Plaza Cafe & Grill

This mom and pop shop has been opened since 1985 and I can see how they've managed to stay open for so long. It's located in a business plaza which is highly convenient for those who work in the area. The restaurant is run by a very sweet, hardworking Mongolian couple who've managed to wow my gf and I the last two times we've been here.The first time we came, we ordered the 3 item bento box special with beef teriyaki, tonkatsu, and eggrolls. It comes with rice and salad too. We also ordered the (I think this was the name) orange blossom roll. Absolutely everything was delicious and we were pleasantly surprised! The tonkatsu was juicy and tender unlike most other places I've tried before. The beef teriyaki was also tender, cooked to perfection. The sauces they had for both the teriyaki and the tonkatsu was soooo gooood. The eggrolls were also pretty good, nice crunch to it, but I don't remember it wow-ing me. The salad was fresh, my only nitpick is that I wish they used thousand island dressing instead of ranch. Now the orange blossom roll was a blessing because they gave us really thick cuts of salmon on top. I mean they were not stingy with it at all. From the salmon itself to the avocado and the masago, everything came together so well. And you wouldn't think that sushi from a random business plaza joint would be good but trust me, this was delicious. Definitely going back to try other rolls.Now for our second visit, we decided to try their breakfast and were also pleasantly surprised. My gf and I both ordered the stacked pancakes that comes with pancakes, eggs, your choice of ham, bacon, or sausage (we went with sausage), and their home potatoes. Please believe me when I tell you this was one of the most satisfying breakfasts I've had in my entire life. You can just tell that everything was made with love, cheesy as it sounds, it's true. The pancakes had that perfect, fluffy consistency, and was a good amount of buttery. Their sausage patties were delicious and a good portion size to go with their home potatoes, which were equally yummy. They're soft and fluffy with the potato skin still on, yum. I had also ordered a coffee which wasn't anything too special, but it's coffee from a mom and pop so I won't discount them for that.All in all, this seems like a pretty solid place to have either breakfast or lunch at. It's a shame they're not open for dinner cuz I wouldn't mind grabbing a bite to eat here after 4pm, but definitely worth it to try most items they have on their menu. They seem like they can do it all.

12/12/2024 - I'm a breakfast person. I've been to many restaurants in Sacramento to eat breakfast, and my favorite meal is to always include french toast. Plaza Café and Grill ranks at the top 3 locations I order french toast, it's delicious.I order off the breakfast menu (until 11:30am) FRENCH TOAST ($10.50)It includes eggs, choice of meat, home potatoes & 2 thick slices of yummy French toast. I add small coffee ($2).You order at the counter & it's brought to your table. No yelling out your name or number to get up from your comfortable seat to obtain your hot delicious food!I choose to put a tip in the counter-top jar, because it seems like a small family business and I appreciate their pleasant attitude and consistent delicious food each time I visit.Full disclosure: I always order the same thing!it's that goodTo help you find this gem of a restaurant, it's on Northgate Blvd in a business park exactly across from the big location of NAPA AUTO & TRUCK PARTS.

This review based on breakfast burrito only.I always wondered where this place was and this morning I found it. Basically located in a business park right off of Northgate Blvd close to Del Paso.This mom n pop shop boasts a large menu including breakfast, burgers, Japanese food and Sushi. I ordered the sausage breakfast burrito and was totally not expecting the sort of stew like Mexican flavored filling of potatoes peppers and onions. There was very little egg or sausage in the filling as well.The burrito was still edible but not even close to a normal breakfast burrito. Hopefully the other food is better.

The only reason this place is getting a star is because the food is actually not bad. I am however highly disappointed over the service and cost. I have stopped coming to plaza Cafe for a few months because of Roses bad attitude and practices of the establishment charging $.23 for Togo box. This charge should be included in the overhead cost of running a business. However back to the main point bad service.Today I gave it another try, I knew I would be charged extra for the items I ordered (lemon and chili oil). However Rose was trying to give me less sauce and still charging me $.23 for it. I then confronted her and she then added more to the sauce but still did not fill it. Point is if you're going to find ways to charge customers extra fill up the container you're charging them for.

So close to my work, will def go here again when I forget to bring food. Portions were large, food was good.I got:Breakfast burrito, $8- huge, had eggs, bell peppers, cheese, onions, rice. Overall yum, filling and worth $8. Breakfast food available until 1130!Bento ($13) with teriyaki salmon, spicy chicken. Spicy chk was mild (aka I can tolerate it and Im a spice wimp). Salmon had good flavor and texture. Came w rice, salad, miso soup. Overall great value! Overall pleased w this place! Lots of selections too.

5 stars. For the price of the food which is really cheap this place is good. Quality food. 4 stars won ton soup. Broth was good. Won tons were above average. For $6.99 this is a good deal. 5 star chicken ramen. Lots of noodles. Lots of ingredients. Big chunks of chicken. For $9.99 this is good.

The Yelp reviews were great, as were recs by someof my coworkers, so a colleague and I opted for lunch here.The menu is very broad. Like extremely. Very international.My colleague opted for a bento box and enjoyed it. I was on the fence - burger, pastrami sando, bento box, pho, etc... I went with sushi. Don't know what I was thinking. A few bites in I knew I couldn't finish it. Something was off. Later that afternoon I suffered for my poor life choices. Needless to say - never going back.

I love this place. It's super casual and well priced for the large portions they serve. Food is always great quality and out super fast!

Actually, in breakfast sandwiches prices are reasonable. Lunch is great. Great customer service very clean one of my favorite spots for breakfast close to my work.

This is a small business that services the local businesses with a variety of different foods from ramen, sushi, pho, to classic sandwiches and breakfast foods.. all the meals come in hearty portions.Little did you know there is a secret menu for Mongolian Food here. The only place in Sacramento that serves authentic Mongolian food.
