My friend introduced my family to this restaurant, and we’ve been hooked ever since! They serve authentic and delicious Chinese food with rich flavors and traditional touches. My kids absolutely love the crispy flounder, and the Cantonese-style ‘old fire soup’ is incredibly flavorful. Their desserts are also a treat! The service is excellent—waiters and waitresses are friendly, attentive, and quick. A fantastic spot for an authentic Chinese dining experience!

A must go restaurant in Sacramento! I’ve been coming here since I was small and the food is always delicious. The people are also wonderful. It has great lunch specials, but I love dinner here too. I recommend the Beef and Tofu for a mild and delicious dish. The juuk (congee) is perfect for anyone with a cold too, so I recommend that highly (my favorite is with dried scallop).

My church just had a Valentine party at this place and it was AWESOME! The food was good and the service was great. The owner went out their way to serve us. They do have private room to host the party up to 70 people. The place supposed to close at 9:30PM but we extended until 10:30PM and they were willing to wait for us. Overall, the workers there are friendly and the service was great. Highly recommended to those who want to host a party. I will come back for sure.

I had to visit this restaurant. It used to be my favorite back from 1986 to 1988 when I attended the local city college. It doubled in size, still has the old school image from 35plus years ago.
The menu contained all my favorites from way back then. The flavors are identical to what my taste buds told me.
You must visit if in south Sacramento area looking for a decent Chinese food

Honest review.
This place had good reviews.
But has pros and cons(my personal view).
Pros
Great lunch special prices!($12)
Large portions
Rice, soup plus chow mein
Clean location
Nice ac
Good service
Cons
The soup was good
The kung Pao chicken was a bit bland for my taste.
The chow mein was a bit dry probably from rewarming it. Not a fan.
Overall it was good since the price counters the cons substantially.
They have other plates that may be better.
Will update when visiting again.

Family style chinese food is the best way to enjoy Chinese food. This could feed five or six people plus dessert. Everything tasted really good. I always come here when I visit family. The fried chicken is amazing, always a plus.

Far East is the type of restaurant that is a family go-to for generations. It’s been mine for 40+ years. Tonight I went in as a party of five – 4 adults & 1 very messy, very cute one year old (who is demanding to eat on his own & we are soooo sorry for the mess he made ) Everything about the restaurant, including the staff, is authentic, nothing fancy, always just right. We ordered: 2 appetizers & 4 dishes to share. The bill, including tip, was right around $100. Our waiter was great. I didn’t get his name, but he was friendly & efficient. He brought the kiddo his own small ice water and toddler sectioned type plate which I don’t think I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant. It just felt special. We didn’t wait long after we ordered before the food arrived. As always, it was hot, the portions were generous & there were no complaints.
A Few Recommended Dishes:
*Ginger Beef
*Steamed Pork w/Salted Fish (Hom Yee Yook)
*Chicken Broccoli
*Tofu w/Bok Choy and/or BBQ Pork

The food is great here this is the second time I’ve ordered over the phone. I just have one problem I ordered Mongolian beef and they did not give me Mongolian beef they gave me beef with, red and green peppers. And I know this isn’t Mongolian beef because Mongolian beef is made with 3 types of onions, one being green onions. And that’s what I got the first time when I ordered here.

Came and had dinner with friends. We had a ten course meal and everything was delicious with good size portions. It was family style which means entrees are shared among the guests. My favorites are the fried fish flounder, steamed egg with class, steamed Chinese chicken, and salt and pepper pork ribs. We had the fish maw soup which was nice and hot and delicious. Great place to come for a family dinner. Please come and support family owned businesses. You will see the owner Susan around at times and she is always greeting her guests and checking in on how you like the food.
