    This is a Sacramento well established favorite. Food is always excellent, service tops. It is a bit noisy. Reservations recommended as it is popular. Had not been back in a while and it has not lost a bit of its edge.

    Outstanding. Service was professional, courteous, and helpful. My group had the anniversary special, enjoyed every dish but the honey walnut shrimp and banana cream pie were our favorites. Definitely plan to come back next time I'm in Sacramento.

    Everything was good including the service however, she brought us Mongolian beef instead of the Szechuan been we ordered. Didn’t want to wait, so we just kept the Mongolian beef, which was just ok, it was bland.

    HAVE AGAIN: Saigon crispy chicken and baby bok choy in garlic sauce were both good, but not great. Banana cream pie was also good but great as I remembered from 20 years ago. Very good service. NOT HAVE AGAIN: Hong Kong Sum-see chow mein was really bland. Skip this.

    The food was excellent- our server was great. The only thing that really bothered me was the fact that I asked for a table in the front portion of the restaurant near the bar area. We were sat at a back corner table & I literally faced the corner wall the entire time. I asked the host about the front tables when she sat us there & she said they were all reserved. When we left, (shocker) there were only 2 of the many tables seated. It was unfortunate & disappointing since we were visiting from out of town. There were at least 4 or 5 tables open out of the 6 or 7 that are there.

    The food was absolutely delicious. Four of us ordered the Anniversary Special. All of the dishes were plentiful, well prepared, and good. We were seated in a booth in the rear of the restaurant, therefore, it was quiet. In other parts of the restaurant, it was very 'lively'.

    Loved it and will return, I had been going to Fats Bistro in Folsom and the last 2 times the food was mediocre at best. Something has changed there. I will now only go to the downtown location. Trust me it is fantastic.

    Frank Fats is ALWAYS great. Have been going there for years, and it never disappoints. Ken, the manager, is wonderful, as is Michelle, a server. So glad they brought back the Anniversary Special. We moved to San Diego 9 years ago, and come back to Sacramento often. Always go to Frank Fats when in Sac. Their honey walnut prawns are the best I have ever had. I cannot find good ones in San Diego. Thank you Frank Fats!!

    I moved out of the area and I have not been to Frank Fats for 20 years but it is absolutely the best ever and can't wait to go back and tell everyone who hasn't been there to try it out. I do have to say I was a little taken back by people coming in with cut off shorts and flip flops. That's not the place I remember but hey that's on them not on the restaurant!

    Delicious food - Chinese with a twist! The building is deep and narrow, so most of the seating is pretty private. The back room is very private booths along both walls, but it is closest to the kitchen, so noisy.
