CF Cheng Chinese Cuisine

My father and our family have been loyal to this restaurant for years. Their warm service and delicious food takes the spot. One waitress in particular, Queenie, always goes above and beyond! We look forward to coming here for future visits!

Good food and service. Only limit is dining area. At high peak time is quite packed. Reasonable price. Recommended.Food is still good. Tuesday night, they are very busy with many togos, long wait. Not a good option for dine-in when it‘s busy.Pan-fried noodles, shrimp dumplings dimsum, black pepper beef, chicken with salty fish fried rice are good. Recommend these dishes.

We’ve frequented CF Cheng over the span of more than 12 years, and as someone of Hong Kong cultural heritage, this place is all about cozy comfort food. If you’re not used to Cantonese style food, some of these 2 star reviews might be confusing, so keep reading.1) This food is flavorful, and it’s fresh. The notion that this food is bland is borderline crazy and might be a case of Covid taste loss. Even the most simple dish we had (garlic pea shoots) was delicious and full of garlicky goodness.2) the wait time for the dishes is real. The waiting time is a trade off for the freshness and wok hei. You can hear them cooking the dishes in the wok in the back. If this is a concern, start by ordering some soup and appetizer style dishes.3) You can get dishes here that are hard to find elsewhere like the hand shredded chicken and the clay pot rice dishes (read the captions for tips). These are traditional Cantonese dishes that you likely won’t find at the bigger banquet style restaurants. They are great! Sometimes people expect food to be exactly like when you’ve had it in its place of origin, and I don’t know if that’s reasonable. With that said, this restaurant is in the top 3 Cantonese restaurants in all of Sactown.It’s worth repeating. CF Cheng is a staple for Chinese (Cantonese) Food in Sac. I’ve got no financial interest, nor am I related to anyone who owns this gem. If you’re looking to expand your palate for authentic Chinese food, support this Mom & Pop local business. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. This review mainly focuses on their dinner menu; it’s been a while since I’ve had the dim sum here.

A gem of a restaurant. This is an independent Chinese restaurant located in the Natomas area.Small by most standards, but it is a popular restaurant with locals and business people. I watched as there was a steady stream of take out orders. They have two menus, one that emphasizes hong king style cooking and recipes and a standard Americanized menu. Hong Kong style Chinese is a fusion of usually, British, Cantonese and other south east asian cooking styles.Be advised that the dishes are huge, and also before you know it 5-6 dishes can be almost 100.00 in cost.We ordered hot and sour soup, crab cheese rangoons, Chinese mustard greens with black mushrooms and spare ribs with bittermelon cooked in black bean sauce. Just water to wash down the food. It was like 110 degrees outside. Sheesh.First the hot and sour soup was perfect with lots of tofu and pork. The soup was tangy and thick, the way we like it cooked. The crab rangoons, were filled with crab with a hint of melted cheese. They went well with the sweet and sour dipping sauce.The pork ribs with bittermelon were cooked in wok fry with black bean sauce and garlic. The pork ribs were moist and the meat fell off the bone. My only complaint was that the ribs were cut too small. The Chinese mustard greens and black mushrooms were cooked in a saute style with soy sauce and oyster sauce base. The mustard greens were crunchy to the bite, but retained the flavor of the sauce. The black mushrooms were huge and meaty. When cooked in this manner, in my opinion they taste just like meat. Delicious!In our opinion this is a great Chinese restaurant that rivals Chinese restaurants in Oakland and San Francisco Chinatowns in the day.Give it a try.

This is a cozy little Chinese restaurant that has incredible food. Best Orange chicken, Beef fried rice, and Wonton Soup. It’s a great location for casual dining. Prices are reasonable. Staff is attentive and efficient. My husband and I highly recommend. Looking forward to coming back.

Best Chinese food ever! I've had Chinese at dozens of places over the years and no other place comes close. Absolutely delicious food, perfect service, amazing value!

I have heard about CF Cheng Chinese Cuisine for many years. But for some reason, I don’t have a chance to try them until about a month ago for the first time. I keep coming back after that! The food is delicious with excellent service.The first two times I ordered the same dish - the hand sheared chicken with jellyfish. It was so good! I have to order it two times in a row. But I didn’t get it today because I want to try more dishes.I ordered the salty fish chicken fried rice, hometown vermicelli noodles, and gailan (Chinese broccoli) with beef. All three dishes are delicious. I like the salty fish chicken fried rice the best. I ate too much again! The two ladies working in the dining room are very attentive and friendly. I enjoy my yummy food and thoughtful service as always in CF Cheng Chinese Cuisine.The dining room is a little dated. But comfortable and clean. The parking lot is safe and it is easy to get a parking space near the restaurant. I know I’ll come back again soon!

They were busy when we went. They have family style dinners for 2 to 4 people. We did one for 2 people. It was delicious and there was plenty of food. The filet steak dish was the best. The beef was so tender and tasty. Check them out!
