Absolutely delicious!! So good that I had to go again the very next day and will be having leftovers the third day. Highly recommended!

By far the best Chinese food around, we are very picky when it comes to this type of food and they did not disappoint! Good food and good service. Definitely will be our go to even though it's about 20 minutes from our home, It's worth the drive !

Amazing food - great service ! I would recommend this place for sure!

Love the food, boba, and Thai tea! The staff is super nice. Thank you!

Good food, good portions, good service what else could you want?

The food is the best workers are so kind and the atmosphere was clean

I got the orange chicken dinner. It was amazing and the price was great sucks that I can only come back once a year. But I will definitely come back. I actually took some bites of my food before I decided to post

Good food, good service, good times. This is the kind of place you go to, order something that looks good, and get absolutely filled with so much tasty food. It’s so good and the portions are perfect for a big eater while the prices are perfect for someone not looking to spend too much. Get the dinner combo for $14 and you will be extremely happy.

We came here for dinner and really enjoyed the food. General Tao Chicken was so crispy and delicious without being too sweet. Shrimp fried rice tastes amazing with high wok-heat flavors with big shrimp. Chicken wings are delicious with five spice. The owner’s kids served us and they are lovely friendly kids helping their parents. I was really tired all day but the dinner here really

We are out of towners and needed a place to dine for dinner. We decided to take my kids here for dinner because they offered dinner combination plates. Best choice we made! It wasn't busy so we were seated right away. The staff was polite. We got our food quick. Food was DELICIOUS! My son even suggested we leave a good review. Food quality was exceptional & quantity was more than adequate for the price. We left satisfied and hope we will have another opportunity to return here again.

Came here for lunch special (pic) with coworkers. Real small place, but it does have a few places to sit. Can't beat the lunch special under $11, where you get a soup and full meal. Great drink selection and has bobba as well. Real small business with whole family serving you! Great food!

Killer food. All 3 dishes we got looked and smelled amazing. Highest quality. Service was quite friendly. 10/10

I ordered string bean chicken with a coconut boba smoothie. The chicken was tender and the sauce was delicious. Smoothie had great coconut flavor and boba pearls were soft. I even asked for a side of chili pepper which they gladly provided. Small restaurant but overall it was great. I recommend you come here and try it out for yourself.

Great food and excellent service. It's my first time at "Good friends" and i had a fantastic time. If anyone who love Chinese food or just want to try out different Asian food this is the place to go. The food are very good. The rice plates comes in big size and are very cheap. The sushi rolls are super good too. The workers and waitress are very nice and friendly. This place is a must try.

Had a good lunch meeting at this place today, Monika was the server. She gave us the proper attention but at the same time was not nosy . Definitely would come back. As an advice to the Owner . Continue keeping the place clean.

The food was delicious and very fresh the staff were friendly and they had a large menu. The portion sizes were very good and the lunch plate was a good price for the amount of food you get.

A neighborhood treasure, one of my family’s favorite take out places. Always delicious and made with love. We recommend to everyone.

The amount of food you can get in the combos is crazy amazing. This is a great place for good food on a budget! It's a family business and sometimes their kids are working and they're very sweet!

Ivan is the best waiter/cashier, food was great, our family (Jax n Jake) were enjoyed so much. Thanks very much.

A neighborhood treasure, one of my family’s favorite take out places. Always delicious and made with love. We recommend to everyone.

Food is good and generally consistent. Sometimes they have off days but overall solid. However, the upcharge on Ubereats is crazy. Like an extra $3.50 per meal. Best to order on the website!

I'm trying a different restaurant today. Good friends, Chinese restaurant. Busy little location offering many favorites, mine is egg fu yung. They also have sushi 🍣 with a great menu for both cuisines. The server/service was just ok. The roasted bbq pork chow fun was very good, and my house egg fu Yung was great. The sauce was very tasty and the chicken and beef were tender. And the portions were perfect. So if your looking for Egg fu Yung, because many place have taken it off the menu. You can find a great one here. I Would recommend a good scrubbing of all surfaces, it's kinda sticky

good cafe serving Chinese and Japanese cuisine. The rolls are very tasty. the interior is not very beautiful, but the inside of the cafe is clean.

We wanted to try some Chinese food and found this little place. We ordered the pan-fried noodles with beef and the sweet and sour pork. The noodles were good, but I was disappointed with the sweet and sour pork. Most of what I ate was batter. There was very little meat in the dish.

Amazing, friendly service. Decent food. 3.5/4 but I rated it 4 (since obviously no half stars) We ordered here for the first time a week or so back. The service was really friendly, and the owners kids are also helping. It was cute. We ordered Mongolian Beef, Sesame Chicken and Vegetable Chow Mein. The portions were large, and it lasted us two meals. The Chow Mein was my favorite of the three dishes. My wife preferred the Sesame Chicken. We both did not like the Mongolian Beef. Mongolian Beef: So for one, the beef had a really weird texture and didn’t taste that great either. I’m guessing they put too much corn starch on it? The flavor of the sauce was good although we ended up throwing away half of it. Sesame Chicken: Cooked nicely and it was crispy. The flavor was just kind of bland to me. It was just a sweet sauce and that’s it. I think I would have preferred Sweet & Sour instead. It was just ok to me. My wife liked it better. Veggie Chow Mein: This was really good. The noodles were cooked perfectly and it had a lot of fresh veggies. We both really enjoyed this. Would I return? Yes. The service was great and they have a lot of options for dishes. But hopefully all the dishes next time will hit the mark. Otherwise, our search will continue for good Chinese in Natomas.

good cafe serving Chinese and Japanese cuisine. The rolls are very tasty. the interior is not very beautiful, but the inside of the cafe is clean.

My meal was ok-ish. I can see how some might appreciate it’s familiar comfort American Asian/Chinese take.

I am so disappointed at what I saw today. One of the lady employees was sitting at a table in the kitchen area in front of the stove, eating her lunch. It was absolutely unprofessional and unsanitary. The restaurant was empty. She could have chosen any table on the floor to eat at. The table she was eating at was probably the table they use to cut up food on.

I've eaten here a number of times in the past when in the area for work. Usually the food is really good and I enjoy the meal but this time it just wasn't as good. Maybe it was because it was a Monday night. They have a good lunch special with a number of options and a dinner special with the same choices plus Sweet and Sour Pork. The meal had a choice of soup, egg drop or Hot and Sour. I had the Hot and Sour. The problem was, the temperature of the soup was only warm, not hot. I had the Broccoli Beef with my dinner special and that was very good. The meat was soft and tender and the broccoli crisp and cooked well. The Sweet and Sour Pork was mostly fried bits of coating and not much meat. The red sauce was only warm and the pineapple was cold like just out of the fridge. I'll still keep coming back when in the area but I would hope next time that the quality goes back up to what it was.

Nice staff , nice small place to have a beer and some Chinese and Japanese food.They have boba and sesame balls too mmmm

They offer a decent lunch special with a main entree plus, fried rice, chow mein, spring rolls and soup (soup dine in only). Fried rice and chow mein leave some to be desired. Packing flavor but served hot. The salt and pepper fish was very good. Fresh not over cooked. Hot n sour soup was okay. Staff is very friendly and polite. The restaurant appears clean. Table service is offered or order to go. Not a terrible quick lunch option.

Generous serving for lunch combo but the taste wasn't that great. Chowmein and fried rice were bland. General Tso's sauce wasn't too bad but wish the chicken pieces were a little crunchy. I guess, for a cheap lunch ($10.25), I got what I paid for? ^_^

Went here for lunch today. It’s the first time since COVID. The chow-mien was not my favorite. It barely had anything in it other then noodles and a few onions.both the rice and chow-mien could have been warmer. The cashew shrimp and egg roll were the best. Both were hot off the grill.

I really wanted to like this place a lot more...the flavor combinations on the house specialty rolls were fantastic.. the couple working, I believe they were the owners, very friendly... Unfortunately, the rest of my experience.. not so great... Maybe it was just an off day.. That could explain forgetting part of my 4 item Togo order... However I'm guessing their rolls are always this small.... And the Unagi Nigri.... Well.. it was mushy and covered in teriyaki sauce, I think.... $41 for two rolls, Unagi, and edamame..($50 with tip for sushi chef and another $15 for 2 plum wines and tip).and the napkin was in the box on my roll when I opened it... Like I said... I really wanted to like this place... And maybe you will.... I, however, will not be giving a second chance... And of course I spilled my second glass of plum wine... Not a single drink taken from it.. it has been set down behind my to go bag and was subsequently knocked over when I tried to pick the bag up. They didn't even stir to see what the noise was..

Ordered Walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef and pork fried rice. None looked they should including the rice. Not one Walnut in the shrimp and not one chili in the Mongolian. And the fried rice was dark red with an odd flavor. Didn't even eat it

Last week, went to get my take out and the lady told me the costs and gave me menu. When she rang me up, she overcharged me $2.50 extra...this is a bad business and fraud. When i asked the lady why she overcharged me, she ignored me and acted like she was the boss. The manager came and she never showed any concern. She made a nasty comment then. They did not show any respect. Please do not go here. This place has no value for customers. They rob customers. The quality of food also is not that great. Horrible customer service.

Service was great but the food does not have any flavor I threw my in the trash full plate

First time being skimped on my entree tonight I called it in and she yells at me and says if I want more then order more wow how rude to charge the same price but give less food I've ordered this same meal multiple times never had the issue untill tonight very unprofessional then she tells me tofu is very expensive like it's my fault like ok then change the price if it cost more to make but I know tofu isn't expensive at all so don't lie an don't skimp customers I'll be resending my payment ASAP not satisfied at all.

Food was fine until we found some bugs on the soup, i won't be back to this place after finding this..😱😱🤮🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬

I don't see how you guys rate this place with anything more than one star! This place is deplorable 🤢 I couldn't even eat more than one bite. I wanted to give it away, but couldn't bare giving someone else something I wouldn't eat. So a complete waste of a lunch break and $10. Good friends wouldn't let good friends eat at this garbage dump!

My food was cold by the time I came home and the chow mein chicken was cold. Everything was cool my fried rice, my sesame chicken the chicken and the chow mein was cold like it wasn’t even cooked. I’ll never go here again.
