    As classic and perfect as ever. Our booth in the rear of the restaurant was a quiet oasis, the many shared dishes we ordered were delicious - served hot and together, with excellent descriptions offered by our server. For years we have enjoyed the famed banana cream pie, but a friend recently recommended the chocolate cream pie and that was divine! We were celebrating two birthdays following a Thanksgiving weekend, and we left feeling sated and ready to start the holiday season. A reliable gem of a restaurant!

    Surprised how busy Fat's was on a Saturday night! We had a reservation and were seated promptly. The food is always good, and we purposely tried new to us items. Plus, the best Pot Stickers in town.

    Getting a discount in parking was a nice perk. We were greeted and seated promptly with our reservation. The serving staff was very attentive and pleasant. The seafood dish was a touch light in seafood; several of the clam shells we opened had no meat inside. We loved the green beans and brandy chicken..

    We asked for my daughter’s food to come out first. It came out last, and about 10 minutes after the rest of the plates. The server was dismissive when I brought this up. When the plate finally came out, it was not made the way we ordered it. We sent it back. My daughter got full on white and brown rice by the time the plate was out, and boxed her food to take home.

    I went there for a dinner as it is called Chinese restaurant and is recommended by Michelin. It is truly Chinese-American food though. If you want an authenticated Chinese food, it is not the place for you. However, if you want to experience various Chinese flavored food but don't care about so-called authenticated Chinese food, it is not bad. The quality of meals are good. The service is excellent. Of course, the price is not cheap. Overall I think it is good. Jut have an expectation for what you are looking for.

    The restaurant itself is a Sacramento landmark and absolutely worth trying at least once. The food didn’t quite meet my expectations but the portions were fair and for the most part tasted good. The yu kwok appetizer was highlighted as one of their special dishes, but I’m not sure what made it special or unique. It came out hot and fresh but filling was a bland mixture of ground beef…no real spice or flavor to it. The honey walnut shrimp and fried rice were tasty, but no better than my neighborhood Chinese food restaurant. The banana cream pie was absolutely amazing…seriously, this pie is as good as it gets. Overall the meal was okay but the value missed the mark. I’ll be back for a slice of banana cream pie.

    Sad to say it was mediocre. Not the Frank Fat’s we remember. Won’t be back. Multiple dishes all the food was tepid. We done think it sat because it a wasn’t that busy. Egg rolls were hot, but very greasy. Fried rice lacked flavor.

    As always, the best Chinese food and service in Sacramento. We had a 7 course meal and banana cream pie for dessert. Everything was delicious, especially the Yu Kwok appetizer, Frank’s NY Steak and the honey walnut prawns. I’ve been coming here with my family since I was in elementary school , nearly 60 years. I can’t remember a bad meal.
