This place used to be one of the most stellar places in the area for quality, delicious food. But since 2018/19 the prices have gone through the roof and the quality has plummeted. I'm so heartbroken but occasionally I still check to see if they've improved. It's only gotten worse and now on my last two visits they were unexpectedly closed without any indication until you saw the empty parking lot. I hope the owners are doing well, because this feels like behind the scenes chaos from even before the pandemic. I will not give up on this place, just plan on distancing myself. I just hope one day they can get things back where they used to be.

Update as of 2/7/22: they are very shortstaffed (probably due to COVID) and are not serving handmade noodles. However, they are open for dine in! They were take out only for the longest time when the pandemic first hit.I ordered the Xiao long bao, beef noodle soup, and braised pork over rice. THE BRAISED PORK OVER RICE IS SO DELICIOUS. I got 2 little bok choy halves on the dish as well as a boiled brown egg. The flavor was just amazing and I wolfed it down.The beef noodle soup was also pretty good, but not the best that I've had. There is a very mild kick to it but it is not spicy (I can't handle spice and I was able to eat it no problem.) I do think the soup lacked some extra spice?The Xiao long bao was not very good in my opinion. The soup itself inside the dumplings was a little bland and I think the dumplings lacked onions or chives or something to add to the flavor. The vinegar was also very mild with no ginger added.I was seated immediately and service was very fast. The toilets are not open to public FYI. The indoor decorations are very nonassuming and modest. Prices are a little high for what is actually on the dish, but to be honest there are not that many Taiwanese places around here and they might have needed to raise their prices to stay open. Support small businesses everyone! Yang's has been around for a while and it would be sad to see them go.4 stars for braised pork and beef noodle soup and excellent, rapid service.

Been coming here for a long time and this is NOT Dan Dan Noodles. The noodles I got today was not good. The noodles tasted like plain watery ramen noodles and the meat sauce doesn't even cover the noodles. Sad that the noodles are not how it used to be. Not sure if it's still the same owner or not, but today was very disappointing. Will not be coming back.

We have been coming here for a long time...tonight is the most disappointing. Will not go back to support until they fix their noodle issue. The below is supposed to be Dan Dan noodles...instead they used rice noodles.

Best on Stockton Bl. and that's saying a lot!! Nothing fancy, just great service, prices, and food!

Went here for 1st time for takeout today when passing through Sac. Restaurant is about as plain as you can get but it looked clean. Disappointingly, they didn't have beef rolls, pancakes, or hand made noodles today. Apparently they blamed it on staff shortages. We ordered pot stickers (probably from a frozen premade bag but not bad), shrimp chow mein, beef chow mein, yang zhou fried rice, and sour cabbage with pork. Everything tasted fine but nothing special.

Seems like they switched owners 6mo ago (read recent reviews) and kept the name because it had 4+ stars. Restaurant is now a shadow of its past and the chef tried to keep the original menu items but they dont do handcut noodles or the beef roll anymore. If you view the menu its just another generic chinese restaurant using someone elses name. Menu is different and no longer has the pictures which confirms it. If you want taiwanese, go somewhere else

We ordered veg dumplings and what came in the box was a mix of chicken and veggie dumplings. After taking the food back the lady at the reception (who takes the orders too) says yes there can be a mix as all dumplings look the same. I mean do you not keep vegetarian and meat separate? Is there ANY hygiene/allergy even considered? Could you be any more rude? This wasn't my first order here and yes definitely the last. Never going back!! Nor recommend any one else to go!

It was ok. Saw the Yelp reviews and wanted some good noods on a rainy day. I would go back again, but not my favorite place since I moved to sac

I would not recommend going here. Quality: 3 Value: 1 Service: 2 Ambience: 1 It's sad to think that this maybe used to be much better, given the older reviews and the 2014 and 2017 plaques/awards/stickers here. We paid $15 each for two disappointing noodle dishes. The noodles themselves were good, but the broth on both was one note. Each came with two small pieces of bok choy in the bowl, nothing else. During COVID, they don't offer most of their popular sides, and they don't hand make the noodles. The restaurant was really cold inside, with almost no lights on, and a TV in the corner blasting out daytime TV super loudly. The bathroom was disgusting, it clearly hasn't been cleaned in a long time. It isn't hard to find affordable and delicious noodle dishes in South Sac. Even if you just grab something to go, why wouldn't you go somewhere less expensive?
The food was ok but the ambiance was pretty awful. The restaurant was freezing, one of those bad TV court shows (think: Judge Judy) was blasting on the TV, and the place was dark. I had the beef soup. The noodles were great (they specifically have a sign on the door that says noodles are NOT hand made, but the noodles were delicious with a good chew nonetheless). But the beef was super fatty. The restaurant itself, especially the bathroom, was not particularly clean. The server was nice, but the restaurant wasn't particularly inviting. The prices were reasonable (~$13 per dish) but if I'm going to pay $30 for a two-person lunch, I expect the actual restaurant to be a little nicer.

Ordered takeout and service was friendly and prompt. The famous beef roll wasn't available, but now I have an excuse to go back! Definitely will keep this place in the rotation!

We ordered the beef noodle soup and XLB. Both were delicious! The soup had a nice hearty flavor with the right amount of spice. And it was not too oily or fatty. The XLB came in individual aluminum containers which made them very easy to eat. The tables were clean and the service was friendly and fast. Also, there is a sign at the front showing what dishes they are out of. I appreciate them communicating this upfront. I enjoyed the food and experience. I will be coming back soon!

I had high hopes for this place, Based on the yelp reviews. We ordered in early December, as takeout, in the setting of Covid of course. We ordered five dishes including Dan Dan noodles, Korean soup noodle, shrimp chow Mein, Ma po tofu, Beef noodle soup, and pork cabbage potstickers. The Mapua tofu was to ordered because they were out of the sour cabbage dish. Also did not have the beef tendon dish as well. We arrive back home with the take out to realize that the beef noodle soup was not there. The Dan Dan noodles had an excessive amount of Sichuan chili oil, even for me who loves Szechuan food and can take a very spicy meal. The potstickers are really good. The Korean soup noodle was okay. Mapua tofu was alright. Overall, this was a satisfactory or somewhat negative experience overall, given our higher expectations. My girlfriend had a somewhat more negative review overall.

Gung Hay Fat Choy! Story time, in late 2014, I read an article about Yang's Noodles in the Sacramento Bee & have wanted to try it ever since. For one reason or another, I'd forget, get distracted by some new farm to fork spot, etc. etc. In honor of Lunar New Year, I made the trek to Little Saigon to try their hand pulled noodles. It was a great experience & I would definitely visit again. Everything arrived hot, the food was flavorful & there's no question regarding authenticity. The service was good too. We tried the Beef Noodle Soup & Sichuan Boiled Fish. We'd definitely visit again.
