I've been wanting to try Mendocino Farms since I heard they were opening in Davis, and I finally…read moremade it over to the new location on Russell Boulevard. I'm glad I did because everything was delicious. I ordered the pork belly banh mi and a cup of the Greek lemon chicken and farro soup. The banh mi was definitely the highlight. The pork belly was moist, tender, chewy, and really flavorful, and the crunchy vegetables added a great contrast. The ciabatta was perfectly soft with just a little bit of grilling and worked really well with everything in the sandwich. It was also a pretty substantial portion. I could only finish half and took the other half home for my son to try. The Greek lemon chicken and farro soup was also really good. I would have loved a little more lemon zing to it, but that's really my only critique of the food. Tenisha helped me during my visit and was super friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression for a new location. My lunch came in just under $30, so it's definitely on the pricier side for a sandwich-and-soup lunch. That said, everything tasted fresh and high quality, with plenty of protein and vegetables, and the pricing seems pretty comparable to the other options in this newly updated shopping area. Overall, this was a great first visit. The food was fresh, delicious, and felt like a healthier lunch option without sacrificing flavor. I've been waiting for Mendocino Farms to open and went a little out of my way to finally try it, and it was absolutely worth the trip. I'll definitely be back.

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.

Order at the counter, grab a seat, and it somehow still feels relaxed and taken care of. Tons of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options and everything's labeled, which I appreciate. Pro tip... talk to the cashier. They can tweak a lot more than what's listed. I ended up with a grain bowl that was actually good good and an iced tea that hit. The space is really cute with indoor outdoor seating, even if I'll admit the Sacramento location has a little more personality. Service here though? So solid. Friendly, helpful, and patient with all the questions. I do think table service would level it up, but honestly we had a great time and didn't miss it that much. Easy, reliable, and a yes for a casual brunch catch up.

The good thing is most are 2 hour free parking. Came in on a Saturday around 10am and it was pretty packed but still a couple of tables open. At first I thought it was two separate sides of the restaurant, one being sit down service and the other being counter service but figured it out after seeing people have order number stands sitting on their table. You go up to the counter to order and pay, they give you a number to put on your table and the food will come to your table. Water is self serve and they also have ice where you can scoop yourself into your cup or if you have a reusable water bottle. I ordered the eggs Benedict and the poached eggs were perfect. The potatoes come with a little sauce tin of ketchup on the side. I wish each table had ketchup so you could use as much ketchup to your heart's desire without bugging someone.

My son have been raving about this Poke spot. He said it's just as good as the poke we had in…read moreHawaii. I have to agree! We came on a Sunday around lunch time. The place was pretty busy with tables mostly occupied. We were ordering to go and the wait was about 10 minutes or so. We both got the poke bowl and these are the steps. 1. Select a base - Sushi rice, Brown rice or Spring mix salad. 2. Select 2 flavors. There are about 12 options of Ahi, Salmon and Shrimp. It was my first time and I always like to go with their recommendations, which is Furikake Bomb Ahi and Salmon Bomb. Great names because they were bombs! 3. Select Loaded Options aka toppings! I like that you pick a style which includes a set of toppings, instead of selecting the toppings individually. I bet that saves a lot of time. We both got the Delilah's Style which has seaweed salad, cucumbers, surimi crab, wonton chips, edamame, mangoes, massago, furikake and unagi sauce. If you like it spicy, I would get the Tropical Style with spicy mayo. Ahi and Salmon were fresh with mild (but tasty) seasoning that's not too much that you can still taste the fish. I absolutely love the wonton chips. This is not the typical wonton chips. Incredibly crunchy and thicker pieces. The toppings are vibrant, fresh and delicious! The portions are generous. I couldn't finish it in one sitting. Next time I go back I want to try the sushi wrap and musubis. This is a hidden gem in Davis.

Tuesday around 4pm ended up being the perfect time to slip in, avoid the crowds, and actually get to chat with Scotty about the menu. Since it was our first time here, we appreciated his food and drink recommendations, and he absolutely steered us right. We sat in the decked-out "Library" room, which felt like stepping into an old-school den with deep red leather sofas, bookshelves, and an impressive collection of art and decor. Overall, a fantastic experience. The icing on the cake was the service, which was truly top shelf. Every community has those people who become part of what makes it special, Scotty is clearly one of those people. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

Their falafel balls are okay for me. Overall, Shah's has really good Mediterranean food. Give it a try.

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.
