10Best Says

The Fat's name has been a mainstay in Sacramento dining since 1939, and descendants of the original owner still run this legendary eatery. A popular spot for politicos and lawmakers, Frank Fat's has abundant local charm, not to mention dishes representing four main Asian culinary styles: Cantonese, Szechwan, Peking, and Shanghai. Specialties include brandy stir-fried chicken and stir-fried clams in black bean sauce. A few American dishes cater to less adventurous folks.
