We walked in and weren't sure if we sat ourselves or not. A server came out and showed us to a table with menus after a minute. It did take a little while for her to come back and take our order. We each ordered an XL bowl of phở ($18). I got the flank steak (tái) and she got the vegetarian (chay). The phở was delicious! The ratio of meat to noodles was appropriate. The add-ins (beansprouts, basil, lime and jalapeño slices) were the perfect amount for 2 bowls. We didn't eat the jalapeños, but we didn't leave anything else on the plate. I hate wasting food. I read that the service here is what is lacking. Our server came by twice to check on us, but didn't refill our glasses until I asked. She was the only one working the floor while we were there. It was busy enough that the noise level was high at times and then it lulled to just us talking. She didn't clear away our bowls and wasn't super attentive, but we didn't mind because we were catching up. As we were getting ready to leave, another worker came in, but the no one came out in the front for at least 10 minutes. One couple came in, sat down, looked at a menu and then left because no one even acknowledged them. Overall for us, we had a great experience. Food was yummy. Service was good for us since we didn't need much. Ambiance was elegant, but not. I'll be back for another bowl of phở.

My new favorite place for pho. I've never had a bad or off batch so far. I used to go to Pho Tasty…read morebut the last few times I've been, their broth was very off to the point I was skeptical to eat it. I visit this location whenever my bf wants an Ali Baba's burrito. What I like is that my bf will order his burrito and he will meet me inside this restaurant and the staff never have an issue with him joining me. I always order #11 (steak and tripe) and ask for extra cilantro. For ~$13 a bowl, it's definitely worth it. Also cheaper than Pho Tasty. But most importantly, I appreciate the service. I went there today and there is an older man who seated me, had a smile on his face the entire time, and even brought out another fan without me asking. My only critique is that the seating and surrounding areas could be a little cleaner. Sometimes I see food crumbs or stains and once a spiderweb with a spider near the booth.

I've had this same dish in many cities and always delicious except at Pho King 4. The chicken truly tasted awful. It tasted like days old freezer boiled chicken with a strange orange color. It had absolutely no resemblance to grilled meat. It was truly gross. Never again will I go there even if it's the only place open! . Nothing worse than paying for and expecting grilled meat only to get something so disappointing. I usually don't post but the food was so extremely bad I have to warn others. If the cook was sick that day, they should have just closed, not serve something that bad.

My Burma downtown is doing the most in the best way--great location, solid vibes, and service that actually feels like they want you there (rare, honestly). Everything is super veg-friendly with plenty of swaps and mods, which I always appreciate because some places act like removing meat is a personal insult. Fun fact: Burmese cuisine is one of the only Southeast Asian cuisines where fermented tea leaves (yes, edible tea salad energy) are a legit staple. Would absolutely come back, preferably hungry again so I can over-order like I have no self control.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed all of them and would recommend both to anyone in the mood for dumplings. The place itself has good seating options both inside and outside!

I've also tried their Sweet and Sour Chicken, General Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Fish with Black Bean Sauce, Pork and Green Beans, BBQ Pork and Snow Peas, Broccoli Beef, Combination Pan Fried Noodles, Salt and Pepper Fish, Salt and Pepper Pork, Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice, Beef Chow Fun, and even some of their dim sum items like egg tarts. There are several tables and self-serve water if you want to dine-in. Ordering ahead by phone is also easy, they're open until 9:30 PM daily. There are a few parking spots right in front but shared with the Chevron gas station.

When I have gone in they are very nice and because it's in a tucked away area it's pretty quiet. The food is great, but the 5 spice beef noodle soup absolutely slaps and is worth the trip if you enjoy this entree. Most of the time when you order a soup like this it can be loaded with gristle and fat, but not here. They load you up with pure meat here, and I'm here for it. As for the other food, my kids love the wontons and pot stickers. The fried rice is great, I feel like they add more egg than usual and I'm down for that. Their other soups are great too, but it's no beef noodle soup.

I went from a thin top to a medium weight sweater. We arrived in Davis I grabbed my jacket to pair with my sweater. Today was a day spent exploring Davis to see the California Conference for the Advancement of Ceramic Arts (CCACA). What a great Conference. We come each year for this Conference and explore Davis every time we are here. After exploring the first building of the show it was coming on time to eat. We looked around the current shopping center and my husband didn't see anything he was craving. He said we'll go more into town and look for a noodle place. He said he remembered one from our last visit, down one of the alleys. Walking up the street we saw a couple of advertisements. A sandwich board was on the sidewalk for Davis Noodle CIty, the exact place we were looking for. The little Noodle Shop in the alley. We weaved through the other businesses, past the dumpling restaurant, past the outdoor seating and to the front door of the Davis Noodle City Restaurant. The out door seating looked really welcoming, but it was chilly out so we opted for eating inside with the other table that was occupied. There were 3 parties eating outside when we arrived. When we walked inside we were greeted and told to take any table. We choose a table in the corner. The menus were under the glass table top, keeping it clean and easy to read. Each place setting had its own copy of the menu. After looking at the menu, remembering what was offered on the sandwich board in front, and cross referencing it with Yelp Reviews we started ordering. We opted for the Five Spice Beef Noodles, and I asked if that was a good option and she said it was their top seller. The Yelp Reviews were only ok for that dish, but I took our chances. The second dish we ordered was the Dan Dan Noodles She tried to upscale us to the one with vegetables, but that dish was a cold dish so we when for the standard Dan Dan Noodles. Both dishes came out quickly. The Dan Dan noodles were not spicy as I anticipated, which was good, I wasn't really looking for spicy. I liked the flavor and realized that if you mixed it up there is a sauce on the bottom that is really tasty. Dan Dan Noodles ($8.25 a steal) is a solid dish and I highly reccomend it. It's a great bowlful of noodles. If you are hopping for other ingredients you are out of luck, it's 100% noodles with a sprinkling of peanuts on top and a sauce on the bottom. The Five Spice Beef Noodle Soup ($12.75)was as described in the reviews. It comes with American Broccoli and carrots. The beef is so good it melts in your mouth. The broth is minimal and lacked flavor. I'd think that it's advertised as Five Spice that it would have more flavor. I don't reccomend it if you are looking for a strong flavor. If you are looking for great meat, that melts in your mouth, but is also a little fatty then you have the perfect dish. Both dishes came with fresh noodles, none of those dried and rehydrated noodles that some places serve. The noodles on both dishes were different and pleasant. I highly reccomend their fresh noodles. Customer service was good. She came to check up on us and was pleasant. Parking is street parking. And they have a bathroom on site that is clean and well stocked.
