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.

One of the best restaurants in davis. Seriously underappreciated gem. chef's noodle salad, Szechuan eggplant noodles, and the fried green onion bread are completely awesome. Best fried green onion bread in nor cal.

Davis Noodle City is a small, old, quiet place in a cute little area. There is table service. We got the veg wonton noodle soup (6 wontons, noodles, broccoli and carrots) which was pretty good (but could use more flavor and veg), as well as the Dan Dan noodles (only noodles with peanut sauce) which would have been much better with some veg.

Very disappointed with my meal here. Very bland flavours. I'm surprised how highly rated this place is, because it's certainly nit deserving of it.

So so so wonderful!! I got the sesame balls, kimchi tofu noodle soup & jujube honey tea. All ingredients just had the best mouth feel! So much better than I could have anticipated!! All for a really great price! 😋😋 🌱and tons of vegan options!🌱 5 stars!!

Noodles and soup very bland but white pepper powder. Wontons are all broken and no taste.
Great flavor and portion size with relatively low prices!

Served premade, frozen veg spring rolls that were empty, eggplant noodles were overcooked. Sriracha bottles refilled with a cheap vinegar tasting replica, service is poor and plain rude. I do not recommend this restaurant. Spend your dollars at a better quality noddle restaurant.

Are you looking for a hole-in-the-wall type place with great food and value? Look no further.DNC is a no-frills place - don't come here if you want someone to wait on you constantly. They seat you, bring you water, ask for your order, bring it, and leave you alone to enjoy your food. If they see your water is low, they will come fill it. I say "they", but really there is typically one waitress who handles all the tables and checks. If you need anything else, you catch her eye or go ask her at the counter. Personally, I love this type of service. If you don't, well, you should still try the food, but maybe temper your expectations before you go.The food is delicious and served in big portions. I can't usually finish a bowl of soup in one sitting. Pro tip: if you have leftover soup, but maybe too many noodles for the remaining broth or vice versa, you can order an extra serving of noodles or broth to take home.The chow mein isn't traditional American Chinese chow mein - it's more like a garlic noodle stir fry. And it's delicious.I like most of the vegetarian dishes I've had there. I usually default to the kimchi tofu noodle soup or the regular veggie noodle soup, but I think I've tried all the soups on their dedicated vegetarian menu and have enjoyed them all. If you want more protein, you can ask to add tofu to any soup.Their veggie appetizers are also good, but my favorite is not listed on the menu - the vegetarian pot stickers. Perfectly crispy and chewy, they come with a filling of mushrooms, glass noodles, and minced vegetables and a dipping sauce. The only appetizer I haven't enjoyed was the fried tofu. I only tried it once, though (the potstickers are my favorite) and I give restaurants two shots before giving a solidly negative review on any item in case it was just a one-off event. It was the only disappointing item I've ever received from them, so I'm looking forward to trying it again. (I'll update this review when that happens.)All in all, this is one of my top 5 restaurants in Davis. It's what I crave when I'm sick, or if I just want a quiet lunch with a comforting bowl of soup (with leftovers!). I love this place.
