Reviews for Frank Fat's in Sacramento, CA
A great dinner in Sacramento! We are visiting for a wedding and decided to get dinner here. We had their 83rd anniversary menu... and what a delight! The fried rice knocked it out of the park and the steak with onions was so flavorful. Save room for thebanana cream pie — I’m glad I did! Read more
8/2022: Great service at the bar but not the cleanest bar on a Wednesday night. The bars brass bar needs some TLC. Came in for... one a small bite/appetizer, Yu Kwok, and had to order more. Delicious! In 2019 Fat’s received Michelin’s Bib Gourmand in CA.The honey walnut prawns were up next and I was taken to flavor town. But wait! You can’t leave without trying the banana creampie. It is yummy. Fat Cat’s vs. Chef Volas, in Atlantic City, Banana Cream Pie would be one hell of a battle. Chef Volas forthe win though. Enjoy & Cheers! Read more
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 andmore. I came here with two items in mind, the Brandy Fried Chicken and the Banana ???? cream ???? Pie ????. My wife ordered theEntree Emigrant Beef, which was very good. We also shared a wonderful appetizer ku kwok ,(beef & pork Dumpling) wrapped in awonton wrapper and fried.???? We were not disappointed, great service, great table service, hell I haven't had that good ofservice in this town in a long time. Thank you Heather, our server was great, and all the other staff that makes you feelwelcome to the restaurant. Read more
Love the iconic 1939 Sacramento venue! Super vibe! I highly recommend the Honey Walnut Prawns. Save room for banana cream pie!
Frank Fat’s is a historic Chinese cuisine restaurant; just down the street from the State Capitol building. In business for... over 80 years! The food is amazing and really is an experience to be had. I ordered the Honey Glazed BBQ pork (my favorite intown) along with some vegetables. They have an excellent bar/ alcohol selection as well. P.S. Must try the banana creampie Anthonyxibarrax Read more
I tried downtown restaurant week menu. It was the first time to visit here. I got mai tai fat which is a little sweet rum based... drinks. It is so great. All of their staff are super nice and well trained. Server is knowledgeable and kind. Their plates arewarm, so you can enjoy your hot food for a while. For appetizers we got spring rolls and pot stickers. Pot stickers looks likeordinary but when you bite, you can feel juicy and tender. For Entrees we got honey walnut prawns, saigon crispy chicken, garlicgreen beans, cauliflower with beef and shrimp fried rice. My favorite is honey walnut prawns. It’s enough shrimp for 2 peopleand it goes well with their toasted walnut. Saigon crispy chicken was a little salty but when you have it with the veggies orrice, it’s good. Garlic green beans are perfectly cooked. It’s not too soggy. Cauliflower with beef use tender soft beefwhich goes well with crunchy vegetables. Last dessert was banana cream pie. I love their pastry part of this! They used rawbanana that are not sugared. It feels pretty fresh and different. Willing to visit again as a group since they have enough spacefor people too.

There's some valet parking right next door for a cheaper validated fee ($7). Inside the seating is mostly booths so you'll... probably get good privacy if you want. So the food was pretty good but it does feel not very authentic Asian though I thinkthey aren't supposed to be fully authentic Chinese dishes or anything. The service was excellent though. Our server Luis wasreal friendly and attentive. Food came out quick, table was cleared out efficiently, food was explained, etc. I'd come back hereto explore their other signature items. Have fun!
