“Tried this place a couple weeks ago with my mom while in town visiting. At first the area seems to be sketchy but thought we'd still give it a try! From inside it's super tiny with a few tables as in about 3ish which looked very clean and comfortable. The lady who took our order was helpful going over some options as it being our first time! As per usual I always order generals chicken, let me just say probably one of the best in a very long time!! It has the perfect crunch and was not soggy from all the sauce! The prices were very reasonable and the lunch specials are amazingly a fabulous deal! Don't hesitate and ignore the location it's in and try! You won't be disappointed!! However I forgot to take pictures to post but next time I will update and add some :)“
“Most dishes were outstanding! And the personalized touch for our anniversary was lovely The quail appetizer was more breading than quail. My scallops were a tad too rare despite best efforts on the second attempt. We enjoy the creativity of the chef and appreciate the staff's commitment to fine dining which is lacking in most other Sacramento restaurants.“
“We had not been here in awhile so we decided to try Chicha again and what a great surprise!! The food was delicious and had the taste my wife was looking for and she being Peruvian knows very well the meaning of that. If you love Peruvian food I highly recommend you head over here and check it out. The owners and staff made sure the experience was a fantastic one. They are opening a second Chicha in Midtown at the end of March. Excellent Restaurant.“
“Probably the best sushi you'll get for this price point in the area! They have decent service and plenty of tables to accommodate larger parties or to seat many parties.We ordered the sashimi 18 pc, double toro roll, hamachi kama, and lychee cocktail. The 18 pc was worth it as you get some fish that you generally wouldn't get at other restaurants, and the double toro had some caviar on top which was a very nice surprise. The fish were fatty and fresh! The hamachi kama was great, it felt like it was never ending when we dug for more and more meat, and it was lightly seasoned which was nice.We would come back, it's especially great for residents in the area!“
“Found the place on Yelp. I try to find places that have Mexican shrimp cocktails, in hopes they have campechana which just adds octopus. Top marks for their campechana here! It has more kick than most, so I really like it. The hostess was very helpful when I custom designed a dish to try to hit keto, on a different day. So I ate here four meals in three days on a business trip. I took a road trip during the week and had shrimp cocktail an hour up the road… This one is way better. I would look forward to coming back here for the food.Dietary restrictions: Hostess readily customized a dish for my keto request“

“The food is soooo good!I got chicken tikka masala with saffron basmati rice and garlic naan. The amount of garlic on that soft naan is any garlic lovers dream. Flavorful even on its own but of course taste even better with some chicken tikka masala. The chicken tikka is done so well too. The sauce is thiccccc and the flavor is just chefs kiss! Good amount of chicken in there and tender.Service is welcoming and friendly. I talked to a staff briefly when I picked up my food. She is incredibly nice.I did take out but took a picture of the beautiful environment. Love the decor and colors. I hope todine in one day.“
“I recently dined at El Tapatio Mexican restaurant, and the experience was truly delightful. The atmosphere was wonderful, creating a warm and inviting vibe. The staff exhibited professionalism and warmth throughout our visit, enhancing the overall dining experience.The food was great. The menu offered a variety of options, and each dish we tried was a great. The cucumber Margaritas were a standout, a refreshing twist to the classic cocktail.One notable feature was the television screens in the bar area, providing an excellent opportunity to catch up on sporting events while enjoying the meal. What stood out was the lack of wait at the bar, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience.Considering the fantastic food, inviting atmosphere, and the added bonus of a lively bar area with multiple screens, I believe El Tapatio would be an excellent choice for hosting family from out of town. The combination of a yummy meal and a fun, upbeat environment makes it a nice option for those seeking both tasty food and a vibrant dining experience.The bartender told me about live music every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 5-8pm. We will definitely be back.Vegetarian options: Lots of options I did not take the time to write out each and everyone but I was fully satisfied as a person that was raised vegetarian and I'm 54 now.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Folsom palace is definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants in the entire greater Sacramento area. We got the BBQ pork buns, lo mien noodle, and Szechuan beef (pictured). They all tasted like homemade Chinese dishes, bursting with flavors from different regions of China. The dishes are huge and are meant to be shared with others so bring your appetite and 16 people. I was sad to discover that this place was not actually a palace, but it still looked nice inside. The staff were super friendly and were running around like crazy. They served us and the palace well. I didn’t realize they have three locations (palaces?), but this one was rated the highest. I’ll be back!Vegetarian options: There’s vegetable noodles. You can also have some rice with vegetables“
“All I can say is yum, yum, YUM!!! Favorite was pan fried juicy pork bun. Second favorite was spicy pork soup dumpling (pork xiao long bao). Third place is the steamed chicken dumpling, it was less flavorful than the others, but still delicious! We ordered two more rounds of the pan fried buns because 6 was just not enough when they are so delicious! My husband also LOVES the popcorn chicken. We ordered it non spicy for the kiddo and she enjoyed it. Spicy for us. Lightly breaded and full of flavor. It's so nice to have a dumpling place nearby! It has been almost 10 years since I had a good dumpling. So good that we returned later that week!! Small place, very cute, get there early because there tends to be a wait!“
“Ended lent with our favorite surf & turf restaurant in the county for dinner! Escargot, calamari, cioppino, lobster bisque, prime rib & lobster, Alaskan crab, and a big kobe beef burger were all excellent!Wheelchair accessibility: There were 4 wheelchair customers in the restaurant while we were dining! They all seemed to be enjoying themselves with plenty of aisle room to walk and move around...“
“Just discovered this hole in the wall! Every dish Delicious! NEW FAVORITE BEEF CHOW FUN!! salt and pepper spare ribs amazing! Mongolian beef is tasty and spicy, different and great. friendly and fast service and staff Love having a great local Chinese spot in the neighborhood“
“All I got to say is .I recommend this place to eat ?. I love the fish and chips. And the rest of the menu. You got to see for yourself. So go check this place out. you will not be disappointed. I guarantee you.Family and friends you'll love it. ??.“
“A wonderful unexpected find out in the boonies! White table cloth service was impeccable. The lunch sampler platter was spectacular & fed 3 of us gals with leftovers!!! The Victorian building is surrounded by a beautiful deck & garden worthy of a small wedding party! The husband & wife owners are so very sweet & considerate. This place topped off our road trip to the pumpkin patch!“
“Lunch, 12:30-2:00. Very polite service. Don't think of this as together with Mexican, come in for their lunch buffet to try a lot of new things. Also try the chicha morada drink, it's like a fruit punch.Kid-friendliness: Crayons and coloring, kids menus, the usual.“
“Very nice family owned fish and chip shop. It's a small chain take out and eat in restaurant. Very good fish n chips and some vegetarian chooses. I recommend it unless you don't like fried foods. Very fast service as well. Long live ye olde Tug Boat fish n chipper.“
“Quite solid for the area. Caesar split was more than enough. Two 8 oz filets with strong sides. Decent wines (I had the Faust). It's not Mastros but it's not priced like that either. Cool small desserts (key lime was the best) so you could try a few.“
“Hosted a birthday party in their banquet room for 14 guests and it was a fabulous experience! I highly recommend Piatti’s if you’re looking for delicious food, excellent service and wanting a private room for a celebration. Our family and friends loved everything about it and the planning process was such an easy experience. In fact, the banquet manager was super helpful and communicative since the day I called to book the reservation. Would absolutely go back for the fresh pasta, ambience and/or to host another celebration.“
“We’ve yet to come in and eat, but we definitely will!! Let me tell you this little hidden gem we order from is absolutely delicious!! Tomato soup is so good, vegetable pakora, samosas, curry, tikka masala, basmati rice is always cooked perfectly, anytime I call them they are always so nice. We must order from them at least a few times a month. I’m soooo picky and love that I found this place!! Thank you for the wonderful food ?. Always order so much food for just my husband and I.“
“For the price we paid, it was a great value. Service was also prompt, and they constantly checked in on us, to make sure we were satisfied. We did the AYCE option at lunch, and it was tremendous value. I was super hungry, and it was a great way to make my stomach happy. I enjoyed everything I tried and ordered, and really can't complain about the AYCE experience. At other places, it can be soured by waiting too long to be acknowledged by the staff, but food and drink was constantly being replenished. The food was solid. Because the staff kept coming back and back to our table, we had the privilege of eating the dishes as they immediately came out of the kitchen, adding to the experience. We didn't have to order a ton, and then some of the dishes sat on the table until we got to them. I really had a good time here and got my money's worth. If you're looking for a good value for the price you paid, I'd recommend this place. For that reason (value for money), it gets a 5, especially at the lower lunch time price point.“
“Was there with several of my girl friends today and had the most wonderful Chinese lunch! We had the egg drop soup, sesame chicken, sweet & sour pork, stir fried beef, pork pot stickers, bokchoy with 2kinds of mushrooms, walnut shrimp, fried rice, fried chowmein, stir fried white fish with veggies, and fried mini buns with red bean paste. Everything was very authentic Chinese food, meaning it wasn't "Americanized" in my opinion. The sweet & sour pork was not fluorescent red in color nor artificially sweet and the pork was crispy on the outside and tender in the inside and very tasty! Nothing seemed "heavy" with the thick layer of coating. All the vegetables were cooked right, not being almost raw, but just right. Plus the vegetables were very fresh! Highly recommend China House!“
“Good food and VERY good service! I must have gotten up 5-6 times asking for things and they never once lost their cool with me. If I had cash on me I would have left a tip!! I got the fried fish and shrimp combo and it was so good. I had to exchange the street corn for beans (which were good) because the corn was too spicy but they didn't get mad they just exchanged it. I upgraded to the sweet potato fries and they were good too. I will go back and get the shrimp again!!! I like their tartar sauce too, it's wasn't too sweet and not too much dill.“
“a little expensive judging by the price of the sashimi and the weight of the sashimi itself. everything is delicious. I especially recommend Lobstermania. a little noisy and full of people. The parking lot is full of cars during the day, but this is due to the businesses located in the same plaza. in the evening I think everything will be ok with parking.“
“Ate here for the first time I was extremely satisfied with the food and the service. Cecelia was very helpful and make sure we were very comfortable and our food was just right. The Birria was amazing as well as the chicken and asada enchilada plates we ordered. Definitely going to be a regular coming here!“
“Food was amazing! Mango salad was perfectly balanced. Bun Bo Hue broth, condiments and side veggies were delicious. The only thing I would say is that the meats need to be cooked longer so they can be more tender. The escargot was delicious as well but a bit chewy for me. My partner did enjoy the entire platter himself though. The razor clams were perfectly seasoned IMO, but it may have been a bit on the sweet side for my partner. Lastly, the service was pretty good. The owner came by to check on us quite often and made small talk. Overall, the experience was pretty awesome. Give it a try!“
“My family and I have been coming here for years. They are wonderful and the food and service are always the best! I don't live as close as I used to but travel from North Laguna to eat there now. You can ask my kids what they want, and they won't say Panda Express or anything else they will say "Happy Garden". I'll ask if they want the one in Elk Grove or Sacramento. They always say Sacramento. That's because no other place can beat it! My family will always enjoy Happy Garden Sacramento and will support their business as much as we can. See you next time! (I'll try to take better pictures to next trip as I wasn't thinking about posting them here initially, and these don't give you full credit)“
“Fantastic!! The food was fresh, served hot and so tasty. We shared between us the catfish, shrimp & sticky fried ribs. Everything was delicious. The yams literally melt in your mouth. My sister had the greens & she said they were seasoned perfectly. We both agreed the gravy on the rice was a little spicy but my bro 'n law loved it. This is now my go to spot in Sacramento.Parking: Not many spaces available for parking on the side streets.“
“We ate at their Eureka location. Busy Friday night, waited 40 minutes for a table. When this place gets busy, it's loud. They could use additional soft materials or sound absorbing panels. Once we were seated (party of 7) service was good. Ordered a number of platters, sashimi appetizers, hamachi collars, and extra pickled wasabi. Fish is always fresh and presentation appetizing.“
“This is hands down one of my favorite places to eat. I haven't eaten here in years and it was still amazing. My favorite is the chicken salad, that with some fried rice is a great quick dinner. I used to eat here once a week when I lived across the street. I'm glad to see that it's still around and just as good.“

“The food is great, the flavors are on point. The wait to be seated is reasonable and expected during the weekends; however the wait time after being seated is very long even when there are not that many people. I would suggest take out instead of dine in.Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu and the atmosphere is appropriate for children/families.“
“Very good oysters. Prolly best in the area. We also had calamari, garlic fries, frog legs, and chicken wings.If I were rating oysters only, I'd give 5 stars. The calamari was OK as was rest of cooked food. The menu does look pretty neat and I'd like to try other options too.Maybe next time I will try the hot pot. I bet it's pretty good.Service was fantastic. Place is clean and open. Not cozy or anything, but kinda generic. I wouldn't go for the ambience, but I go here every time I'm in the area because the oysters are so good.“
“I ordered take out. I ordered 2 pieces of fish with chips. The fish is so good. The pieces are big. I couldnt finish my second piece. The chips are just right...not too skinny not to large. Worth the 12$ for the amout of food you get cause it filled me up. It is definetly one of my favorite places to eat.“
“Update 2/23/2024I am a little disturbed as they added kiosk order(now forced), however there was an employee liaison assisting people who may have trouble.My outlook on kiosks:*People take this as "Do it yourself as we are either not staffed to do this or other things are more important than you".*I don't see this as service oriented.*Menu is fragmented on a screen and buttons all over which makes it tough to order for most.*McDonald's has kiosks, but nobody uses them.Example: 70+ lady walks up and tries to order. She has issues and has a ton of questions, this takes time. In the meantime you have a line backed up plus another user at the same time, with kiosk issues. Now what you have is a problem. Another one of your employees needs to be brought over to help now. Now everything is backed up.I know what the answer will be from your establishment. " We have backup, we will then take order manually"I get it, less employees brings more money to the budget, but in the long run it will not as service to customers is compromised and a reputation will prevail in the long run.I did kindly ask the manager why kiosks. She replied and we spoke. What dates out to me about that conversation is that her words were "People don't want to work for $20 per hour". Strange comment. Oh well. I have given up going there. Done with coaching.Let's get back to good ole excellent customer service. Bring that vision back. This is sorely needed.End of latest update-------------------------------------Great place, great service. Most "Most of the employees" are great.Bring the salsa bar back please.Fish is always consistent and fair prices. Gourmet food for less and a ton of options.Good job California Fish Grill!“
“Great fish and chips for no meat Fridays. Locally owned. Been around for a long time. Offers wine as well while waiting for your food. Good value for your money. Waitress can get refills for water, tarter sauce. And ketchup. Thanks.Parking: Lots of parking available.“
“We had a tribute dinner to toast my recently deceased father in the private room and it was perfect! We'd like to thank the staff who did such an amazing job for the kind of dinner we had. The food was fabulous, everyone - vegetarians, seafood lovers alike loved their meals. Some of our favorites- Calamari - "best we've ever had" Bread - "I could eat just this amazing bread for dinner" Crème Brûlée - our dads favorite dessert and it was sooo good - Meatballs - "Perfect" Thank you! Delicious and memorable!“
“I tried this place for the first time recently, and on the recommendation of a friend. The tacos are awesome and the salsa bar was very good. When I was there the music was loud inside, but I don't think that's normal, I think they were just enjoying it. We sat outside, which was pleasant and quieter.“
“Had a nice experience..Big portions even on the mini tacos..fresh chips and different salsa selections.Mild to really spicy making it easy to enjoy the spice level..clean ..lil gem in the area...place was warmed up by outdoor heater with plenty of ventilation has owner is getting the heater fixed.“
“We always end up dining here whenever the neighbor Chinese restaurant has a wedding event going on. Of course, for someone who was used to eating on the other one, you will definitely end up comparing dishes and how they cook and the flavors. At first, we didn't really like the dimsum here that much compared to the other one but I guess, our palates got used to eating here already. The dishes here were good though. We just prefer the dimsum on the other one. The service here was definitely way better than on the other one but the other one looks more clean since it was recently renovated.“
“Food truck with good food. I had fish ceviche and a carne asada Taco. Ceviche came in a cup with a couple of tostadas lime wedges and ketchup packets and crackers. Taco was a street taco and grilled onions and radishes on the side. I will be going back.“

“This place is SO good!!! The fish is fried to perfection, NOT overly salty, and this is exactly what I’ve been looking for in Sacramento!! I hate that it took me so long to find this place, but better late than never! I go get fish here about 2-3x a week now ❤️“
“The food here is delicious and the service is always excellent. The staff are pleasant and accommodating. The atmosphere is nothing extraordinary but I gave it 5 stars for?being clean (including the bathroom). The prices are fair and the food always come piping hot! I very highly recommend this establishment!!! Personally I love their shrimp tacos with beans & rice. Delicious and they give alot of shrimp in their tacos. ??Kid-friendliness: Definitely a place for the whole family.“
“This is best seafood truck on earth, I prefer to eat their seafood over other restaurants and trucks. I try to go once or twice a week since it's right next to work. And I have had seafood that taste like it frozen but this truck has that fresh out the water taste !!“
“Placed first order via delivery. I’d been craving a chicken & fish combo ever since moving from out of state. Received order in a timely manner, the foods was still hot & fresh. Chicken was tasty, fries were good & crispy and the fish was spot on! Will definitely be ordering again.“
“We came at night and the lady had so many people come in at once. She is so amazing I didn't get her name but she was an older Mexicanasy. She was so nice and got us out of there fast! Food was amazing as well . Definitely coming back again she runs that whole place for sure!“
“Get your Casa Tulum experience before everyone else finds out. There’s no keeping this a best-kept secret—not with its simmering green pozole that can cure any ailment, nor its cochinita pibil, which hits all the right spots. The mole enchiladas may be the best in Northern California; those who crave a taste of Mexico City and East LA will not be disappointed.“
“Got the molcajete to go tonight and my wife got an enchilada and a taco, they were absolutely fantastic! Loved the chard jalapeno and green onions ontop of the grilled meets. Spicy salsa was bomb also. All of it was super flavorful and delicious.Would suggest to make your own corn tortillas; if you do, could easily be one of the best local Mexican food spots“
“AMAZING FRESH SEAFOOD "MARISCOS" This by far is the best place for Latin seafood that we've been to. The seafood is super fresh bright and looks like it just came out the sea. Not very spicy but the have an excellent selection of hot sauces to spice it up. Very recommended place to come. The complimentary ceviche salsa was also 5 stars and fresh.“
“This was my first time visiting here. It was recommended by my daughter and her fiancé. Inside was clean. My mouth was watering looking at their salsa bar. I tried the chicken and asada tacos. Delicious! Some of the yummiest street tacos I have eaten. Rice and beans??? So good! I loved the grilled serranos too. Glad I tried this place out. They have a huge menu and can't wait to try something else next visit!“
“My coworkers and I were so excited that Mikuni opened down the street from our office! It's a great location for all those working near by. We came in during lunch on a weekday and were quickly seated, however the restaurant is much smaller than I expected so I can imagine the waits can get long. The service was fairly quick. Our meal was served within 15 minutes of ordering - which was great for our hour lunch! The tempera green beans were delish and our rolls were tasty too. I haven't been to mikuni in awhile, but I noticed that they revamped their menus and they're much nicer. They also clearly lay out their lunch specials and happy hour offerings. We can't wait to be back for happy hour really soon!“
“Super yummy and the place is so clean. I love that I can get the tea and poke. The crab salad was really good. Next time I'm going to ask for more sauce. I didn't really taste the ponzu and miso. Really quick and efficient. I will definitely be back. Love this place.“
“When I used to live down here in the Sac area, I used to have fish and chips all the time, but now I live way up in the north end of the valley and we don't have many places that are dedicated fish and chips restaurants. Tugboat is a small chain in the Sac area and has some of the best fish and chips around. The prices have gone up some since I last ate here. I got a 3 piece fish and chips order for around $15. Gone are the days of the $8.00 3 piece order! The fish was hot and crispy like I remembered .Not really greasy at all. I like to come get fish and chips when I visit the area now. I'll be beck!“
