    I had to come back to this restaurant to not only redeem my coupon for veggie spring rolls but also to get full size portions of some of my favorite dishes! I love all the plants inside. There's a lot of them! This adds life to the already beautifully decorated restaurant! I had time to kill before my school's open house. I decided to come check out this restaurant and order tofu, chow fun and the spring rolls. Everything was made fresh to order and I didn't have to wait long to receive my food. I went in a little after 4 PM and was able to place my order promptly and swiftly. There was plenty of parking out front and it wasn't that busy at all. There were many online orders for pick up and I love that they have a system where their food was kept in warm bags and easily acceptable for the food. Pick up drivers to come get their orders. The guy who checked me out and made sure I got the food was very nice and thorough. I can see me coming back here again, whether it be to dine in or to order to go. I highly recommend checking this place out, especially if you love Chinese food.

    Beef roll
    Anna T.

    Take out review. I order dandan noodles, beef roll, and brown sugar rice cakes. I like the authentic options on their menu. Restaurant was pretty busy and decorated for lunar new year which was nice. Dandan noodles were very flavorful - almost a bit too salty tbh. The numbing heat also layers a good deal so at one point I tapped out. Wish there was more pork / peanut to have more complexity but the overwhelming flavor was chili oil. Beef roll was a little dry overall. I liked the herbs rolled in with the beef but probably would not order that again. The rice cakes were friend well not too greasy and the brown sugar sauce was yummy. I'll be back to continue trying their authentic dishes. Great to have this option among so many Chinese-American options. They are making sure to cater to the international students at UC Davis and we all benefit :)

    Couples Delight and spicy boiled fish

    Service was great. Food was great. And they have lamb!! Awesome eatery! Great place for family and bros. Ambiance was nice. Nothing bad to say. Only good things. Must try. This sichuan style restaurant is good for this canto boy! (But only if you can tolerate spice) Letter of Recommendation: A

    Sesame chicken
    Tanya B.

    This was the first time I've tried this place... we ordered food to go which is always nerve wracking as to if the food will still be hot and fresh... Thankfully it was piping hot! I ordered the sesame chicken. The chicken was lightly breaded and still very tender but the sauce was super bland. I was totally let down when it came to the flavors that covered the chicken it may as well have been just water... super big let down on flavor... someone else got the kung poa chicken I did try a little of that, way more flavorful. If I try this place again I'll definitely be ordering that.

    My friend recommended that we come and try this Chinese restaurant in Davis and it did not disappoint. The restaurant was decorated nicely and had a lot of tables. We ordered 4 dishes and it was more than enough to serve 5 people. We ordered the Mongolian beef, wonton, tomato egg soup, and the szechuan fried rice. Everything was delicious.

    This restaurant selling not fresh ,smelly meat . Also they refused to return order . We have ordered 6 different dish . When Spicy lamb chop coming up to the table I immediately asked the server to return the order . Cause it's smell bad , also the meat it's black color . During our dinning time they have two different server come up asked me to take to go of the lamb 3 time !!!It's crazy, the food was disgusting already they can't stop ruining our dinning time . In the end ,we still paid for the disgusting lamb chop we didn't even touch. Selling price was 26.95 $ .Oh , well ,we paid for our experience, I hope no one else need to pay for that again ! It's coming sense on a sat they only have 33 table . How can you expect they have all food fresh ? I hope this 26.95$ make this owner rich .

    If you are looking for authentic Chinese food, don't even bother.. this is 0% authentic This is called "小炒肉" IMAO I wonder if the chef has ever been to hunan or ever even had 小炒肉 before

    Spicy broiled fish
    Susan B.

    Was in the Davis area with my sister and friends. Decided to stop by this place for lunch. Came here Saturday around 1pm and they were not too busy. Got a table right away. They offered 2 different menus. Hunan and Szechuan. We opted for the Szechuan menu. Spicy broiled fish: the fish was silky and big chunks. A bit too spicy and greasy for me. Salt style fried pork belly: I thought this was a deep fried dish but it wasn't. It is actually a stir fried pork belly. It was good though. Just a kick of spice. Premium beef with pickled vegetables: pickled veggies were crunchy and refreshing. Beef was a bit dry. Looked like a noodle soup especially since there were clear noodles included. Beef chow fun: this was my fave! It had an excellent charred taste which I really like. Noodles were super soft and tasted like freshly made. Beef rolls: beef was a bit dry but the rolls were good. The skin was light and fluffy. Service was super quick. The food took about 10 mins to come out. Portions were huge! Food was good. Prices a bit high but everything is expensive now.

    Whoa, this place is cool, literally and figuratively (when we walked in, it had to have been around…read more60-something degrees in there). The entire place is decked out from top to bottom in their "shipwrecked" theme. They absolutely nailed the decor, it was fun constantly finding new details to look at. There are plenty of cute little spots to hang out with friends, whether you want to be out in the open or tucked away somewhere more secluded. If you're in Davis, you'll just have to see it for yourself. Bryan was our bartender, and he was great about helping us celebrate our birthday girl. He treated her to the standard 21st birthday shot (you know the one, the sweet shot you're supposed to take with no hands). After that, we ordered a Moscow Mule, a vodka soda, and an IPA. Oh, and in case you're wondering, they don't have any beers on tap. Would 100% come back here.

That said, our experience was noticeably impacted by the host. From the moment we walked in, interactions felt more focused on what we couldn't do rather than helping us feel comfortable or welcomed. I was initially told my dog wasn't allowed, which was later clarified when I explained he is a service animal, but subsequent interactions continued to feel corrective rather than hospitable. It stood out because every other staff member we interacted with was warm, social, and inviting, which made the contrast pretty stark. One practical note for future guests: if you order wine, plan to finish it there. They do not offer cork-and-carry, so splitting a bottle only really works if you're prepared to drink a good amount on-site. I'm rooting for this place and hope this feedback is helpful. With a small adjustment in front-of-house approach, this could easily be a fantastic addition to the local bar scene.

My husband and I were dressed up, and it was fairly obvious that we were not college students. After breaking the ice and mentioning that it was my first visit to the Davis location, while my spouse had been there a few times before, the employees became more relaxed and accommodating. I appreciated their friendly service and the generous portion of the Kava Cloud Breaker. The Davis location offers plenty of flavors to choose from, which made for a great experience. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area.

The Cloudbreaker immediately met my taste buds with bitterness and then left my tongue completely numb for several minutes. Perhaps those sensations would have paid off if they were followed by a calming or THC-like effect, but I didn't experience any change in mental state. The comfortable atmosphere saves this establishment from 1 star. Dim lights, leather couches, chill music, and colorful tiki wall art make for a decent study spot or date night. However, if you're hanging out at a business, you gotta support it, and to support it, you gotta buy something -- I can't see myself buying anything kava-related with any ounce of enjoyment. Surely there must be some variation of a kava drink that tastes delightful. I don't want to spend any more money finding out though.

We headed over to G Street WunderBar located on G street in downtown Davis. We ended up parking on the street-so many parking spots in Davis-so it was no problem.

I asked the bartender lady and she pretty much verified that it gets nutso in there on weekends. This bar has lots of tables and multiple rooms,so they have capacity for many people. They have multiple pool tables and video games in the back room,along with an entirely separate bar back there. They have a big screen projector screen and many small TVs along the bar to accommodate anyone wanting to watch any live sporting event. The Happy Hour here is pretty solid as well,$5 drinks were available. I heard the food here is pretty decent but we weren't here for that-maybe next time. My favorite part of this bar though easily was the bartender-She was such a breath of fresh air,so much personality and her hockey knowledge was amazing-she really made my visit to this bar quite enjoyable. In closing, If you ever find yourself in downtown Davis and need to kill some time or just want a quick drink,don't hesitate to drop by G Street Wunderbar-it's a good time.

As my son is screaming and heaving a full meltdown over shoes now, the manager continues to apologize because there were possibly glass shards on the ground in his restaurant. If that is the case, maybe someone else should be notified as that is a serious safety hazard and my son would get cut anyway as he has sandals that expose his feet, as did my daughter. I will never eat here and will make sure to let all my friends with and without kids with disabilities to never eat here. What an unacceptable excuse this place made me and my family feel.

Instead, our experience was ruined by the owner, Gordon Langstaff, and his completely inappropriate behavior around a small child. My son, who is three and on the autism spectrum, briefly picked up a loose electrical cord that was lying on the ground under the patio stairs (I have a photo of how exposed it was). Instead of calmly addressing the situation, Gordon walked over in a rude, irritated tone and said, "Can you do something?" I told him I was already handling it and redirecting my son, but as he walked away he started cursing under his breath, using foul language that was clearly audible right next to my child. There is no excuse for swearing like that in front of a three‑year‑old, especially when the unsafe cord was left out in the open by the restaurant in the first place. Whether or not my son is autistic, families should never be subjected to hostility and foul language from the owner of a restaurant. If you offer outdoor seating and leave cords and other hazards accessible, you should expect children to be curious and respond with basic courtesy, not anger. The food itself was mediocre, and after that interaction it honestly didn't matter. This was supposed to be a special birthday outing, and his attitude and language completely ruined it.
