Sunrise Chinese Restaurant

My boyfriend and I’s favorite Chinese joint had recently closed down, so we’ve been on the hunt for a new favorite spot… and we have definitely found it! It’s so hard to find a REAL authentic Chinese spot, and this is definitely the place to go if that’s what you’re looking for!

Really good and quick service. I’ve only been here once but it was a treat. I’m bummed that a moved away but if I’m in the area I will definitely stop by.

This is THE SPOT on Mack Rd. They are in the hood, but it’s worth it to go and give them a try. The sesame chicken is bomb, and so are the cheese wontons. Always served hot and fresh! No little options. Their Dinner Combo plate is YUGE!

Been coming here about two years now. They know me and my family by name. Very kind lady :) awesome food! I get orange chicken and chow mien. If you do order orange chicken. Just nicely ask for light sauce. Sometimes it can be a bit over whelming. But love this place!

First impression of this place was pretty bad. It’s a small joint in a strip mall and there’s not much décor on the walls or anything. It’s very sparse and uh, intimate I guess. There’s a display of pictures of food on the counter which looks fast-​foody and I guess you order from the takeout menu even if you’re sitting inside. Definitely ghetto.
But. This place has 4 ½ stars for a reason. I had to try it. And yeah I can see why.
We just got some appetizers (chicken egg roll, cream cheese wontons, potstickers) and wor wonton soup. It was all good. And geez the portions. Enough to feed a party of 4 – 6 per plate. They gave us 8 wontons and 6 potstickers, and the bowl of soup had about 6 cups in it with like, I dunno, 10 wontons or so? Yes lots of numbers. Anyway. Here’s more. The wontons were definitely the star of the show, those were 4.5÷5. Nice and crispy and cheesy. Wonton soup was nothing special but still good, ⁴⁄₅. Lots of meat and wontons were nice and soft. The potstickers were on the greasy side. They weren’t too great but still worth trying, the filling was good at least. 3.5÷5. And the chicken egg roll was um, well I don’t like egg rolls too much anyway. Tasted plain. ³⁄₅.
The waiter/​owner? is very friendly with the customers and there are a lot of regulars here it looks like. She’s got a rapport with them and makes everyone feel welcome which says a lot for a little rinky dink Chinese joint in a (former) Raley’s strip mall. I’d definitely go back but let’s be honest I rarely hit up the same place twice. Too many restaurants to try, too little time.

I live in north sacramento and I have to drive all the way to mack road to get the greatest food ever!!! Jenny is awesome!!!

First off everybody knows how hard it is to find a good Chinese place to eat. Been looking at this place for awhile and finally stopped in. Glad I did too! Best place I’ve been to in a long time! I got chicken chow mien, broccoli beef, orange chicken, and honey walnut shrimp. Dropped a little over $ 50 bucks but it fed me and my kids and a ton of left overs.
Chow mien-​perfect. Lots of chicken
Broccoli beef– perfect. Lots of beef
Orange chicken– good flavor I’m not a big fan tho
Honey walnut shrimp– lots of big shrimp. Not all breading like other places. Great fresh flavor.
Must check this place out. Great service too. Well worth the price!

The food here was bland and ordinary. I didn’t appreciate that everything that was deep fried tasted like it was fried in oil from last year. Definitely subpar food for Chinese food.

Top 10 Best Chinese Food in Sacramento!
Came here for the first time and Jenny, the owner recommended their popular items on their menu. I had the General Chicken, Salt & Pepper Ribs, Honey Walnut Shrimp, & Fried Cream Cheese Wontons! They were all delicious! Nice & crispy. My most favorite is the General Chicken, flavor was just right, sweet and a hint of spice.
They have picture menus! I’m a visual person
Will definitely come back to try out the other items on the menu. I got my eye on the Hot Oil Wonton next!

This place has the best general chicken and orange chicken. Also, the fried rice and chow mien is delicious! We would definitely recommend this place to friends/​family. Andrew & J.V.

I got to say that this is the best chinese food I’ve had. Their chow mein is to die for and so are the ribs. My cousins introduced me to this place and ever since then I’ve loved it. Plus, I love how close it is. It’s about 5 minutes away from where I live.
P. S. customer service is awesome. Jenny and her husband are great.

The food is a five star for sure. The friendly staff a big five stars. Jenny is so awesome! !! Why didn’t I give it 5 stars then. Well the pictures of the food have tape all over them an the pics are super old. You know when you get a burger an it looks no where near as good as the pic. This place is the opposite. And the while dinning room is just a little run down. But worth every bite. Try the general chicken. It’s amazing! !!

I ended up deciding to come out to dinner here with my son since it was his aunty’s birthday dinner tonight. The waitress who I believed was the woman I talked to on the phone earlier today pleasantly greeted us and brought us drinks. Our family was already eating so we pretty much were able to sit down and eat. I got to taste the sesame chicken, the crispy beef and we ordered the salt and pepper fish. Everything we eat was hot and delicious.
Later this evening I received a message from the restaurant apologizing for being hung up on earlier. It was confirmed that that the woman waiting on us was the woman I spoke with. In the restaurant was a very sweet and attentive waitress. That along with that fact that she realized her mistake and was ok to apologize for her actions was good customer service.
The restaurant has redeemed their self and I would come again.
Support small family owned businesses.

So my son’s aunt chose this restaurant to eat at tonight and since I’m a big Unilocaler I decided to look this place up to see what they had to offer. The reviews were all over the place, patrons either like it or they don’t, but from what I read I wouldn’t really go out of my way to go there. The deciding factor would be one I would have to call the restaurant about and that’s what I did!
«Do YOU USE MSG?»
Really? I just call to ask if they use MSG and after she gives me the «yes» and a small description she hangs up on me! Rude!!!
But let me tell you what she said:
Most of the food they cook has MSG, the soup she said they don’t but all meat is marinated and they do use MSG in the meat they marinade.
So whether you are allergic or just trying to limit your intake this may not be the place to you.
AND, if their wait-​staff is as rude as the lady who just hung up on me and you are a stickler for excellent customer service, this may not be the place for you.
Based on the rudeness (and the MSG) factor I have decided to pass on dinner this evening.

Jenny is amazing and her husband the chef equally amazes with his mad skills in the kitchen! Jenny will always address you by your name and even remeber your order. The food is a screaming good deal and is the best chinese food in Sacramento by my standards. It is fresh, hot and legit. This is a great place for take out or a quick lunch. The owners have invested in the quality of the food they serve– not decorations. It presents as a humble establishment that packs a punch that will have you coming back for more time after time!

My boyfriend and I stopped by after seeing all the great Unilocal reviews. Man, were we disappointed. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken and orange chicken lunch specials, but ended up leaving more than half our plates at the table.
The orange chicken was almost inedible. It would have been better off being called soy sauce chicken. So salty, so greasy, and barely tasted of orange. The orange flavor just tasted really artificial and whatever amount that was in it was seriously overshadowed by the immense amount of soy sauce. The sweet and sour chicken was okay, but a bit too sweet and thick in my opinion. All of the food just seemed oversauced and really greasy and heavy. My stomach just didn’t sit well after leaving, and we had barely eaten half our food.
Normally, I am the queen of leftovers. There’s nothing I love more than seeing a takeout box in the fridge waiting for me. But, both of us had no desire to take any of the food home.
We definitely won’t be coming back, since the food is terrible and the place seems a bit on the dirty side.

I don’t know how this place got such good reviews because the food is mediocre at best… You might as well get some Raleys or Safeway Chinese food. And they give you an over sized portion because the food is not great… As I like to refer to it ghetto Chinese food. Don’t waste your money just go to panda express right there on the corner of Bruceville and cosumned river

The lady that took my order was super nice, friendly and helpful. The portions were huge but the food just wasn’t to my likings. I’m unsure how this place got 4.5 stars to be honest with you. I ordered a decent spread (general chicken, peeking pork and the house fried rice) mostly all of it went to waste.
If your looking for good Chinese food I would highly recommend Wayne’s Wok, the portions aren’t as big but the food is 10 times better than this place. I think it’s safe to say I won’t be returning to Sunrise anytime soon

For this place being small it packs a flavorful and fresh flavor in their dishes. We will return.

I have to say this place wasn’t the cleanest or in the best area but the amazing food makes up for it. Came in with a friend for lunch and ordered some of their lunch specials. I don’t know about their dinner menu or prices but they’re lunch specials were very affordable and had a wide variety of sides to choose from. The lunch specials includes chow mein, fried rice and a side of your choice. I ordered general chicken and my buddy ordered the orange chicken.
When the food came out, it looked fresh and appetizing. The chow mein was perfectly seasoned and not drenched in sauce like other Chinese cuisine restautants. The fried rice wasn’t hard or bland at all and was seasoned perfectly. The chicken wasn’t all soggy like you would expect from other places and is definitely worth having again. Compared to other Chinese restaurant I been to, the service was great and they were always constantly checking up with us to see if they could help us with anything.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this Chinese restaurant and come here again. They are not greedy at all with their portion size and have great service. Absolutely worth the try if you are craving some amazing and cheap Chinese food.

I agree with all the positive reviews. Theyre true!
The Egg Rolls… theyre battered so theyre crispy but the egg roll wrapper itself is soggy inside. Along w the filling, its all soggy and bland. Not much flavor at all Only reason for the ⁴⁄₅ rating.
