Coconut Combo Tofu Pudding/豆腐花
Kourtney W.

Was craving some type of popcorn chicken and rice so we stopped by here to try out their rice dishes. The restaurant is pretty small but has tables to sit and enjoy your meal. It does get really busy. I ordered the B1 which is chicken cutlet with braised pork over rice. The chicken cutlet was so crispy and crunchy on the outside and the inside was so moist it was soooo good! The rice being covered with the braised pork gave it so much flavor! The marinaded egg was great too! Hit the spot! Loved everything I ate! I also got a coconut pudding jar. The coconut pudding was good! Texture and taste was great! You can keep the jar also. So cute! For my drink I got the salted plum. That was delicious! Definately a good salted plum drink. I will definately be back to try their other dishes!

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.

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.

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.

Purple rice yogurt
泳欣

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!

May C.

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.

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!

I love Davis creamery!…read more Since my freshman year, I have been going to Davis creamery! It is one of my favorite places to bring friends to, or show to people visiting Davis. I like that they choose to make their ice cream in store rather than buying it in bulk or ordering it from a factory. If you are looking for a quick ice cream treat, I would 100% reccommend checking this place out! Everyday of the week, they have some sort of deal or happy hour sale going on which is worth it to schedule into your day. They have many different flavors and toppings and they do allow sampling! For those who cannot have dairy, they also have dairy free options which is why this place is a go to for large groups or people new to Davis! There are options for everyone. One thing to note, they do not have seating inside and oftentimes they have long lines. But they do have seating right outside under street lights. On busy days, staff are alwasy working as fast as they can and they are always happy to help. The best way to avoid the lines? Go before meals or go earlier in the day :) after dinner is always the busiest time. In the spring, you can also submit a flavor you'd like them to make and if it makes it into the running, it will enter the month of bracketology where visitors try new flavors created and the favorite will be added to the menu for a while. If you are new or just stopping by, I would reccommend trying this place! If you find a flavor you really love, you can always take it home in a pint!

Student workers were nice and the place was super packed. Pretty normal ice cream place indoors with mostly outdoor seating. My only gripe was you only get one sample per person so I didn't get to try so wasn't as adventurous.

If you've never had bingsoo/bingsu before, it's a Korean milk-based shaved ice dessert. MandRo offers fruit bingsoo flavors, such as strawberry and mango, as well as non-fruit options, including chocolate, injeolmi, and matcha. If you're not feeling bingsoo, they also have different drinks on the menu you can order. While they don't have as large of a bingsoo selection as some other places I've been to, I've enjoyed all of their flavors I've tried so far. My favorite is the strawberry bingsoo, since the fruit pieces are fresh and pair well with the snow. They offer two bingsoo sizes (regular and large), and the regular is great for sharing between two to three people. You place your order on a kiosk near the counter, and the workers will let you know when it's ready. There is plenty of seating inside as well. I saw they have a new Dubai chocolate bingsoo, which I hope to try soon!

It's a bit of a drive from Sacramento due to the traffic because of the construction. It was worth the drive to try something new. I've never had this type of Taiwanese shaved ice before. At least I think it's Taiwanese. It was described as frozen milk shaved like shaved ice. It's very fluffy and not chunky like regularly snow cones you get at fairs and festivals. This shaved ices don't compare. I loved the texture of the shaved ice in our Mango Bingsoo(Regular). The shaved ice was covered with mangos and dressed with sweetened condensed milk. I wish there was a larger portion of the condensed milk to pour on top of the plain ice when you run out of mangos. The proportions mango to shaved ice was pretty spot on, though you could always use another layer or two of mangos. I just can't get enough mangos. Price- This was pretty pricy and I would say it's a special occasion type of place. In addition i Size- The regular was the perfect size to share with a friend. For two of us the large would have been too much. Restrooms- They have one unisex bathroom in back. Thankfully you don't need a code to go in. It was clean and well supplied. Entertainment- They have a bookshelf of games to entertain you and your friends as you enjoy your sweet treat. Parking- There is plenty of parking as they share a private lot with the shopping center. It's nothing like downtown Davis where parking is scarce and there is a time limit. Menu- they have a large menu, mostly of drinks. They have a smaller menu of desserts. They had several flavors of Bingsoo(Regular) including a seasonal peach, mango, and our friends got the one with red beans and rice cakes. I had a taste and it was really good also. Would I go back? Yes, for a special occasion.

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.
