It was a busy night but they made room for us at the bar. Food was very delicious. People were so friendly. The owner introduced himself to us and since we were from Louisiana and it was our first time there, he treated us to a slice of his famous banana cream pie. We had the stew and flank steak. The stew meat was so tender and the flavor of the marinated flank steak was delicious.
I had the short ribs in curry sauce, and I must say that it was one of the best tasting Chinese dishes I've ever had. The meat was so tender and the flavor was phenomenal! My friend had the burgundy fried chicken. It wasn't quite as impressive, but it was still good. I loved the atmosphere. We didn't have reservations, but we were early enough to where they could get us a table. Our spring rolls appetizer came right away, but the main courses took a while. Overall, excellent.
First opened since 1939, Frank Fat’s is the oldest restaurant to be owned exclusively by one family. I’ve met them and they are lovely. It is the only place where I will eat Chinese food because of consistency, quality ingredients, delicious and authentic dishes. There is not one dish in their menu that I haven’t tried and love. My go to is the chili 🌶️ beef chow fun and honey walnut prawns 🍤 and for their amazing 🍹 adult beverages!! Make sure you make room for dessert for their famous banana cream pie. I absolutely love this place 🫶🏼
Frank Fat’s is a quaint cultural experience. The service is exceptional and personal. The people are cheerful, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuine.
The people and decor make this a special place to visit. The food was delicious and lovely presented. There is a nice selection of teas. We enjoyed the Jasmine. We had War Wonton soup with a light broth, and a chicken vegetable dish. We so enjoyed our visit. Will return with more photos.
The restaurant is beautiful and has a great service. We selected the lunch specials during the beginning of Oct 2023. I loved the rice with chili oil, it was the best for me after the pork. I asked for sauces because I always need something spicy, and they were great too, specially their homemade oil chili sauce. My coworkers unfortunately didn’t know how to pick Chinese food and ordered something that was Ok. Chicken salad and Kung Pao chicken. They didn’t listened to my recommendations and did not liked their food. I will return again.
I love this place. The service is top notch and the food even better, consistent and delicious. I have been coming here for over 30 years. If you live in town and have not been to Frank Fats you are missing a great meal.

We just landed and stumbled upon this place. Everything was freshly made and flavorful. This is an excellent start to our vacation and 20 minutes from the airport.
Our last day in the valley, we had the pleasure of having dinner at Frank Fat's, a Sacramento staple! Great food, atmosphere and outstanding service! Well worth the trip!
such a classic!! had a fab long lunch here. the food and service were amazing. and the bana cream pie...yum, just like my grandma's
Food and service was great. The banana cream pie was delicious. Would have liked a combination type plate instead of having to order separate dishes. Portions were generous for each dish ordered. Chicken dish we ordered was overcooked. Temperature was very cool inside restaurant. Almost too chilly for me. Take a light sweater or jacket with you. Servers and bus boys were very polite.
