    Lumpia special
    Laura A.

    Quick service, easy parking, economical for decent food. I tried the green beans with chicken. The beans were served blistered and a bit too oily for my liking, lots of onions which I don't care for, and added chicken for my protein. It comes with a large portion of rice and fresh broccoli. We also tried pork lumpia on the daily special menu - 6 for $6 - very flavorful, tightly wrapped and served with a sweet dipping sauce. My dining partner ordered honey walnut shrimp. It was a generous portion of fried shrimp but did not include walnuts. They added them in when we brought the error to their attention. If you're looking for inexpensive filling Chinese food, I would recommend this place. They also serve boba tea and there were lots of students inside the sparse interior dining area.

    This is the spot to come for cheap food, massive portions and quick service. This place has always been a staple for end of the month eats when my pay check is slim but I still want good food and a place to study. Expect a usually steady stream of people and students coming in and out and a no fuss no frills dinning experience that will leave your fill and happy without draining the bank account.

    Soft Scrambled Egg Noodles with Shrimp
    Ricardo G.

    Very quick and kind service with a clean interior. Soft Scrambled Egg Noddle Plate w/ Shrimp - 8/10 They actually got my order wrong, I ordered it with rice, but that's okay. I really enjoyed the contrast between the soft inner noodle and the crunch outside. The only complaint I have is how oily it was. Aside from this, very good amount of shrimp, tasty egg, and nice spring onion.

    beef chow fun

    worst food, it's cheap but it's really oily and salty and just overall bad. The service is slow and the cooks are overworked.

    Delicious food and quick service. Large portions for around $7 each. would definitely come back

    Loco Moco

    Revisited Open Rice Kitchen recently and overall, it was a decent experience. The atmosphere is casual with plenty of open seating, which makes it easy to find a spot even during busier hours. We ordered at the counter, and the boba drinks came out pretty quickly. I had the milk tea, and you can definitely taste the powder in it. It wasn't the smoothest, but given how affordable the drinks and food are, it's hard to complain too much. Our food was also served fairly fast, but there was an issue with my friend's order. It was incorrect a couple of times, so she ended up getting her meal much later than the rest of us; hence, why I took off a star. And I also took off a star since the food was inconsistent across the dishes my friends and I ordered. That was a bit frustrating and definitely something that took away from the experience. That said, Open Rice Kitchen is the kind of place you go to when you're looking for cheap Asian food. It's not perfect, but the low prices help make up for some of the flaws. If you're in the area and want a quick meal, it's a solid option.

    Beef classic fried rice
    KayAnna S.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Davis! They've kept their prices affordable for years and offer such great food. I know not everything on their menu is perfect, but I've always loved pan-fried noodles with the soft scrambled egg, their milk teas, and any of their chicken wings (although Thai chili is the best one). Whenever I need a pick-me-up meal, I come here for the pan-fried noodles I love so much. With my most recent visit, I ordered my usual pan-fried noodles with chicken and Thai chili chicken wings, while my husband ordered the classic fried rice with beef. You already know that I loved my order, although the noodles were a little bit more soggy on top than usual but still perfectly pan-fried on the bottom. My husband didn't enjoy his fried rice that much, but if it was me I would have either ordered their kimchi fried rice or pork belly fried rice instead. Definitely order the Nutella wontons. You will not be disappointed. Can't wait for next time! Maybe I'll try something new for an entree finally. Maybe not.

    Loco Moco
    Alexis R.

    I absolutely enjoyed eating here. I ordered the pork belly fried rice while my cousin ordered the loco moco. We also ordered some drinks too. We got their jasmine milk tea and lychee black tea. Very budget friendly and delicious. I would definitely want to come back again !!

    The food was really good for the price, a little oily but it is pretty yummy. Everything we tried was good and we would def come back to try more. Food came Out fast and staff was friendly :) a Lot tables available and chill ambiance

    Black Pepper Udon (to-go)
    Angela A.

    WOW! I regret not knowing about this place until now. Unbeatable prices!! I love that this place makes delicious food with generous portions at affordable prices. Shoutout to the owner for not increasing prices like every other business and making a budget friendly spot in town for Davis students! My first encounter at Open Rice Kitchen was very welcoming and friendly. I walked up to the register as the first customer and the man standing there was all ready to answer any questions I had. He told me the most popular items under each category and have great recommendations. Some included: beef chow fun (best eaten right away), spam fried rice, pork belly fried rice, orange chicken, and potstickers to name a few. The udon dishes caught my eye since I love udon. I got the black pepper udon with BBQ pork and it tasted exactly how I imagined. You taste the black pepper flavor that's prominent in the dish and I love the addition of onions and bell peppers. I will continue to support this business while in Davis. If you are craving Asian-inspired dishes then look no further!

    Wonton Noodle Soup

    STOP sleeping on this place ASAP. Everything is cooked fresh, comes out hot, and is packed with insane flavor. The soup is PIPING HOT every time--like soul-warming, clears-your-sinuses hot. Drinks never miss, and the boba is easily some of the best in town. Service is lightning fast and effortless every single time. It's a cozy, low-key spot that's always buzzing with customers for a reason. AND THE RICE?? Hands down the best thing on the menu--absolutely elite, main-character energy. Do NOT skip it. The sauces are ridiculously good, especially the Thai chili--sweet, spicy, addictive, put-it-on-everything yummy! Portions are MASSIVE, prices are unbeatable (nothing over $10!), and the value is unreal. If you're on the fence, this is your sign--order the rice and thank me later.

We had the seafood tofu hotpot, shrimp wonton, garlic green bean, mongolian beef, half hainan chicken, and ny steak spaghetti to-go. Was a little busy at 7 on a holiday so we waited like ten minutes to get our order in, the guy memorized our order right as I said it lol. He confirmed and we got our soup in ten mins, ten mins for green beans and mongolian beef, another ten minutes for our chicken, then like seven for hotpot. Most disappointing was chicken, it's not hainan at all and just standard hong kong white chicken. Taste is fine and fresh but was sad. Best was the seafood hotpot AND the wonton soup. Both had great flavor and saltiness and was just sooo good. Wontons were very tasty and had a lot of meat, definitely both pork and shrimp, and soup even had little shrimp in it ifkyk. The seafood hotpot had great variety and flavor, my parents were pleased with the fish bits in it, the tofu was yummy bc it's fried tofu, the crab texture was not great maybe overcooked and I didn't like the soft cucumber but otherwise the broccoli scallop shrimp tofu fish bok choy was all great. Green beans and mongolian beef SERIOUSLY needed some wok flavor and wish the beef had black pepper because the seasoning was a bit lacking (wok flavor would be great here) and overall the vegetables were a little undercooked. They were addictive though I definitely kept going back for more. Hot tea is jasmine tea. Service was a bit lackluster but totally understandable and even though I was in a rush we were in and out by an hour and like ten minutes which worked. Ambiance wise, I didn't like how the lights are half brighter and whiter than the sun and half nicely softly lit. Tables are nice wood and a bit sticky but okay. There's random Chinese TV on the walls, very traditional lol and I think no music. Overall very pleased! Will definitely come back as much as possible to support, and highly highly recommend. I went harsh on Tim's because I was expecting perfect dishes, and even though some stuff didn't hit, everything was way beyond average.

    Had those place a couple times now and it's pretty good! Seems like a nice family business…read morespecializing in home style Chinese favorites. I liked their twice cooked pork, beef and green beans, and braised tofu. I can see this place being very popular for students especially.

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!

I may come back to try the beef roll in the future, but based on this visit, I would say the food was average overall.

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. ^~^
