Started a new job in downtown and have heard Frank Fat's being mentioned around my new office. I decided to go for my lunch break and it was conveniently a short walk from my building. I walked in and was immediately in awe of the decor and aest
We came in here for lunch afternoon.
The place was filled with people for lunch. Service was good. We order the Yu kwok, beef chow fun and the immigrants beef. The Yu kwok didn't have much flavor and the ground beef inside was dry. The Chow fun looked good but lacked flavor and was
I went there for my birthday.

An institution in Sacramento, and finally went to try this place out. Compared to other Chinese places, I was hoping for a bit more. The portions were smaller compared to other places, even with their family style claim. For the price they were charg
We always have amazing meals at Frank Fat's.
We have dined with large groups, tables for four, and just the two of us and service has been consistently excellent. The entrees are delicious and the Banana Cream pie is spectacular!

Service by Carmen and the support staff was excellent.
We felt welcomed and well attended to during our first dining experience. The Honey Walnut Prawns...best thing we had. So delicious and not something we'd typically order. The NY steak was another top contender. The famous Banana Cream Pie was
Looking for a great Chinese , this is it.
The cocktails were ok, but the food was so impressive. The immigrants beef was a favorite. The server recommended rare and it didn't disappoint. We also had their amazing pork fried rice , I'd do that over and over. We also had the king pa
Frank Fat's is a one of a kind experience.
Opened in 1939 it has a retro cool, effortlessly hip vibe. The food is equally impressive. We typically don't expect a fine dining experience at Chinese restaurants, but we found everything we ordered perfectly prepared, beautifully executed and
Went here to celebrate my mom's birthday with the family.
Neat going to such an iconic restaurant. Loved seeing all the old memorabilia on the walls. Food was delicious! Obviously we got several plates and ate family style. Spring rolls, Fried rice, honey walnut prawns, garlic chili green beans, and vegeta
Love coming here when visiting Sacramento. Best Chinese food we have ever had.
Every time we come to visit family in Sacramento we always want to go here as there is no Chinese food like it. It is so good with lots of flavor. Nothing we have ever had comes even close to this. We were a party of 5, had reservations and were gree

Alert! Frank Fats has lunch specials!! Not sure when they put this on their menu but it's perfect for those who do not want to order family style. We had the Chinese Chicken Salad and Chicken Chow Mein. The salad was a good size and had freshly
Service is 4 stars.
Ambiance is 4 stars. Food is just 3 stars. Not for asian people who grew up eating chinese food. I assume non asians would still enjoy this. Hong Kong noodle was bland.. not salted.. mapo tofu was sweet, no sechuan flavor. The banana pie was pro
Really tasty Chinese food.
Their prices are ordinarily pretty high but they have some excellent lunch specials which are really affordable. Totally recommend the chicken chow mein, and the chili crisp oil. Very flavorful and filling! The honey walnut prawns were also very tas
Service and ambiance was great! Food was served quickly.
Drinks were pretty watered down, but when my friend mentioned that her mai tai tasted like juice they promptly gave her a shot of dark rum. I think they forgot to add it! Food wise, it was ok. Walnut prawns were a bit on the dry side, not enough sa
Amazing.
Hands down. Large portions! Good good decor and the owner came so sweet :') drinks strong as well. Just a good place!
Quality food and great service.

Our yearly meeting at Frank fats was worth the wait! Never disappoints. The steak , walnut prawns , sweet & sour pork . We ended the night with a banana cream pie slice. 10-10
larger dining group means you try more dishes
If you've never visited Sacramento before, Frank Fat's is a Sacramento institution. If you want the story, the history, Google it. I would compare Frank Fat's to a PF Chang grade restaurant, in terms of dining room quality, service le

Loved the walnut shrimp. Loved the dark, speakeasy feel. Friendly folks. You should go find Frank.

Classic, vintage and beautiful restaurant! I felt like I was walking into a Mad Men episode! The food was superior. And the service was very professional.
Our server, Sherry, was on top of it.
She knew which menu items could be made GF - which was almost 1/2 the menu. Everything was so tasty and fresh. It has been so long since I've had Chinese food that I didn't have to make myself. When we're back in Sac we'll be back.

The food was good but not great, I was a little bit disappointed. It is a downtown institution of Sac but the food also seemed dated. There was information about Frank and his friends and his ability to get things done around tow. Fantastic perso! As

Food and Service was amazing as soon as we opened the door. Emily was our server, she was so attentive and sweet. We ordered Moscow Mules, appetizer Salted Pepper Calamari and it came with a variety of dipping sauces. Loved that! Entrees: Honey Walnu

This is probably the best Asian food in Sacramento, a classic location with a heart filled past. Recommend them highly and don't let dark outside scare you because the inside is bright, vibrant and gorgeous.

Overall Rating 9/10 Duck: 8.
5/10 skin was sooo crispy but duck meat kinda dry Singapore noodles: 7.5/10 great but lacking some flavor. The soy sauce and black bean chili oil is a must! Sweet and sour pork: 8/10 it hit the spot!! Service WAS AMAZING
Best Chinese restaurant we have ever eaten in.
This is an excellent restaurant. It received a Michelin star in 2019 and I hear is a James Beard award winner. We had a big family dinner. We were seated quickly. We let one person order for the table as they had been there before and all 7 of us wer

This is an old style Chinese restaurant in downtown Sacramento. The setting is nice and the restaurant is large. The menu is extensive and varied, and the food is first rate. My Mai Tai was quite good too. One tip: Make sure to leave room for a sli

I happened to be in the neighborhood and so I stopped in for a drink. Dylan was working the bar, and he was friendly and great to talk to. What a great bartender.
We ordered the orange chicken and it was delicious.
We also had friend rice and that was also great. Our waiter was great but toward the end of the night he kind of disappeared but maybe because they were getting off but still. I made reservations and we got the big booth and I really enjoyed that (no

Awesome, unexpected, great service, super attentive, clean, cozy, sassy, and delish food!
Fats is amazing!! A great historical eatery of Sacramento.
The atmosphere is very intimate and the restaurant gives off an old time feel. To start off with their signature drinks ( mojito's and mules) are fantastic and well made. I have tried a few of their appetizers' and haven't been disappointed yet. Safe

I have been to a lot of restaurants in Sacramento- big, small, fancy, causal. All are about the same; same menus, same ingredients, same waitstaff, and same ambiance. When I was taken here a couple years ago, I was taken aback. The waitstaff was incr
Connect with users posting reservations for Frank Fat's Sacramento
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Frank Fat's Sacramento. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Frank Fat's Sacramento at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Frank Fat's Sacramento page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Frank Fat's Sacramento to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Frank Fat's Sacramento!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
