18 Best Chinese Restaurants in Davis

“Best Chinese food in Davis! Tucked away from all the hustle and bustle, this is a hidden gem for the food alone (I suggest the chciken curry and potstickers), but then the added bonus of an owner who very clearly cares about her business and the community. In my 3 years now in Davis, I haven't found an owner who has been so personable and treats customers like family as much as she did, even taking moments to interact with our 6 month old. We felt as if we were eating right at home! We will 100% be back! The portions are generous as well!“

“We got the Hunan style noodles with beef, pork and cabbage dry pot, and eggplant and green beans. All the dishes were so tasty!

Parking: Free parking lot with plenty of spots available.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly restaurant. High chairs are available for babies. No booster seats for smaller kids. Most dishes are spicy, so may not be kid-friendly in that sense.“

“Super fast and tasty food with excellent customer service. The front lady is super nice and incredibly considerate, a new favorite restaurant for sure!“

“哇！This is some of the best Chinese food I have eaten in the Sacramento area; great new flavors that I didn't even know were originally Chinese. The waiter was nothing but kind was very considerate with my limited knowledge of Chinese cuisine, even recommending me some things on the menu and refiling my lemon tea when I ran out. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Tasty Palace is the best Chinese in town, bar none. It's authentic northern Chinese cuisine, so it's spicy. Lots of people expecting Panda Express will be disappointed. But if you want an authentic and very tasty Chinese dining experience, this is the best game in town.

I recommend nearly every seafood dish, the tofu, the lamb... It's all great. Be forewarned -- it's not boring. It's full of flavor.

Reasonable prices too considering portion size. Nearly every dish can easily be shared between two people.

This has become our Chinese go-to spot, and I hope more people will give it a try!“

“I was pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of this Hunan restaurant. I ordered four dishes in total, and the overall quality exceeded my expectations. The Changsha stinky tofu was the first time I’ve experienced such authentic stinky tofu in the entire US. Although it was listed under the cold dishes, it was actually served hot. The tofu was incredibly juicy and flavorful. The rice noodles were also exceptional, especially considering the price range. The pork intestines were prepared nicely as well. I must say, students in this area are fortunate to have access to such an authentic Chinese restaurant at a relatively reasonable price.“

“Noodle House, as my family and I lovingly call it, is an icon in Davis. It's a little hole in the wall behind Sophia's Thai Bar that was referred to my husband and I 15 years ago. We walked in and almost left because it's small... and old... and a little sketchy? But we decided to give it a try anyway.
We have been coming regularly since then, and our family has grown, and grown up begging to go there for special occasions like getting good grades, etc. There is nothing we have had that isn't delicious.
I highly recommend the won ton noodle soup, pork chop noodle soup, szechuan eggplant with noodles, the potato curry with noodles, the 5 spice beef noodle soup, and the chow mein.
The noodles are homemade. The broths and sauces are unique, delicious, and literally award winning.
The service is fine. It's the same lady for the past several years. She's quick and efficient. Before that, I think it was her mom or aunt.
You won't regret trying it out - and if you do, you'll be back.“

“Went here because I heard it was really popular. The food did not disappoint, My girlfriend got the popcorn chicken while I got the 12pc Beef Dumplings. At 1 dollar a dumpling, I can not complain! The meat was tender and delicious while the popcorn chicken was just the right crispness. Not to mention the paprika they add. Delightful! I do have to say their menu options are quite limited compared to other dumpling houses I’ve been too, but they definitely have more variety in the drinks then others. Drinks were really good too!“

“Delicious food and great food“

“Good food, large portions with enough to take home. The drinks are not as flavorful as other places, particularly the Yakult drinks which did not have much Yakult flavor. It was very warm and muggy inside, so it was a little uncomfortable to eat there on a warmer spring evening. We ended not finishing our meal and took it home to finish because my wife and kids were complaining about how hot and muggy they were. Overall a good place to get food, but their drinks are not as good as other Boba/Tea shops in town. Also for the comfort of customers, they should turn on the A/C (might have been broken, but I didn’t ask). We did like their food which was flavorful and would go back for their other food dishes, but may get our tea drinks elsewhere.“

“Fabulous food Delicious food Good service Friendly staff“

“Friends say it's just like the Uniboil they're used to in Southern California and I can't argue with that assessment. Get the triple meat hot pots if you want a ample portion, or add extras off the menu. Triple, pork blood, tendon meatballs, all kinds of delicious noms.“

“Best Hot Pot I’ve had in Davis by far!!! SUPER SPICY but extremely rich and flavorful!!! The sliced noodles were amazing!! This is my first time coming and it will not be my last!! Happy to have this in West Davis!! 10/10!! Our waiter was also incredibly sweet and helpful!“

“I can not express enough to y’all how much I love coming to this Panda Express, this team has it going! Sarah (I think that’s her name, she wears an all black uniform) is top tier friendly, fast, and super efficient at what she does. It’s not only her though, it’s legit everybody that works there, any time I’m too lazy to cook food (which is practically every single night) I come here and it’s like going to grandmas house and she makes sure you are good and full. Thank you Davis Panda Express team for making me feel welcomed here!“

“Went today with my brother and his co-worker/friend. Tried for the first time and IM COMING BACK!!! The food is flavorful, great portions, great prices, and ,couldn’t decide what to choose. I ordered Teriyaki chicken with rice, boba drink, and they were delishhhh. Gonna try the noodles next. The definition of WORTH!!“

“Where do I start? I was new to the Davis foodie scene, but I came across Ding How and my mind was BLOWN. My partner and I both love vegan food, and was shocked to find Ding How had an entire vegan menu. Our go-tos are the Chin Ju chicken, Sesame chicken, Szechwan beef and a house chow mein! I always try to venture out of our favorites but.. they’re just so good to not get a second time! ? The staff are super patient, and friendly. They greet us so kindly upon entering and always check on us if we are dining inside. Oh! I forgot to mention that the lunch special is superior (especially when I’m on a budget and still want a hefty plate) but make sure you order before 3pm! Major shoutout to Ding How!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU! ??“

“first time and I loved it!!“
