    I've tried the pho, spring roll and bahn mi here and unfortunately, all of it was mediocre. Don't recommend if you're expecting good, authentic viet food. All of the food just lacks flavor. Good service so far, just used the kiosk to order but they did forget our extra requested we checked off on. Ambiance is very pretty though and it's a nice place to hang out.

    Combination banh mi

    This is the spot in town for an affordable banh mi. Combination banh mi: A- This was around $10 and tastes great. It's not huge but the taste is on point. Wrapped nicely and convenient to eat. Easy ordering online or via kiosk! Artichoke tea: C This was a popular drink on the menu so I had to try it. I love artichokes however, not so much when it's for a sweet drink. Definitely an acquired taste.

    WHY WE WENT HERE: - lunch/dinner THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located in a plaza off Russell Blvd and in between Sycamore Ln and Anderson Rd - located in the same plaza as Trader Joe's THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - loved the Eiffel Tower - decent amount of seating (high chair, booth, and standalone tables and chairs) - ordered via kiosk - texted when your order is ready for pickup THE MENU: - Paris Banh Mi - French Patisserie - Specialty Beverages WHAT WE ORDERED: - Special Combination Baguette - Shredded Chicken Baguette THE TASTE: - Special Combination Baguette hit the spot for my friend - Shredded Chicken Baguette had too much pate, but it was fine CUSTOMER SERVICE: - minimal since we ordered through the kiosk and when we went to the counter to pick up our order it was sitting there in a bag

    Came to Paris Banh Mi for a late afternoon meal after a day of exploring downtown Davis. This shop is located in a shopping plaza on the corner of a large open courtyard. It was a hub for college kids to hang out and chill after school. The inside is bright with lots of seating (inside and outside). Paris Banh Mi serves banh mi, but also pho, desserts, and boba drinks. We ordered via the kiosk and barely had any human contact except for when we picked up our food. The kiosk claims it will text you when the order is ready, but we waited pretty long outside and never received anything. My friend and I ordered: - Banh mi dac biet - This was well-stuffed with lots of pate. Maybe I'm deprived of banh mis around me, but this was really delicious. - Banh mi with chicken floss/shredded chicken - My friend said this was just aight. I asked for extra veggies on the side and noticed the pickled daikon and carrots were more on the sour side. Overall a decent banh mi spot but it doesn't hold a candle to Duc Huong.

    Special Combination Croissant

    Another new food option at The Davis Collection! I was just passing by and happened to notice their grand opening. I quickly got in line for the kiosk and tried a few things from their menu. Oh, and there's a promotion for 10% off this weekend. I got the special combination but instead of the usual baguette, I tried it with a croissant. It was smaller than I thought, and I'm leaning toward preferring a traditional banh mi more. The steak pho with fresh noodles was decent, but nothing to rave about. Food took almost half an hour to come out, though I'm not sure whether it's because their kitchen and operations are still new. Overall, prices seem kind of high given what you can get around the Davis area.

    Special Pho
    John C.

    TLDR: Spacious and modern spot with fast service, but the pho lacked depth and the meat quality was disappointing. Not my top pho choice in Davis. --------- I visited on their grand opening day when they were offering 10% off your order. Ordering is done through a kiosk, and the interior has a contemporary feel with lots of light colored design elements. The space itself is quite large, with plenty of indoor seating and an outdoor porch area, though the porch does not get much light. I ordered the special pho, which was priced at $18.95 before tax and tip. The food came out fairly quickly, and the portion size was generous. One thing to note is that you have to grab your own utensils, as they are not brought out with the food. Unfortunately, the pho broth lacked depth and richness, and I had to add quite a bit of sauce to boost the flavor. There were not enough sauce trays available, so I had to wait until someone else was finished using theirs. I also wished there was chili oil available to add some heat to the dish. The noodles themselves were fine, and there was a good amount of them. The meat, however, was quite tough, and the rib did not have much meat on it, which was disappointing given the price. Overall, I found this place a bit underwhelming, especially compared to other pho spots in Davis like Sit Lo Saigon. There is potential here, but the food needs improvement for me to choose this over other options in the area.

    Spring roll
    Tiffany N.

    I consider this place to be a 3.5, but will bump it up because I feel like it's a Davis 4. I came by here months ago soon after it's opening to get banh mi with friends and found it to be a little disappointing. I promised I would come back after they had some time to establish to leave a proper review. I ordered the banh mi dac biet and roasted pork spring rolls. I noticed that they changed the filling for this particular sandwich, where it used to be pork roll (cha lua) and roast pork (thit nuong). They've changed it now to be barbecue pork instead of roast pork, which I think is the right move. I got my sandwich toasted and without pate. I found that the sandwich tasted much better than last time. It was much more solidly constructed and has a decent filling of meat to vegetables, though I feel like there were a lot of pickles in the sandwich. The bread, however, is not my favorite. It kind of reminds me of Lee's sandwiches, where they have that kind of soft long baguette that isn't super fluffy. If you're looking for the traditional bread experience where the outside is crispy, but light and the inside is fluffy like air, you're not gonna get it here. You have to go to Duc Huong in south Sac for that. But, if you have an itch for a banh mi, the flavors work. There's no other place to get it in Davis, but this is pretty OK. The spring rolls are interesting. They remind me of something that I would make at home. I will say that there is a decent amount of meat in them, but the vegetables are lacking. I acknowledge that this is a Vietnamese restaurant in a college town so they're probably not gonna go crazy and include the more traditional herbs that you would get in Vietnamese food, but it did make me a little fat to just get lettuce and cilantro that being said, I ate it all so I can't really complain lol The store itself is very pretty, I have to admit. I like an ordering kiosk, though their system can get a little overwhelming when trying to make modifications to sandwiches because of the way they set up the modification menu. Can't speak too much on staff since interaction is really minimal. The person who made my sandwich put it out first and I stood there. Not sure if my spring rolls we're gonna be out soon. She kind of just looked at me and said they'll be out later. The person who delivered my spring rolls to me was really nice, looks more like the owner or manager.

    Excellent food, service and a quaint place for lunch. This place is clean and very attentive. I was able to order right away and got my order in no time.

    Pho
    Alana E.

    Showed up on a rainy morning looking for something warm to eat. They were open a little earlier than their hours state and I headed in, ordered at the self serve kiosk, and sat down. There was nobody else inside, but it was comfortable and inviting, though the music was a little loud for 10 am. Something that I found interesting was that when I ordered, you could specify less/more cilantro and onions in your pho. I went with the standard amount, but appreciate the level of customization you can do. The food came out about 15 minutes after I ordered, which isn't too bad, but could have been faster given I was the only customer. It was flavorful and light, though a bit more cinnamon-forward than other pho places in town. Overall, it's a pretty standard place with standard prices. I would come back a little later in the day when they are more prepared for customers.

    Lychee milk tea with crystal boba
    Kristine M.

    I came here at 9 pm (we thought they closed at 10). my brother and I ordered at the kiosk, but it froze so we ordered at the counter. I think the staff forgot or misunderstood because I received a lychee milk tea with 100 percent sugar instead of zero sugar. They were closing at 930 pm that night instead of 10 because of maintenance. We were not given boba straws with our drinks. Maybe we were supposed to get the straws ourselves so it could have been our own fault as well. When we remembered, we were already out the door and the door was locked. Luckily I had boba straws at home. I felt a little rushed. I also ordered the Nutella cheesecake. It was ok. The ambiance is modern. The AC was soooo cold. I'm sure I will appreciate that in the summer though! Haha. I will give them another chance and not come so late next time.

    Special Combination Bahn Mi
    Kristel G.

    We've been to Paris Bahn Mi twice now and we appreciated both experiences. We've tried the chicken pho, special pho, combination special Bahn mi, chicken Bahn mi, egg rolls, and Beef Pate Chaud. The pho broth was flavorful, I didn't feel the need to add anything to it. The special pho only comes in large but the meat portion was very generous, it was worth it. The chicken pho was also good but the amount of noodles in it was rather superfluous--the noodle to broth ratio could've been better. My husband had the Bahn Mi (combo and chicken). He said the combo Bahn mi had a savory sauce but the chicken Bahn mi was just okay and didn't leave an impression. Meanwhile, our toddler had the egg rolls and the beef meat pie and he seemed to have enjoyed both! It was packed the first time we went but we were served our meals quickly. It was relatively clean and seating was decent for how small the establishment was.

    It's nice we have another chain that opened in Davis. More options. We walked in around noon on a Friday and it wasn't crowded. Maybe it was also because it was a long weekend so everyone could have been gone. Some reviews said the food took long to come out. Ours didn't this time. I ordered the meatball pho and my colleagues got some banh mis. The meatball pho was pretty good. The soup was flavorful. I think for what this place is and what they serve, it's pretty good. Viet coffee was good too. I really wanted to try the pate chaud, but next time. My colleagues said the banh mis were also pretty good. Overall, I would come back to try the other items on their menu.

    I got myself a grilled pork sandwich and it quite authentic and filling. I asked for extra cilantro and less mayo, but I think they flipped those two. Atmosphere is nice and chill. Good music. Nice solid chairs. All in all it was pleasant and tasty. I'll likely be back.

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.

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.

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.

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.
