Simon's Bar & Cafe - Sacramento

Simons is a unique spot! You would never guess form the outside, but it has a really fun atmosphere with pretty good food! I love the diversity of the

The place looked kind of sketchy at first, my group and I weren't sure if we should enter.

If you're look for fine Chinese cuisine, I highly recommend you go elsewhere. If you want a snack at the bar and it's happy hour, go for it!

The staff are all really friendly. The owner was actually the one to seat me. I came on a Friday for lunch time. They have a separate lunch menu with a few good deals. I got one of the combos--honey walnut shrimp with fried rice and chow mein (comes with the entree . It was definitely not small on size. I often had a craving for soup, so I got a 'smaller ' soup, but it was definitely decent sized. I took home leftovers. They state on their menu that they don 't have MSG in their dishes. They had a couple of TV 's (I think they had sports on and they had some sort of rock music playing in the background. Good stuff. There were a few people sitting at the bar. They were either regulars or they had really good rapport with the staff. Overall a nice visit for lunch. (Side note. They had a sign posted outside for inspection. All green and good to go. They passed. I know someone had posted a red sign earlier. Just wanted to say that they passed when I came!

At my booth, I was greeted with Chinese food, rum and coke, and a rock rendition of 'I want it that way ' by the Backstreet Boys in an otherwise quiet, unsassuming place in Midtown. Flamboyant? Yes. Epic? Hell yeah. The drinks are not watered down and are made well. The food is tasty and reasonably priced. This place far exceeded my expecations- Simon 's is a delight of an experience.
