Always stellar. Highlights for me are their lamb dumplings in vinegar broth, combo plates, eggplant, and green beans. I've been here over a dozen times and am always satisfied. Highly recommended!

The place was low key, cafeteria style. Food was good and reasonably priced. We had spicy beef noodle soup, black bean sauce shrimp, popcorn chicken, pot stickers and their traditional meat dish. Everyone was pleased with their choices of food.

The food is fresh and very tasty. I especially enjoyed the dumplings. I've heard the Taiwanese are renowned for dumplings, and I wasn't disappointed .They have familiar Chinese food items as well as a few items for more adventuresome diners. The owner are very nice tooI highly recommend this place.

we went there a couple days ago and tried to ask for a menu or if we could sit at one of the many empty tables but the lady just stood there ignored us and then went on a phone call, which is fine but when she was done she proceeded to ignore us. Terrible service.

Disappointed. Not authentic Taiwanese. I should have known by the Chinese signage. It's written in simplified Chinese. Beef noodle soup's broth tasted like diluted and beef was too thinly sliced instead of beef chunks. We ordered a Hakka dish. Though it was tasty but definitely not matching the name of the Hakka dish.

Excellent food. Ordered Hunan tofu. Husband had green bean beef and we split stir fried spinach. Excellent. Note: you order at a counter here and they bring the food to you. Easy on street parking. We will be back.

Honestly the food is pretty terrible. I have been to many and cook a lot of Chinese food but this place was a downer. I am unhappy that they cater to college students and cook with no care. I can not prove it...yet...but the beef they used was spoiled. I took two bites and left.

OMG,the worst taiwanese restaurant I ever been to, popcorn chicken was dry and salty, dumplings was broken when served, moody guy in the back was dirty,I saw him sneezing when he was cooking,crab the ingredients without washing hands,if I can I hope I could give them no ⭐at all,how could those people can still stay in business,if you get covid after eating there , don't be shocked.

Good place. ? got the lamb dumplings in vinegar sauce. The rice dish was really good! ? the beef noodle wasn't the greatest. The beef was not tender enough. The tea was good! I would go back there again given the chance. Service was a bit pushy and place wasn't as clean as I would hope.

Yummy authentic Taiwanese food. Very friendly service, though service could be slow when it's busy. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor seatings. We ordered beef noodle soup, chicken drumstick over rice and vegetable chow mein. We all liked our dishes. We'll definitely go back to try other dishes.
Been coming here a few times a month since moving to Davis and have tried enough things to say this is a household favorite. We especially like the Zha Zhang Mein, Beef Noodle soup, all of the pork dumplings, all of the rice combos (especially pork gravy over rice mmmmm) and their two lamb dishes. The lady who runs the place is very nice and she always waits until I arrive to make the frozen drinks - most boba places don't even do that but it makes your slushie ideal consistency when you get it. I've never eaten in due to COVID but it seems like a nice place for a date.Haven't tried all the appetizers but I will say the fried dishes are super yummy so I'd say you can't go wrong on any of those. Please enjoy this photo of the fried pork chop with my Taiwanese dog begging for a taste.

Contactless order through app, orders come pretty quickly and portions are huge. Taste like home cooking, definitely recommend

Best Taiwanese food in greater Sacramento area. Can't go wrong with any of the combo specials but their mince pork over rice is my favorite.

These cowboys charged my wife and me twice! We had to dispute it through our credit card company. Also, the fried rice is on a level with L&L in Hawaii

There's something about this particular restaurant that always draws me in. Out of all the restaurants I've tried in Davis, there's an allure to the food of Hometown Taiwanese Restaurant others cannot replicate. You'd think the star of their pork chop rice is the fried, crispy pork chop but you'd be mistaken. The true gem is those little chunks of braised meat scattered generously, the conglomeration of fat globs, lean meat with the aromatic sauce soaked into each grain of rice. It's accompanied by an egg bathed in that pork stew full of herbs, spices and pickled vegetables to counter the oil as a delicate balance within this perfection. This potent rice-braised meat combo deserves a waxing of lyrical poetry. It's the type of meal that you'd return home to after a weary day and scoop into your mouth ferociously, asking beaming family for second helpings. Yet, it's simultaneously the humble star of banquet feasts, the celebratory dish carefully reserved for special days when one has time to spare standing over the stove monitoring the brewing. At once luxurious, complex and homely, deceptively simple. I'd call it ambrosia. I almost feel bad for the fried pork chop, how can it compete with this flavor explosion?Lyrical poetry aside, the prices are reasonable for the serving size ($13.75 for the rice and tea combo) and you'll be greeted by a friendly front-of-house as well as the option of indoor and outdoor seating. I went in the afternoon before dinnertime and, even at that odd hour, the place was rather packed. Try this place out for yourself and see if you understand its irresistible allure as I (and surely many others) do!
