Beijing Gourmet — Restaurant in Citrus Heights

Dude! This place is crazy legit. I lived in Oakland for 15 years and got to enjoy Oakland’s and San Francisco’s Chinatowns. In addition to lots of fancy Chinese around the Bay. But this might have bested them all.

We needed a yummy spot right off the freeway driving from Santa Cruz to Grass Valley. By the end of the meal we were begging the waitress to move their restaurant to Santa Cruz (land of disappointing Chinese food). We’ve bookmarked this place, and will definitely be returning the next time we head to the mountains.

We ordered potstickers (so good!), combo plate with chow mein and orange chicken (absolute perfection), and a combo plate with pork fried rice and curry chicken (exceptional!!). The combos came with egg flower soup, which I could have eaten a whole bowl of (even in 95 degree weather). The only thing that wasn’t absolute perfection was the egg roll, and it was still an 8 out of 10.

Service was friendly and attentive. Just all around a...

We went back to the car to open our box of food. The proportions of the chicken was a little much but I'm not complaining about a little extra chicken in my tray. The food was also really good with a bit of crunch on the orange chicken.

Overall, this restaurant is amazing with their service, food, and organization. I definitely recommend...

Anytime I try to do a phone order they would rather ask for my name then answer questions and they're always like 20-30 minutes behind so if I order something and I want it done in 10 minutes I have to wait 30 minutes for the most simplest dish and when I asked the price of it they just hang up. When you go in person to get food it seems like it's a lot faster and they're not assholes. The only good thing here is the combination appetizers and the orange chicken lunch everything else is just kind of whatever like Panda Express tastes better. But for the area I guess it's okay if you live in citrus heights if you don't live in citrus heights you can literally go anywhere else it'll be...
