14 Best Chinese Restaurants in Davis

“Tasty Gourmet is such a great spot in Davis. They have all the classic Chinese-American dishes you’d expect, and everything we ordered was really good. The portions are also very generous, so you definitely get a lot of food for what you pay.

The bao dessert buns were especially amazing and were definitely one of the highlights of the meal.

What stood out the most, though, was how kind and attentive the staff were. I believe this is a family-run business, and you can really tell they take pride in what they do. It’s the kind of place where you feel genuinely welcomed, and I’d definitely come back again.“

“Clean restaurant with no unpleasant smell—just the aroma of freshly stir-fried dishes. Everything had great wok hei, and even the iced water tasted fresh with no chlorine taste. They also have a nice selection of drinks.

The Spicy Crispy Chicken was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice.
The Beef Chow Mein was much better than the typical American Chinese version, with tender, high-quality beef.
The Eggplant with Century Egg and Peppers was delicious, especially after mixing everything together.
The Dry Pot Pork Intestines were the highlight—crispy, flavorful, slightly spicy, and incredibly clean with no off smell at all.

Authentic Hunan food and definitely worth a visit!“

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

“Delicious food and great food“

“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.“

“The outback setting feels like a movie set from the 80s or 90s and I’m into it. You order first, grab a spot, and they bring everything out in to-go containers… not my favorite move for dine-in, but this is a busy college town spot so clearly it works for them. Service was solid, food was good (not mind blowing, but it hits the spot), and I appreciate the range of vegan and vegetarian options. Easy place to land when you just want something satisfying without overthinking it. Solid 3.5–4 stars.“

“I didn’t expect to enjoy a steak from a Chinese restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised. My Brazilian friend wanted steak at 11AM and most steak restaurants weren’t open. We saw a picture of a steak om google maps and decided to try it. Not only was the steak very tasty, and Brazilian approved, but the whole meal was very inexpensive. Give it a try.“

“love the beef chow fun, but it does sometimes taste too salty or too plain, they’re not consistent with it. had the tomato and eggs noodle soup once- it was just so watery and also flavorless. so don’t order that.

but the ma la stuff (the spicy numbing dishes) are pretty solid“

“Nice hidden cafe serving good food. Braised pork belly bowl and popcorn chicken were great. The bowl portion was big and the meat and bok choy was soft and sweet. Popcorn chicken spice was nice and meat was juicy. I only got the 25% sweetness black tea and that was a nice pairing with the food.“

“Fabulous food Delicious food Good service Friendly staff“

“This food was delicious. My husband and I ordered 5 different items and all of them were phenomenal. We will definitely return and bring others.“

“the only downside of open rice is how crowded and noisy it can be. the food is absolutely amazing, the service is amazing, and the prices are amazing. genuinely my favorite place to eat out at when i dont got a lot i can afford. the pork belly fried rice is 🔥“

“first time and I loved it!!“

“I forgot to pick up the order yesterday, but the manager in this restaurant did a replacement meal for me and let me take away. I was surprised for this and thought that I might be told that no order would taken away this time since I was late.“
