Chicken and rice plate
Erin E.

I feel like you can never go wrong with a rice plate at any Vietnamese restaurant. I usually order the pho, but because it was a hotter day, I decided on some barbecue chicken. So flavorful! I like it without the sauce but it's served separate the dish so there's options! The portion is decently sized for it being $18. The only bad thing I have to say is that it is on the higher range for Vietnamese restaurants... especially if it's just chicken and rice plate:')

Pho Tasty: menu 10/19/25
Crystal W.

Very good pho. Light, tasty broth. Very fast and good service. Meats were tender not fatty, tofu was crispy. From the time we ordered food served in under 8 minutes. Street or lot parking. Clean and decent seating. For two dollars more get a large, it's another serving of pho.

This was my second time here. Now I remember I didn't enjoy it the first time but I wanted to give them another try. I don't think $20 for soup is worth it at all. I ordered the seafood noodle soup with egg noodles. I got 2 small pieces of shrimp, 2 very small baby scallops, a few shredded pieces of imitation crab meat, 2 small fried fish cake and 2 tiny calamari. The following description sounded so good!! I was extremely disappointed. Staff were really nice. I came in on a Saturday evening. It wasn't busy at all. I don't think I'll be coming back here. SEAFOOD NOODLE SOUP Shrimp, scallop, calamari, fish ball, fried fish cake, and imitation crabmeat.

Crab Rangoon!  Yummy!

Craving pho while visiting Davis and came across this awesome place! They were busy but we were seated right away. Unfortunately it seemed that there was only one waitress but boy was she hustling. She took our order quickly. We order the crab Rangoon and 2 large bowls of Pho. Our food came out pretty fast. Everything was hot and delicious. The restaurant was fair with lots of seating and decorated w 4 huge palm trees with lights. Unfortunately the bench seats are a bit worn and could use some TLC. Other than that, everything was pretty good. We'll definitely be back!

Got table of 5 seated really fast on a Saturday night when they were pretty busy. We all ordered different phos but only got 1 small plate of rau cai / toppings to share so we had to ask for more. Then they didn't have sauce cups for hoisin/siracha? So we had to ask for them too. My soup was pretty salty but the meat and noodles were alright. Kind of underwhelming flavor and the XL is not very big (I think it may be the same amount of noodle, but they just pour a lot more soup).

I was craving some takeout pho and noticed Pho Tasty was just a couple of blocks from my hotel in downtown Davis. So I headed on over and grabbed a bowl of noodly goodness (plus some eggrolls). The place was surprisingly quiet inside for what felt like a busy Thursday around the rest of town, and the decor was...interesting. I headed up to the counter, where the service wasn't exactly friendly (but not necessarily unfriendly), ordered my food, and it was miraculously set before me just a few minutes later. Super fast service - yay! So I walked the three blocks back to my hotel, got into my jammies, and sat down to watch some TV and eat my dinner. Imagine my SHOCK that there was not a single utensil or napkin included! Not even some chopsticks. Faced with having to eat my pho using the coffee stir stick from my in-room Keurig machine, I put a jacket on over my PJs and headed down to the hotel bar, where the server blessed me with some utensils and napkins. I enjoyed the pho itself, and loved how much tendon was included (usually it seems like an ingredient that other pho places are stingy with). The eggrolls were delicious, too. Maybe they can't give utensils due to regulations? I'm not sure. But they should have at least said something or asked.

Beautiful and calm setting. Spring rolls and Banh Mi sandwich were wonderful. Feng Shui atmosphere

Meat over rice
Evelyn E.

This place was really good, the goua bao with duck was really tasty. And the pho soup wasn't sweet either it was tasty and savory! As for the meat over rice that was good as well I would order everything again and try their noodle soup next time. Service was nice and it was really quiet when we went. The only thing was the soda was flat and the flies lol

Inside
Arielle A.

Nothing hits the spot more than pho on a chilly and overcast day. Pho Tasty is located in downtown Davis. The restaurant has a lovely chill vibe to it, and the inside is well-maintained. The ambience is great with low volume music playing in the background, giving it a classy feel. I went for the seafood pho and it was delicious! The broth wasn't too strong and the noodles were just right. This item in particular was much pricier than what I'm used to in other places, but the other menu items go for a more reasonable price. Service was great and I'm overall satisfied with my visit. I will be coming back when I'm in the area!

An old friend from elementary school and I decided to meet at Pho Tasty for lunch as neither of us had been there before. Reading the reviews on Yelp and looking at the pictures, it appeared to me that the only pho options had a beef broth. On looking at the menu I discovered that there were also pho dishes with chicken and vegetarian broth. It was a very warm day so both of us decided to try the Banh Mi. She had the BBQ pork and I had the chicken. Both were served with regular French fries, not the sweet potato fries mentioned on the menu. The sandwich was fine. The French fries got soggy very quickly. We arrived when they opened for the day at 11 a.m. Actually we arrived early and were relieved that the door was open so we could get out of the heat. The waiter came right over and seated us and brought us menus and water. There was a steady stream of customers. Some of the dishes that were delivered to nearby tables looked very good.

Special Pho / Pho Dac Biet (size Small, $16) + extra noodles ($3)
Trina G.

I typically don't go to Vietnamese restaurants because I have my grandma's delicious homemade meals, but I keep coming back to Pho Tasty at least once a month for their beef pho. Pho Dac Biet: - Flavor 100/10, amazing salty flavors as is without sauces. This dish is the reason I keep coming back - The portion sizes have definitely gotten smaller over the past year. An XL (now $18) used to be plenty for me & my gf to share, but now it's like an appetizer. However, if you get a Small with extra noodles, it's enough to share (although not as much soup) Bun Bo Hue: - Flavor 3/5. I love this dish in general and have had it many times in the US and Vietnam. The look and smell of the dish was accurate, but it didn't taste quite right. It tasted like the flavor was in the background and more of a smell - For $20, I was disappointed that it came with a tiny amount of noodles I wouldn't get the Bun Bo Hue again, but I highly recommend this place for their Beef Pho !!

Banh Xeo
Sophia B.

Banh Xeo was super good! I highly recommend Serving is good for 2 people. Service was a bit slow, but employee was really helpful and nice. Ambiance was a pretty! I ate here in the day time, I bet the lighting would be even better at night.

Pho Bo Filet Mignaon Pho
Tanya B.

I came here for lunch the other day, it was cute inside very small but clean. The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Pho Bo Filet - it was good, a little sweeter than I expected... and I wish the meat was cut into slightly smaller pieces. I think next time I go I'll try the veggies, my friend got that and it was packed full of veggies and looked amazing. I will try it again!

A pick order from here did not contain noodles and reduced the amount of meat. Avoid this restaurant unless you are eating there in person.

I wasn't prepared for the chilly day in Davis. I changed my outfit several times before we left the…read morehouse. The weather report said 65 degrees and overcast today. 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.

I am usually a defender of these kinds of restaurants --- slightly below average rating due to poor…read moreservice is the mindset I try to approach them with. Unfortunately, this place has both bad service and food is not great. 2 stars for the price. Food (3/10) - I don't know how to describe it outside of the fact that it's just bland. I got the "Marco Polo noodles" which is just Chinese jia jiang mien. Let's start with the positives. I liked the noodle texture; it had a nice spring and were thick for a decent chew. Now, onto the bad. You could just tell that the noodles would be bland just by a look and smell. The smell of the bowl wasn't one of fragrant stir-fried pork but it actually smelled like starchy water. The sauce was super watery and had no flavor and I don't think there was even ground pork in the noodles. From what I could tell, it was some diced up mushroom and then black bean paste, without black bean flavor might I add. I had to add a GENEROUS amount of soy sauce and chili oil to make it taste decent. Honestly, I'd say it's pretty hard to mess up this dish as a whole and there's a lot of leeway on flavor but I have not tasted something that bland in a while. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have the thai tea. This thing was so sweet that it was borderline undrinkable. I had to wait for the ice to melt in the drink before it was bearable and even then, it still left this residual sticky taste in my mouth. Also it's 4 dollars for canned thai tea; she grabbed it out the fridge. The only sort of saving grace of this restaurant is that it's relatively cheap. $12.50 for a good portion of noodles might convince me to go back(?) VERY BIG maybe though. I might want to try their soup noodles. Service (5/10) - It didn't really seem like she wanted me to be there. She kind of just sat behind the counter on her phone with an Airpod in the whole time. She was just on her phone the whole time and overall inattentive. When she was, she was just asking if I was ready to order (twice in the span of under 3-ish minutes). Ambiance (6/10) - Eh. It was just kinda weird. The lighting was dingy. Also didn't like how they left dirty tables around (clearly looked like they had been there for a while). Overall, probably wouldn't visit again. Might give it a second chance but food for price was pretty good. Unfortunately, bad food for good price is a no-go for me.

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.

We chose the table because the booths looked uncomfortable. Another couple of diners came to eat while we were there. I had the Yellow Curry. I added chicken for an additional $3 because the basic dish was just sauce with potato and carrot. Most other restaurants include a protein in the price. The dish itself was just OK, it was a bit too sweet, I guess from the coconut milk. The portion size was good, I'll get an additional meal from the leftovers. My friend had the Pad Kee Mow and she graded it "A". Perhaps I made the wrong choice or am more finicky about my food. After eating the waiter came by holding a tablet saying he could take payment. He didn't show us the totals, just said we could give him our credit cards. We did so and we each asked for a printed receipt. When I got my receipt I saw there were two totals, one for cash and the other for credit (worked out to be a 3% fee.) That was never mentioned, neither by the waiter nor by the menu. I usually pay by cash but when the waiter said he'd take our cards, I assumed that was the preferred payment method.

My kid mentioned they usually are very pack and people would dine outdoor, but I guess we arrived early so there wasn't any wait time. Ordered few items, food came out very fast and the tastes are not bad at all. Beef Fried Rice Noodles: How do you differentiate if this dish is good or not, it is about how much excessive oil that's left on the plate. The stir fried was good, not too greasy, and they marinate the meat well. Unlike other Chinese restaurants, this place's meat was good. Only they could stir fried with even higher eat to create more "wok air" Sticky Rice Stick with Brown Sugar: First time trying this dish, so not sure what to expect. But it does seem to be a dessert to me, my comment would be higher if the rice stick is more chewy. Hot & Sour Shredded Potato: This is common dish from northern part of China. The way they prepared was awesome. The potato was not starchy and the seasoning is just right. A bit greasy but this is actually my favorite dish! Shrimp and Pork with Chives Dumplings: Meat is fresh and dumpling wrap is great too. Each dumpling size is not too big and wasn't torn. Taste is okay but maybe try another filling if I visit again. I would come again to try out other things on the menu if I'm visiting my kid again.
