    Mermaid Sushi is inside of the Davis Coop. I used to look forward to coming here for a quick grocery-store, sushi lunch. There is not much variety, but it is usually pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they don't make my favorite roll anymore. They used to have mini rolls, where half of the rolls had just avocado and half had just either tuna or salmon. When it wasn't pre-made, I would ask the sushi people if they could make them for me. They always said yes, but sometimes there was a wait. I also liked that the mini rolls were $2 cheaper and you get more rolls, even though they are mini. Now, someone new works there and when I asked if he could make the mini rolls, he didn't know what I meant. When I explained, he still was confused. This week when I went, I got the basic salmon and tuna roll. The rolls were heavy with rice. Received a spicy mayo drizzle upon request. Not as good as it used to be in my opinion! Not planning on going back anytime soon.

    Another successful dinner from Mermaid Sushi. Just look at these three delicious trays of sushi. Fresh, Fresh, Fresh.

    Spicy tuna and salmon roll
    Quyen V.

    Sustainable and freshly made to order sushi? Yes please! I got the spicy tuna and salmon roll for $8.99. The sushi was so good, I didn't even need any additional soy sauce to eat it with. The fish was light and buttery, and the rice was soft and chewy. Best sushi I've had in a long time, for such a great price! (+) speedy, great customer service, gave me two extra pieces

    vegetarian platter

    A whole vegetarian platter for $20?! Best deal I've ever seen. You can tell this sushi is made with love, too- super fresh and yummy. When you want to order, call the Co-op and press 0 and ask for Mermaid Sushi. they're also very environmentally conscious which I appreciate :)

    salmon nigiri + rolls

    i love coming here!! its a little pricy for davis sushi but i appreciate how everything is very simple but fresh. nothing is drowning in sauce but you feel really good and clean after you eat it! love love will miss u in davis

    We always enjoy our sushi and the whole experience (from ordering to pick up). I know it's takeout, but the interactions with the owners always feel like they really care about the food and the people. We don't eat out often, but this is the place we eat from the most since we've moved to Davis a year ago.

    Simple, 'Teni Tiny' sushi roll.

Can't believe it took me this long to write a review for My Burma. Long overdue. The food is excellent and I keep coming back. A few dishes worth calling out specifically: the Tea Leaf Salad, Sesame Chicken, Coconut Rice, and the Pad Thai. Haven't been able to get to anything else on return trips. One note if you're a heat seeker -- the Pad Thai doesn't get very spicy, even when requested. I like extreme heat, so factor that in accordingly. Most people will find it perfectly seasoned. On my last visit I tried the black rice pudding with ice cream. Don't skip it if dessert is on your radar. Dogs are welcome on the patio, which is a great perk. One thing to be aware of: the gate can be a little tricky to navigate -- something to keep in mind if you or anyone in your group has mobility challenges. My Burma has my business. Highly recommend.

Service ordering at the counter was friendly & patient as I looked over the menu. I eventually zeroed in on the Zesty Flavored Salmon under the Specials/ Rice Bowls. It didn't take long. Handing me the packed to-go container, I immediately noticed its heft. There was a lot of food crammed in there. As soon as I was back in my room, I peeled open the lid to get at the goodies inside. My 1st observation was that there was lot of salmon. A bunch of fresh veggies too. For being on the menu as a rice bowl, there was exactly the right amount of rice underneath everything else. This definitely was not a case of too much rice being added as an empty calories filler. All in all, it was quite tasty. Indeed, even zesty. & enormously filling. Just a massive bowl of delicious salmon/ veg/ rice w/ a sauce that tied it all together. In this economy, Good Friends Hawaiian Poke is a great value. Whenever I'm hungry in Downtown Davis, I'll be back.

But I ended up going again with a friend and decided to try something different, and I am so glad I did. I got the ahi tuna and salmon, and I fell in love. I used to be one of those people who would not eat raw fish, but after trying their poke, that completely changed for me. Now I always go for the bomb salmon and tuna and add my own toppings, and it is so good every time. The flavors are fresh, well balanced, and just hit in a way the cooked option never did for me. Overall, I am really glad I gave this place a second chance because it completely changed my perspective. If you are unsure about raw fish like I was, I definitely recommend trying it here.

We got there right at opening and the server/hostess, Aurora, greeted us with a warm smile and welcome. There are two choices of spots to sit at - low tables/booths or high top tables with stools. We opted for a low table. I ordered the Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese sandwich with sweet potato fries and my friend ordered the Chinichurri Tri-Tip sandwich with a side salad. When our meals came out, we were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes! I feel like I had a lot of fries on my plate and the sandwich was stuffed with meat!

On the recommendation of the counter staff, I ordered the Chicken Breast Classic sandwich, and I ordered fries with no salt (that's a dietary thing, and a secret way to get fries straight out of the fryer). OMG - the sandwich was almost perfect and the fries were perfect. If I were serving that sandwich to guests, I'd ask if they wanted the chicken breast cold or warmed slightly. As noted from other reviewers, the "sourdough" roll is shaped as a round bun which is not as I thought it would arrive. It also didn't have a traditional sourdough tang or texture. It was good, but not very sourdough. Expectations vs. reality. The service was fast and friendly, the restaurant was clean, parking was easy, and I feel like my meal was priced appropriately.

My wife used the restroom while I waited near the entrance. Once we both walked in the manager (around 6'2", beard), from behind the counter told us very abruptly: "If you want to order anything it has to be to go, because we close in 10 minutes. If you want fries, order them now because they take 10 minutes to make." The way this was communicated was not professional or welcoming--it came across as rude and dismissive. There was no greeting, just a sharp directive. Despite this, we went ahead and placed a to‑go order for a tri‑tip sandwich and a Greek salad and paid. I completely understand that businesses have closing times and need to clean and wrap up for the night. That's reasonable. What's not reasonable is speaking to long‑time customers, or any customer, in such an unkind, abrupt manner. A little courtesy goes a long way. Because of this experience, we won't be returning. There are plenty of other local options in Davis that will take our money, while valueing and respecting their customers, regardless of when they walk through the door.

But that should not distract from the yummy Mediterranean food that you can find at Shah's. It's totally worth the hassle with finding a place to park. The interior is on a smaller side, only few tables inside, and the ordering is at the counter. Pick an option from the menu-either a wrap or platter-and the friendly staff will make it in front of you. You just add stuff to it as you go. Think of it as a Middle Eastern Subway or a Chipotle. For the meat options they offer chicken or lamb, but there is also falafel and fish options for those with different dietary needs. We tried both the chicken and lamb, in gyro and platter form. The portions at Shah's are very generous and you can make it even more filling by adding more condiments and toppings to it. Warning: the spicy sauce is actually spicy, not "American spicy", so take that into mind when ordering. I also noticed Shah's also carries burgers and sides such as fries or chicken nuggets, but we did not try that on this visit. For filling and quick meal, Shah's is (still) one of the best options in town. It is great that they're open late and now have a brick-and-mortar presence, so we don't have to wonder where the truck will be parked.
