This was my first visit back to Tea 4 after about 7 years. I have been to Tea 4 many times in…read moreSacramento area. MANY TIMES. HUNDREDS OF TIMES. No matter the location the service was the same. Well here today, I am in Fairfield, and thought, you know what I'll get some Tea 4, it's been awhile. I ordered pearl milk tea with extra boba and the condensed milk buns. First of all. I'm not one to argue with staff, because for me, that's not my battle. I just won't shop there again. I will leave a review though. The milk tea had no tea. It was just milk with sweetener and boba, but for some reason even though I didn't order it, they added some kind of popping strawberry. I quadruple checked my order, the ticket on the cup to be sure there wasn't some kind of horrible confusion. Nope ! It was definitely the order I've always gotten, hundreds of times. I've tried many things from here, and this is my favorite order. I thought about complaining but honestly it isn't worth my time. Not sure if the people working are new ? Or if they do this all the time. Second of all, my bread tasted like shrimp lol. Strongly. I've had this bread before many times, as well as the shrimp. Not sure if they use separate oils or if they just need to change the oil but. Pretty much I left extremely disappointed with milk boba and strawberry pearl, no tea was added into the mixture, and like I said, I didn't ask for these strawberry pops. Maybe it's a hit or miss? My experience was the WORST. They weren't even friendly either. Do not come to this location, in my opinion and my own experience, I will never come here again.

You pick your hot pot, spice level, and side (pasta/rice), and of course you can add on items like dumplings, fish, etc. I opted for the beef hot pot, no spice, no seafood, no cilantro and a side of dumplings. The presentation is so fun. Your hot pot comes out with its own burner and is chock full of things like tofu, crispy tofu skin, vermicelli, corn, cabbage, beef, etc. I will say that this was entirely too much food for myself, and if I went back to a place like this, I'd def think about sharing with someone. The dumplings were good, the broth was rich, and the beef was thinly sliced. Service was great. Our server came over multiple times to check on us, refill our drinks, etc.

We also tried a few appetizersz Our food arrived fast and was piping hot, just how it should be. It was a really busy night, but the service still kept up and the overall experience was great.

They have bathrooms if you need them and a surprising amount of seating as well! There's a lot on their menu to choose from, didn't get a Chance to try the food but will be returning to try that. It all looked and smelled really good while there The staff were very nice and quick to make our drinks. They have self ordering kiosk in there as well. The drinks were very good! Really enjoyed their tapioca! Super soft and delicious, with good texture! They offer a happy hour which for most boba shops, I've personally never seen. So I thought that was unique and might have to take advantage of that if with a group. Loved the way thy prepared our drinks as well! All In all will be returning to this place very soon!! Would recommend it to anyone In the nut tree area looking for some good boba drinks!

I went from a thin top to a medium weight sweater. We arrived in Davis I grabbed my jacket to pair with my sweater. Today was a day spent exploring Davis to see the California Conference for the Advancement of Ceramic Arts (CCACA). What a great Conference. We come each year for this Conference and explore Davis every time we are here. After exploring the first building of the show it was coming on time to eat. We looked around the current shopping center and my husband didn't see anything he was craving. He said we'll go more into town and look for a noodle place. He said he remembered one from our last visit, down one of the alleys. Walking up the street we saw a couple of advertisements. A sandwich board was on the sidewalk for Davis Noodle CIty, the exact place we were looking for. The little Noodle Shop in the alley. We weaved through the other businesses, past the dumpling restaurant, past the outdoor seating and to the front door of the Davis Noodle City Restaurant. The out door seating looked really welcoming, but it was chilly out so we opted for eating inside with the other table that was occupied. There were 3 parties eating outside when we arrived. When we walked inside we were greeted and told to take any table. We choose a table in the corner. The menus were under the glass table top, keeping it clean and easy to read. Each place setting had its own copy of the menu. After looking at the menu, remembering what was offered on the sandwich board in front, and cross referencing it with Yelp Reviews we started ordering. We opted for the Five Spice Beef Noodles, and I asked if that was a good option and she said it was their top seller. The Yelp Reviews were only ok for that dish, but I took our chances. The second dish we ordered was the Dan Dan Noodles She tried to upscale us to the one with vegetables, but that dish was a cold dish so we when for the standard Dan Dan Noodles. Both dishes came out quickly. The Dan Dan noodles were not spicy as I anticipated, which was good, I wasn't really looking for spicy. I liked the flavor and realized that if you mixed it up there is a sauce on the bottom that is really tasty. Dan Dan Noodles ($8.25 a steal) is a solid dish and I highly reccomend it. It's a great bowlful of noodles. If you are hopping for other ingredients you are out of luck, it's 100% noodles with a sprinkling of peanuts on top and a sauce on the bottom. The Five Spice Beef Noodle Soup ($12.75)was as described in the reviews. It comes with American Broccoli and carrots. The beef is so good it melts in your mouth. The broth is minimal and lacked flavor. I'd think that it's advertised as Five Spice that it would have more flavor. I don't reccomend it if you are looking for a strong flavor. If you are looking for great meat, that melts in your mouth, but is also a little fatty then you have the perfect dish. Both dishes came with fresh noodles, none of those dried and rehydrated noodles that some places serve. The noodles on both dishes were different and pleasant. I highly reccomend their fresh noodles. Customer service was good. She came to check up on us and was pleasant. Parking is street parking. And they have a bathroom on site that is clean and well stocked.

I am usually a defender of these kinds of restaurants --- slightly below average rating due to poor…read moreservice is the mindset I try to approach them with. Unfortunately, this place has both bad service and food is not great. 2 stars for the price. Food (3/10) - I don't know how to describe it outside of the fact that it's just bland. I got the "Marco Polo noodles" which is just Chinese jia jiang mien. Let's start with the positives. I liked the noodle texture; it had a nice spring and were thick for a decent chew. Now, onto the bad. You could just tell that the noodles would be bland just by a look and smell. The smell of the bowl wasn't one of fragrant stir-fried pork but it actually smelled like starchy water. The sauce was super watery and had no flavor and I don't think there was even ground pork in the noodles. From what I could tell, it was some diced up mushroom and then black bean paste, without black bean flavor might I add. I had to add a GENEROUS amount of soy sauce and chili oil to make it taste decent. Honestly, I'd say it's pretty hard to mess up this dish as a whole and there's a lot of leeway on flavor but I have not tasted something that bland in a while. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have the thai tea. This thing was so sweet that it was borderline undrinkable. I had to wait for the ice to melt in the drink before it was bearable and even then, it still left this residual sticky taste in my mouth. Also it's 4 dollars for canned thai tea; she grabbed it out the fridge. The only sort of saving grace of this restaurant is that it's relatively cheap. $12.50 for a good portion of noodles might convince me to go back(?) VERY BIG maybe though. I might want to try their soup noodles. Service (5/10) - It didn't really seem like she wanted me to be there. She kind of just sat behind the counter on her phone with an Airpod in the whole time. She was just on her phone the whole time and overall inattentive. When she was, she was just asking if I was ready to order (twice in the span of under 3-ish minutes). Ambiance (6/10) - Eh. It was just kinda weird. The lighting was dingy. Also didn't like how they left dirty tables around (clearly looked like they had been there for a while). Overall, probably wouldn't visit again. Might give it a second chance but food for price was pretty good. Unfortunately, bad food for good price is a no-go for me.

I used their online ordering system to set up a pickup, and the whole process was a total breeze--my food was ready exactly when I expected it.

I also tried the Katsu Curry, and I was actually surprised by how crispy the chicken stayed even after the drive home. The curry sauce was rich and had such a great flavor. I couldn't resist getting some boba too. I went with the taro and classic milk tea, and the pearls were exactly the right amount of chewy. Also, I have to mention the little duck mascot on the cups. I think it's the cutest thing ever. I'll definitely be making this a regular spot for when I want a solid meal!

We got their house chow mein waterlogged and very flavorless. Then we got The spicy wontons with some sort of mystery meat on the inside. We both spit up those because they were so disgusting huge waste of money. We were also informed that their food is very frozen when we asked for the orange chicken. Most of the food taste like it's been frozen. I'm the kind of person when I go to a restaurant I always eat my leftovers later. Nothing was worth keeping later cause it was all disgusting. We barely ate enough of the chow mein to make a satisfied because it was so gross. The female was snappy at everybody. The guy was fine. Their machine out front is horrible to use. It's frustrating and it keeps kicking you out of the item when you try to order.. It doesn't load fast enough so you can't see any of the images. It's absolutely terrible. Then to top it off when we tried to pay, it wouldn't let us it kept getting stuck over and over we had to actually ask them to ring us up through the register. Now for the Boba, we got the peppermint tea, which is fine and we got the taro milk tea, which is actually really really good. I would definitely come back for the drinks. Now the actual Boba itself is very hard and nasty clearly not freshly made. Keep that in mind when you order the Boba.
