We ordered at a small counter and then you are sat at a table. Our hostess was great and pushed 2 tables together for us instead of having us go outside (it was a little chilly) or wait for a bigger table to open up. Second good sign was it smelled delicious!!!! We sat down and didn't have to wait long for our food. One different thing was the add-ins plate didn't have any bean sprouts. I liked that it wasn't covered in add-ins (basil, jalapeños, onions, lime wedges). I always feel so badly when it's not all eaten and that it goes to waste. I didn't ask about the bean sprouts but I was bummed we didn't have them. There is just one standard sized bowl which was great for my son and me, but it was too much for my daughter. They both got the mix of ribeye and meatballs and, like most restaurants that serve phở, they wished there was more meat. We added the hoisin sauce and Sriracha. I thought it was a bit salty, but it was tasty. Typically you can tell how good a broth is by how much is left over in the bowl. We did not drink it all. We also ordered Vietnamese coffees with condensed milk. We thought for sure we would be wired, but it did the opposite - we were so sleepy soon after! It may have been the sugar content. All in all, this was a good experience. We probably won't come back since the broth was not our favorite.

The food came out quickly and the broth was super flavorful! Portion size was a little smaller than expected for the price, but that's not too bad considering that it's in downtown Davis.

I loved chatting with my server and it really made my night. Totally will be back.

My new favorite place for pho. I've never had a bad or off batch so far. I used to go to Pho Tasty…read morebut the last few times I've been, their broth was very off to the point I was skeptical to eat it. I visit this location whenever my bf wants an Ali Baba's burrito. What I like is that my bf will order his burrito and he will meet me inside this restaurant and the staff never have an issue with him joining me. I always order #11 (steak and tripe) and ask for extra cilantro. For ~$13 a bowl, it's definitely worth it. Also cheaper than Pho Tasty. But most importantly, I appreciate the service. I went there today and there is an older man who seated me, had a smile on his face the entire time, and even brought out another fan without me asking. My only critique is that the seating and surrounding areas could be a little cleaner. Sometimes I see food crumbs or stains and once a spiderweb with a spider near the booth.

I love Vietnamese food and was excited, I thought my family said this place had good reviews.... Now I checked the yelp page to write a review and see I'm not the only one that didn't like it. I ordered the #26 vermicelli bowl with grilled chicken and egg roll, and it was not good. Usually it comes with fish sauce but I didn't like whatever sauce they provided. The service was good and I liked that they had outdoor seating but just not quality vermicelli bowl, or chicken. My dad liked his curry bowl though. Maybe their pho is better. We sat outside and it was a beautiful day otherwise.

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.

We stopped by here for an impromptu dinner because we were really craving beef noodle soup. The…read moreshop itself is the size of a typical Boba place, fit may be about six tables or so?. That being said, it's pretty cleaned and well maintained. Now for the food: we ordered the passion grapefruit jasmine tea with aloe, beef noodle soup, the cold noodles with peanut sauce, and the pan fried dumpling. The drink was standard, though a little sweet for my liking. Next time we'll adjust the sweetness to be a little bit lower. The aloe was strangely very mushy and not very enjoyable. The cold noodles with peanut sauce were a little disappointing. I found it to be overwhelmingly, salty, though the rest of it tasted fine. I enjoyed the beef noodle soup more, especially once you added the pickled mustard greens. The noodle texture was not my favorite, but soup was pretty good and the beef was well cooked. Overall, it really itched that scratch and I was satisfied. Both noodle dishes were hefty. It doesn't look like a lot of food because it comes out in plastic containers, but we were pretty satisfied by the amount of food that we got. The star of the show were definitely the pan fried buns. They were super crispy and well fried on the outside, and the inside was delicious. Lots of juice, well seasoned, perfectly cooked in my opinion. To be honest, we were just OK with the meal until we ate these pan fried buns! Will definitely return to try more buns and bowels and some other dishes that they have on the menu.

Most of the tables were taken but we were grateful to find a booth to sit in. I want to first mention that the Vietnamese Coffee was so good! My Vietnamese boyfriend said it tasted like how his mom makes it at home. We tried their spring rolls, banh mi, and pho. The spring rolls mostly had cabbage in it with shrimp which was alright but I probably wouldn't order again, I did like the sauce though! The banh mi was also okay, on the dry side but plenty of meat inside! As for the pho we got number one and I'd rate it a 7/10 overall with the size, broth flavor, and the noodles. I did like that they were generous with the meat toppings! Will satisfy your cravings! 4/5 because we waited about 25 minutes to get our bowl of pho :(

Easy place to land when you just want something satisfying without overthinking it. Solid 3.5-4 stars.

Food- crazy good in a location you would not suspect…read more Service- basic counter service, mainly takeout with a few tables to dine at the gas station. Ambiance- shares its aura with a quickie-mart à la gas station. Take that exactly how it sounds. I see old reviews. Like pre-COVID reviews. Much like most everything else, it just costs more. Still very delicious stuff. Still worth a try. The shrimp dumplings (har gow) weren't the cheapest but they were good. $7.25 for four dumplings good? Probably, as you don't have to make the trek elsewhere. It's a fun addition to the gas station and I'm surprised more students living in South Davis don't go there. That may be because they all go home each weekend and that's fine too. In the mood for Chinese? Need fuel? This is the place to take care of both.

When I have gone in they are very nice and because it's in a tucked away area it's pretty quiet. The food is great, but the 5 spice beef noodle soup absolutely slaps and is worth the trip if you enjoy this entree. Most of the time when you order a soup like this it can be loaded with gristle and fat, but not here. They load you up with pure meat here, and I'm here for it. As for the other food, my kids love the wontons and pot stickers. The fried rice is great, I feel like they add more egg than usual and I'm down for that. Their other soups are great too, but it's no beef noodle soup.

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.
