We have our usual items that we order here almost every other week. Our faves: Hand sheared chicken with jellyfish: it's like a cold chicken salad with jellyfish and the sauce that comes with it is flavorful. Shrimp with mixed veggies: an abundance of shrimp over a bed of mixed veggies tossed in a light garlic sauce. Honey garlic pork chops: tender thin slices of pork chops fried and then cooked in a honey garlic sauce. Braised tofu with black mushrooms: the combinations of bok choy, mushrooms and tofu. Delicious. Crab meat with fish maw soup: light soup and reminds me of wedding banquets. Green beans with minced pork. Beef chow fun (dry style) Service: To go orders have a very long wait time. The front staff are working as quickly as they can and they work hard. Minus one star because the order is never ready when they say by. I always end up waiting at least 10-30 mins longer. Even when I come after the time they say it's ready by.

We opted for takeout order this CNY. As expected the place was packed! There were only two servers and both were working very hard attending to patrons dining in as well as to-go orders. Both servers maintained a pleasant disposition while hustling and bustling. When I called in to place my order, I was quoted a 45 minute estimate. When I got there, I was told that my order was not even closed to being ready. In a different circumstance, I would have been disappointed. But knowing that it was the lunar holiday... it wasn't surprising. It didn't take too long (about another 15 minutes) when my order was finally ready. This little unassuming restaurant has an extensive lunch and dinner menus of authentic dishes with some dimsum options available as well. We've tried a variety of dishes and have not been disappointed at all.

Came here for an early Chinese New Year's dinner. I haven't been to CF Cheng in years. The restaurant was relatively small with limited tables. By the time I walked in there was a line of people waiting to get their takeout order with most of the tables occupied. Luckily I was able to get a table. We ordered 6 different dishes. The salt and pepper shrimp were nice and hot, the walnut shrimp was not overly sweet, the tomato beef was okay the tomatoes were much better than the beef, the spareribs with black bean sauce was excellent, the steamed pork with squid needed a little bit more pepper, and the glass noodles with gourd was surprisingly tasty. Definitely coming back.

Decided to try CF Cheng and get takeout, so we called ahead and were told it would be a 30 minute wait. When picking up the food, the workers were attentive and quick to help. Items ordered: - Beef chow fun with black bean sauce: They asked if we had wanted dry and gravy, so we ended up going with their recommendation of gravy and the gravy came in a separate bowl on the side. I personally think there was already enough sauce without the added gravy which was very thick. The noodles without the gravy still tasted great but might have been a little overcooked since the noodles kept falling apart when I tried picking them up. Came with a good amount of bell peppers, beef, and onions in the dish too. - Sauteed green beans with minced pork: A classic dish that came with A LOT of green beans which was great. Can never go wrong with green beans! - Honey walnut shrimp: When opening the box we were initially disappointed with the number of shrimps that we were given, but each shrimp came with a lot of dressing so I was only able to eat a couple shrimps. Flavor was great, dressing was a little bit on the dense side. - BBQ pork egg foo young: We did not know what to expect with this dish, but it ended up coming out to be like a fried omelette with vegetables, onions, and BBQ pork inside. I felt like there was barely any BBQ pork inside it, but the flavor was still good. Pretty large menu and a decent spot. Would not mind dining in next time!

I've been meaning to come back here again and finally had the chance while I was running errands. I called in an order and was given a thirty minute estimate. I ran my errands and stopped in to pick up dinner and head home. I love that they have a dim sum menu that is available all day. We ended up ordering sui mai, har gow, steamed pork buns, potstickers, steamed dumplings, general's chicken and wor wonton soup. A LOT of food. When I arrived they were really and I wasn't sure where to go to pay and pick up. They have two large tables with lazy susans as well as a bunch of two tops and four tops, but they are organized really close to the checkout desk. I followed the lead of the person in front of me and went between two tables to the counter, but it turns out I should have gone toward the right of the table instead. After a little confusion, I ended up paying after another couple and had a little more of a wait before my food was done. The staff was friendly and working hard to clear tables, bring out food and take care of to-go orders. As I was driving home I received a call and it turned out they forgot my har gow. No problem, I turned around and was back within about five minutes. They knew who I was when I arrived and ended up throwing in an order of sesame balls since I had to drive back. I got everything home and was most interested in the wor wonton soup. I like that they pack the broth and toppings separately so they don't get soggy and the portion is easily two meals on it's own. The dim sum is good, but not the best we've had. Considering the price and that it's available all day though, it's a good option. The generals chicken was tasty and I liked that it had a little kick to it.

I have no idea why it took me so long before I tried CF Cheng at Natomas. Many of my friends recommended CF Cheng. I have many times planned to have dinner or lunch there. But for some reason, my dinner plans at CF Cheng were changed at the last minute the last few times! But I finally tried them out yesterday. I'm glad I did. They're better than I expected. A solid five-star rating! CF Cheng's dining room is a little dated but immaculate and well-lit. The tables and chairs are comfortable. The ladies who work in the dining room are also friendly and attentive. They are handling the customers and many to-go orders very well and quickly. I ordered a Hand Sheared Chicken, Sweet and sour Ribs, and an XO Sauce Fried Rice. All three items are excellent, and the portion is generous. The Sweet & Sour Ribs (they use pork chops) are very tender and delicious. It is one of the best I have had in Sacramento. The parking lot is not very busy on the weekends. I can park my car very quickly and close to the restaurant. No homeless I can see in the area. The area is safe and clean. I'm sure I'll come back again soon.

I was on my way back to Red Bluff from my work assignment in the Bay Area and stopped in Sacramento here to meet up with a friend that wanted to invite me to dinner with some friends. "CF Cheng", wow, I'm surprised they haven't gotten sued by you know who, for too similar name of a Chinese restaurant. All the big chains will usually sue for name infringement or something like that. Well, the food here is way better than it's famous namesake that caters to western American tastes .... including cheesecake for dessert. The food here at CF Cheng's is more "authentic" catering to the tastes of Chinese people who don't want Orange Chicken or egg rolls or those crab free Rangoon things. My friend who is Chinese did all the ordering ahead of time for our table. We all sat at a big round table that had one of those glass spinning thingys in the center of the table to serve and share all the food on. I sort of thought this was gonna be a bigger restaurant inside, but I guess as long as the food is good! We had a soup that I didn't recognize, but was a very tasty veggie type soup. Then we had a braised pork belly in a brown sauce, a steamed pork patty, clams with black bean sauce, snow pea shoots with a garlic sauce and finally what looked like General Chicken .... but was way better than any General Chicken I ever had. All the food, even the sort of weird dishes, all tasted very good, even that weird pork patty that had dried salted fish in it, I was told. Everybody else seemed to enjoy the food as well. Don't know if I'd come back here on my own, but if others that knew what to order had a dinner, I'd go!

Dim Sum... Let's Gao! It was our first time here... been wanting to try for sometime. We finally made it here for lunch one afternoon. Our server was nice and immediately sat us on a table. We ordered Dim Sum and we were aware that there would be some wait time. It's okay, we got time. We ordered the following: * Steamed BBQ Pork Buns - this was hubby's favorite * Siu Mei (pork) Dim Sum - yummy juicy pork and prawn filling. Tender, juicy and delicious! This is a dim-sum must have. * Steamed Pork Dumplings - came with 5 pieces of Xiao Long Baos. The filling is meaty and juicy. * Har Gow Dim Sum - love those bright pink chunks of fresh shrimp. The translucent wrapper is delicate and chewy. The dining room is small but food is good... at least the dim sum that we ordered were. Review #3148

This review is for Family Dinners A & B. Family Dinners are a minimum of 2 persons; substitutions are an additional $1 charge. Family Dinner A ($15.95/person) For 2: Wonton Soup, Egg Rolls, Cream Cheese Wontons, Broccoli Beef, Teriyaki Chicken, Chicken Chow Mein, or BBQ Fried Rice For 3, add Sweet & Sour Pork For 4, add Cashew Nut Chicken For 5, add Mu Shu Pork Family Dinner B ($16.95/person) For 2: Hot & Sour Soup, Pot Stickers, Deep Fried Shrimp, Kung Pao Chicken, Peking Steak FiIlet, Shrimp Chow Mein, or Shrimp Fried Rice For 3, add Lemon Chicken For 4, add Szechuan Beef For 5, add Shrimp with Lobster Sauce In general, the chow mein is definitely better than their fried rice. Note that the Teriyaki Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken come with zucchini (if you're picky). For only one dollar difference per person, after trying both (for 2), I would get Dinner B again. The Kung Pao chicken was spicy (both the red chilis and jalapenos) in a good way. The Peking Steak Filet was onion-heavy but had sweet and tender meat underneath it all. I'm most curious to try their mushu pork a la carte next visit. Portions were good, no need for any extra sides of rice. Fortune cookies with the bill of course. Open until 9 PM Tuesday through Sunday. Dine-in service is pretty good. Lots of to-go orders for pickup as well I've noticed in the evening.
