    Had dinner here with my sister recently and was really impressed. She recommended it, I've never heard of it before. It's a smaller restaurant that's open pretty late. The service was good, very welcoming. We started with calamari. I liked it, she gets it every time she comes. We ordered the salmon lover roll, monkey roll, a hand roll, some mixed nigiri and miso soup. Everything came out really good. I'll definitely be coming back :)

    My friend and I shared the Sushi Combo for $24, and it was A LOT. Good quality fish. We went there very late at night, and I like how they are open until 12am! I think that this is owned by a family, and there are only a few workers. Service can be slow at times, but I didn't mind. Perfect for late night cravings for an affordable price.

    I've been here a couple times and tried four different rolls. I would say overall their non-raw sushi is way better than the raw stuff. The rice doesn't have a strong sushi vinegar flavor but the texture of the grains or rice actually is not bad. Panda: B+ I actually enjoyed this roll a lot. Cream cheese is not for everyone but when it's deep fried, how can you not like it! The spicy tuna, unagi, and avocado are a good combination. Captain crunch: B+ Love the texture of this one with the shrimp tempura + tempura flake. This one I would actually order again. American: D Wouldn't recommend this roll. It sounded interesting because it has 5 different seafood proteins, but they're all quite bland. Tasted like there was no marinade, salt, or wasabi to season it. Snake: C+ This one also has cream cheese but I thought it was just okay. The ebi on top was a bit bland and didn't add much to the roll.

    Left: Samurai Roll (I think), Right: Seared Salmon

    A small hole in the wall restaurant with dilapidated booths. Our party of 4 walked in on a Sunday around 7:30 pm, and we were seated immediately. Free street parking was easy in the area. Everyone ordered the AYCE sushi buffet. It was around $34.50 per person, which was affordable considering how much we ate. We didn't have to wait long between orders either. APPETIZERS ORDERED - Edamame. We got a small plate to share. I liked how the outside of the pod was salted. - Wonton Soup. The pork and shrimp wontons were meh, but the light clear broth was good. It wasn't too oily. - Shrimp Tempura. Extremely crispy, but tasted average. The batter was thick and kind of dense. I couldn't really taste anything, but at least the shrimp wasn't mealy. NIGIRI ORDERED The rice was good: chewy, a little warm, a little sour from the vinegar, and not too sweet. They also gave more fish than rice. Each slice was thicker than typical for nigiri. Personally, I prefer thinner slices of fish. - Salmon. It was the freshest fish that night, fatty and tasty. - Seared Salmon. This was also good. The warm temp brought out a small amount of "fishiness" in my opinion. It was served with eel sauce, mayo, sesame seed, and roe. - Unagi. It was fatty and soft. The flavor was good, but I would have preferred the eel more cooked. - Tilapia. I tried it because I was curious, but the texture wasn't my favorite. I liked the sweeter flavor of the fish, but not the crunchy texture with stripes of sinew. - White Albacore (I think). It was alright. The taste was good, but the texture was slightly mealy. - Yellowtail. The texture was good, but the taste was a bit fishy. ROLLS ORDERED - Samurai Roll. It was good, it contained fried shrimp, cream cheese, tuna, and sauce.

    Still the best in Davis and s/o Jeremey, he is still a very nice and fast server. He is amazing and still remembers us throughout the years.

    Buisness Hours  *Closed Wednesdays*

    Visited on Sunday, Nov. 2nd 2025 for lunch. AYCE price was $32.99 per person. The quality of the fish was really good for the price, they were a bit cold still, but overall still good. Appetizers came out hot and flavorful. Their restroom was part of the neighboring bar. Service was efficient & attentive despite only having one server, every table (around 6 in total) was full. Was able to get in around 5 rounds in 2 hours (12:15pm-2:00pm). It seems like there's also only one chef preparing the sashimi, nigiri, and rolls, but the food still came out in a timely manner!

    This is the place if you're craving HELLA sushi. Everything we ordered was mouthwatering, except the deep fried roll (personal preference). The fish is fresh and quite generous. I love how they give small portions (3-4 piece rolls) so you can try a bit of everything and nothing goes to waste. The single scoop of matcha ice cream is the perfect portion size for dessert after eating as much sushi as your heart desires. Hole in the wall vibes, but a real gem in Davis.

    Tuna hand roll
    George S.

    A small hole in the wall restaurant that surprised. Place was undergoing remodeling but did not stop the amazing food. The tuna hand roll was huge and the miso soup as well. We tried the dragon roll and it was very tasty and big portion. The server was friendly and quick. He might have been the chef too!

    Part 2 bento box (chef's choice nigiri and cali roll)
    Natalie H.

    I'm pleasantly surprised! The bento box is only $15.50 and the fish is actually pretty fresh here. And BIG slices too. No fishy smell or pre-frozen texture. I also REALLY liked the salad! The vinaigrette was light and coated the greens throughout. Overall, it just seems like a lot of care was put into this meal. Gyoza tastes homemade and if it's not, it's got me fooled. The filling was super tasty and the outside was light and crispy (no thick bready texture). Will definitely order again!

    Grainy, unflavored tuna, smelly mackerel straight from a package, smoked salmon as a piece. Sashimi is rough here.
    Brendan Y.

    Don't go for sashimi, maybe a roll. See the pics. Nasty as it looks. Katsu was super fried but flavorless, but their katsu sauce was good.

    Fish bone that stab my gums!

Every single specialty roll is the same thing but only a small difference. They are all packed with very cheap imitation crab. The pieces are so large and too much rice and so so salty. I felt overwhelmed after my first roll and desperately tried edamame and a handroll to at least feel like I am getting my money's worth. Even the handroll had too much rice. But the nail in the coffin for me was the included gratuity on the check for 15%. I was actually going to already give a 20% which I normally do for dinner services, but since I saw tip forcefully included, I was so turned off I just thought that's it, that's what they expect so that's what they get. I am not gonna come back, but I don't think it's THE WORST I guess? Think of it kinda like the taco bell of sushi restaurants. Everything on the menu is a variation on the same base ingredients just assembled slightly differently. And like, why go to taco bell at this point when taquerias have a better deal for the price? But sometimes you still find yourself at taco bell for some reason lol so that's how I feel about this place...

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. ^~^

    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.

The menu was huge with lots of pictures and options. They put a thing of water at the table, which I appreciated. We both got the Chinese beer, and we both ordered lamb. He got the farmhouse lamb, it was like a stirfry lamb with onions and bell pepper in medium spicy. For medium it wasn't too spicy and it was nice and savory. I ordered a chef special, Lamb Slices with Enoki Mushrooms, mild. Although one dish was medium, and the other mild, they both felt about the same spiciness and I really feel it's because the lamb slices with mushrooms was like a hot pot and so the chili was spicier in here since it was brewing in the broth. The lamb slices with mushrooms was also very savory. The broth was very umami and opaque not thin at all. It also had glass noodles at the bottom of the dish. Tons of mushroom tons of lamb. We felt like we got a good amount of food for the price. And the lamb and both dishes had that good flavor of lamb, not that cheap lamb flavor and the lamb in both was very tender and soft. We also got the pork dumplings, these were obviously made in house. The dough was homemade and the filling both tasted homemade. We each also got a side of white rice. The total before tip was $95, this was for the two lamb dishes, the appetizer, the two sides of rice, and the four beers. It's obviously a hit. We got there at a good time, but by the time we left, it was a full house. It also seems like they do a lot of deliveries. They had a decent looking bar area with wine and other alcohol, I'm not quite sure what. They had three choices of beer, corona, Heineken, and the Chinese beer that we got. I also like that they had candles out, I'm not sure if they sell these, but they were gathered at the end of the bar. They also had walnuts and dry mango that looked for sale. Looking at everybody else's tables too, all the dishes looked amazing. We're so happy that we took a chance and just tried this place out on a whim! It made for a really great date night.

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.

    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

Service: Dakota and Ming were so friendly and so kind, checking up on us at the sushi bar and making us feel welcome. Vibes: always clean and smells good in here! We got two bottles of sake: the unfiltered strawberry sake and the Gekkeikan Haiku sake. and got two Iron Chef Combos (basic, I know but). They were all delicious! Will always come back, always and forever

    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.

    I LOVE Yeti Restaurant in Davis. It is seriously one of my go to spots. My order is pretty basic,…read morebut I get it every single time because it never disappoints. I always go for the butter chicken, medium spicy, and it is so good. The flavor is rich, perfectly spiced, and just hits every time. I also get their garlic naan, which pairs perfectly with the sauce. I usually end up spending around 24 dollars when I add extra rice and garlic naan to the butter chicken, but honestly, it is so worth it. The portions are really generous. It is easily the size of two meals in one, so you can definitely save some for the next day. I have not tried any other Indian food spots in Davis, and to be honest, I do not really feel the need to because this place is just that good. Whether I get it to go or sit down with friends and family, the experience is always great. They are very quick with their service, and even when I order ahead, the food is still hot and ready to go when I pick it up. Overall, this is a spot I will keep going back to. Great food, great portions, and always consistent.

    Gonna bump this back up to a four. Food has been consistently good again. Maybe there were just…read moregrowing pains. The chicken makhani is great again. It's no longer oddly sweet. The chicken Tikka is tasty and a great entry into Indian food if you have never been. Chicken momos were a little spicy, so if you don't like spice at all maybe skip them. Yeti hasn't undergone any deep cleans or refurbishing, it could probably use one. The booth chairs are cracking and my wife found them uncomfortable to sit on. The service is typically friendly, and we've never had issues. The only thing that still irks me is charging for a rice refill while eating in restaurant. I'll take it to the grave that rice refills in restaurant should be free.

    My friends and I came here on a weekday afternoon to try some dim sum. There was plenty of parking…read morein the area along with quick service due the restaurant being partially empty. 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.
