    Crispy Pork Belly Rice Plate and Unagi Don with Green Beans and garlic sauce
    Lisa C.

    Came on a Sunday during lunch hour, so it was quite busy! The pork belly is super crispy and succulent. The green beans are slightly crispy and reminds me of DTF green beans, flavorful and cooked perfectly. The special rice dish comes with honey lemon ice tea. We're far out from Davis but was in town and glad we came to try this place out. Service is good too. We loved it so much we decided to order their house fried rice to go so we can have it for dinner. Highly recommend! And you really can't beat the price, which makes the food taste even better.

    Tim's Kitchen is hands-down my favorite HK cafe to support whenever I'm in Davis. The prices seem to be inflation-proof but the quality of their food is not jeopardized at all. The owners speak Cantonese and Mandarin, so I am able to practice my Canto whenever I order, haha. I've already brought my husband several times with me, and he seconds my opinion regarding the food (he especially loves their pork belly dish). The service is pretty attentive for a family-run restaurant, and the AC is cold. The ambiance is chill and generally quiet, so I always have a peaceful place to enjoy my lunch. I never have to wait long for my meal, and the food is always fresh. Tim's Kitchen is the definition of HK home cooking, and I am very happy that there is such a place in Davis. With most of the entrees, you either get a free soda or lemon tea, and I always get the lemon tea. The prawn dishes, which generally run you at least $16 elsewhere, are only $13 at Tim's Kitchen, so it is my go-to protein. They are always cooked well and never overcooked or rubbery. My favorite so far is their prawns with green bean, in a signature HK black bean garlic sauce! I have also had their Hainanese Chicken Rice (海南雞飯) and the chicken is cooked perfectly and pairs wonderfully with their special rice. The ginger and scallion oil is also delicious. I've had their baked spaghetti prawns in cream sauce and that is sooo yummy. The layer of melted cheese on top is broiled to perfection. There are always people ordering DoorDash, Hungry Panda, etc, so business is always stable for Tim's Kitchen. It makes me happy that others enjoy their food as much as I do. I will continue to support Tim's Kitchen for the long haul and highly recommend coming to support this establishment if you're ever in the Davis area, or even passing by on I-80!!

    Wow, their dishes had some wonderful flavors! Very delicious, memorable chowfun, and green beans were so fresh, and flavorful. Spicy wontons had that slightly numbing star anise in it, which I love! The only things I marked a point off is on the beef that was not tender, so I'd probably order pork, chicken or shrimp instead next time. Green onion pancake was crispy and yummy. Bittermelon was really good too. Hot and sour soup was kind of bland. Complimentary iced water tasted great! Definitely coming back.

    Great quality and affordable food! For almost $13, you get a whole meal that can feed 2 and an iced tea drink. I always get the baked chicken with cream sauce, and it's always cooked to perfection. I tried other items on the menu and they're just as good! This is perfect for college students. Service was quick, and there aren't usually that much people. This place is so underrated. I love introducing my friends to this place!

    This place is very cheap with massive portions. It's good for closer friends who like homestyle Chinese food who you don't need to impress. Because it is fusion it does tend to be a little sweeter, but it has overall good flavors. The tomato and egg had a lot of green onion, perfect heat on the eggs, and green beans had good bite. Meat quality was normal in all the dishes, really good considering the price. Chinese pastas have never been my thing, but if you enjoy that category these are nice. A lot of meat and sauce. For me it's always too monotonous in texture and lacking in flavor. Food came out when it finished cooking so you had food almost immediately. I went on a Saturday 2pm, it was almost the only place open, and it was quite empty. Server was pleasant.

    B. Combo Plate House Baked Meal with chicken and cream sauce
    David L.

    Had lunch with the waifu. The deep fried prawns were great! Tasted fresh or not frozen for a long time. The chicken and cream sauce was ok. Nothing bad but nothing good to say either. The boba was not filled to the top. When I pointed that out to the staff, the reply was 'Only filled to line'. Ok. I got what I got. The boba was agar; I like agar so no problem there. Just wish I had more milk tea. Ambiance is always good. Also got hot water on a cold spring day. Letter of Recommendation: B+

    Spicy Green Bean
    Jevanka S.

    My fiance and I decided to drive up to Davis to grab Shah's initially but found out the whole complex was under renovations. So we deciddd to grab Chinese. We used to live in Davis and never saw this place before and decided to give it a try! My fiance and I loved their salt pepper pork chops, pork belly which was super crispy and I loved their walnut prawns! The only critique we have is that we did not enjoy the spicy green beans as much. It wasn't flavorful enough and it was just a preference for us. The green beans were almost like steamed like rather than stir fried. But we ordered a lot of food and enjoyed everything about it. The lady who was our waitress was super friendly and she gave us a great service! I really liked the interior of the restaurant since it looked super Chinese and gave me the confidence that this will be authentic Chinese food! We will definitely be coming back when we are in the area!

    Adding a few more pictures after a repeat visit recently. Not much has changed. I was still surprised to not see Spam on the menu which is big in Asia Pacific. The interior is pleasant but rather plain. Wish they would use the long bar left from it was a different business.

    Outstanding food at rock bottom prices. Most meals come with a free soda. Friendly service.

    Delicious crispy orange chicken

    The food is always served fresh. For the portions you get, you can easily share. We got an order of chowmein and their orange chicken is soooo good. We shared between 4 people and had left overs.

    New menu, more options that include more Cantonese style dishes as well as the Hong Kong baked dishes. Most of the dishes come with a free soda or honey lemon tea. Greeted when walked in and was able to sit anywhere we like. The baked dishes are a classic Hong Kong style dish. Although it takes a bit of time, it has good portions and it is delicious. ($11.50 - $12.95) The appetizer is very reasonable priced, so you're able to get a variety of things, from scallion pancakes to chicken wings to vegetables. The place is super spacious, it is clean. With their new updated menu, there are many options to satisfy everyone!

    Shrimp and rice with black pepper sauce
    Esther C.

    Not to be mistaken for Tim's Hawaiian on 2nd or 3rd, this is a Cantonese style restaurant. The servers are nice but have a little bit of a hard time speaking English. Food comes out slow. So not great place to come if you're in a rush but no doubt one of my favorite spots to eat out because they have filling meals for extremely reasonable prices ($10).

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 got the crab meat soup dumplings, beef wrap, beef slices, and pan fried dumplings. Pan fried dumplings and beef slices were mid but the soup dumplings and beef wrap were super good. Pan fried dumplings: made of bao dough so it's thick and not crispy. Also there's barely any meat. The flavor is not bad, it's just not as authentic Beef slices: flavor is good and great price but the beef is not that tender, it's a good standard beef slice dish though Crap soup dumplings: definitely not real crab but the flavor came through and was good. The wrap was perfect and the inside was juicy + good amount of meat. Beef wrap: well-fried and sauced, beef was tender and there was a lot. cut could have been better Also 10/10 for the cute spoons!

It was okay, very soft and chewy. More starch than filling. This is my favorite thing to order any time I'm somewhere that has dumplings so I was a little disappointed. I'd rate it a 2.75/5. The pork shu mai was small compared to other places I've been to. I also found a piece of shrimp shell in one. Okay flavor. I enjoyed it more than the shrimp. Also 8 for $13.95. I give it 2.85/5. The XLB was my favorite. I wasn't expecting them to be so big. 8 pieces for $13.95 as well. It was so juicy. Smaller meat piece inside but that's okay. The soup spoon they have feels like it was made specifically for these. 5/5. Overall okay place if you want a dumpling fix but if I wanted something MORE I'd just pay extra and go to Yang Kee Dumplings. I'd come back though if I was around the area.

It's honestly the first place that comes to mind when I think about sushi, no question. And just to put it in perspective, I literally drive here all the way from Sacramento. What can I say about the sushi? It's absolutely incredible. Today I tried a new spicy shrimp roll. I don't exactly remember the name, but wow, it was so good. Overall, your sushi is just 10/10. I also noticed you've added drinks since the last time I was here. It's been a while, so I didn't know about that, but I love it. I'm really into drinks like that. And they look just as perfect in real life as they do in pictures. Another 10/10. The only small thing I'd maybe suggest is working a little bit on the interior. But honestly, the atmosphere is still great. It really gives that cozy, homey vibe with a nice touch of Asian culture. I've been coming here since back when Davis Sushi & Fusion was in downtown Davis, and I'm genuinely so happy to see you growing. Your menu is much bigger now, and that's really cool to see. I wish you all the best. Places like this definitely deserve to be everywhere. By the way, I'm originally from Ukraine, but I absolutely love Asian cuisine. It's honestly a hundred times better than any fast food. Customer service: 10/10 Everyone is super friendly, open, and just genuinely nice people. ^~^

The dish is made up of the curry, a fried, chicken cutlet, and a bed of white rice. While there was nothing necessarily wrong with the quality of my dish, nothing in particular made it stand out. The curry wasn't exactly too flavorful, but the chicken cutlet was breaded quite well. For its price point, I expected either a larger portion size or better quality of food, as you could find better quality chicken katsu curry at a similar, or even cheaper price point within Davis. It took around 15-20 minutes for my dish to come out, although the service was friendly throughout my entire visit. The greatest highlight of my experience were the desserts/drinks that are created on a daily basis, in-house. The strawberry matcha was quite overpowering, as you could taste more of the strawberry bits as opposed to the matcha. The vietnamese coffee was extremely delicious, as it was sweet, yet not overbearing! The real star of the show was the banana pudding, at a perfect balance of sweetness, consistency, and price! I got the banana pudding for $5, making it an incredible, gourmet dessert!
