In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Folsom; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in California are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

This was really great! Everything tasted so fresh. I wasnt disappointed by any of the meats, sides, or appetizers. Service was really fast and they checked on us at the right time for refills and reorders. There are so many options that everyone can find something to enjoy.

Just visited Tao’s HotPot & Shabu in Folsom and had a fantastic experience. The service was excellent—the staff was super attentive and friendly throughout the meal, checking in on us often without being intrusive. We really liked that everyone gets their own individual pot, so we could all get exactly what we wanted. My kid loves spicy food and went for the Spicy Beef broth (Chongqing style), which was legitimately flavorful and had a good kick. I stuck with the Miso broth, which was savory and perfect for cooking the seafood. What to order: Definitely get the Handmade Shrimp Balls—they were the highlight of the meal! We also ordered the mussels and squid, which were fresh and cooked up quickly in the broth. If you’re a seafood fan, that combo with the Miso base works really well. Great spot for families or groups since you don't have to compromise on broth flavors. Will definitely be back! Quick Tip for you while you're there: Since you have the squid and mussels, try not to leave them in the pot too long (2–3 minutes usually does it) so they stay tender! Enjoy your meal!

We were surprised with the quality of food. Great mom and pops shop Plus they make sure their vegetables are fresh along with their meat balls, cilantro balls and shrimp meat balls (they make it themselves, not the typical frozen ones). Great customer service and family approved this to be the best in the area without having to drive to the bay area or south sac.

My friend and I don’t mind making the 20-30 minute drive to get here because we know we are going to have a good time and eat good food. The cuts of meat are always good, the sides are yummy too and the waiter was always attentive and checking in on us. My favorite is always the beef cuts, never lets me down. I think the sauces are okay for dipping the meat, I think that and the green chicken has room for improvement. I did notice the selection has changed since the last time I have come here, I think there are more options for sides now. Yay!
