I saw this restaurant on Instagram and wanted to check it out! We took our order first, and then sat down. The service was very kind and friendly and when I had a question about the "lychee boba" he showed me what it was exactly so I was able to change it to the rainbow jelly because their flavored boba is the "popping" bobas. We ordered the braised beef noodle soup, the special pancake, the strawberry smoothie, and shaved ice. Everything was so good, especially the special pancake that was my favorite. It was savory, had the perfect texture and crunch inside with some cucumbers to help keep feeling fresh. The shaved ice also exceeded my expectations because they use a milk base instead of just water for the shaved ice. The toppings go really nicely with it! I recommend trying this for the summer Everything was delicious I really don't have anything to criticize about! The place was clean, bathroom was clean and AC was on because it was hot outside. Do be aware that their English isn't fluent but they will make sure you ordered what you want! 10/10 food and experience for me :) I will definitely come back again read more

Awesome service, great food, fresh ingredients and tasty crispy pork on top of noodles.

I love coming to this place because the Guilin noodle taste so good here! I love how once you get your noodles, you can add as much condiments and ingredients you want. Also, they don't expect customers to tip them because they want to follow the Chinese ways. But if you do, I'm sure they'll accept lol. read more

Old Gui Lin - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've come here twice and both times it did not disappoint! Something to note here, is that you would pay first for your meal, receive a device that notifies you when your order is ready, and then take a seat wherever you'd like. Since this is the case, I recommend coming earlier if you have a larger party. This does seem to be a popular place with larger groups. There are no wait staff to clean up your dishes or to check in with you. If you need anything, you either go back to the cashier or go to the pickup counter. They do ask (based on signs) that you put away your dishes in the designated areas and keep your dining area clean. During my first visit here, we ordered Guilin Rice Noodles and Beef Roll Pancake. Both dishes were delicious. They came out relatively quickly and the food was very fresh. For the noodle dishes, I recommend adding plenty of toppings. There is a topping station near the pickup counter. Usually I had my partner load up our noodles and he seems to add everything, and it seems to be the best way to enjoy your noodles! The Guilin Rice Noodles have great texture, flavor, and freshness to them. I highly recommend the Guilin Rice Noodles. I also remember the Beef Roll Pancake being great and comparable to other local restaurants. During my second visit, we ordered Beef Brisket Dry Tossed Rice Noodles, Cold Marinated Seaweed, Pumpkin Pancake and Fresh Soymilk. The Beef Brisket Dry Tossed Rice Noodle was somewhat similar to the Guilin Rice Noodles. There are chewy pieces of beef brisket, which I enjoyed but some people may not. They were seasoned well though. It does come with a side of plain broth as a palate cleanser. I do recommend adding plenty of toppings to this dish. The noodle bowl may seem small, but when you add the toppings, it is very filling and you may be able to share it! The rice noodles that they use has a great chew and texture. If you are a bun bo hue (Vietnamese spicy beef noodles) enthusiast, these rice noodles are very similar. Cold Marinated Seaweed - Pretty generous serving, slightly spicy, and garlicky. I enjoyed this side dish! Pumpkin Pancake - this is supposed to be more of a sweet kind of dish. It wasn't very sweet though. It might taste better with some sugar or condensed milk. It was fried and very hot when it came out. It seems like they use kabocha as the pumpkin part, and there are sesame seeds. It has a chewy texture like nian gao. Not sure if I would get this again. Fresh Soymilk - We decided to order it since I saw another person order it and the staff prepared the drink by scooping it out of a large pot, which made me believe this was definitely fresh, and it was! If you love fresh soymilk from the tofu store/Asian grocery store, this is for you. It was warm when it came out and I think it was not too sweet. They did put it in a boba cup which was interesting lol. The cashier who was helping us seemed very pleased we were ordering it and gave us a thumbs up. It was adorable. Something to note is that the staff does not speak much English, so I would take the time to make sure your order is correct. We didn't have any issues, but I imagine that they have had issues, such that the cashier used a long stick to point to things on the menu when we ordered in English to confirm that each item was what we actually wanted. They do take card by the way. Parking can be challenging in this plaza. Overall, I highly recommend Old Gui Lin and it is definitely authentic! read more

The rice noodles are different and delicious . The extra topping from the self serve bar were an added surprise. I tried the rice noodles with braised brisket. The flavor was good but there were a lot of pieces of gristle and fat. I also tried the rice noodles with pork ribs. A lot of small pieces of pork and bones. The rice noodles are unique and great bit they need to upgrade their meat. read more

Old Gui Lin is a gem! Nestled in Freeport along the many other businesses, you'll find Old Gui Lin. It's a small spot that can seat about 30 people all together. The seating is an open style and you share the table with others. It gives off the vibes as if I'm in an Asian country where the seating arrangement is common (it's a good thing!). Feels comforting and home-y at the same time. It's a self-service style, almost like a food court vibe for the most part. You order first, then find seating and when your food is ready, you'll pick it up and add whatever toppings you'd like. You also help yourself to water. The employees are friendly and keep the place clean. The food is good. I got the A1 Noodle Soup for myself, which I recommend to anyone who's a first timer. The portion and pricing is amazing. I appreciate how clean the soup is and tastes. The beef roll was okay to me, and the fries are fries. I was randomly craving it, and surprisingly they had it. I love the concept of being able to add toppings of your choice to your dish. Some items that the topping bar includes: - green onions - pickled vegetables - roasted peanuts - roasted pine nuts - roasted red peppers - chili oil - vinegar - soy sauce - a few others I can't remember The only downside to this place is there isn't much parking, which is out of control of the business, so I recommend carpooling if you can. read more

Food is good, service is fast, portions are ginormous. But the person at the counter doesn't speak English- so often when placing an online order via their website, unless it's through DoorDash, they have no clue that it came through. Or what your order was, even if it's paid. read more

This is a cafeteria style order and sit down kinda place. They have the toppings bar, which is my fav. I love the pickled veggies and spices they provide. It gets really busy and the ladies working there are always bussing tables and cleaning. One time our order was mixed with another costumer and we were given a free chinese burrito (rarely happens in a Chinese restaurant). I will definitely go here again for the beef noodles soup. read more

A good friend of mine is from Guilin, China and she told me about how the noodles from that region are delicious - and different from the noodles found in most of the Sacramento area's restaurants. Upon hearing that there was a couple of restaurants in Sacramento featuring Guilan food, we had to give Old Guilan on Freeport Blvd a try. Upon walking inside, you can see huge menus (with pictures and descriptions) on the wall and community-style tables. After placing our order at the counter and paying, we were provided a buzzer and found a couple of seats. Within a few minutes, our buzzer went off and we picked up our orders: A2 Beef Brisket with Dry Tossed Rice Noodles and A4 Braised Diced Pork with Dry Tossed Rice Noodles. Both orders came with a small bowl of broth that could be added to our noodle bowls (it had a very mild flavor). The Beef Brisket was so tender and flavorful. And the Braised Pork was really tasty too; that bowl came with a boiled egg (soy-based? which really didn't do anything for me). The rice noodles were unlike any noodles I've tried before: silky smooth and went really well with the meats. Oh, there was a self-service toppings/condiment bar that contained green onions, cilantro, bamboo shoots, pickled veggies, diced green beans, roasted mung beans, roasted peanuts, and a couple of spicy chili oils. I tried a tiny bit of most of the items but I'm not sure how my noodle bowl was supposed to be topped. I also tried a milk tea with boba but it was ok. Their drink menu did look interesting and I would definitely give other drinks a try. Overall, we really liked our food and will be back to try other dishes. There is no service and customers are expected to bus their own tables. There's even a sign on the table saying this. Lol. Parking can be challenging in this popular strip mall. Street parking is available though and preferred over having to find a spot in the lot. Warning: there are customers will park illegally perpendicular to parking lot spots - which will make it annoyingly difficult or impossible to reverse out of your parking lot spot. read more

Decided to come on a Friday afternoon to try this place to see if it is as authentic as it is in Taiwan. The parking situation isn't the best, took a while to find parking. It was relatively clean inside. ordering is quite simple. Order at the register and secure a beeper, then pick up your food and add your own toppings on the side. food was ready within minutes! impressive. one thing we wished was that there was less tendon and more of the brisket meat part (as one of the bowls were filled with tendon). The fresh mung bean drink is refreshing and house made! not too sweet either. noodles and flavor were good! ended up accidentally ordering the brown sugar rice cake and it was surprisingly delicious and the texture was good! overall, would come back and recommend to others. read more

Old Gui Lin - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

I have had take-out from here and finally got to dine in on a Friday night. It was around 6:30 pm and not busy at all. I heard lunch time is packed. This is a counter/self service restaurant on Freeport Blvd. The older grandpa like gentleman (assuming he is the owner or family) took our orders right away, gave us a buzzer to alert us when the food is ready. It was less than 10 minutes. ok, the BEST part is the self-service toppings. I love pickled cabbage, roasted peanuts, cilantro, and green onions. I was loading it up and went back for seconds. It just added so many flavors and texture to the already delicious noodles or rice dish. I had the Pork Ribs Fried Tossed Rice Noodles and it came with a small broth soup on the side. The meat was tender and savory. My husband had the large bowl of Double Combo Rice with beef and pork ribs. He managed to eat it all and it was huge. We also added an egg each. I usually don't get a sweet drink for dinner but the Fruit Tea here is exceptional! It actually taste like fresh brewed tea with fresh fruit. Well Done! Keep in mind that this is not a fancy sit down place with table cloth and you're spending two hours dining. It's quick, inexpensive and delicious. The left over tasted even better the next day! High recommended and will be back to try other dishes. read more

Wife was craving Guangxi Noodles. The restaurant is popular among Sacramento WeChat groups and Little Red Book (China's version of Instagram). Restaurant serve the base (noodles and meat), and the customer can scoop their own vegetable toppings. "Meat" is used loosely as it is mainly skin and fat, but that is expected for $14 in 2024. The skin is crispy and serve as a contrast to the soft noodles. Flavors are decent as you can customize to your liking with pickled vegetables and hot sauce. I thought it was delicious, but my wife felt it wasn't "authentic" enough. However, my wife and I unanimously agree the beef pancake rolls were the best. Beef pancake was filled with meat, pancake had a nice savory flavor and wasn't too oily. If we were to come back, it would be mainly for this dish only. The milk tea boba was decent. It isn't as good as a dedicated boba shops, but boba was soft and milk tea tasted fresh. Customers order upfront, pick up their food when pager vibrates, and bus their own tables afterwards. However, tips aren't expected. A rarity in modern times. I would recommend this if you are craving Guangxi noodles or want a unique tasting experience if you are unfamilar with the cuisine. I feel it hits a nice sweet spot for mainstream appeal and authenticity. However, my wife insists I dock a star due to flavor profiles not being authentic. read more

Old Gui Lin - Solid Spot for Authentic Chinese Dishes I've been to Old Gui Lin three times now, and each visit has been consistently good. when I'm in the mood for something more traditional and regional, this place definitely hits the spot. Their Guilin rice noodles are flavorful and comforting -- the broth is savory, and the noodles have that great chewy texture. I've also tried the braised beef with pickled vegetables, and it was tender, well-seasoned, and really satisfying. The restaurant itself is low-key and clean, nothing fancy, but the staff is friendly and the service is efficient. Prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. Overall, if you're looking for authentic southern Chinese cuisine, Old Gui Lin is a solid choice read more

For a noodleholic like me, Old Gui Lin was heaven sent! I did a little research on Yelp but still wasn't quite sure how things would go there. Fear not, i have figured it out, and will help fellow noodle-maniacs as best I can. So this is purely a fast food place. You walk up and place your order, get a vibrating pager, and take your seat. When you order the Gui Lin style noodles, you will get a bowl of awesome rice noodles in a bowl topped with meats, and the side bowl of broth. You can proceed to the toppings bar, and start loading up all the condiment goodies on top of your noodles and meat. Most of the toppings are preserved veggies, and will be on the sour side, so proceed as you like. The hot chili oil and peanuts are must haves. You get back to your table and then you can pour the broth into your noodles at this point, and then mix everything up into a savory sour delight. I tasted the broth straight and it is a very light beef flavor, so I wouldn't really consider it a side drinking soup. It is much better poured into your noodles to give it some moisture and create a soup/sauce base. My favorite meat was the crispy pork in bowl A1. The skin is oh so crunchy crispy just the way I like it. I love how the payment kiosk didn't beg for tips like 99.9% of all payment machines!! They have a tip jar so you may want to bring a few dollars for the workers. They don't speak much english but that just adds to the authenticity. Can't wait to go back and try the other bowls and the appetizers as well. I'm sad to see Boba Cafe go, but glad Old Gui Lin is the one to replace them. read more

Old Gui Lin - My A1 Gui Lin Noodles loaded with goodies! - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

I'm in the Freeport area pretty frequently and noticed this place. The businesses in this part of Freeport have changed significantly over time (my parents owned the fish store - Crystal Aquarium on this block). I noticed that this restaurant popped up so I wanted to try it. We ordered the A1, A5, B3, and B18. The staff were very friendly and quick. Overall, I would definitely come back to try some of their other dishes. Pros: the food comes out quickly after you order. I ordered the A5 which had broth and the braised pork was on point. The pork was crispy and flavorful. Even though A1 is the popular dish, I don't think I would order it again. There's a bar of dry condiments where you can add to your bowl to give the noodles flavor. They also have a broth dispenser. I loved the mini steamed buns, the right size and sweetness to end my meal. Cons: the seating is cafeteria style so we waited a bit til seating opened up. It's easier to find a spot for smaller groups since this place gets busy. Parking is not the best either. Some of the other businesses have parking blocked off for their customers only. read more

I have very fond memories of eating Guilin noodles at a cafeteria in Beijing when I studied abroad. The ones I had at the cafeteria was a soup based version and was delicious, so when I heard this place opened replacing Boba Cafe, which I also liked, I was like I have to go. Parking on Saturday at noon was pretty awful, there were very few spaces so I had to park behind the strip. Ordering is at the front and then they call your number when your order is ready, you go to a little table to the side to add condiments to your bowl (lots of pickled veggies, chilis, cilantro,green onions, vinegar, peanuts, etc). The tables are communal so you just find an open spot, eat up, and at the end you bus your own table. It kind of reminded me of eating in a Chinese cafeteria. I think I liked the noodles I had in China better, and if there were other places like this I would probably not rate it as highly, but I am really glad that a different noodle place has opened in Sacramento. I probably wouldn't rush back right away, but I'd definitely come back. You also know you are somewhere pretty authentic when everyone there is Chinese and the default language is Chinese, from ordering, number calling, random people asking me if seats were open, even a random guy I bumped into said it was ok in Chinese. read more

Fast casual style, order and pay up front. All soups are served on the side but you can add it to your noodles to make it a noodle soup! They have a little topping bar with various toppings like pickled veggies, spices and bamboo so don't be surprised when your # is called and you see just a bowl of noodles and meat. I was surprised and wondering why my order didn't look like the picture haha I love all the toppings you can add yourself. The noodles and meat were quite delicious. My only complaint is after adding all the toppings, the soup becomes warm. I love having a steamy hot bowl of noodle soup so I might get this to go next time and heat up everything at home. Other than that, everything was tasty! Service - well you don't really need much service since you just pay upfront as in most fast casual restaurants but if you have questions, the server up front was nice about answering them. read more

Kinda blown away with this place, I wanted to visit a place like The Flame Cafe and discovered Old Gui Lin next to Tealicious. The place is super clean and nice inside, the service was extremely quick, there is a condiment bar, and the food was tasty & delicious. For to-go orders, they gave a cute complimentary bag. Parking sucks but along this old school strip mall on Freeport is some of the best Chinese food I've ever had! Will be returning to dine in and try other dishes, but to start or if you're a newbie - the Braised Pork Rice is very good with generous portions :) read more

Love it here. They have traditional Guilin noodle entrees! I've only ever had several different instant snail noodle packages from 99 ranch. Different cities and styles in China but it's pretty similar from someone who's not cultured, imo. I was thrilled to taste a real bowl when I saw the DIY toppings bar!! It's my third time coming here. Great place to eat alone. Tables are long for large groups as well. Braised Beef Soup - yum. Braised beef is super tender. Only thing is the side soup really tastes like boiled noodle water. Pretty sure it's supposed to taste like that but it's not for me. Guilin Noodle Bowl - my go to. Really good and simple meal. I absolutely love this bowl with the roasted peanuts, an abundance of cilantro and extra sour pickled veggies. Again, soup not my preference. Rolled Beef Pancake - love the texture of the pancake but it's lacking some flavor. Cucumber salad - good, oily. I think their chili paste isn't as spicy. Still a good crunch to the meal!! Also the sauce is good to dip the pancake into if you desire some extra flavors. read more

This is a new rice noodle place on Freeport! Definitely get the rice noodle dishes over the regular noodles cause they just use ramen noodles. When they give you the noodles, there is just meat on top, but there is a topping bar where you can add pickled vegetables and other stuff. The appetizers are where it's at! The beef roll was sooo good! They wrap the beef in a green onion pancake. The pumpkin pancake was also nice and chewy with a little crisp. I definitely prefer their appetizers over the main dishes. read more

My favorite Chinese gem in Sacramento on Freeport. I can't begin to tell you how this bowl of soup warms your soul after a long work day. Can get dry tossed or soup based noodles, but personally dry tossed is the way to go. Self serve pickled vegetables is what makes this dish and it's fun experimenting with what works. Each bowl comes with soup and can be used to mellow out your bowl if you went overboard on the toppings. I don't know Chinese but have always had luck reading the number of the dish (A1, A17, etc) to the cashier and they are always super nice and friendly to me. The place can get very crazy at peak lunch and dinner time so it can be a little chaotic so be mindful of what time you come in cause there may not be seats at times. read more

To give an objective review: the food is good, but the low rating is for the service attitude. I placed two orders within three days -- one on Saturday and one on Monday. On Saturday, they gave me a regular-sized box for the toppings. But on Monday, they gave me a tiny condiment container for the exact same items. So I asked whether it could even fit, and the staff told me to mix everything with the noodles. I said that wouldn't work because the green onions and cilantro would get soggy on the way home, and asked if they could give me a bigger container like the one I received on Saturday. The staff said they couldn't, claiming that takeout always comes in the small condiment cup, and that I must have remembered wrong about Saturday. I told them they could check the security footage from around noon on Saturday -- it clearly shows what container I was given. Then the staff told me that if I insisted, I should just eat in the restaurant before leaving. I told them I ordered two takeout portions and came alone to pick them up -- how am I supposed to eat both on the spot? They kept insisting they were right, that they always use the small cups, and that I was mistaken about the container size. I said I've packed takeout many times before, and it has always been the larger box，if today's tiny cup is 'the standard,' does that mean all the previous staff were wrong? They said that was impossible and asked me to come back the next day to talk to the boss. The most disappointing part wasn't even the container issue, but the fact that I clearly ordered takeout，meaning I wasn't able to dine in，but they still insisted I should eat inside before leaving. It was unbelievable and very frustrating. 客观地评价一下，东西是好吃的，但低分是给服务态度！三天内下单两次，第一次是礼拜六，第二次是礼拜一。礼拜六给我一个正常的盒子打包配料，礼拜一只给我一个装调料的迷你容器装同样得东西。于是我提出装不下的疑问，店员叫我和粉放一起。我说没办法放啊，等下葱和香菜都软了回家不好吃了，可以给我一个大些的盒子吗，我周六那天来也是用的那种装。结果店员说没法，外卖就是给的这个，周六那天是你搞错了，我们不会给那种，一直给的小调料盒。我说我不可能错，你自己看周六中午十二点的监控，清楚看到给我的是哪种。结果店员说，既然这样，提出让我在店里吃了再走吧。我说我下单两个外卖，一个人来拿，你让我吃掉再走？我怎么吃两个？店员一直在坚持他们是对的，他们一直这样，至于盒子的尺寸是我弄错。我说我不是第一两次打包外卖，每次都是那种，这次给我这么小的盒子，忽悠誰，这么说我之前来的每一次都是店员搞错了嗎？他们说不可能，叫我次日过来和老板說。别的不说，最不满意的就是明明要的外卖，说明不便在店内吃，还硬是要客人在店里吃了再走，真的是很无语！ read more

Me and my family always pass by this place. So we finally try this place. The food is ok for my taste. The person at the counter doesn't speak English. I've try to ask questions about the dishes. For example: I pointed to tofu with preserved egg picture. I ask if this dish is hot/spicy. Couldn't answer my question. So I took chance. The dish is cold temperature and not spicy(the picture looks like it was spicy). Daughter had braised pork with ramen and spouse had dry noodles w/pork. They said their dish was ok. I don't think we will come to back here again. read more

I love finding hidden gems of Sacramento. Hidden away in the Freeport area, I was really glad to have been recommended this place. This was definitely worth how pack the restaurant was. We went around 6pm and were able to get seats right away. The food came out fast and steaming and there's a self serve topping area to add to your dishes. I ordered the A3 and my friend had gotten A1, but I wasn't able to capture a picture of her dish. For our total it was around $30 which I thought is reasonable considering the portion sizes. Highly recommend if you're ever craving something like this or want to try something new. read more

Old Gui Lin has really grown on us. We been here a handful of times now and food is consistent. The general concept is you order at the counter and once your noodle dish comes out you add your own topping from the self serve toppings station. The toppings station consist of preserved veggies, green onions, chili, and peanuts. You can add as much or as little as you like. They also offer a variety of appetizers or side dishes. My go to is A1. Come check them out if you like dry style noodles that is a little different from other Chinese restaurants in town. Just a side note: Like a lot of authentic spots, the staff here mainly speaks Chinese. read more
