Hoicin Cantonese - Sacramento

Best Chinese food in Sacramento. Hands down. Been going there for decades. If you looking for a combination plate, this is the spot. Great food and huge portions.

Delicious food. I got there Mongolian beef special with chicken chow mein and a egg roll and OMG the beef was very tender and flavorful the chicken chow mein was also very tasty. Nice crispy egg roll I will definitely be coming back.

I am from Chicago and had a craving for Pork Dim Sum. It was excellent and Rachelle was very friendly. I highly recommend this place.

For starters, I tried the Peking Pork Chops. They had a bit of a sweet and sour flavor, leaning more towards savory than sour, which I appreciated. The meat was very tender and juicy, though a lot of the pork pieces seemed to be attached to the bone. Next was the Beef Chow Mein, with an additional dollar for the Hong Kong-style pan-fried noodles. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was quite similar to bird's nest noodles, which I have had before. The noodles were crispy and softened when soaked in the accompanying sauce. The dish mainly featured classic takeout beef and bok choy, with a few long slices of carrot. My girlfriend wasn't impressed with it, while I thought it was okay; however, I would probably choose regular chow mein at this location next time. As for the pork shu-mei, I can't say how it compares to others, but I thought it tasted pretty good overall. It had a yellow dough wrapper and a soft, spongy meatball-like texture. It was juicy and savory with a hint of black pepper flavor. I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure I would order it again at that price. There wasn't any sauce served with it, so I’m not sure if that's typical. In total, our meal came to about $34 after tax.

Finding delicious Chinese food can be challenging, but this restaurant seems promising. The entire shopping center had a nice atmosphere, which added to the experience. I'd like to visit again to see if the quality remains consistent, and I'll definitely order a different dish next time. The meals were quite generous, and the soup was excellent!
