Chicken wings
Brandon N.

This is the only stop we always make when we come to Davis. It's Taiwanese comfort food. The braised dishes are always a hit. I ordered braised pork belly over rice and the flavor and tenderness of the pork belly was great. The best part is the sauce from the braising is soooo great on the rice. It's one of those comfort dishes that you can eat and feel at home. We ordered some wings and it was not bad. No breading if any sort. Just straight deep fried as is then tossed lightly in white pepper and salt. Good flavor and served fresh but the wings were pretty tiny. Otherwise good flavor and I'd visit again when I'm in Davis.

One meal means eat for the whole day without stopping.

So many tea joints in this town, I didn't give this place a second look. It's been here for 7ish some odd years and never even considered that it served more than just bubble teas. Place is adorned with symbols, cartoons and slightly odd translations, many of them repeats but amusing to read while dining. We got a couple dumpling dishes and sat down. Service is odd but it works. There are touchscreens and there's also a regular cashier. "eat with love, happy wife happy life" Hope that doesn't offend you. Probably something lost in translation so relax with the sensitivity. Ambiance vibes were minimal because I think it's summer break. If it got much busier (which I'm fairly certain it will) there would be less space to move around, obviously, but I think folks would still pile in. Dumplings were tasty and one came with a dipping sauce. They appeared to have the array of umami sauces (salty-soy, sweet-chili, spicy-cock, bitter-vinegar) along with a shaker of paprika? Don't cry about the dishware. Paper bowls for everyone! I'm sure they had forks somewhere but we never saw them. "Tea won't be drunk, but the person will" HUH? Never tried those "Freshly Made Egg Waffle" things so figured, why not. Got some chocolate guys that look like oversized bubble wrap. Thought it'd be better. Thought maybe there'd be something INSIDE the bubble. Nope. Was just kinda meh. "Sorry we won't able to have discount, but you might able to get the whole store if you hit on the boss" gives off harassment vibes. Hopefully it's just lost in translation. Odd advice kept me reading for the final Yelp-ish words of wisdom: "One meal means eat for the whole day without stopping." But take pictures and write about it.

Interior Signage

Our families favorite place to dine in Davis! The interior is cozy and charming and food... is AMAZING! 1. Honey D House noodle soup: a must each time we come. We usually ask to skip the spam, but everything else in the soup, at least one person in it family will eat. Quail egg, fried tofu, chicken thigh, green leeks, peanuts, sliced beef, thin tofu sheets (and I'm probably missing a few ingredients!) 2. Chicken Cutlet with meat sauce over rice: if we are getting at least two items, this is for sure one of them. Excellent flavor on the peppery batter on the juicy chicken and the meat sauce and pickled veggies are an excellent combination. 3. Zha Jiang Mien: First time trying it. Two of us liked it. May get, again, next time. We usually prefer the blacker Korean style sauce, but this was pretty good, too. 4. Beef roll: think thinly sliced beef with fresh veggies rolled up in an onion pancake. Everyone in the family likes this dish, but we don't always get it (us wanting to try new things). Sad to see you guys leave your Sacramento... come back, PLEASE!

Popcorn Chicken W/ Braised Pork Rice / 盐酥鸡卤肉饭
Mel J.

This small cafe is tucked on a busy Davis street along with other stores. There are few tables inside and one table for outside dining. We waited about 15 minutes until we were seated. The portion is quite generous for its price. We ordered TR1 Juicy Chicken cutlet with braised pork over rice and TR4 Popcorn chicken with braised pork over rice. Both dishes were delicious. The chicken had crispy coating and the meat was juicy. The braised pork was delicious and tasted authentic. The cabbage gave a nice crunch to the dish.

Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice / 秘制台式卤肉饭
Ester L.

Got the braised pork rice and tiramisu and the food is seriously good. Tiramisu came right away and I did too bc it's so high quality, real thick mascarpone and the bottom was well soaked with coffee, overall flavor was really good. $9 is a crazy price but it was very good tiramisu. Workers are very gracious and kind and I love hearing their Taiwanese mandarin. My pork rice came after 10 minutes and the portion was good for the price. Lots of rice and pork fat which was good! Taiwanese cabbage was too tough and bland for me, and I didn't like the sour veggies on the side. The egg yolk in the braised egg was just slightly uncooked which was great. The flavors were overall well-balanced and tasty. Ambiance is very chill, a little dark but clean and welcoming. Cute posters inside and just a nice environment. Highly recommend to try at least once, especially for the tiramisu!

Chicken Cutlet w/ Braised Pork Rice / 鸡排卤肉饭

I miss the location that used to be on Freeport that closed a few years ago. This location doesn't have as many dessert offerings from what I remember but the food is just as good! Definitely would stop by again, the herbal jelly was so refreshing and not too sweet. I had the chicken cutlet over rice and it was flavorful and perfectly balanced. I tried a bit of the soup and also liked it. Will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in Davis.

Very small and cute restaurant at downtown UCDavis. You need to order first before you pick a table. It is pretty traditional Taiwanese food, but the Mango drink which we got is so so. But the rice is great, very juicy and crispy outside. They have lots of variety of desserts too. If we will be in town again, I will definitely give them a try again. Highly recommended if you are looking for Taiwanese foods.

Purple rice yogurt

The purple rice yogurt was so small for $9!!! The price and quality is just not matching. Yogurt was so sweet and purple rice was like risotto's texture

Spicy Beef Noodle Soup / 麻辣牛魔王
Abigayle N.

The food here honestly tastes like a warm comforting hug. The main dishes we had were the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and the Juicy Chicken Cutlet with Braised Pork Over Rice. The portions are good for sharing for a date (but honestly you would probably want your own plate to yourself to take home afterwards LOL). The chicken was super crispy yet maintained the juiciness and flavor on the inside. Definitely a great spot to visit whenever you're in the Davis area and looking for good Taiwanese food!

Cute clean little spot in Davis although the interior is a bit dated that really doesn't matter much to me! Their service was quick and to the point and I wonder if that is why it only has about 3.7 stars on Yelp? Cause heres the thing their food and their desserts are actually pretty bomb and well priced, I got their juicy chicken cutlets w/ braised pork over rice and although I've had better, I've only exclusively had better in the bay area which is far and often times getting the same dish in the bay costs noticably more. Oh and something interesting they do is their tea eggs are actually somewhat jammy and not chalky like in many Chinese or Taiwanese spots. Their tiramisu was a surprise, honestly it would've been perfect if it was had maybe a quarter shot more of coffee, it is not too sweet and has a strong flavor, there were just some drier bits is all. I got their roasted sencha tea latte too, nice and bitter and at 50% sweet this would probably be equivalent to 25% sweet at other places, it was good for me since I honestly don't like my teas very sweet! Overall this place is a 4.5/5 - but if you factor in the price for the taste and quantity, especially for some of the college kids around here, it's a really good deal! P.s. bonus points their messages on their signage are pretty funny

Han-Nha T.

I like the servers and the ambiance is younger and bright, but it can take a while to get food. This type of Chinese food isn't as common in Davis so it's more busy, but if you're not into this, not worth coming back. More a place for snacks, drinks, or maybe rice plates than a meal or soup. Spicy soup and braised beef had too much of an earthy flavor, would not get these again.

Great food and nice, quiet atmosphere. The workers are very friendly and food is served quickly. One of my favorite places in Davis!

Combination Veggie Noodle Miso Soup
Jacquelin S.

I had lunch at Honey D on a Thursday with a friend. Everyone there, dining and working, were two generations younger than us. I was the only Caucasian in the restaurant. I took both observations that the food would be good and a great value. Right on both counts. I ordered the Combination Veggie Noodle Miso Soup. It was delicious, loaded with an abundance of ingredients; at least three types of mushrooms, a quail egg, tofu, peanuts, soe chopped pickle, lettuce or cabbage, and lots of noodles in the broth. The serving size was large and I have enough left over for two more meals. The restaurant is relatively small. One orders at the counter towards the back. The food is brought to your table. There are several tables for two, a couple of tables for four, and a short counter seating area by the window.

2.5/5 stars Nothing…read morehurts quite like bringing family to a restaurant you've spent years hyping up. I've been coming to Farmstead over the years and it was one of my favorite recommendations for those visiting St. Helena. I've sent friends, family and out-of-town visitors here, often raving about how good it was. So when I took my immediate family to Farmstead a few weeks ago, I made a reservation, drove over 40+ minutes from the southern part of Napa Valley and genuinely looked forward to returning. Making reservation online was easy, parking is available (although it can feel like a competitive sport once everyone decides to arrive at the same time), the covered outdoor seating remains lovely, the barn transformed to a dining room with its high ceilings is still a beautiful space and the bathrooms were clean. Unfortunately, the food was simply didn't live up to what I remembered. We started with the cheddar biscuits with honey butter. I expected warm, tender biscuits. Instead each of the biscuits were surprisingly, almost as if they've been left in the oven a few minutes too long. The honey butter tried its best to salvage the situation, but was unsuccessful. We also ordered the fried eggplant which skipped right past golden brown and headed directly into "left in the fryer during a staff meeting" territory. For entrees, two of us ordered the steak frites. The cut of the day was a flank steak and we both ordered medium rare. Mine arrive firmly in the medium-well territory. It's disappointing when your steak lands two doneness levels above what you requested. A friend ordered the grass-fed cheeseburger medium. It also came out well beyond that point, dry and crumbly rather than juicy. He was expecting a burger. What showed up as something closer to a semi-palatable hockey puck. The wood-grilled heritage pork chop was probably the strongest dish at the table. At $52, however, we were expecting something memorable. It was fine. Perfectly acceptable. But "perfectly acceptable" isn't exactly the reaction you're hoping for at that price point. Dessert was a small bowl of stracciatella gelato. That's it. No wafer, no cookie, waffle cone shard, no sprig of mint or garnishment to make it feel finished. I can see wanting to accommodate dietary restriction like those who are gluten-free, but it would have been nice to have an optional accompaniment. We kept the drinks simple. Service was fine. Total bill came out to be about $330 for lunch with tip. What stood out wasn't the cost, but the lack of excitement or something being memorable. You're dining at a popular restaurant in Napa Valley, you're going to be paying a premium. At our table, nobody was particularly excited about the meal they had or interested in taking home any leftovers. Maybe it was an off day. Maybe nostalgia elevated my memories beyond reality. Whatever the reason, this experience felt very different from the Farmstead I've enthusiastically recommended over the years. The restaurant was very busy with a steady stream of people coming through the entire time while we were there, so clearly plenty of diners continue to enjoy it. But based on this visit, I don't see myself recommending it the way I once did. I'm just one customer. Still, this was a disappointing return to what had long been one of my favorites in St. Helena.

It's cute that it's small but it also makes for a very awkward door opening. There was only one other small group, three people, inside and we almost felt like we had to wait outside in order to go in. But we didn't and we squeezed in and it just felt a little awkward and uncomfortable. We both wanted cones so we can walk and eat with one hand. He ordered the vanilla double scoop in the larger cone. It honestly just tasted like regular vanilla ice cream from the store. And the cone felt like a cheaper type of cone. I also wanted a cone, but I mostly wanted the cherry ice cream with a little bit of chocolate on top. This request was not fulfilled. She told me that it was by scoop and could not do that. I feel like there was a way to make this work... Like maybe the last scoop give me a smaller scoop of cherry to account for the little bit of chocolate I would want. But I was just met with a no and no other suggestion. I then followed up and asked if this could be done in the cup, which she said it could be so that's what I ended up getting. The cherry and dark chocolate flavor were both decent but honestly, they weren't the best gelato or cherry or dark chocolate flavor I've ever had. The dark chocolate wasn't dark in my opinion dark. Not to mention this was incredibly expensive. For both of us it was $20, and although he got the double scoop and I got the large it's honestly like a regular portion of gelato or ice cream. So yes, it's definitely on the pricier side and they're way cheaper options even in Davis. It's not bad, but it's not the best. I wasn't impressed by any means. And there can definitely be improvements. We might be back just because of the convenience of it, but it won't be a place that we seek out.

That being said, it's pretty cleaned and well maintained. Now for the food: we ordered the passion grapefruit jasmine tea with aloe, beef noodle soup, the cold noodles with peanut sauce, and the pan fried dumpling. The drink was standard, though a little sweet for my liking. Next time we'll adjust the sweetness to be a little bit lower. The aloe was strangely very mushy and not very enjoyable. The cold noodles with peanut sauce were a little disappointing. I found it to be overwhelmingly, salty, though the rest of it tasted fine. I enjoyed the beef noodle soup more, especially once you added the pickled mustard greens. The noodle texture was not my favorite, but soup was pretty good and the beef was well cooked. Overall, it really itched that scratch and I was satisfied. Both noodle dishes were hefty. It doesn't look like a lot of food because it comes out in plastic containers, but we were pretty satisfied by the amount of food that we got. The star of the show were definitely the pan fried buns. They were super crispy and well fried on the outside, and the inside was delicious. Lots of juice, well seasoned, perfectly cooked in my opinion. To be honest, we were just OK with the meal until we ate these pan fried buns! Will definitely return to try more buns and bowels and some other dishes that they have on the menu.
