Food. The pork fried rice is soooo good. The egg drop soup is bomb. Give it a try it won't disappoint. read more

Food is so delicious. The new waiter is great. The prices are fair. Definitely my favorite Chinese place in town. The curry chicken, bacon fried rice, orange chicken and steamed pork buns are some of my favorites. This place is definitely a hidden gem. read more

Only one table occupied when we arrived. The waitress can't even acknowledge us until I ask whether we can sit down. It takes her five minutes to take our order and then another ten minutes to bring our drink orders -- Coca Cola served in a can with no glass, straw or ice, and hot tea. It's now been at least fifteen minutes and still no appetizer. Mind you the industry standard is twelve minutes. Not coming back here. Still waiting for appetizer and meals. After over a half hour, the appetizer arrives. My plate is dirty. Food arrives, and is good and hot. One plus for this place. They offer take out. There has only been one take out order since we got here. He apparently called ahead, but he had to wait about fifteen minutes. Now there's some discussion over the order and that was just to pay the bill. Then he asks for an extra order of pot stickers. The waitress responds that he should cut his pot stickers in half. WTF? He's now waiting for his food. After another ten minutes, he gets his food. The waitress never came back to see whether we wanted or needed anything. Now we start the wait for the bill. Definitely not coming back here. read more

A decent Chinese food place in YC! We dined in and it was slow but the waitress was nice and the food was good. We ordered the pork fried rice, asparagus chicken, general chicken and chicken chow main; the general chicken and fried rice were my favorites. There was a lot of onions in the dishes but honestly that didn't bother me much I just picked them out, and there was still a ton of food left over to take home and for a decent price too. We also had egg rolls which I didn't take a picture of but they were good too. read more

Excellent food. We had war won ton soup, steamed pork buns, cheese wontons, garlic eggplant and steam garlic shrimp, Mongolian beef, chicken chow fun with brown sauce and chicken chow fun! read more

Food is not always consistent it's ok for a quick fix Very skimpy on their meats in any fish read more

Growing up I came to Heng's a lot, after getting new ownership I stopped going. I finally decided to give it & try, it was amazing. Everything tasted the same & the Wonton soup didn't disappoint! The lady that helped us was very sweet & gave us excellent service. The inside was pretty much the same, very peaceful! I will 10000% recommend this place!! read more

This restaurant is a knock off. There is nothing quality about the food. I ordered the general's chicken and the first bite tasted funny, so I broke open a nugget and there was a single sliver of of chicken in the middle of a huge nugget. It is made to appear like a lot of check but it is smoke and mirrors with a ton of batter and a 2mm strip of meat. When I pointed it out to the chef he yelled at me and said "everyone eat it!" "You only one that do that!" (Break open the nugget to see if there was actual chicken in it). What a horrible dining experience! DO NOT EAT HERE! General Chicken read more

HAVE AGAIN: Egg fu yung was good as was the asparagus chicken. NOT HAVE AGAIN: Did not care for the spare ribs. read more

I tried Heng's cafe on a sunday night. I was again on my quest to find the best pho and sweeet and sour chicken in the yuba area. The place was tucked away in the corner of the shopping center, but the open sign was flashing. I took a seat in the corner of the store and ordered the pho for dine in and the sweet and sour chicken for take out. The broth was very good, slightly spicy hot, but flavorful. The noodles were fresh, and proper hoisin was provided along with hot sauce. The amount of meat was average, especially for $9.50 a bowl. I preferred the beef slices over the meatballs, but in total, it was a good dish. The sweet and sour chicken was very good. the chicken was not overly battered and the sauce was awesome. The service was great, my server was efficient and thoughful. will return! read more

The service was slow for 1:00 pm. Only one guy working. We stood for ten minutes before we decided we to just seat ourselves. A lady came on duty at 1:45 pm. The chicken chowmein was dry no flavor. They said as we were leaving that most people love their chowmein dry. The chicken had funky taste. Sweet n sour was good. No ice in our water cups. They serve Pepsi in a can for $2.29 each. No one checked on us to see how we were doing. We had find someone to get us more water. To top it all off they forgot half our order. The table next to us got the wrong order and some of their order was missing also. read more

I love Heng's cafe and eat there regularly. In my opinion the food is wonderful! I have eaten there once a week for the last 6 weeks. Yes there is a new owner. Yes it is a bit different than before. After the pandemic there are not as many people dining in and as far as I can tell only two people operate the entire restaurant. The waitress is truly wonderful! She never makes a mistake and is very kind! She is on top of refills and works hard to please everyone. The owner / chef is a great cook! The egg drop soup is complex and the best I have ever tasted. The almond chicken is perfect and has a wonderful component of fresh vegetables. The pork fried rice is so flavorful. Just the right about of char and saltiness. The sweet and sour chicken/pork is great. The portion size is abundant but not glutinous. Every person or couple that has joined me has also enjoyed the food and expressed a desire to return. Give the restaurant a shot! For being a two person operation I think you will be very blessed! It is my strong desire for this restauant to flourish so that I can keep eating there for years to come. read more

The wontons were pretty crispy and not filled with much; a friend and I ordered online and picked up, before returning to work, we ordered different plates, but received literally the same plates. I say 'meh' it was strip mall Chinese food. read more

This is not the Chinese place you would want to visit. If you know Chinese cuisine you do not belong here. I ordered duck and it tasted like leather. It seemed to be yesterday's duck reheated. The fried rice had bean sprouts in it, wrong! My soup bowl was dirty. I was turned off I could not eat the food. I saw the cook w/ apron on coming out of the bathroom....now that's nasty! There back door was open and they had thrown the mop bucket water out the door which had chunks of food in it, which leads to entertaining rats! The tables are sticky the children's high chairs are thick w/ dirt. Good luck if you try it. I had to leave !!!! read more

Asparagus chicken and house fried rice are really good! Veggie egg rolls too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vegetarian chow mein with crunchy noodles was chopped up celery and onion, there was no bean sprouts like traditional, the egg foo young tasted old. $42.00 bucks in the trash. When my husband called to ask where the bean sprout noodle was she said we only put them in chicken and beef chow mein all in all trash food. Sad cause I was really looking forward to it, sad because I'm outa pocket 42 bucks. read more

Heng's Cafe - a child sitting at a table - Chinese Near Me - Yuba City, California

I still have that greasy MSG taste in my mouth...and not in a good way. I know better than to eat at sketchy dirty restaurants in Yuba City, but I thought maybe I would be pleasantly surprised. How very wrong I was. I had a fever and the only prescription was some Chinese food, so I drug my family here for lunch today. This "restaurant" however, was not serving Chinese food on this particular day. At least in any genuine sense. This was more like hot garbage piled on plates. I've had some pretty bad Chinese food in my time. Some dirt cheap, sketchy as hell Chinese food...this is miles below anything I've ever had the misfortune of putting in my mouth, Chinese or not. This was literally the worst food I've ever eaten. The chicken (which was 90% of the dishes we ordered) had a texture and flavor that made me imagine they had rolled whatever cut of chicken they're serving in MSG powder, let it sit at room temperature on a counter for a few hours, re-seasoned with more MSG and then cooked it up for a sad sucker like me. I keep mentioning MSG because that was really the only "flavor" present in the food. We ordered sweet and sour chicken, general's chicken, kung pao chicken, broccoli beef, and chicken fried rice. One would think that with the varying sauces that these dishes would taste different but besides the sweet and sour, it all tasted the same. My son got a mango boba tea and that tasted like ice blended with some shitty artificial mango syrup, pretty gross. Hair in my food doesn't gross me out quite like it does some people, but to add insult to injury I got to the bottom of my single scoop of fried rice and sure enough...someone's nasty eyelash or something was just staring up at me as if to say "This is what you get for being trusting, you stupid idiot." Everything about this place is gross: from their tacky chipped up soup cups/plates to their dirty un-vacuumed floors to their rat meat masquerading as chicken to their (badly) hand written signs all over the restaurant. Hey, at least we got to catch up on our day time soap operas! They had a nice little 27" TV in the middle of the dining room blasting all my children or something equally cringe inducing. read more
