We ended up going here on July 10th around 6:00 p.m. we got there a little early to put our names on the wait list and it was a good thing because after we had put our name down at least another four groups of two to three showed up. And I will say it was for good reason that they showed up. Every single item that we had the salt and pork spare ribs, the shrimp soup dumplings, the traditional soup dumplings, the green beans with garlic sauce, the wontons and chili oil and sauce, and my Thai milk tea. Every single item was just fresh number one and two the flavors were so like bursting in your mouth but they all complimented each other. We ordered a lot of food and each time I tried something it still tasted as good even when it started to cool down a little bit. I will say my favorite item though, because I do like a little bit more spice but I would like things to be flavorful as well, was The wonton with the chili oil and sauce. The feeling was just the perfect amount when you took a bite you got a little bit of the meat portion but the sauce because it was covering it so nicely with a little bit of the crunch it just was a great mix of textures and flavors and the chili oil itself wasn't spicy it was just flavorful it had spices. I will say the group of three eight pretty much everything except maybe one spare rib. We almost had to roll ourselves out of there but it was so worth it and I would highly recommend checking this place out but word of caution do not go if you are hungry because again this place is popular and you might have to wait so make sure you have a good amount of time and that you're allowing yourself to really enjoy the space and try out all the deliciousness.
We were invited to an event in Davis, and decided to have a light bite to eat because we knew it was going to be a long evening. Yang Kee in Roseville is a favorite, so we naturally wanted to enjoy the food at the Davis location. The service was close to nonexistent. Once we were seated, and given menus, it's obvious that the offerings at the Roseville location are far more extensive than they are at the Davis location. We decided to order the BBQ pork buns because it's always a go to for us, and we figured we'd peruse the menu while we were enjoying the buns. The buns arrived at the table, and they were immediately visibly noticeably different, but it wasn't until we tried them that we noticed that there's also a huge taste differential. There was very little filling compared to what we're used to. It was mostly bun, more than anything else. When the buns were placed on the table, there was no contact with us/the table to find out how we we're doing, about the food, etc. Very much felt like a churn and burn moment. Based on the lack of Customer Service, and poor food quality, we opted to not waste any more time or money, and we would find another place to dine at. Thankfully, we are closer to the Roseville location and will still continue to enjoy the food there. We definitely will not be back to this location
This is our first time here. We came here with some friends and it was recommended for us to try. Our friends weren't wrong. This place was pretty good. We shared Xiao Long Bao- pork soup dumplings, wonton chili oil and salt and pepper pork. Everything was very good. I especially liked the salt and pepper pork. The pork was moist and not greasy. There was a nice crispy when you took a bite. The soup dumplings were made very well. A lot of soup in the dumplings and the skin was thin and tasted very fresh. Fully of flavor. I thought it was better than a lot of the other soup dumplings I've had before. We had good food and good company. Good times!
Yang Kee dumpling is located in the Safeway shopping center. There are other businesses in the same shopping center. There's plenty of parking. If there's no parking in front of Yang Kee you could park in the Safeway lot which is right next to the restaurant. I came with 2 other people on a Friday evening around 630pm. It was busy and bustling! We ended up waiting maybe 45 minutes for a table. There was nowhere to wait in the restaurant, but there were a couple of chairs. It was very hot outside so we didn't feel like waiting outside. Here's a tip! They have a Yelp check-in waitlist so if you have the Yelp app you can check in before you get to the restaurant. If I go here again, then I will check in from the Yelp app while I'm traveling there. The restaurant felt warm for a hot day outside. The AC was not on high enough. They also had a big fan going but it was still warm. The ambiance is casual. They don't have a large extensive menu, but after eating the food you can tell they place an emphasis on the quality of each dish. From the server, we learned that they have locations in Elk Grove and Roseville. You cannot eat in the Elk Grove restaurant and it is to go orders only. The server informed us that the Elk Grove menu is more extensive than the Davis one. Yang Kee dumpling is mainly known for their soup dumplings. They do have other Chinese dishes as well. We ordered the Yang Keep soup dumpling sampler which included two crab, two black truffle, two pork, and two shrimp loofah dumping flavors, the pan fried pork dumplings, seasonal vegetable dish, salt and pepper spare ribs, and pineapple buns. Even though it was busy and crowded right shortly after we ordered the food the food came out quickly in about 10 to 15 minutes! I tried the crab, black truffle, and shrimp, loofah dumplings. There was a lot of soup in the soup dumplings. The pan fried dumplings were also good but the exterior is a little bit hard to eat since it's tough. Also, when I bit into the exterior it seemed like the soup was hot to eat and I had to wait for it to cool. The soup dumplings were easier to eat and weren't as hot since the dough is thinner. My favorite was the black truffle and shrimp loofah. The black truffle had a very strong flavor of mushroom and had a unami taste. The shrimp loofah had big pieces of shrimp in it. There are two dipping sauces spicy chili and black vinegar/soy sauce for the dumplings. The seasonal vegetable dish came with broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and green beans. My friend did not want the carrot so we excluded the carrots from the dish. Usually it is garlic flavored but they said that we could add black bean sauce or make it spicy. We chose to add the black bean sauce. The dish still had an overall strong garlic flavor with a little bit of black bean sauce. I feel like there could've been more black bean sauce. The vegetables were very fresh. It was a simple dish and not strong in flavor but was delicious! The pork spareribs were fried and had a very crispy exterior and the pork was not dry and moist. There were onion and jalapeño toppings which added a lot of flavor to the pork. We finished all the dishes between the three of us. We also ordered the pineapple buns and they said they could bring it out at the end. The waitress said that we should order the pineapple buns when she was taking our order because sometimes they run out by the time people decide if they want to order since it was already the evening. An order comes with three buns. I love pineapple buns and they're my favorite at Asian bakeries and when I bit into it l there were small pieces of pineapple inside which was a surprise. The bun was very soft and melted in your mouth. Overall, the food is delicious and great quality and not overly salty with lots of flavor. Service was okay since it was very busy and it was warm inside and the AC wasn't cold enough but the excellent food made up for it! I will definitely come back and want to try the Elk Grove and Roseville locations. I looked at the menu for the Roseville location and the menu is larger than the Davis location.
I chose Yang Kee based on the stellar reviews, and when I arrived, I was pleased to see the place was busy at 8pm on a weekday considering it closed at 9pm. I ordered 2 simple items for takeout, which they said would be ready around 8:20pm. On my way over, I received a call from the restaurant that they didn't have the noodle for the noodle dish I ordered, so I gave them the green light to substitute for a different rice noodle. The pickup time was now 8:35. When I arrived, it was bright out, the restaurant was loud, and the waiting area was standing room only. I ended up waiting so long that the sun set, the waiting area emptied, half the dining tables cleared, the NBA game ended, the kitchen closed, and staff started cleaning! The front desk person seemed concerned that my order wasn't ready so she checked on my order a couple times. She assured me the noodles were done and it was only the egg tarts that we were waiting for. (Maybe the hens were still hatching the eggs?!!) Considering I ordered online and even waited before driving over, it was ridiculous to still wait an hour for 2 items. I even watched people come in to get seated, order and eat during my time there. I was about to cancel my order to get a refund -- and forego eating dinner altogether because waiting so long there had made me lose my appetite. It seemed obvious there was a mess up somewhere because it was only my order that was not ready. But then someone brought out my bag. The food was honestly just okay. The egg tarts were a 7/10 and dry chow fun was a 4/10. The experience was a 0/10. I can't recommend it. It could've been a fluke experience but the manager could have handled it better. My order should have been comped for taking ONE HOUR longer than it was supposed to be ready.
I was recommended by a local to try Yang Kee Dumpling because I had a hankering for some traditional/authentic Chinese food. Yang Kee Dumpling is located in a small strip mall, equipped with plenty of parking, and EV chargers. When arrived it wasn't too busy, and the hostess showed me to my table. In front of my table was where the staff was making dumplings (they were behind glass). After looking at the menu, I opted to get some traditional soup dumplings, bbq pork fried rice, and pineapple bao buns for dessert. My server was Bing and she was nice and efficient. She came back to check on me a few times throughout my dining experience. My fried rice came out first. It was a LARGE serving of fried rice, it of course had eggs, carrots, peas, and BBQ pork. It was flavorful. Next came out the soup dumplings. They were brought out in a steamer basket with a top to keep them warm. These were amazing. The light and delicate dough, mixed with the savory pork filling, and the salty broth was perfection. Next came out my pineapple bao buns. To be honest, I wasn't sure how I was going to like them. To my surprise these may have been the star of the show. The dough was light and sweet, the top was carmelized and sweet, and the custard inside reminded me of a Dole Whip from disney (exept it wasn't cold, it was warm). These were pretty large and I'm semi embarrassed to admint I had 2 3/4 bao buns myself. Go here. It's delicious.
We stopped by Yang Kee Dumpling and had a great experience. Parking was easy with plenty of spaces in the Safeway strip mall, which is always a plus. We order the salt and pepper spare ribs they were crispy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. We also ordered the pork soup dumplings, and they definitely delicious! They were juicy, flavorful, and a must try if it's your first visit. I also enjoyed the HK Honey Lemonade drink very refreshing. The HK Milk Tea was ok but had a cute ice cube shaped of a cow holding a dumpling. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
We've had Yang Kee dumplings in Roseville and wanted to try the original restaurant. The interior is smaller than the Roseville location, but still nice and roomy. Also has the glass window near the kitchen where you can watch workers fold dumplings. We got the classic xiaolongbao, wonton chili oil, and salt and pepper pork. All super delicious and similar in quality to the location in Roseville. I haven't had the wonton chili oil before and although my favorite is usually the salt and pepper pork, my favorite that day was the wonton chili oil. So flavorful and juicy! I will say the location at Roseville has a special menu where you can get specialty sweet baos. So if you're looking for that, the Davis location either does not have it, it is seasonal, or they forgot to give us that menu
Had such a great experience here with my sister! The restaurant has a really nice, cozy atmosphere, and everything we ordered was delicious. Our server Calvin was fast and very helpful. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The noodles and beef were especially good, and the pan fried buns were absolutely delicious. Everything tasted authentic and satisfying, and the portions were generous. It was a great place to enjoy a meal and spend time with my sister. We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in Davis! Highly recommend!
Probably the best quality you can get for Chinese food here. It's like novel but higher end but still super affordable. Prices were on the lower end of $20-30 if you get just enough per person + dessert (pineapple bun). I split 8 pork xiaolongbao, 6 shengjianbao/pan fried pork dumplings, 3 beef wasabi pastries, and a seafood sauté which was just the right amount of food for 3 people, and we added pineapple bun on top of that for a total of $78 before tax. I don't think anything was ridiculously good, but everything was very satisfying. service was quick and respectful. I thought it was weird they walked around promoting their pineapple buns to each table but it was worth it. pan fried dumpling: pretty good crunch but no crisp, lots of soup, meat is a bit hard for Chinese standards. came in 5-10 mins first Seafood saute was pretty good but a bit raw for me. I think there was about 10 pcs of shrimp and 10 pcs of scallop, and the overall portion was a bit small. came like 7 mins after the pan fried dumplings w xiaolongbao xiaolongbao: lots of juice, got tired of it fast as it's basic. beef wasabi pastries: 7 mins after the xiaolongbao and sauté, wasabi flavor was not bad at all even though I hate wasabi. Not a lot of beef but the flakiness of the pastry was really fun and it was nice to try it. Slightly sweet glaze on the top was a nice touch Out waiter forgot about our pineapple buns so they came after 20 mins but it's chill, they're small but so good. The custard has actual pineapple and the top crust is actually a little crispy. The bun itself doesn't have that classic pineapple bun flavor but everything else makes up for it especially how soft it is. Super yummy chili oil was very standard and i wouldn't buy a jar of it Ambiance is nice, love the glass showing the kitchen as it reminds me of food joints in China, it's just hella crowded at the entrance but once you sit down it's fine.
After a long discussion, we decided that this is the best taiwanese dumpling place we've been so far! We ordered WAY too much food but we finished it because it was THAT good. I'm not usually a fan of garlic noodles, but my friends and I killed it! Cucumbers (off menu) were fresh and crunchy, the dumplings were so flavorful, and the pork strips were tender. I don't even remember everything we ate because I couldn't stop eating! I really wish they had hot and sour soup for me to wash it all down with! The service was really good! It's SO busy, so I'm glad our friends made the reservation before we got there. The server was nice and the hostess was very accommodating. It does get a little loud, but overall, I loved the ambiance!
So on the drive home from Cali we had to fuel/charge up ourselves and the car and Fritzie W. and I saw Yang Kee Dumpling. Dumplings? Sold. Pork soup dumpling, shumai and a savoy and dessert filled bao bun. This kept me energized driving two and half hours back into Reno! They were delicious. I don't think but one or two pieces actually made it back home. You've got to love these little holes in the wall per se, these hidden gems, but here in the Davis area they seem to have fans because that place was packed 10 minutes after opening. The ambiance was amazing, thumping during that first half an hour for a Sunday! They were serving up some smell good dishes! Service was good and the hostess polite and courteous, despite our food not being ready at the estimated time but I get it. Busy busy. This is definitely a spot I would go to--to get a quick bite again.
Stumbled and found this place on accident while charging our cars nearby w In Davis. I liked their shumai and salted egg custard the most! Omg I'd come here just for the bao. We also ordered the shrimp soup dumplings . All were so good. 4 stars because it took forever for our order but the wait was worth it. Priced fairly and good portions .

Took my kids to Yang Kee Dumpling and we all left super happy (and very full!). The dumplings were fresh, crispy, and full of flavor--total comfort food. Even my picky eater was impressed, which says a lot! The vibe is super chill and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy good food, and not feel rushed. We were all trading bites and already talking about what we'll get next time. Definitely a new family favorite--we'll be back for sure! read more
I'm so glad to discover this awesome dumpling place in Davis! I was worried they would get super busy during lunch so I made a reservation on Yelp beforehand. However, turns out that wasn't necessary on a weekday around 11. The server was quick and attentive, and all the food came out in no time! We ordered all the classics: Soup dumplings (xiao long bao), shumai, har gaw, and pan fried pork baos. If you ever visit, I would say these are the must-haves. In addition, we tried a couple of their dishes: salt & pepper fish and curry brisket beef (with rice). The portions were filling and the flavor on point! Would definitely come back for my dumpling fix. read more

This restaurant has good food and generous sevings, and is not overpriced. I would go back here if I happen to be close by. I just dont understand why is there a misplaced piece of carrot in the dumpling. The restaurant looks clean and organized so we trusted the misplaced carrot was clean too. read more

It's voted #1 on Top Places to Eat in Davis & Vacaville by Yelp Elites for 2024. So I came in super hyped. And the hype is real. The place is super busy on Sunday night. The inside is not huge but clean and cozy. We put our name down and waited for about 10mins for a table. Which is very reasonable. While we wait I looked at the dumpling making in the kitchen. Love that you can see the craft. We ordered: Hongkong milk tea: it's so cute with a frozen cow in the cup (the frozen cow has Yank Kee log on there) it's deep of tea flavor and perfectly sweet Salt and pepper fish fillet: the light crispy batter on the outside is so thin. And the fish on the inside is super tender. It's delicious! Crab and Pork soup dumpling: it has a decent amount of soup in there. The dumpling skin is durable and holds the filling well. Savory and tasty! Beef garlic noodle: omg if you love garlic you have to get this. The noodle is cooked perfectly and the sweet and savory beef really goes well with the garlic noodle~ Pepper beef dumpling: these are juicy! The beef is savory and the dumpling skin is chewy. A different vibe from the soup dumplings but both are delicious! Red bean blueberry mochi: this is a "today special" dessert. They are so cute! The mochi is super soft and the filling is more blueberry than red bean. It's tart and sweet very good! I enjoyed everything! Service is super fast. A few minutes after we placed the order, food came flying in haha. I was so hungry so I appreciated it. I can't wait to come back! read more

We loved that there was plenty of free parking here and it was in the same parking lot of Tesla chargers. They have yelp waitlist so if it crowded you can get in line from home. The service was quick and efficient but we were not impressed with the food. The food was just ok, kind of bland. The pan fried dumplings were the best of the dishes but not fried tasted baked. The won tons were thin skinned, the chili was ok not spicy. The dumplings were ok, nothing that I would return for. read more

We were served completely raw chicken. It was disrespectful. My sister ate an entire raw dumpling before realizing. I ate half a raw dumpling. Now we're waiting to get salmonella. Staff briefly apologized and took it back, but that was it. No manager check-in, no attempt to make it right. When you serve someone raw poultry, shouldn't there be more than just sorry for a health hazard? Not asking for freebies. Stay safe out there. read more

Thank you Yelpers for helping me find this delicious dim sum place by accident! I was randomly looking for any restaurant address in Davis and I thought what the heck....let's try it! What won me over is that that have sautéed pea sprouts which are my fav. It's not on the menu and the nice waiter told me about it when I asked if they had any other vegetables other than green beans on the menu. Thank goodness I asked! It's quite pricey at $20, but so yummy! We also ordered siomai, Shanghai siomai, chive dumplings, chili oil wontons, and shrimp fried rice. We enjoyed everything and the portions were a good size. I especially enjoyed my HK milk tea that had a cow shaped ice figure. So cute and the drink reminded me of my favorite milk tea I used to get at Tea Station in Newark many years ago (sadly they closed). I'll definitely come back to try their other dishes like the curry bao. read more

Short wait without reservations for Monday night dinner. Sauteed string beans with black bean sauce was served first. The flavors were very nice. The beans had a nice snap. We were a party of 2, but the serving size is quite a lot and could probably feed 3-4. Wonton in chili oil were 12 pieces so the size is smaller than what you would find in wonton soup. More filling than wrapper made a nice ratio. HK shumai was ok compared to the other selections. Salt and pepper fish was nice and crispy. We were surprised how each piece retained its heat during the course of the meal. Yang Chow fried rice was the last item and it did not disappoint. This rice and the string beans were the stars of the show. Ambiance is casual. We were seated at a small table, which was limited to fit all five items. We had to consolidate our entrees into shared plates. We had dumplings during our previous visits, which were top notch and savory. This spot is highly recommended. We will return again and stick with the obvious stars: dumplings. read more
Pretty good dumpling place. One of the few good places in Davis. Located right next to the Tesla supercharger station, a lot of Tesla drivers come here for food while waiting for their cars to charge! The interior is very clean, and seems to be recently renovated. Everything looks modern, even the style of the menu. The food is pretty good. The pan-fried dumplings was served hot and had juice inside, which was great. Quality of the food is good. Service is also pretty good. We originally ordered take out and asked to change to dine-in, and they helped us find a table even during rush hour. After that they served us drinks and food and gave us extra utensils. The staff are all very friendly. Overall, a great place for lunch/dinner. Would drop by again, especially if I am in Davis! read more

Food is always soooo good here! I came with a group of 5 and we loved everything that we ordered. We got salt and pepper fish filet (9/10), garlic noodles with beef (10/10), pork XLB (8/10), pork pan fried dumpling (10/10), singapore noodles (7/10) and chili oil wonton (7/10). Servers are really kind and accommodating. One order came out really late so the server didn't include that in the bill! The restaurant itself is really spacious and always seems to have a waitlist. Fortunately, there's a lot of seating so I don't remember ever having to wait too long to get seated. The food comes out relatively fast after you order. Thank you Yangkee dumpling! read more
My partner and I stopped by on a Friday afternoon is Yang Kee was bustling with customers. We ordered four dishes: XLB, Har Gow, Dry Chow Fun and Garlic Green beans. All of the dishes were delicious and not oily at all! We didn't order it, but it seemed like the salt and pepper pork was popular and portions were really good! I loved how festive YK was in their decorations, especially around LNY time. I also really liked the fact that you're able to see the chefs making the dumplings fresh! read more

Everything about the food and service was 10/10. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by friendly hosts who promptly took us to our table. Our server came right over and we let him know it was our first time at Yang Kee. He explained the entire menu and noted his faves. The Pork Soup Dumplings, Shrimp Fried Rice, Sautéed Broccoli, and hot Jasmine tea were all incredible. The dumplings were made fresh and hot, the fried rice was as tender and flavorful, and the broccoli was garlicky and crisp. The ambiance was fun with upbeat music. You can even watch fresh dumplings being made as you dine. read more
Our first visit and a BIG THANKS to all the previous Elite posters as their reviews convinced us that this place would be great - and it was. Easy parking in a small shopping center and thanks to making a Yelp reservation we were quickly seated at 11:15AM. Restaurant was already very busy. First impression was the extreme cleanliness of the entire space. Not a speck of dust or a smudge anywhere - including the spotless restroom. The vibe is upbeat, staff were very friendly and solicitous, especially to us being newbies. Having photos of all the food on the menu is extremely helpful to this non-Cantonese speaking patron. Our waiter, Jonny, explained everything and answered all of our questions. Pro Tip 1: order everything you want right away, including dessert. Things come out as they are finished in the kitchen so we continuously had hot yummy food coming out. Pro Tip #2: everything is cooked fresh and to order so be prepared for everything to be steaming, tongue burning, hot. Everything we had was simply outstanding although we didn't get our Egg Tarts as we had waited to order them and it was going to take 30-45 minutes (see Pro Tip #1). The Salt and Pepper Fish were divine! Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality and freshness and wonderful flavors. It's also really fun to see into the prep areas and watch things being made! It quite a drive for us but this is going to be a regular stop on the Yummy Train! read more

Went here about an hour after opening and they were packed. Thankfully we only waited like 10 min to get seated. I ended up getting the curry cause I do love me some curry. The curry was awesome. The beef was tender and veggies were cooked perfectly. I also had the milk tea with the bear ice which was delicious as well. Highly recommend coming here with a group since it's family style. read more

Fantastic dumplings. The food is generously portioned and very flavorful. The crab and pork soup dumplings were a real standout (market price of crab effects the price of this item but today they were $21). The salt and pepper spare ribs were also very tasty. Wait times can be a bit long during peak hours. Get on the waitlist on your drive over on the Yelp app to help ensure you are seated not long after you arrive. Interior is well decorated and includes a great view of the kitchen where you can watch as a variety dumplings are made. read more

I am so glad I stumbled upon this place on a complete fluke in Davis. Since then I've been here probably four or five times. I absolutely love their Xiao long Bao. They also have hand pulled noodles made in house that are delicious. If you have an electric vehicle, there's Tesla parking right there. Do not miss out come in and have a bite. read more
Reservation recommended [Davis CA] We came here for dinner before heading to a Yelp Experience event in Davis. The restaurant is located on the other side of the freeway from Downtown Davis. Now I see why they recommend making a reservation... it was a full house, busy and loud ambiance BUT we were lucky that a table just cleared and we were seated in less than 5 minutes. We ordered the Garlic Noode w/ Beef, Salt Pepper Spare Ribs, and the HK Shumai... everything was delicious. My eyes were bigger than my stomach... so many different dumplings and bao buns I'd like to try. Perhaps another dinner date... or another Yelp Davis event will bring us back. Prices were reasonable. We had different servers throughout our dining experience (they were all constantly on the move) but our main server was very good in giving our table attention especially when the restaurant was super busy. The crowd slowed down by the time we left around 7:50p so I'm not sure if that's a good time to come and be seated right away. Review #3189 read more
So glad that Davis finally has a dumpling /xlb spot! This is probably our fave in the area. It's located in a strip mall with a longs drugs and sine tesla superchargers. Parking lot is huge so there's usually no issues with parking. Dining in usually has a long wait but we usually do take out. We love getting their xlb, corn and pork dumplings, the honey walnut shrimp and noodles! Their xlb have a thin delicate skin packed with soup and juicy pork filling. Sometimes the skins break easily but not often. The other dumplings have also been good and we normally get them steamed or boiled. The pan fried noodles with seafood is one of our faves here along with the beef chow fun. It tastes authentic and reminiscent of really good hk restaurants we been to in the sf Bay Area. Total for 2: $70 read more

If someone were to tell me this is a DTF dupe, I would so agree. For a hungry party of 5, we ordered a lot of food. Surprisingly, the portions were honestly worth the price! - peking pork ribs - siu mai - pork XLB - pan fried pork dunplings - beef chow fun - honey walnut shrimp - 1 bowl of rice If I went to UC Davis right now, this is easily my top favorite spots for Chinese food and in general. If you decide to try this spot out, definitely sign up on the waitlist on Yelp before you even get there. It is definitely a lot more busier at night read more

Din Tai Fung in Davis?? Nope, but I got something close or even better ! On my recent trip back to good ol' cow-town , I stumbled upon a modern new Chinese restaurant in south Davis. When you walk in, you'll feel the cozy vibes of families and students in a simple yet classy interior. . You can peer through the glass to watch them handcrafting dumplings in the kitchen. ! Now, the food: - warm, right amount of dough, juicy, soupy - pork & shrimp, perfect for 2, dim sum - crispy, gravy sauce delicious, home-food - crisp, warm, well-seasoned () - hot, meat-to-soup ratio, soup actually stays inside wrapper Overall, large portions, perfect for sharing, real authentic Chinese food . Dim sum or home-style. Definitely make a reservation on Yelp beforehand as Yang Kee is quite popular during peak times . Wish this spot was open back when I was living here! read more

These dumplings are absolutely legit! It's a totally authentic atmosphere and there is a clear glass to see the experts making dumplings in the kitchen. Everything is made from scratch and the quality shows. The staff were friendly and our food was prepared quite quickly for a to go order. We came here while our tesla was charging and it was a great decision! The soup dumplings just melt in your mouth. Eat these in one bite. The ground pork was bursting with flavors and spices. We didn't end up using any soy sauce because we just wanted to taste the dumplings as is. We will definitely be back on our next road trip. read more

My family and I loved this place. We happened to find it by luck after making a stop at Carmax. It's our go to place for dumplings and their duck is very good. The duck may be or seem a bit expensive at around $76 dlls., but it is well worth it! I highly recommend it. I also recommend the Beef Chowmein. I tried the Kang Pao Chicken, but I don't recommend this plate here. I've had better ones and frankly it was not good at this location. read more

My go to dumpling spot in Davis! I have been numerous times but today we got their black pepper beef dumplings, chicken dumplings and chicken dry fry chow fun, all of which were delicious. Also plenty of food for 2 people. I do wish they had more non-pork options; I really wanted soup dumplings, but my boyfriend doesn't eat pork and there were no options without pork :( Also shoutout to our waiter Sebastian!! We were avoiding the items with pork, and he noticed without us even mentioning it. He ended up pointing out that even the shrimp soup dumplings and hargow we wanted to order had pork fat in the ingredients. We've ordered both of these items before and were unaware of this. Really appreciate his attentiveness. He even went back to confirm on the ingredient list to make sure none of the items we ordered had pork. I honestly don't think I've ever met a waiter like him -- give the man a raise LOL! read more

This place always hits the spot. Staff are friendly and food comes out pretty quickly. The dumplings are all packed with flavor and pair great with their fresh chilli oil! This place is a go-to spot for quick but delicious food read more

Is it possible to get a gift card at your Davis location to be used in Roseville?
I believe if you bought the physical gift card at the Davis location, you should be able to use it at their Roseville location because they are part of the same company. Third part online gift cards may be only tied to the location you bought it…
