    This was quite a disappointment, considering the history and accolades surrounding this restaurant. Although I made a reservation several weeks in advance, we were seated at the very last booth in the back, right next to the kitchen door. Nevertheless, we were excited to try the food. We hoped to start with the shrimp purses but Michelle, our server, told us they didn't have them. Not that they were out of them, but that they simply don't serve them. Not sure why they can't just remove that from the menu? Had the pot stickers instead ... meh. The seasonal mushrooms and mustard greens was quite tasty. However, the mustard greens were cooked and served as large, full leaves with fairly robust ribs, making this dish difficult to enjoy. The seafood pot also was disappointing as the seafood was overcooked. Our last dish (my standard for evaluating Chinese cuisine) was the Ma Po Tofu. The tofu was not silken and it was overwhelmed by the very heavy sauce. On a positive note ... we left with plenty of room for dessert at Gunther's!!

    Great food. Most of the waiting staff pretty poor apart from Alison. Experience on the whole pretty average. If you just want to to eat good food and go in 45 mins this is your place. Also don’t order the flank steak. Tough as old boots. However, the manager listened to our concerns and responded well. I just wanted a better experience to be honest. Nobody actually enjoys complaining when they have booked to eat in an apparently ‘world famous restaurant’

    The staff was prompt and attentive, the food was excellent, and the parking garage next door was convenient. We will be back soon.

    Freak fats is a Sacramento treasure. Every aspect of our meal was exquisite. We had the honey walnut prawns, the Szechuan noodles and garlic, green beans… And of course, banana cream pie. soooooo goood! The service was excellent, and the restaurant manager even stopped by our table to check in on our experience. Go to Frank farts, you won’t regret it!

    This is the second time we've eaten here. We went to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The food was delicious and we love the atmosphere. We had some cocktails and they were perfect.
