Top Asian Restaurant in Sacramento
Asian Pearl Restaurant
6821 Stockton Blvd #165, Sacramento, CA 95823, United States
DO NOT BOOK ASIAN PEARL FOR AN EVENT by any means necessary. Terrible customer service, all amenities are broken, and Asian Pearl will not do anything about it.Sadly, the recent birthday party we booked at this establishment was the WORST service we could have possibly received which ruined the party and soured the memories of what was supposed to be a beautiful celebration. Note that about 10 years ago we held a similar celebration that went fine, so we thought returning here in 2022 would work well again - but we could not have been more wrong. This place completely declined in quality and NO ONE should ever book an event here again.We paid the full price they asked of us for our 110 people party, which was supposed to include food, all of their amenities and staff for the event space of the back half of the resturant which is separated by a removable wall. We booked a DJ, planned to show video, and planned out the layout of the back half of the resturant for our event.The amenities we planned to use were ALL BROKEN. Digital screen - broken. Projector - broken. Speakers - all but one broken which was still malfunctioning. Stacks of chairs that we did not need were left in the room on set up day which did not make for a nice looking event.The WORST part of all of this is that we booked our event being told that we were the only party planned for that date. However, come to our surprise on the day of, we discovered that we were DOUBLE BOOKED and that there was an entire party happening on the other side of their removable wall. At first, this did not seem like a problem as we were setting up, but it ended up being the most crucial component to ruining our event that we had paid Asian Pearl several thousand dollars for.Because we were double booked, we had members of the other party walking into our party to use the only restroom available in the venue. That was more of an annoyance than a total event killer, but still unprofessional nonetheless.Because we were double booked, we had half of staff service. We had multiple requests from the servers that were never fulfilled - simple things like serving beverages or delivering food were either never met or took multiple times asking.The other party they double booked WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE was so loud and rowdy that we could not hear anything in our own party. We could not hear any of our speeches, music, or videos through the venues already half broken speaker system. When we asked the manangers to tell the other party to turn their music and microphone down, nothing was done. After asking for a third time, I had to physically stand in the doorway between the parties and watch the manager go up to their equipment to turn it down. Even then, the rowdy party would turn their music back up which drowned out our event. I kept asking the staff to turn it down so frequently that they began avoiding me and walking away from me when I was heading their direction.We could not even enjoy our own event. Our guests were shocked and completely distracted by the neighboring party and lack of service from the staff. It was so chaotic that it completely ruined what was supposed to be an extremely sentimental celebration for our family. The main recollection that all of our guests had is that the party next door was so loud and rowdy that we could not focus and enjoy our own, and Asian Pearl never told us about the other event nor did anything to help manage itWe recently returned to complain about all of these shortcomings and the owner only offered a $200 refund. Thats all. One of the biggest moments of our family members life that we spent years imagining, months planning, and thousands of dollars on - completely ruined.

Ph Saigon Restaurant
5304 Stockton Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95820, United States
This was embarrassingly bad. I wont order from here ever again. It has the worst honey walnut shrimp I have ever seen from any Asian restaurant and its 17 dollars for the plate. Everything just looked unappetizing after we received out order.

The Mandarin Restaurant
4321 Arden Wy, Sacramento, CA 95864, United States
The problem with having so many choices for Chinese/Asian dining is that when you get used to a place, you have to dine around if that places closes or changes too much. I had mistaken this place for another restaurant and was very pleased to have made the error.The food was excellent! The staff was very friendly and the ambience of the restaurant was inviting and buzzing with energy. We will certainly be making a stop to dine in next time!
Phaya Thai Restaurant
4310 Marconi Ave, Sacramento, CA 95821, United States
I’ve been coming here off and on to this Thai restaurant and it’s mediocre at best. The Pad Thai is bland sadly every time I’ve ordered it for takeout and I’ve only dined in here once years ago with my white adopted mother and we never came back and dined in here again became the food wasn’t memorable. Here and there I’d call and order takeout and never had any issues of my food taking long like others have stated in their review. This place has been around for a long time and I’ve ordered their Tom Yum noodle soup which is decent but again the food isn’t amazing or anything special. When you order the soups to go, the portion size is way to small for the price you pay. The service though has always been kind and courteous and the last few times I’ve been there, the nice older asian man is always working there and he always smiles and is very attentive and kind. I’d give the service an A+ but every-time I’ve gotten takeout there, it’s never busy and this place is completely empty. It makes me wonder how these guys are able to stay in business, but miraculously they get enough customers! Overall the service is friendly but the food is not greets and mediocre at best. Don’t order the Pad Thai, it’s horrible and one of the worse Pad Thai’s I’ve eaten and It’s really not good here. I’d say avoid this restaurant and keep looking. It’s not worth it here. Avoid!!!
Shanghai Garden Restaurant
800 Alhambra Blvd #4436, Sacramento, CA 95816, United States
Ive heard about this place a time or two before, so I decided to check it out for lunch. I should have followed my first mind and went to Safeway for a deli sandwhich. Lets start with the parking, or lack there of! The parking situation was horrible. There is a very small shared lot that can be easily filled by Shanghai Garden customers alone. I had to circle the block three times to find a park near by. The restaurant itself was pleasant. I didnt take any pictures of the inside, because there was nothing photo worthy nor was there anything that stood out for me.The people were pleasant and greeted my upon entering. I noticed there was a special of the day and decided to try it. The special was crispy fried salt and peper chicken over steamed rice. I placed my order and waited patiently for my food. The order was filled quickly, and I was on my way back to the office.Upon further inspection of the food, I found it to be bland. I eat chinese food a lot, and this food tasted like it needed some seasoning. How does chinese food need seasoning? The breaded chicken was greasy and had no taste; not even salt. The vegetables were steamed appropriately, but they too lacked seasoning or taste. Overall, the meal tasted just like the white rice, BLAND! I tried to drown it in soy sauce, but hypertension is not something I want to play with, so I ended up eating only half of the meal.
Ph King 2 Restaurant
6830 Stockton Blvd #180, Sacramento, CA 95823, United States
I was in the mood for a hot bowl of Pho and fortunately this craving overtook me while I was driving north on Stockton Blvd near Florin, a location surrounded by numerous restaurants offering this famous Vietnamese dish.Pho King is a small easy to miss restaurant just a stones throw away from its more famous rival, Pho Saigon. Years ago I visited this restaurant and it always stuck in my memory how good the food and service was. Tonight was no different.I was a little surprised to see how empty the place was right around dinner time but it was a weekday and customer count isnt always a good indicator of quality. The waitress immediately greeted me with a friendly smile and motioned for me to sit wherever I wanted. I knew what I wanted and ordered a small bowl of #6. The soup arrived piping hot and the plate of bean sprouts, jalapeno pepper and basil looked fresh and crisp.I immediately dropped the veges into the steaming broth and mixed them around with the noodles hiding underneath. It was now time to dig in. I grabbed my chopsticks and pulled out a giant clump of noodles. Yum! Sometimes restaurants make the Pho broth way too salty and I always am prepared to ask for a hot cup of water to dilute it. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that wasnt necessary this time. The savory broth had just the right amount of salt. The meat was tender and the tendon had just the right soft and slightly chewy texture.Pho King IMO maintains its rank as being one of the best places to eat Pho in Sacramento.
Hoicin Cantonese Restaurant
9555 Folsom Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95827, United States
My daughter really likes this place and picked it for a little family get together. Its easy to get to ( located on Folsom close to Bradshaw ) with plenty of off street parking.Its rare these days that restaurants serve family style. They do, in a big way. Each item you order ale cart, is enough food for several people. The dishes just kept coming each one more grand than the one before. With a huge lazy Susan on the table covered with platters of food beautifully presented and easy for everyone to serve them selves.Their place is very clean with beautifully appointed chairs covered in a light gold brocade, which I thought was tastefully done.I enjoyed myself and my food very much. With Asian Instrumental music playing softly in the background, it was most relaxing.All things considered, I give them 5 stars.
Ph Bolsa Restaurant
5815 Stockton Blvd #A, Sacramento, CA 95824, United States
I went there back in the day and had a great meal. When I went to pay (this was probably 20 years ago) they didnt take ATM and I didnt have money. The older lady who Ive always guessed was the owner told me with a smile on her face not to worry and pay next time. I came back with my wife and paid for our dinner and the lunch I had before. Since then Ive taken countless people, family and friends there. Its always been good and Ill never forget the kindness of that lady the first time I went there. My mother was always a big fan of the crispy pan fried noodles with seafood combination. Its hard for me to go back to this restaurant since my mother has died. Maybe Im afraid the older lady has passed too. Anyway I will always be a fan of Pho Bolsa.
