“Went here for an anniversary dinner after seeing glowing reviews online. The service and waiter were amazing (shoutout Jose), the food was incredible, and the ambiance was amazing. We ended up ordering another entree to go, the food was THAT good. Overall, a great experience, and we will be coming back soon!“

“TLDR: Friendly staff, fun menu to explore — and if you like heat, the spicy chicken sandwich is the move.

UPDATE: 4 to 5 stars. Second visit, came back and tried the spicy chicken sandwich loaded with lettuce, tomato, onions, and jalapeños, paired with the sweet potato fries. Best thing I've had on the menu so far. The sweet potato fries were salty, and flavorful. The sandwich was spicy and tasty and I highly recommend it — just know it's messy. Come with extra napkins. Totally worth it and will be back.

First visit and left with a solid impression. The staff was genuinely helpful — they walked me through the menu and made recommendations without any pressure, which I appreciated.

I ordered the Original with the Spicy Mission sauce swapped in. It worked, though I forgot to ask for tomato, lettuce, and onion — user error, not theirs. Had a bite of the BBQ Bacon and the BBQ flavor wasn't for me.

Tried both the regular French Fries and the Garlic Parmesan Fries. Stuck with the regular — the garlic version was messy and the flavor didn't really earn the trouble. The hot chocolate chip cookie dessert was a nice finish.

One thing worth noting for traditionalists: they don't offer a plain regular burger. That was a miss for someone in my group who just wanted something simple.

Small bonus — fountain drinks with real sugar sodas. I rarely drink soda, but it's a cool touch if that matters to you.

Plan to come back and try a different burger.

Parking lot is undersized for the number of businesses in the mall — plan to arrive early or come by bike.“

“A regular stop for me. I've worked my way through all the chicken rice bowls and keep landing on the Hawaiian Spicy Chicken — it's the one to get.

The place runs efficiently. It's often busy, but the wait never feels like a wait — the staff move fast and stay friendly through the rush.

Outside seating is dog-friendly, which is what brings me in on nice days. Being able to bring the dog and sit outside makes this an easy choice when the weather cooperates.

Already planning to come back — this one has earned its spot in the regular rotation.“

“Great meal and good service. We will be back.“

“"This is my third purchase – your products are very good and always worth it!"“

“Yolo Berry in DAVIS, CA has the best yogurt and flavors around! Yum 😋! The kids and I highly recommend them. Perfect treat anytime of the year.“

“Really great coffee, quick service, lots of seating, easy access to Wifi.“

“What a great coffee/tea place that is like a Starbucks but better! Their combinations are really tasty and give off a homestyle vibe than your every day franchise business. The employees are great too! Very helpful and super kind!“

“Pizza was amazing! I would go back.“

“Stopped on our way through from Lake Tahoe to San Francisco. What a delicious lunch our family had !! Something for everyone even 2year old grandson ! We’re from Australia and this Mediterranean cuisine ranks up there with the best. Thanks so much for the complimentary baklava too !!“

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“This place offers fantastic smash burgers at incredibly reasonable prices. It’s a family-friendly space with a lot seating options both inside and out on the patio.

The smash burgers are among the best in town, and they also have a variety of hot dogs. If you’re a burger enthusiast, the double onion smash burger is a must-try.“

“Best sandwich ever.

Do I really need to say more?
I’m serious. Best sandwich ever. Staff always is on lookout to see if your beer is running low. Highly recommend stopping by Beach Hut Davis for a Sunrise Sandwich and a beer or two.“

“the food here is fabulous and the staff is very attentive. great restaurant with an awesome outdoor atmosphere.“

“The food is amazing! The owner Jordan was very friendly and informative. Our waitress Diana was a pleasure. The tea leaf salad was delicious. Will be going back to try more food in the menu .“

“Great service and authentic Mexican food the shrimp cocktail was delicious“

“Completely dissatisfied with the food. I had high hopes too.“

“Was tired of getting gouged at Guads on Mace ($18 for a burrito??) and was pleasantly suprised at how fair the prices were especially given the Convenient location. I have been twice in three days now and both times the service and excellent fare / food left me grinning and regretting driving by so many times before trying them out. Thank you Coyotes!“

“Good restaurant, but they didn't do great with gluten free or with vegan options. NOTE: THE RICE IS NOT GLUTEN FREE! (you have to put gluten in your rice?) and they have very few vegan options. I asked for a side of tofu with my salad as a Protien and they gave me raw, slightly marinated tofu. They could have grilled it or even warmed it? So weird. The others in my party had burgers and fries and they looked ok, but pricey for what they got. The staff was attentive and friendly. The space was nicely decorated.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Their Tikka masala is some of the best tasting food I've ever eaten - I'm not sure how they make it so good, but you owe it to yourself to go eat some!“

“This is one of my favorite lunch spots in Davis and I come here often. It's easy to access from the highway, with a decent parking lot, and ample outdoor seating. You line up right inside to counter order and they'll hand you a number stand, then they bring your food out to you when it's ready. There's a self-service tortilla chips and salsa bar in the back, and you can choose from any of the self-serve drink dispenser options (including the horchata) if you get a fountain drink (a la carte or as part of the daily special). I love how fast the food comes out and it's my go-to restaurant when I'm in a rush. I've had their tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchilada specials, etc and they've tasted great every time. I highly recommend it!!“

“My nephew works there!! He’s awesome!! Ask for Jeffrey W.“

“I loved it! So cute and the service was good.“

“great place. very relaxing. exilent decor.great staff, casy was very helpful with a great guidance on java. was our first time.“

“Delicious! The kids and I loved the food!“

“Joe and crew are the best! 😁“

“I used to come to this restaurant in the mid '00s, and it changed both name and ownership at some point between then and now. Perhaps I'm having a bit of nostalgia fogging, but it seems the quality declined somewhat the change. However, Nami is still a perfectly serviceable mid-range sushi restaurant even if they are no longer a hidden top-tier gem the way I remember them having been in 2005. Their sashimi continues to be decent, as do their bento boxes. They rolled out an AYCE menu at some point as well, but I haven't tried this as I tend to be skeptical of AYCE anywhere. The lunch service tends to run a bit slow even when the place is nearly empty, which I find mildly frustrating when I'm in a hustle to get back to work. The staff does seem to have some difficulty with English (they speak Cantonese as their primary language), which has made for difficulties in recent visits (explaining that I was not in fact ordering AYCE), but I have since become somewhat of a regular so they remember my preferences, which is a nice touch. I wouldn't call this a destination restaurant, but I appreciate it for its convenience and its prices which I find to be far more reasonable than many other Japanese restaurants in Davis. All in all, a good mix of quality, convenience, and cost -- a good lunchtime choice for folks who live and/or work in East Davis.“

“Love this place! It needs more recognition because locals don’t even know about it. Great food, great atmosphere!“

“Tkumi is such a nice spot for ramen I genuinely love coming here not just for the food but for the entire atmosphere and experience. I rember one time I came here and ate ramen while watching the entire rush hour 1 film on their tv. I love their food options and styles of boba with their teas, its such a unique experience I try telling everyone I know to come and check out this place“

“Great coffee and service!“

“the cold brew 🥰 yummy!!!!“

“first time and I loved it!!“

“first time there ~ Sister treated the whole fam. The wait staff were very good. place is clean, with a great atmosphere. Enjoyed my food completely.“

“This place is awesome. Cozy spot for some of the best food. The dumplings simply can't be beat. We drive out from the East Bay when we get a craving. Last night someone in our party went off script and ordered the general chicken and we were all impressed. The portion was huge, just enough for him to allow us all a sample without getting upset his food was disappearing. It was amazing.“

“For years I've ordered the kid's chicken and rice plate with chips. Recently, I've been getting my new favorite: the chicken or steak border burrito. Damn that border burrito!!! It had caused my food baby to come alive and really should knock it off. I just won't, so there's that. Go get one and see for yourself.“

“Love the variety! My favorite restaurant here is definitely the crepes place. I always order the nutella banana one! Otherwise, I go to spokes and get a regular cheeseburger, which is alright. I do like the Peet's coffee here, but I much prefer the one at the ARC since my order has been messed up a couple times.“

“This was my first time going to the Round Table Pizza in Davis, and I was honestly really impressed. The pizza came out hot and fresh, with plenty of toppings and a crust that was perfectly crispy without being dry. Everything tasted high quality, especially the sauce and cheese. The staff was super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better for a first visit. Even though it was busy, they were efficient and made sure orders were handled smoothly.“

“the food was great, people were nice and very cute place! it was a little $$$ but you get big portions and endless refills! The sauce? Amazing! I ate the whole container! The food was buttery delicouse and crunchy. I must say it wasnt the best food EVER... but the vibe makes up for it (it was delcious tho!)“

“Love the food, love the service. The atmosphere is great but the smell makes me feel sick

Vegetarian options: You can search up the menu online and it have some vegetarian options

Dietary restrictions: You can let them know about your dietary restrictions“

“Delicious, delicious, delicious!!! We had thai ice tea (free refills), satay, "drunken" noodles, and thai stir fry. Great service, too!“

“Where to start.. well imagine you’re walking in a desert and you see an Oasis. Like we’re talking Wonderwall Oasis. That beacon of hope is Davis Jamba Juice“

“Delicious coffee as always. ❤️“

“Chicken delicious and Cooked Perfectly. Reasonable Price. Easy Parking. Great option for lunch.“

“Great Beer, but your CARD ONLY policy is FKN LAMO - Cash is king... I don't liked to be track of what I do on my spare time.“

“The bingsoo is so yummy! People are so friendly.“
