“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.“

“Tried Ayame for the first time through takeout. Such good flavor and quality. Can’t believe I haven’t tried this place yet! I’m picky about my salmon nigiri and Ayame’s is bomb, super buttery and melt in your mouth. Also ordered some of their specialty rolls, all amazing! Definitely underrated sushi spot in Vacaville.“

“Juzco has been around since I was in college decades ago. It has outlived Fuji and Davis Sushi Buffet. It's simple, and it known for their lunch buffet.
The last time I visited, I was surprised by the fish quality. I mean, the service is not lightning speed, and the ambience is not superb- but it's really good sushi! I am not surprised to hear the international Japanese students frequent Juzco- maybe it feels a bit like home.
Anyways, I gotta give Juzco another try as it's been a while, but for the quality- I think Juzco is up there. Huku is another quality option if you want a more comfortable atmosphere, and Zen Toro is also an average option as well.
Enjoy!“

“We came in on a Friday around 1:30pm for lunch as my wife wanted Ramen and she has not been to Cherry Blossom before. My son and I came when they first opened a few years back. I never really came back because the food was just mediocre to me. We came here for ramen so my wife can try it and they are closer to my house.
Food (3.5/5 stars):
- Ramen: both the Tonkatsu and the Black Garlic Ramen both had tasty broth,but I had better elsewhere. They did have a decent variety of toppings compared to the other ramen place in town. The medium boiled egg was just that. The other place in town gives a soy sauce roasted egg which is much tastier. Overall, their ramen is good and recommended.
- Bento Box: both bento boxes we got was just fair. The portions are decent for the chicken katsu with tempura, but the teriyaki chicken with the CA roll was a little chintzy (only 4 small pieces of CA roll. Other places give 6 pieces). The CA roll was nothing to write home about, just bland. The dipping sauce for the chicken katsu was just ok, could be more flavorful. The miso soup that came with the bento boxes could be more flavorful, but decent and had some tofu and seaweed. The salad dressing was a sesame based dressing and was pretty good, but could benefit from a little bit more.
- Ika Geso (deep fried squid tentacles): flavorful batter, crispy and not too thick. The dipping sauce was just a basic sriracha mayo, so nothing impressive. I chose to just eat it without dipping in the sauce.
Service/Ambiance (4.5/5 stars): the wait staff were very attentive and the food came out quickly. A little after 2pm, they came by all the tables to announce the last call for the kitchen as they close at 2:30pm and reopen at 4:30pm Monday-Saturday. It's not a big place, so it is best for parties of 2-4 people, but they can accommodate a slightly larger party at the back of the restaurant.
Overall, great service, I would come back for the ramen, but there are better places for bento boxes (only chicken here, no beef or pork) in town. I did not try their sushi, (only the CA roll that came with my bento), so I cannot comment on that.“

“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.“

“Buddy, let me tell you! By far one of the best places I have been to in years. Let me start by saying our server Tara (I think that's how you spell it), was the best server I have encountered in decades. Decades my friend! Sushi was absolutely amazing! The skewer thing was a big hit and everyone loved the pot stickers. The fact that Hisui hit 5-stars in the food, service, and atmosphere criteria should tell you it's great. To the management, give Tara a raise! Employees like her are part of the winning combination of why people will return. I loved it all!
*Note: sadly, I left my phone in the car for this family meal so I didn't get pictures. It was all beautifully presented though and looked delish!“

“Delicious food for a good price, and great service! They were kind enough to serve us even though we came in shortly before closing. The calamari was crispy and well seasoned, and the Fishing Roll was absolutely fantastic and well balanced. Highly recommend it!“

“So generous and delicious!
The rolls were huge, I’ve never seen anything like it.
I was amazed by the generous portions, surprised again by the rich flavors, and truly impressed by the kind and attentive service.
There was so much food that I ended up taking the leftovers home and they easily covered dinner, too.
I just have to say, this place is the best! Highly recommend!“
