“Covid really hurt there business they still cant get enough help for inside dining.Great Chinese food I wish they were doing more than just takeout,. I really like the servers they always make sure you get everything needed for a delicious meal.“
“im a commuter student. I stumbled upon this panda once on my way to class, and have come back so many times since. I don’t know what they are doing differently from other panda expresses in my area (Solano AND Napa county) but this Panda Express is the BEST location I have had. On god. I don’t even like Panda Express all that much but i genuinely love the food here. Whoever is cooking….dont leave…. Please. It’s good food, and cheap. The staff is also really nice. I love this panda and express location. Just trust me…even the fortune cookie I got says im honest. I felt god in this Panda Express.“
“Stopped by Tasty Gourmet after a long day skiing on the way back from Tahoe - easy to park, delicious Hong-Kong style pan fried noodle, very friendly and helpful service. Highly recommend for anyone coming through Davis! Family-friendly, easy to bring friends. Will definitely visit again.“
“I found Dah Bao when I was searching for something quick and easy to eat during my road trip. I ordered the pork bun and beef wrap. The pork bun was bigger than I anticipated, juicy, and had the right amount of filling! It is reasonably priced as well. It reminds me of the ones I've had in SF Chinatown. Beef wrap was similar to Chinese-style beef pancake but I did not love the sauce they used.“
“We literally just walked out of lunch after walking in admittedly for food out of convenience, as we were getting our dog's teeth cleaned a few doors down and needed something to eat. The presence of Ma La Xiang Guo on the menu (and the owner's comment that the chefs are from Sichuan) caught our attention, so we ended up ordering a Beef Xiang Guo. We neglected to specify the spiciness, so it came out pretty spicy--too much for the wife (who isn't very tolerant), satisfying for me (who will gladly sacrifice his intestines in pursuit of spice he will feel every step of its journey through his body). The spice did not overwhelm the rest of the sauce, which had a pleasant, herby flavor to accompany the crunch of the lotus root and woodear. I don't know how authentic it was but I certainly found it delicious. We also ordered their green beans with eggplant. I'm used to this recipe being spicy, but either the Xiang Guo masked the spiciness or it was a very mild variant (suiting my wife just fine). It also had the crunch I expect to accompany the green beans, as well as the garlicky flavor we enjoy with these veggie dishes. Lastly, given the sudden downpour of rain, we ordered the corn and chicken soup, which was exactly the mild we were looking for--the right amount of salt, corn, and chicken in broth--to offset the bold flavors of the Xiang Guo. My wife enjoyed their bubble tea as accompaniment, but unfortunately it's a fixed sweetness, which meant this sugarblood couldn't enjoy one as well. But they're a restaurant, not a boba joint, so that's understandable. They also threw in a dessert which my wife seemed to enjoy, but I can't find the equivalent on the menu offhand. Their portions were generous enough that these three dishes were more than enough for two to eat, and we had to get takeout containers for the return trip. We're not up in Vacaville much, and if it we didn't need to have our dog's teeth cleaned, we probably wouldn't drive the hour and a half it took to get here specifically for this place. However, we will look forward to eating here and further exploring the menu whenever we're in the area.“
“If you like spicy food, you must go here! Always parking available which is helpful. A lot of people, so the service was a little slow. Great authentic Hunan style in Sacramento area. Really enjoy the large gallon size of water container at the table you get because you will feel the spice at some point.I recommend getting the eggplant with green beans ($14.95) since it very fresh, cooked nicely, not spicy at all. The spicy flounder fish ($24.95) is indeed SPICY, will numb your mouth but does go away, the sauce does contain a lot of veggie options such as bean sprouts, wood ear mushroom, king oysters which is worth it for portion size and ingredients in the meal. Dan Dan noodles ($12.95) were alright, just mixed in with diced pickled mustard greens. Overall, the food was spicy and fresh.Parking: Plenty of spots“
“Stopped by on the way back to San Francisco from Tahoe. It was much needed after a weekend of snowboarding, booze, and not eating enough nutrition in Tahoe. Scarfed my face with a bowl of malatang - you need to order AT LEAST 7 things in your bowl. It was healing and delicious!! Could see why this spot could be a hit in a college town. Perfect for your hangovers or if you need a warm bowl of soup. The inside has handful of seats and there is tons of street parking available. Would recommend if you're in area and need something!“
“siomai was so good…But the best was the service, an elderly couple came in and they both looked unsure on how to order, the male cashier approached them and asked them to have a seat and instead of making them stand in line to order, they served the elderly couple from their table. Very rare nowadays to see this and to see this from a very young man was very impressive. These 2 male cashiers’ parents should be very proud to have amazing kids and the owner of this location should be very blessed to have these kids. More power!“
“I ordered take out on a Tuesday afternoon, first visit here since I retired from UC Davis 8 years ago. Unfortunately, the general chicken - my favorite dish - was AWFUL. Chicken was batter fried rather than breaded like in most kitchens. It was definitely crispy if that was what you wanted, but the chicken itself was so overcooked that it was as dry and chewy as JERKY. The sauce was barely a glaze on the battered chicken and what little there was lay in a gloppy puddle at the bottom of the container and tasted almost burnt. On a positive note, the green bean pork was GREAT, garlic eggplant and chicken chow mein were really, really good, too. And everything was still hot when I got home 30 minutes later! The little lady who drives the show was charming and helpful - no complaints there. She made everyone welcome. They just need to figure out how to fix general chicken!“
“Yelp elite who lost access to her old account so I'm starting fresh! Gave this new chengdu style hot pot place a try & here are my first impressions: Broth: their beef broth is very spicy (even the medium was spicy). We initially asked for the spiciest level (level 3) but the waiter was very persistent on getting a medium. The Tom yum broth was a bit spicy but mild enough for me to enjoy as a non-spice person. The broth had good flavor! Sides: the veggies and meat are a bit expensive for the potions. If your are ordering the veggie platter it comes with 3 pieces of corn (something to note if you don't want excess corn) The service was really good & the workers were very nice. I would come back again!“
“Excellent food and service. Without a doubt the best chinese food ive had in this area. Absolutely delicious. We ordered one of the 4 entrée family meals (there is five of us), and it was more than enough. Large portions; plenty of leftovers. 5/5 stars.“
“I love coming here there’s a sweet lady that always helps me and she’s so sweet and cuteThe interior is so big and nice the areas are clean and they serve a lot of fresh authentic foods here. Support small!!!! Try out the unagai bowl :D it’s so good and a reasonable price“
“First time ever having a hot pot and I really enjoyed the Korean Army, crispy potstickers, salad sampler and Rose Green Milk. Atmosphere and staff were great as well. Definitely coming back!Vegetarian options: One hot pot dish with tofu available, salad sampler is all veggie too .“
“We tried 4 different varieties of dumplings, and the Pork Chive was our groups favorite. Sitting out on the patio was such a wonderful casual way to enjoy Downtown Davis wine we ate! Plus the service was fantastic!! Love those sweet ladies :)“
“Portion sizes insane for the price very tasty only thing is you can’t add fried egg to specials have to pay full price but otherwise very niceSooo worth I liked the crispy pork and the vegetables and people were friendly and if u go here BUS UR OWN TABLE AND MAKE SURE TO SEPARATE COMPOST AND TRASH AND TUCK IN UR CHAIR ??“
“Pretty authentic flavors.We were a big party of 13 and at the end they gave the remaining 5 of us free soup. Fried rice is nice texture, pretty decent spicy dishes here. Coming from the bay, it's average food for the price of around $16/dish.Also, if you like walnut shrimp, it's good here.“
“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.“
“First time coming here, there was no wait; we came on a Thursday afternoon. Immediately we were seated and it took us a while to order but the waiter was really attentive and asked us if we had any questions. I only ordered the chicken and pork skewers since I wasn't too hungry but I came with other individuals that ordered more. I like the concept of this restaurant, the concept isn't unheard of to me but I haven't experienced it until now. It took a bit for the meat to cook but since I wasn't that hungry I didn't really mind if it took longer. The meat was small but I expected that. Food was good, I liked the short ribs and pork the best. At first I wasn't too sure what was good tbh. I think something that they could incorporate is adding some sort of symbol next to menu items that are habitually ordered to let customers know which ones are good options. Would come back if I'm craving it but other than that it wasn't anything too special.“
“No take-home container needed, I'll just go home and take a food-comma nap. Had the General Chicken which comes fried rice and chow mien, egg soup and a egg roll- all was served by Amy who was prompt and friendly. Not sure why this place doesn't have a better total rating “
