One of my favorite sushi places ever, and favorite AYCE in NorCal. I come here at least once every…read more2 months (and I don't frequently go out to eat) because every-time someone visits me, they ALWAYS want to come here. Service was nice, the staff are always very attentive and quick. This is a place that is casual, and I've come here with a huge group before. Anyways, here's my must have list: - King Kong roll - salmon nigiri (lunch) - miso soup - cream cheese wonton

My partner and I decided to try out this restaurant for the first time. We were greeted and we told…read morethe hostess that we were ordering the food out. About less than a minute, the hostess came back and asked us what we wanted to order. We told her we needed another minute. Then about 30 seconds later, the hostess came back waiting for us to order. We felt rushed and she kept hovering while we were trying to decide. We also overheard her talking under her breath in Mandarin or Cantonese - service was subpar. The food was mediocre and overpriced. We will not be returning. We can't speak to the ambiance because we didn't stay to eat.

I just have to leave this super positive review for you guys. You're seriously amazing. I love your…read moresushi. It's honestly the first place that comes to mind when I think about sushi, no question. And just to put it in perspective, I literally drive here all the way from Sacramento. What can I say about the sushi? It's absolutely incredible. Today I tried a new spicy shrimp roll. I don't exactly remember the name, but wow, it was so good. Overall, your sushi is just 10/10. I also noticed you've added drinks since the last time I was here. It's been a while, so I didn't know about that, but I love it. I'm really into drinks like that. And they look just as perfect in real life as they do in pictures. Another 10/10. The only small thing I'd maybe suggest is working a little bit on the interior. But honestly, the atmosphere is still great. It really gives that cozy, homey vibe with a nice touch of Asian culture. I've been coming here since back when Davis Sushi & Fusion was in downtown Davis, and I'm genuinely so happy to see you growing. Your menu is much bigger now, and that's really cool to see. I wish you all the best. Places like this definitely deserve to be everywhere. By the way, I'm originally from Ukraine, but I absolutely love Asian cuisine. It's honestly a hundred times better than any fast food. Customer service: 10/10 Everyone is super friendly, open, and just genuinely nice people. ^~^

While stopping in Davis, we decided to stop at the Anti Mondays pop up inside Davis Sushi &…read moreFushion. It was super crowded and hot inside. We ordered on the kiosk. We ordered the Banana Pudding Matcha & Banana Pudding Vietnamese Coffee. After approx. about 20 minutes to get our drinks. Both drinks were served with scoops of banana pudding on top. They had the perfect lids. They were open so you could spoon the banana pudding or use a straw. My daughter absolutely LOVED her matcha. Unfortunately I found my Vietnamese coffee a little underwhelming. The coffee wasn't the usual strong, full of flavor Vietnamese coffee is used to but the banana pudding was delish.

Came for Father's Day lunch & left mostly satisfied. Luckily I made reservations because it was…read morevery busy that day, as was our waitress who was sometimes around...the other waiters noticed our needs & addressed them.

This review is mostly about about service, or the lack of it. We have been here a handful of times…read morewith a group of 10 to 15, hoping each time that the level of service would improve. Here is what's going on. This latest visit was serviced by Zoran, but previous visits have suffered the same problems. An inordinate amount of time is required to provide everyone with a drink, even though many of our group order only water. The order taking is somewhat chaotic, although it appears that the server is making relevant notes about who orders what and who is together. Then the waiting begins. A few of the smaller items (soup, salad) emerge from the kitchen in maybe 30 minutes, the entrees don't start appearing before we have been seated for more than an hour, often longer. And this was a Wednesday afternoon--we arrived before 5:00 pm--when the restaurant was not near full and we had made a reservation the previous day. The food is generally good, if rather lightly seasoned. But I can recall no inquiries from the server about beverage refills; our requests for this require, again, an inordinate amount of time to fulfill. More than once our server made the trip from the kitchen to our table carrying only a single item, then back again, apparently, for another item that sometimes doesn't appear. When it's obvious that everyone is virtually finished with their food, the only way for us to receive our bills was to flag sown our server who finally appears with several slips of paper and absolutely no idea of who has ordered what, in spite of apparently making notes during the ordering process and delivering the majority of the dishes to our table himself. We finally all received our bills, but about half of our group failed to receive the traditional fortune cookie at all. Here's the thing: this pattern over several visits of the lack of server attention and skill is should be directly laid at the feet of management. Every server has to start somewhere, but the success and future of the restaurant largely depends on the work of the servers; poor service taints an otherwise good experience, even if the food is perfect. Not to mention the fact that servers are the sales people for potential extra revenue, e.g., upscale beverages, deserts, etc. We are reconsidering whether to return here as a group in the future, but over two hours for a meal seems excessive.

Stopped by with a couple of friends for lunch! We ordered calamari, the pan fried pork dumplings,…read moreand the kimchi pork dumplings. The calamari wasn't quite what we expected. It was pretty heavily battered and not too seasoned, but it wasn't bad. I think there is probably better calamari elsewhere. The dumplings were amazing though! Both came out piping hot. The fried ones had a nice crispy exterior and were super flavorful and juicy. The kimchi ones definitely had a kick, but were also juicy and delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed all of them and would recommend both to anyone in the mood for dumplings. The place itself has good seating options both inside and outside! I would highly recommend enjoying a meal outside on the patio on a nice weather day :)

It's just ok. If you're needing dumplings it'll do the trick, but I honestly rather buy frozen…read moredumplings from BaoBao 88 or even Trader Joe's. I hate to say it because the workers are very friendly and I love hearing people speak Canto when I'm homesick. Very casual ambiance, might have a wait to be seated but they take a reasonable amount of time to get your food out after ordering. Have a few vegetarian options as well. It is conviently downtown unlike Yang Kee, but I still dont come back to here. I'm glad they've found their audience and seem to be doing well, though.

Wow! Ascended to my #1 restaurant spot in Davis. Definitely more of an infrequent meal since I…read morewould consider it more on the expensive side. Average dishes are ~20 dollars. Great spicy food and friendly staff. Food (10/10) - The food here is AMAZING! Perfect balance of spice to flavor and every single bite is electric. The sichuan numbing pepper in the Chongqing soup was DELICIOUS. Mix it with some of the white rice and you have a dish all by iteself. The chicken itself had a nice chew and was very fragrant. Loved the texture and flaovr of the vermicelli; nice bounce to the noodles while soaking in all the spicy soup. My one complaint would be that they have soft bones (sign of long boiling time) so be careful of that! Also got the spicy stir-fried pork kidney... don't diss it 'til you try it. Super good, with that nice bit of chew. Take a bite of pepper, kidney, and white rice and BOOM! Perfect bite. **Recommendation: Rice is a key component for the dishes here. Without rice, everything will be too spicy, too savory, and overall too overwhelming. The rice is the thing that helps tie everything together (as it frequently is) Service (8/10) - Good service; nothing notable. Nice people and I think most of them speak Mandarin. Service and seating was also fast. Order of things to come out of the kitchen was a bit strange: soup for the chicken, rice, stir-fry, chicken. Honestly, not that big of a problem but just decided to comment. Price (8/10) - The price here is a bit on the pricier side; $54 for 2 but there were some leftovers (had to make my own rice though). Some of the dishes are more worth than others. The Chonqing chicken was $25 but you got a large bowl of chicken with soup and vermicelli. On the other hand, the stir-fry for $20 was notably padded with vegetables and I would say a majority of the dish was not the kidney. At the very least, the taste of the food compensates. However, this place is likely not a college go-to. Overall, great restaurant that I will be coming back to again (maybe with my parents LOL) or at the very least, would come with a large group as it is more fitting for family style. Highly recommend!

Stopped by for their lunch buffet while visiting downtown Davis. The location is convenient, but…read moreparking can definitely be a challenge, especially during busy hours. The service was great. The lady who seated us was very attentive and welcoming. She quickly brought us fresh naan and kept our water glasses filled throughout the meal. For the buffet price, there was a good selection of dishes, and everything was simple and satisfying. My favorite was the butter chicken. The flavor was delicious, although I do wish the sauce had been a bit thicker. It was a little too watery for my preference, but still enjoyable. Overall, this is a solid lunch buffet and a great value for the price. Friendly service, fresh naan, and decent food make it worth a visit if you're in the area and craving Indian food.

Great service, great foods, great atmosphere, what else can one ask for?…read more We had a party of 9 and in the peak crowds of Davis Graduation. The restaurant was packed and yet service was so incredible. Our server was Emily and she was awesome. Emily was super fast on taking our orders, giving us great recommendations, and was super catering to our party. We had an amazing experience at Mikuni and we're all still thinking about the sushi rolls (I only took some photos of the foods, the other items the rest of our table ordered looked amazing). Overall restaurant is super nice and pretty and the decoration is great. I do think the parking lot is overflowed with how much traffic is there but, worth the wait. If I'm ever in the area again, will definitely be visiting. Overall rating: Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Menu: 10/10 Shop Vibes: 10/10 Price to Overall Dining (POD): 10/10

When I was an undergrad over a decade ago, I would only come here for the lunch buffet, and it was…read moremy favorite lunch buffet to go to. Fast forward to now, my husband, sister, and I decided to come here for dinner because yeti restaurant was closed. For those who haven't been in here before, the best way I can describe this restaurant is dark. Paint is dark, booth are dark. Everything is kind of moody and dark. Definitely not my kind of aesthetic, but does that really matter for this restaurant? No. The service is always fine. Staff is always friendly enough and fast. When we got the food, we were pleasantly surprised, like I said before I have only eaten at the buffet here and that was over a decade ago. While we were eating, we noted that we actually enjoyed the flavors here more than we enjoy the flavors at yeti restaurant. Something about the blend of spices just fits our palette more than the other restaurant. We found that there was an adequate amount of food, they didn't skimp out on meats, and we were overall really happy with our meal. Is it the best Indian food I've ever had? No, but it was really good by Davis standards and consider considering that there aren't a ton of Indian places in the Sacramento area. I think this might be our new go to Indian place now! I'm glad I gave this another shot!

First of all, this spot gets a bad rap sometimes and I think it's because people are used to a…read morecertain regional Indian cuisine and people don't realize the variety of the Indian subcontinent. Kathmandu Kitchen is named after a city in Nepal, so it should be no surprise the food here is Indian and Nepali. While I can't speak to the flavor or authenticity of their momos or other Nepali staples, their curries are extremely delicious and distinct from other Indian restaurants and recipes I've tried. I think the first thing you might notice is that a lot of their curries have a touch of sweetness, and pretty much all of their curries have a consistent texture. They do an amazing job making each curry silky and rich and flavorful. Every dish tastes fresh and unique in their own spice profiles and marinades. I highly recommend the paneer tikka masala, chicken makhani (very similar/the same as butter chicken I think), kitchen masala, and basil curry. Also, their actual restaurant experience is very nice too. The staff is very courteous and professional. The restaurant is large, vibey, and clean. There are two reasons I don't give Kathmandu a 5 star. The first that both me and partner almost always need to add salt to the dish. I could see why someone might write off Kathmandu if they went a few times and wrote it off because they never tried adding salt to their dish. The second reason is that the spice level isn't as consistent as I'd like. Sometimes, asking for medium spice level results in almost no heat, sometimes it borders on too much. Sometimes getting hot spice level is hot but enjoyable, sometimes it's very hot even for me. Mild is consistent but Id guess that's because they simply don't add extra hot chili powder or something like that. Overall, I highly recommend this spot if you love Indian food and want to try some Nepali spins and flavors.
