    The wait staff was extremely rude. We came from a funeral, and the gentleman (taller, older) was upset because we didn't have an EXACT number of people coming from the service. As most know, some trickle away, and some come just for the reception. I told him he was creating an argument, and he responded by saying that he was going home. Our family has been coming to this restaurant since it OPENED in the early 2000's, and we have never been spoken to in the manner. We will never come back here.

    The service is excellent. Not too crowded for a Sunday afternoon. The Lettuce Wrap Chicken is the best.

    Came in around 430pm on Sunday with family. We were quite a large group, table of 13 to be exact and we were seated quick. Not busy yet at 430 but right around 5ish people started to trickle in. Staff was friendly and playful. Everything was quick. They gave us waters, gave us enough time to order, and food came out fast. We were so hungry, I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the food. We order calamari, lemon sliced fish, walnut prawns, string beans with black bean sauce, house chow mein, HK style noodles, pork fried rice, beef with broccoli and steamed rice. Everything was delicious. The fried items came out crispy and not greasy. Everything had great flavor and serving size was good. No complaints here. We're always looking for a good mom & pop Chinese restaurant wherever we go and with good food and fair prices, this is one of them. Will definitely come back to this spot when in the area.

    Good service. Lunch option includes soup, salad and rice. Decent portions and flavors were all there. I love the decor of the place, from the tables to the jade pieces. Great for small or larger groups. I rarely have chow fun because not many places make it good. But this place is the exception. Their beef chow fun was amazingly good. Definitely will be a returning customer.

    One of my favorite Chinese restaurants, been coming here for years! Fast, great service with good vibes and a family feeling. This time we decided to try new dishes and they definitely didn't disappoint. The salt and pepper crab was really flavorful as was the green bean beef. Can't wait to try even more things next time.

    Came here on a drive down from Tahoe and wow so surprised!…read more Good: - Portion sizes are 2-3x what we thought for the special - we got a giant bowl of soup as well as like 5 entrees and it was just $23pp. So pleased but we barely touched 25% of it in our sit down - Loved the fried rice and orange chicken - it's comfort food for sure - The servers and staff were so nice to us! - Fun TVs broadcasting random news around so it's nice after a long drive Bad: - Some of the food was on the oily side Overall really liked this place and the staff and would come again

I ordered take out, one order of house fried rice, one order of orange chicken, and one order of sweet and sour pork. Everything was tasty and looked like it was made from scratch. Was it freshly prepared? Not likely. I was in and out the door in less than ten minutes. No way they could prepare this food that fast. Portions were big enough to serve 3-4 people no problem. The bill was a bit of a sticker shock, about $54 for everything. Would I go back? Probably not. Panda is about a mile from us and the two of us can eat there for $20-ish. This place is on the other side of town. And at Panda I can see the food items before I make a selection. Panda's food doesn't sit around very long under the heat lamps.

Siu Mai: This was classic & well-executed, and there was a strong mushroom taste which I loved. Shrimp Dumplings: These were also classic, flavorful, and fresh. Jelly Fish & Sliced Beef Tendon: I loved the texture and spiciness of the general dish, and they were seasoned well. Beef Noodle Rolls: These were okay in my opinion, but silky and tender. Pan-Fried Turnip Cake: I loved the crisp outside, and it was soft on the inside. It did not feel too heavy and better than other places I've tried. Green Beans: These were slightly oily, but the portion size was generous for the price. Preserved Egg & Pork Congee: The congee was okay, but it was comforting and smooth and still had a good flavor.

    We can into Well Season on a Saturday evening for my son's birthday dinner he chose Well Season…read morebecause he likes their Dim Sum items. We usually. One here at least a handful of times per year. Their food is generally good and their portion size is large. This summer they are running a special (10% off your bill, plus additional 5% if paid in cash). For a Saturday evening, they did not have many diners, two other larger groups, a couple smaller tables of patrons and a couple few takeout orders. The main reason for coming here is for their Dim Sum items, but some items are not available after 2pm. They have a pretty extensive menu for non-dim sum items. Most of their food is pretty good including the dim sum items. Portion size is large, so there is usually leftovers to take home. Today, the service is lacking quite a bit. Had to wave down the server many times during our meal, to order, ask a couple times for water and missing napkins, water refill, didn't check if we needed more hot tea, boxes for left overs, getting the bill, etc. Another ding for them is that we were given and billed for 2 items (chicken buns and steamed long beans) that we Did Not Order. I didn't not complain about it because we were fine eating the extra food, but that was annoying! Overall dining experience was 3/5 stars. Food was a solid 4/5 stars. Service was 2.5/5 stars. There are so many Chinese food options now in Davis. Not sure what's up with the service, but they really need to step that up if they expect customers to keep coming back.
