    Lollibowl combo A1
    Julie H.

    Must get is the lollibowl combo with soup on the side!!! Trust me!!! The best thing ever I could eat it everyday!

    Salted fish fried rice

    This spot never disappoints. I've been coming for ever. I love that there is a boba shop in 1/2 of the restaurant. The half chicken is DELICIOUS with the salt/lemon combo, and the salt & pepper wings are dare I say... the best in town!? The beef chow fun is full of flavor, but the steak cubes and rice are my absolute favorite. I've even tried recreating them at home. Salted fish fried rice is also a favorite. It sounds interesting...but trust me it is so good and not salty at all! Service is always 10/10, everyone is so nice and friendly, and the bottomless iced tea is one of my favorite things about this place. Definitely a go to spot for me and my family. Portions are wonderful and so is pricing.

    Mongolian beef, stir fried steak cubes with tofu, walnut shrimp, Peking spare ribs
    Alex D.

    I have been going to Lollibowl almost my whole life since I was a little kid. Lollibowl is a Sacramento staple located in predominately Asian plaza with a lot of other good restaurants around. I'm sure everyone loves and comes back to this place specifically because it's delicious, reliable and affordable. When entering, you're hit by a nostalgic smell that is unforgettable and it looks like it has never changed since I was a kid. It wasn't too busy at the time, so we were seated very quickly within 1 minute and got our waters and menus right after. I came here with 3 other friends and we decided to eat family style rather than ordering individually. The server came by after a few minutes and checked in to see if we were ready to place an order. We ordered the Mongolian beef, stir fried beef cubes with tofu, walnut shrimp, and Peking spare ribs. We also got a side of rice for us to share. The food came out very quickly and steaming hot, which is always amazing to see! I picked the Mongolian beef because that's what I usually get, and it just tastes fantastic. The peppers and onion add a nice flavor to the dish and the beef is always so tender. One of my friends ordered the stir fried beef with tofu and this is something I've never tried before, and it was great! Overall, I had an amazing experience eating there with my friends and being reminded of my childhood when I used to come with my parents and sister! I'd definitely recommend anyone to check it out and order the Mongolian beef!

    tomato beef

    Haven't been to Lollibowl in forever, glad it's still around. I got the tomato beef and the taste isn't quite what I remembered it to be but it was good. The beef itself was a lil too cooked to my liking and some of the meats were too chewy. Aside from that, I still enjoyed it. Would come back to try other items.

    Walnut shrimp

    I've been coming to Lollibowl for years, and it's still one of my favorite spots to grab a good meal. My usuals are the Mongolian beef, the deep-fried whole flounder, and the Bo Luc Lac -- all super tasty and always consistent. I also really like their Hainan chicken when I'm in the mood for something comforting. Nothing fancy, just solid food that hits the spot every time. Definitely worth a visit.

    Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice
    Tiffy S.

    MUST TRY!! Everything about this place gets 5 BIG BOOMS. Spacious, waitlist at door, tables, and booths. Service is so speedy! Servers are great at recommendations and answering any questions. Food comes out depending on how busy it is. I came twice, once when it was dead, once when it was busy. The first time I blinked and the food was there. Second time waited 15 minutes. Another BIG thing is it's insanely cheap!!! In this economy these prices are rare for the quality and quantity of food received. My Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice was shared btw 4 people and we still had leftovers. Lots of menu items to pick from, I recommend looking at their online menu beforehand. And any dish with Beef is top tier!! Come and be in food heaven at a low price ‼

    The food never disappoints. Love the beef with sugar peas, mapo tofu, and chicken wings. I like how you can order drinks from Lollicup while dining too. The prices are very good too for the amount of food you get for each dish.

    Authentic broth for soups and delicious dishes. Fast and swift service. Very clean indoor dining. Outside looks intimidating but inside very nice. Good food for after church or lunch family meet up

    Shaking Beef with red rice. Definitely a favorite!
    Jim P.

    Good selection of authentic Chinese food. The wife especially likes the shaking tiger Beef over noodles. Ample seating and staff that treats you like a regular on your first visit. Maybe that was because they knew my inlaws, but I didn't care! It was endearing. We keep coming back for wonton noodle soup.

    Wonton noodle
    Lily N.

    This place is a staple for the South sac area and I've been coming here for as long as they've been opened! I will admit that the dishes are a bit of a hit or miss for me and I do feel it just depends on each individual's taste. They have quick service here. Although they had to raise their prices due to inflation, just like all other businesses, I feel that their prices are still reasonable and still a great value due to the large portion sizes. What I like to order and recommendations: -Wonton Noodle Soup (w/ flat white noodles) -Beef Chow Fun (Dry style) -Chicken Wings -Steak Cube with Red Rice Small but sufficient parking lot. Plenty of booth seating inside and can accommodate larger groups.

    Beef Chow Fun
    Harry V.

    I've been coming to Lollibowl for years for their food. It's still by far one of my family's and I's favorite spot to go to every time I get a chance to visit them. My usual order is the red fried rice with pepper steak rubes and beef chow fun. I would recommend these 2 dishes to anyone trying Lollibowl for the first time. The red rice with steak cubes is nice and flavorful. Comes with a variety of vegetables so it adds depth to the dish. The beef chow fun is not too oily, favorful, and has that flavorful char from the intense high heat they toss it in. We also tried a few new items and they were spectacular. The crispy chicken was amazing, served with some salt and lemon on the side. We also ordered stir fried bok choy. It had a lot of flavor with the sauce they add to it. It's amazing how the bok choy still maintains it's crunch and texture after getting tossed in that delicious sauce. Overall my experience has always been great here. The service was amazing. The team always took care of us. Anything that was unsatisfactory they will make it right for you. I really appreciate how much the staff here put in the time to take care of the customers. The ambiance was well kept, clean, and maintained.

    I've always come for the boba as it is cheap and you can't find cheap boba much places anymore. Boba is always good, cheap, refreshing. They offer a wide variety of toppings, even mini boba which is a lot better than regular boba. We ate lollibowl and it's delicious. Always cheap, hot, and delicious. Not much I can say. The rice could use a little more seasoning but no worries. Service is quick. Love coming here regularly. (Same review by me on Google)

    salt and pepper wings
    Cindy L.

    My dad really likes this place lol We came around 3pm on a Sunday and we were seated immediately and was able to put in our orders really fast! It is connected to a lollicup so if you want a boba fix, it's conveniently next door! The inside is clean and fairly big and has a good amount of seating, even for a bigger party! Our food came out within 10 minutes and the servers/staff were attentive and checked up on us often! I got the: - Beef Chow Fun: The picture doesn't do it justice but this was a huuuuuge serving, both my dad and I were so surprised! I got it for myself but would definitely feed a few people or be great for leftovers! I personally wish it was a big more flavorful but it was still really good and they had a lot of pieces of beef and onion throughout! We shared the: - Salt and Pepper Wings: These wings were soooo good, it had suchhh a good flavor and a great crunch and wasn't too oily! I also love the bed of green onions it was on bc it was nice to eat along side the wings! Def recommend getting the wings! This place has been here for years and it hasn't changed which i love! Their menu has a variety of options so I would definitely come back to try other things in the menu! I recommend coming here if you are around the area!

They will buzz your buzzer and you pick up at the designated window. The service was quick - we got our food within 5 minutes of ordering. There are self-served condiments table on the right side of the pick up window. You can load as much condiments as you like. They have pickled mustard greens, pickled long beans, bamboo shoots, roasted soy bean, roasted peanuts, scallions, cilantro, and hot sauces. - A1 Guilin Rice Noodle: the noodle was very soft (but a bit too soft for me). The meat pieces were tender and good. The crackling pork pieces were super crispy and gave a nice texture to the dish. - A10 Braised Pork Dry Tossed Noodle: the curly noodle was firmer type than A1 and had a bit of chew (which was similar to instant noodle) and I prefer this. The braised pork was flavorful and delicious! - B11 Preserved Duck Egg with Tofu: the tofu was soft and was a good combo with the preserved duck egg. The egg itself didn't have very strong taste so it was very pleasant. The spicy sauce was mild for me but the overall dish was good. - C1 Old Gui Lin Boba Milk Tea (less sugar): good and milky.

It was super tough! I did enjoy the flavor of the soups though. It seemed like the broth was high fat content. I really liked the self-serve condiment bar. This was one of the highlights for me. I'll be a returning customer.

The drunken noodle plate was so BIG, then compared to the yum woonsen and khao soo those were soo small. I wanna say their stir fried dishes r big portions and everything else is small ig. Flavor of yum woonsen was pretty good, i usually like the sauce, two shrimps. Drunken noodle not bad, noodles r cut rly big lol and bit mushy decent flavor. Overall wouldnt come back, would rather go to saivaree (sister restaurant) which gives better portions and i believe their pricing is cheaper/same.
