9 Award-Winning Restaurants in Sacramento You Have to Try
"The cafe is great for family breakfasts, a quick bite before heading into work, or a hearty meal to cure a hangover from the night before. The cozy cafe has several American and Asian-influenced breakfast options, which diners can enjoy indoors or outside, weather permitting. People who visit the establishment often are always raving about the cafe’s loco moco, pancakes and waffles, the Hawaiian No. 1, and the breakfast fried rice, which can be made with your choice of meats and vegetables."
"Parkway's Sunrise Chinese Restaurant, located at 4689 MacK Road, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the affordable Chinese spot, which offers soups and more, 4.5 stars out of 220 reviews. Amber V. noted, "Food was ready fairly quickly and we were impressed with the portions. Their food wasn't super greasy, their sauces were nice and thick and the chunks of meat were decent."
"This is my favorite place to go when I'm craving Chinese food. They're always quick with the orders and the price is very affordable. Ever since my first time going there I haven't gone to another restaurant for Chinese food unless I absolutely need to. The owner is very nice and polite."
"The people behind Sunrise Chinese want you to celebrate the joy in Chinese food. They believe that food is one of the most enjoyable parts of life. They ensure that only the freshest of ingredients are used to create the tastiest of dishes."
"After sampling house-made noodles, you’ll wonder why people ever eat the prepackaged stuff. The beef noodle soup at Yang’s Noodles in South Sacramento will do just that: the broth is umami and unctuous with beef juices, while the kinked noodles are fat with egg flour that soaks it all up. Taiwanese and Sichuan favorites like green onion pancakes, dan dan mien and xiao long bao are also worth a try."
"For local noodle lovers, this coveted spot in Little Saigon is a frequent stop for its Shanghai soup dumplings, richly flavored beef noodle soup, and other dishes that reflect Taiwanese and Sichuan traditions. Be sure to ask if the spicy and succulent lamb roll is available on the secret menu."
"It had been a long time before I made it here and was very pleased with my first meal. On my second visit I was completely let down with my meal."
"Although a longtime Natomas resident, I somehow never got to try this out pre-pandemic (missed a foodie-meetup opportunity) where they pushed the carts a..."
"A post shared by Money Always Got It Coming (@magic_da_realest) on Oct 23, 2018 at 12:51pm PDT. Prepare yourselves for some tasty, colorful dishes here at Shanghai Garden!. The dishes are mostly Szechuan style, so they’re hot and range in spice level from mild to very spicy."
"Next up is South Land Park's Happy Corner Restaurant, situated at 4940 Freeport Blvd. With four stars out of 127 reviews on Yelp, the Chinese and traditional American spot, offering seafood and more, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for an affordable option. Yelper Floyd V. wrote, "We've been here three times, and every single dish we've ordered was excellent. Standouts include the hot and sour soup, yang chow fried rice, crispy skin chicken, Peking spare ribs and gai Lan (Chinese broccoli) with oyster sauce."
"This part of town, which has been revitalized every decade to no avail, certainly neededsomething different. And that difference is...sushi. Lou Valente used to be the face and name of Lou’s Sushi in Midtown, but he has moved on and taken his vegan spider roll with panko-crusted oyster mushrooms to old Del Paso Blvd."
"Southpaw Sushi, a sushi bar in Old North Sacramento, is another much-loved go-to, with five stars out of 96 Yelp reviews. Head over to 1616 Del Paso Blvd. to see for yourself."
"Make Fish Poke & Sushi Burrito, the original Midtown outpost of the Hawaiian-influenced local chain that offers poke and more, is another go-to, with four stars out of 780 Yelp reviews. The eatery's signature sushi burritos include options like the Triple Sashimi, with tuna, salmon, albacore, guacamole and spicy mayo, wrapped in seaweed and rice. Head over to 1801 L St., Suite 70 to see for yourself."
"Last year I attended a Dine Downtown media event and we got to sample all kinds of eats from Camden Spit & Larder’s London inspired menu. We feasted on leek soup with truffle cream, slider appetizers, Camden Scotch egg, breaded rock cod and spit roast chicken. This is definitely a more upscale place so it’s a great option to celebrate something special."
"Localis has an inspiring focus on hyper-seasonal food, filled with big flavors, and served in their welcoming atmosphere. This Midtown gem uses only ingredients at the height of expression, complemented by unique flavors and amazing proteins. This is the perfect destination for vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians and omnivores alike, with dishes such as lamb with polenta and Meyer lemon and fire-roasted octopus with sunchokes."
"The name says it all: Localis puts an emphasis on local ingredients, without being all braggadocious about it on the New American menu. Inside the low-key yet upscale space, dishes change with the seasons and come artistically plated with a pleasing balance of fat and acid. The mushroom carbonara wins the award for vegetarian dish most likely to trick you into thinking it’s made with meat."
"Situated in the heart of Midtown, Alaro Craft Brewery is focused on everything seasonal, local, sustainable, and craft — for both their Spanish-inspired food menu and beers brewed on site. Try their 2018 Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal winner, the Castillo IPA, or their rare Armada Brown Ale designed as a Southern English brown ale. No matter what you order, you’re sure to be impressed by the wide selection of beer and food at this neighborhood hotspot."
