“Here is a beautiful picture of black garlic ramen, this place is delicious and the staff is super friendly and on point. I'm giving the atmosphere a three-star because the place is very small. Would definitely come back and would recommend to friends.“

“Very good food friendly staff pleasant environment.“

“Best poke around! Always very fresh, delicious sauces, endlessly customizable!“

“You want fresh protein packed meals. Go to Hisui 2. It's been years for my visit back . Husband and I are very busy people and i finally had time to visit this lovely gem in Vacaville. Introducing this to my husband was a wonderful time. Lovely atmosphere, lovely service (Veronica !!!! And staff) and lovely portions 🤪 for a girly that wants the gainz!! 100/100 5 years later still have my heart ❤️
ps. Thanks for making my pre birthday week special.“

“Shabu Shack is definitely one of my favorite restaurants to visit whenever I am in Davis. I always love getting their hot pot (creamy veg & American Wagyu) however this time I opted into getting their new sizzling plates and was extremely impressed. The beef with rice was my favorite but I will definitely come back to try more!!“

“The sushi I had was so fresh and delicious, and the presentation was absolutely beautiful. Restaurant is very clean. We were literally treated like family, so warm and welcoming to myself and my two grown Grandsons, who go there often. They moved to Sacramento but say they haven't found another Sushi place that adds up to AYAMI SUSHI in food, ambiance, and great service. 5 ? .“

“My husband and I visited the new location on Peabody Road in Vacaville tonight ! First off talk about clean ! Greeted by Jonny and his employee whom are extremely helpful and friendly. We order to eat in as well as to go for someone else to have cooked as we finish our meal . The meal was plenty to share and was fresh and cooked to perfection. Go check them out . Welcome to the neighborhood.“

“If you want your money’s worth this is the place. The other reviews are correct, the portions are generous and the employees are extremely kind! Pork Katsu was super crisp, sushi was fresh, tempura tasty and not too oily. They mainly do takeout orders so don’t expect the most handsome dine-in experience, it’s very casual. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a simple sushi spot, it did not disappoint.“

“Love their food Special scallops are amazing“

“Nice Japanese convenience store to grab some snacks and drinks that you may not be able to find in regulars stores. They have a refrigerated section for cold/frozen foods. They do not accept cash, only credit cards/contactless payments. They do charge a convenience fee if you try to charge for totals of less than $5.“

“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.“

“Definitely a quantity over quality place, but not too bad. The sushi is pretty good but it doesn't beat the other sushi places in the area. My group/party usually orders their large portions of sushi, and they never fail to deliver a great portion of sushi. The staff are quick and efficient. Definitely an okay option in the area for sushi“

“This is hands-down my favorite sushi spot in Davis. It's the perfect combination of being incredibly tasty and genuinely affordable, which is hard to find. Highly recommend the summer Roll, Panda roll and veggie crunchy. Truly a gem of Davis!“

“Great quality of food and service“
