Yue Huang Restaurant

We ordered seafood with tofu and broccoli with oyster sauce. The seafood with tofu tasted good, but it had very little seafood and mostly fried tofu. The broccoli was simply steamed with a little oyster sauce on top, yet it was $18.99. Not really worth the price. Also keep in mind, they charge $2 per person for tea. The ambience was nice, and they have dim sum, but I thought everything was pretty pricey. Overall, I don’t think the dishes were worth the price. You can find similar food elsewhere for less and bigger portions.

Beautiful restaurant with very good food. I can't tell you how much bad Chinese food there is in Sac, but this place has the right flavor. The hot and sour soup was pretty good. The chicken chow mein was flavorful, not greasy at all. The string beans, eggplant and pork dish was so good over perfectly steamed jasmine rice. Dim sum had ended at 3pm, but I got lucky as they were still able to give me pineapple buns with salted egg yolk, which were so good that my daughter ate two of them. The jasmine tea was perfect, not grassy as some can be and didn't become bitter too quickly. Service was very friendly, but they left us sitting for a long time without checking on us or offering our check, so I finally had to get up and flag someone down. It was not busy at all, so this baffled me. In any case, we will definitely return to try lots of other things, esp dim sum. I don't see anywhere online or in the actual restaurant that dim sum ends at 3pm, so I am sharing this info in case you are going there specifically for dim sum, as we were. Luckily for us the other food was great, so I did not have to leave disappointed!

If you are looking for a refined Cantonese dining experience that can comfortably accommodate large groups, Yue Huang Restaurant is a solid choice. While the price point sits a bit higher than your average local dim sum spot, the quality of the food often justifies the premium. Culinary Highlights The menu offers a fantastic variety of traditional favorites executed with care. Two standout items that are absolute must-orders include: Shrimp Rice Rolls: These were delicate and fresh, with the rice noodle reaching that perfect balance of being soft yet slightly resilient. The shrimp inside was plump and flavorful, complemented well by the savory soy dressing. Taro Dumplings (Wu Gok): These were a highlight of the meal. The exterior was beautifully fried into a light, "lacy" honeycomb texture that shattered perfectly upon the first bite, giving way to a rich and creamy taro filling.We also sampled various other dim sum staples, including steamed buns and fried delicacies, which all maintained a high standard of freshness. The presentation of the dishes on the traditional rotating lazy Susan makes it exceptionally easy for everyone at the table to sample a bit of everything, which is e

We visited for lunch on Saturday afternoon around 1:15pm. The restaurant was busy and we waited around 10 minutes before being seated. We marked the order sheet and the food was quickly served. The vibe was authentic dim sum place with bustling atmosphere and efficient servers. - meat dumplings: it had good chewy mochi like texture. The meat filling was good but I wish it had more fillings. - baked bbq pork bun: the filling was delicious! The bready part of the bun was very thin but very soft. - Portugese egg tart: good! It has crunchy shell & creamy custard and not too sweet! - golden pumpkin with salted egg: very crispy & salted egg was prominent. The pumpkin slices were thin. However, personally, the flavor combination was a bit odd - not my favorite. - steamed rice roll with chinese donut: good. The rice roll layer was very thin (see through). The chinese donut was crispy.

Went twice in one weekend once for dinner and came back for lunch because dim sum ends at 3 pm. Classic, upscale Chinese atmosphere inside with live fish tanks along the wall. Dinner Peking duck (half order) and Yue Huang chow fun Delicious especially the Peking duck! Crispy skin, juicy meat and served with buns. Not crowded at all at early dinner time and prompt service. Lunch: Shrimp dumplings, siu mai, chicken feet with black bean sauce, baked bbq buns, shrimp congee roll, honey walnut shrimp, egg tarts, sesame balls. And hot tea Incredible, this is definitely the time to come. Very busy but still got in quickly and food came out fast. Staff had great recommendations. All food was delicious, we especially loved the congee rolls, egg tarts, and bbq baked buns. We’ve tried the dim sum places out in Roseville and this spot felt more authentic. Lived up to the Michelin hype!
