Food is great, drinks are great. Staff could be more professional. Spilt water on us and didn't apologize. Pad Thai is a little bland but ok. Best fish is fried rice! read more

Used to be good before covid. Now they give you smaller portions in plastic containers for dine in. No refills on the coffee/tea and they don't check up on you. They need to lower prices if they're not going to serve food the way they did precovid with full service and portions. edit: it is Thai tea. I wish I had taken pictures of my food but my crispy Rad nar came in a plastic bowl and so did my Thai tea. You can see the same bowls and plastic cup in other reviews. My friend and I ordered in person for dine in. Owner should not be gaslighting me. Lol read more

Ok guys, what the hell. I've been a supporter since you opened. I ordered pick up today of the udon noodles and avocado egg rolls and was thinking to myself....what have I done? Not only were the egg rolls drowned in oils, but most of my noodle order was bean sprouts? I'm not your college age supporter-I was a serious lifetime supporter of your business, but this is horseshit. I could get better at Panda Express. You should feel ashamed....maybe all your good chefs went to the Williows location? Not sure what has happened, but take serious consideration at your 3.0 star review and do better.... read more

Red 88 - Davis - Asian Fusion Near Me - Davis, California

I use to live red 88, especially their vegan ka-ree soup but the past few visits have been awful. They've brought me nonvegan chicken soup when it was specified for it to be "vegan" . The first time it happened, the manager came out and personally apologized for the mistake, saying that they had just hired a new cook/ kitchen worker and assured me that they take dietary restrictions very seriously. But for it to happen a second time when it was made clear TWICE that the order is vegan is disheartening. I don't feel safe to eat anything at red88 anymore. The food is good but the attention to detail is lacking. I hope the manager sees this review and make more of an effort to keep his word so that others don't fall ill from carelessness. read more

We ordered Birria Noodles and got totally disappointed. Beaf was not even closed to be called Birria ( Carne Dura). Very hard meat and noodles were meh!. Not impressing at all. read more

We stopped here for an early dinner and wow, the food is really good. We ordered the crab and shrimp fried rice, spicy crispy eggplant rice dish, mango salad and the spicy lamb rice dish...all were delicious. We were here a month ago and the chicken tenders were good. I ordered the bria ramen and it was not so great. Aja is awesome! We love the customer service we got and the recommendation that we were given. Give it a try. They offer outside seating as well as inside. read more

The garlic mushroom Lover was waaaay to salty and tasted like msg. The portion was disappointingly small with approximately ten pieces of thinly sliced chicken and mushrooms. This meal was definitely overpriced and not worth $13+tax. read more

My fight team made a decision to stop here for dinner. Outside dining on a Saturday night was not bad here. Full bar and of course they catered to the university students. I found it interesting how the menu was Thai/Mexican fusion, we all loved our meals. I got nothing bad to say about the place. read more

Please, please , please save yourself the money and tastebuds and steer clear of this place. You will thank me later. If I could give minus stars, it would be in the negative. The thai tea was beyond over watered down. I ordered yellow curry, which is almost impossible to mess up, and what showed up is almost indescribable. The sticky rice was under cooked and over cooked at the same time, hard nibs of rice inside a glob of goo. The curry was like s sugary florescent yellow liquid devoid of actual curry. Add frozed mixed veggies and voila, NOT CURRY! I can't believe this place is in California. I've had better curries in central Texas. WTF! $13 for a huge disappointment. DON'T GO HERE! read more

Worst yellow curry I've ever had, felt like it was out of a can. Also the place was not clean.

Not excited.. food and service bespoke a college attempt at what they thought should be Asian cuisine. I loved Ket Mo Reh.. and was told this had connections. High expectations dashed by an underwhelming attempt. My ramen seemed to be fixed up instant ramen. And the prices were way over.. I think the good noodle bars in Sf were not this expensive. The Thai iced tea was lacking and I won't even comment on what their interpretation of sticky rice was. read more

Dumplings. The only way to mess up dumplings (in my opinion) is when it was not cooked fully or when it is not dumplings. I would like to claim FALSE ADVERTISEMENT on their dumplings. For they are NOT dumplings. Imagine my surprise when I opened my takeout box to see NOT dumplings, but siu mai, another Chinese dim sum. As a confirmed Chinese person as well as a human being with eyeballs, it is easy to see that the food I had gotten was their poor and unfortunate version what they must think a dumpling looks like. (btw I got them steamed) How did I know it was siu mai? Well, it had the indistinguishable red mark at the top also THE SHAPE??? Like it wasn't even in the shape of a dumpling! it was like a square with a circular bottom (I'm not majoring in shapes don't @ me). Other than the fact that the "dumpling" was NOT a dumpling, the taste could be expressed through the word "whatever". It definitely wasn't the best in the taste department, it was waaaay too expensive for the 6(?) pieces I got, and I'll say it again for the people in the back, IT. WASN'T. DUMPLINGS. I had also the privilege of ordering their "special" fried rice (which is just their fried rice. Doordash kindly recommended them to me thanks for that by the way Doordash). I was feeling not meat so I got fresh tofu (which is like not fried tofu). The tofu was bland, simple. The fried rice, was fried rice without like... the feeling of fried rice. I feel like if I got it with a meat, the flavoring would be better, but I didn't, and I didn't like it. I didn't try the hot sauce (sorry) because my spice tolerance tonight was zero so... yeah. 10/10 do not recommend. (the only reason I didn't give it a one star is because I believe one stars will REALLY have to mess things up.) read more

Came in on Valentine's Day from bar hopping with friends. The place got busy quick but I've been here on a lot of other occasions as well. Bartenders are always kind and friendly! Our drinks have always been consistent. Our group had to split to do 3 different ski shots in the night and we tried the Green Bastard, The DTF and LFG-- everybody enjoyed all flavors of the shots Our table also got a few appetizers (potstickers, wings, and fries) and other mixed cocktails: The FML, AMFML, Watermelon Sour Patch Shooter, Sour Skittle Shooter, White Gummi Bear Shooter, Kiss My Blossom, and Pacific Rim. Everybody enjoyed their drinks definitely the stronger drinks did what they were supposed to do and the other cocktails tasted great and were easier to sip/take down ! The free photobooth was also a cute add on for the night, the only downside was someone in our group getting a very foamy beer poured for them which was a bit disappointing but the overall experience was really fun and we'll be coming back another time for sure read more

Tonight was my first time here, and I found the food delicious with the right level of spiciness, so I'll probably be back. Service was good, and the wait-time was brief, which really impressed me. Check out the happy-hour menu! read more

This place is a great place to start a night out for drinking. They can make any mixed drink you desire! BUT what I have to mention is that they have a fun flight of drinks for a group of four to do. They place four drinks on a wooden board, then all four grab the board and lift it at the same time to chug your drinks. I would say that is worth trying for sure. The bar itself is relatively small and they only have one bathroom. On the bright side, they have self served water :). If you got the munchies, the bar is next to a pizza place. Check this place out for your bar hopping night! read more

I ate here yesterday. Hadn't really been in since the pandemic... so it's been a while. First, let me say, the food was good, just as I remembered it before Covid. Also, the young man behind the bar that took our order and answered our menu questions was friendly and helpful - so with all that you might be asking yourselves why would I only give this place one Star ???? It's because they screwed up big time on the beer. They served it in cheap plastic glasses with worn-chipped edges. Parts of the plastic glass were sharp enough to cut your lips. For me that screwed up the meal and it wasn't just my glass - my wife's was the same. I think the family that owns University of Beer also owns Red 88 so WTF. I've never had a chipped plastic glass at UOB. The meal for my wife and I (with 20% tip) was around $50.00. I LOVE BEER. It's as important to me as the meal. If you screw up my meal you screw up up the beer - and if you screw up the beer - so goes the meal. $50.00!!!! No thanks. I didn't go to a tailgate party in a parking lot - i went to a restaurant Not going back unless I can enjoy a beer in a 'glass ' mug, preferably cold. read more

Highly recommend their spicy Mac and cheese, perfect with a beer. Also still really tasty the next day, i use to buy it, eat half, and save half for tomorrow lol read more

Really chill vibes and good food. The person behind the counter was really helpful and patient with my questions. read more

I've been to red noodles quite a few times. It is a great spot for vegan and vegetarians.

This place wasn't bad. A big negative for me is that most of the food is made with pork. There are a few option with beef, tofu, and chicken. Maybe like 4 chicken items. Not a fan of that. I had the chicken fried rice. The best part of the rice was the fried egg on top. The rice was undercooked and the chicken didn't have much flavor. I also had the Thai iced tea. Thai iced tea is always a winner. For dessert we ordered the fried Nutella won tons. The first one I had had absolutely no Nutella in it. But it was good. Also, we did get an appetizer. It was happy hour. We got the drunken pig fries. So there was pulled pork on it. I don't eat pulled pork. Fortunately for me they didn't put any pork on it. So I was able to eat it. Most of the pork was fat anyway. It was good, but my friends were jipped on it. read more

I came here when I started my sophomore year at UCD, had pretty good food but got food poisoning from it (duck fried rice). I just chalked it up to coincidence but was afraid to come back for a while. I really hate complaining about a place but I just can't let this slide. Fast forward to 7/22/15 evening: I was craving noodle soup and decided to give this place another try. Service was amazing and food came out quick. The 2 guys (bartender/manager?) that were nicely dressed were very attentive and I saw them accommodate a large group really quickly. Literally A+ for service. I ordered the Thai boat noodle soup and my boyfriend ordered the BBQ pork and shrimp wonton noodle soup. When I first tasted the soup, it was light and not too salty. The beef was strange, thick and very chewy. Something was a little off with it but I brushed it off since I was starving. The veggies in the soup tasted very bitter too. For my boyfriend's soup, it tasted light too but the wonton was literally a shrimp with the wonton wrapper (shrimp was rubbery). It was nice that the thai tea was unlimited but there was a very bad aftertaste, probably made from powder. The prices were decent and I thought I could give this place another try. Nope. I went home and puked my guts out for several hours. Just like the last time, I got sick a bit after my meal here, ate nothing else between then and going home. I would've ignored it once, but a second time? No way! Final Thoughts: There's something in this kitchen that's not right. My friends have warned me about this place many times before and I should've listened to them. read more

Been coming here for years, but only started yelping recently, lol. The ambiance is nice, and the service is always quick and friendly! The one thing I ALWAYS get is the duck fried rice! It's delicious!!! My friends and I usually split a plate of the duck fried rice and each get our own entrees. Tonight I got the spicy pork ramen, which was pretty good. We also split some pork fries, which were good as well. Nothing compares to the duck fried rice, though! It's so amazing! As far as the drinks go, I honestly don't remember how they are. It's been a while since I ordered drinks here, and this is usually the place we go grub after drinking, lol. Thanks, Red 88, I'll be back for that duck fried rice in the future! read more

THEY NOW HAVE NEW MANAGEMENT!! and now they SPLIT CHECKS! they have a $.50 charge on credit cards Same terrible policy on their bottomless chai drink (if you are with another person and they do not order it too, it is not bottomless because "sharing") I think last night will be the last time we come here. The fried rice was very bland again. I have figured it must be the cook since both times it came out bland was during 7-8pm. What they say about their fried rice is true: decent but not that great. I used to love it and now I can't help but be sad that it is not what it used to be. I found large chunks of unmixed, mushy rice balls in my last two orders. read more

Came here after a hike and the bottomless Thai Tea was REFRESHING! Got at least 2 refills with an attentive waitress filling it up as soon as it neared empty. Great service during weekend lunch! I ordered the Fried Eggs and Rice with Thai Sausage and the portion was MASSIVE. I managed to eat it for 3 mini meals AND share 2 mini meals with my sister. The fried rice was flavorful and the sausages were delicious! And I really like how they box up your leftovers for you + label with name of dish and the date. Very impressive. read more

Potstickers and noodles were alright, not super flavorful, unfortunately. Portion size was good though and I'm glad I tried it! I'm glad they were able to still open during COVID but I did not feel like safety was enforced. Tables were close together, people were not respecting boundaries & I couldn't tell if high touch surfaces or tables were being wiped down because I didn't see it happening. read more

I've been to this place a couple of times now. Pairs perfectly with a night out downtown, especially with Ket right across the street. For appetizers, I tried my friend's thai fries. GET IT! For my entree, I got duck fried rice and I absolutely loved it. The hot sauce that comes with it is yummy! Portions were huge. My best friend got the spicy mac and cheese. It was so greasy, which is why I finished her leftovers. It was surprisingly yummy (I'm a big cheese lover). If you spend over $10, you get a free pass to Ket! They charge 50 cents if you use card and spend less than $20, I believe. Also, this is one of the stops for the Davis trinity. The FML drink! read more

I've come to this place three times now and super happy with the food! We've dined in and ordered takeout. So far I've tried the birria fries, drunken pig fries, pork store fries noodles, beef chow mein, yellow chicken curry and the tofu veggie soup. Super tasty and satisfied! Service has been great each time we've come. Friendly and prompt. We came on a quiet Thursday night because we know the weekend will be busy. We enjoyed sitting in the back and watching the game. We will definitely be coming back. read more

Come here for their Midori Sour, Pacific Rimjob, and Thai Tea. Been here more times than I care to admit, but oddly never got around to leaving a review. I mainly come on Thursday or Friday nights when I'm out bar hopping with my friends. They have cheap drinks and food after midnight, but you have to be at the front of the line after THEIR time states that it's after 12am. They will also give you free passes to Ket Mo Ree with a certain amount of purchase. Honestly, the servers can be pretty darn rude during busy nights, so the 4 star rating is for their regular lunch/dinner hours. Wish I remembered our server's name when we came in for a late lunch around 3pm one Saturday afternoon. She was very attentive and we left her a nice tip for it! Bottomless Thai tea is what you should be coming here for! The food is honestly just average. She was very nice when I asked for more half & half in my Thai tea refills. They also box and label your food with the dish name and date! Take note: you cannot take your last cup of Thai tea to-go after you have gotten more than one refill. Still worth it in my opinion! read more

SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE Last night was super bad service in my opinion. The waiter came back four times to clear our table. Felt super rushed. Get in and get out kind of environment. I understand its the day before picnic day but customer service should stay consistently good everyday. I only ordered crab wontons. The ends of it are good but when you bite into the middle where the stuffing is its too creamy. Cream cheese was overpowered. Didn't really enjoy it, but maybe my taste buds weren't enjoying it as I could have because the SERVICE WAS LOUSYY! read more
