Review Frank Fat's Restaurant - Sacramento

Diane Hawkins
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.

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.

Always wanted to go here prior to attending an event at the Golden One center. Glad I finally did as everything was awesome. I go the honey walnut shrimp, she got the Mongolian beef, aling with fried rice. Absolutely delicious. Rice was perfect with amazing flavor. Will absolutely positively go back!!!

The service was amazing and so fast! Our server gave us incredible recommendations, and the food was simply delicious. I never thought I would enjoy a banana cream pie, but this one was just incredible with fresh bananas and the most delightful cream on top. I 120% recommend coming here for a lovely atmosphere, great service, and delicious food!

This has been a great experience. I'm embarrassed to say that I have never been to Frank Fat's. Because I have spent most my life in Sacramento. I have dined 🍽 at other Fat Family Restaurants. Tonight's dinner was everything I was hoping for and more. I came here with two items in mind, the Brandy Fried Chicken and the Banana 🍌 cream 😋 Pie 🥧. My wife ordered the Entree Emigrant Beef, which was very good. We also shared a wonderful appetizer ku kwok ,(beef & pork Dumpling) wrapped in a wonton wrapper and fried.😎 We were not disappointed, great service, great table service, hell I haven't had that good of service in this town in a long time. Thank you Heather, our server was great, and all the other staff that makes you feel welcome to the restaurant.

I'd advise making a reservation ahead of time because this place is rightfully busy whenever I've been here. The decor is very elegant and the artwork up on the walls is pretty interesting to stare at while you wait for a table if you happened to walk in. The food (and cocktails) are, of course, excellent. I haven't tasted something here I didn't like, and it's really an exercise of willpower not to overeat. Personal favorites include the bacon-wrapped scallops, the curry lamb, and the Szechuan eggplant. The service is top-notch, and dishes were served pretty much perfectly on time so we didn't have to wait between appetizers and entrees. The staff are really nice and extremely helpful when it comes to suggesting dishes or convincing you to make room for dessert somehow. I can't recommend these guys enough. A solid experience, and worth the wait to reserve the table and brave city traffic (they validate parking!)

Chinese food...with an uncommon twist. Service was fast and friendly, not just at meal order taking, but with the same attention on entry, on leaving, and through out the meal. Atmosphere was TRENDY for such a historical place. The food was tasty, and MUST HAVE Banana Cream Pie!! All at a very affordable price. Valet parking right next door, even with arena events $10.
