Best Sichuan food I’ve had in Sacramento! And the portion sizes are super generous as well so you never feel stiffed.
The Sichuan boiled fish was delicious and the fish fillet was tender and numerous. The green beans are some of the best I’ve had, with amazing flavor and crunchy despite being out of season. Genuinely green beans are the hardest veggie to stir fry so if they got that down, everything else should be locked down too.
The new owners definitely fixed all the issues with the previous

Great value for the price! Try their Sichuan Grilled Fish for multiple parties and ask for high heat with their stir-fry vegetables. They also bring out complimentary salted peanuts.
Wonderful Chinese restaurant with an expansive menu. As the name suggests, the food here is filled with spice, but it’s mostly the use of peppers in the dish, so it’s not too spicy.
Their ingredients are all fresh and taste that way, with high heat stir fry dishes that are imbued with flavor.

Came back again…
Still great. Affordable and great food.
First of all, this place is new ownership as of like Feb 2025. Place is now clean, plenty of nice seating, and the food is very good. First I came at lunch and it had very good portion. Not just some heavy soy sauced fake Chinese food. I came again for dinner with my family and we were all pleasantly surprised. Came back again and bought some dumplings to go. It’s no longer the old management with those health issues.

We ordered for dishes. Each one was excellent. The cook is incredible! Service was excellent. Nice jazz music was playing in the background. If you want authentic Chinese food and your into spicy, you gotta check this place out.

Food was amazing! We initially had plan to go to Pho Momma but the wait was over an hour. So glad we found this spot, seemed like it was a grand opening or recently reopened. We ordered the beef burrito to share, definitely recommend for the table. For mains we got Mapo Tofu and Beef Chow fun, both awesome. Beef was tender, noodles were fresh. Service was a bit slow but very attentive.

Comfortable seating and excellent food. I ordered the black bean sauce chicken lunch special, which was very affordable and came with soup and an egg roll. They even included complimentary dessert peanuts, which was a nice touch.
Coming from L.A., I have high expectations when it comes to Chinese food, and this place delivered. They offer a great variety of traditional Sichuan dishes as well as Americanized favorites — and they execute both styles very well.
They’re also under new ownership, so I’d recommend disregarding any reviews from before February.

The Chinese/Cantonese dishes at Hoicin Cantonese Restaurant are excellent. I was there for lunch today. Every single dish we ordered was delicious. The workers and owner were very friendly and super attentive. The dining room is starting to show its age, but it is clean and comfortable. I enjoyed my lunch very much.

Now it’s Spicey Temptations. % recommended. The portion of the plates served is easily shareable between two people and possibly even a child. If you order from the lunch special menu it’s not a shareable portion but yes from the regular menu. When you see the plate served you will know what I mean. Second time giving this place a try and I will keep going to it. To top things off we were surprised with a mini dessert plate. (free of charge, as a thank you) Love the presence of the plates very elegant. Great service and do care about the feedback.

We did not know a new restaurant had opened here a month earlier. We decided to give it a try. Glad we did.
Traditional Chinese cuisine that is delicious.
Most dishes are spicy though the waiter indicated that spicy can be altered for you.
I did not think of photos until dessert arrived.
We both recommend this location if looking for quiet dining experience with good food.
