Sunshine Café — Restaurant in Sacramento

Where are people supposed to park? UC Davis? I've tried to eat here three times. No luck!

Edit on November 4, 2025: I finally got to try this place. My sister and I drove around the blocks a few times before we found a place to park. There were two people working. Presumably a couple. When the man stepped out for a bit, she was the only one to take orders and cook. So it took some time. The food was great, but not really hot. We both enjoyed our orders, but neither were hot. Just warm. So I can only assume our Chinese food was pre-made. I had a glass noodle with beef plate that came with four pot stickers. They were crispy and super tasty. So was the dipping sauce. My sister ordered the orange chicken plate. It had tender, breaded chicken that was neatly sliced, with a sweet orange glaze poured on top. Each of our meals came with a side of white rice.

He was OK with lunch but not me i said okay we'll just come another time not once did the lady say well don't leave. Makes me wonder how much they value my business at the end of the day. Not only will I probably not ever eat there again I'll tell all my colleagues, i love supprting small businesses. I'm going to miss those...

This little cafe holds such a special place in my heart.. Our twin girls were born prematurely and we spent 5 months at UCDavis with them. One of the nurses told us about the Sunshine Cafe and it instantly became our favorite. The owners became almost like family to us.. They were always so sweet and always greeted us with warmth. Their food was always incredible and the atmosphere is great too! We are in Idaho now and can't enjoy their delicious food, unfortunately. If we are in the area again we will definitely be stopping by. Thank you for the...
