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 wasn't prepared for the chilly day in Davis. I changed my outfit several times before we left the…read morehouse. The weather report said 65 degrees and overcast today. 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.

They constantly have specials that they rotate in and out and they're always delicious. Their karaage is some of the juiciest karaage I've had, and they have special draft beers from Japan. I'd recommend going during some of their happy hour offerings for a good beer and food. While they are a little on the pricier side, their portions well make up for it. The quality of food and service here is unmatched, and I often bring friends from out of town here. The iced matcha has free refills and is one of my favorite parts. But the low lit ambiance and art murals are always really nice to look at. Their booths are private and roomy, and they have plenty of seating. You order at the counter, but definitely still get full service here.

At the time, they were transitioning away…read morefrom their original yakitori-focused concept and putting a greater emphasis on ramen and donburi bowls. Today, that change has become permanent, with the restaurant now operating as Yuchan Shokudo. Even during the transition, the food absolutely hit. I especially loved the cozy red-and-black interior, which gave off warm izakaya vibes. - Tan Tan Ramen -- rich and creamy broth with Japanese noodles, tender chashu, minced chicken, menma, bean sprouts, and green onions; packed with protein and full-bodied flavor - Tokyo Shoyu Ramen -- noodles in a lighter chicken bone and fish shoyu broth, topped with pork belly, half a tamago egg, fish cake, menma, bean sprouts, and green onions; lighter but still satisfying, though I wished there was a bit more pork belly Located in the heart of downtown Davis, it's an easy walk from campus. Prices have risen over the years, so it feels more like an occasional treat than a casual student meal these days. We also ordered a side of sake to complement our ramen. Since then, the former sake bar has been removed as part of the restaurant's evolution into a full-fledged shokudo concept. Service was friendly, our food arrived promptly, and the overall ambience struck a nice balance between a cozy ramen shop and a casual Japanese eatery.

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.

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.

It's Asian-fusion so some of the combos were interesting (miso-mushroom burger) and sounded intriguing (Birria ramen). I went with the Birria Fried Rice and she got the cucumber salad and chicken wings. Her food came out well before mine so that was kind of annoying. But she said she didn't mind if her wings were hot and the salad was already cold. It was 10 more minutes before my meal came out. I was pleasantly surprised with the portion size. The fried egg on top was a bonus! The meat was cooked very well - tender and flavorful. The rice was a little more saucy than I would have preferred, but still yummy. I ended up taking home 2/3 of it. I love when I have lunch the next day!! The free Photo Booth was a great addition! The restaurant was empty while we were there, but we arrived when they first opened, so... By the time we left, a few of the tables were being used. Service was great other than my food coming out so much later than hers.

We walked in and weren't sure if we sat ourselves or not. A server came out and showed us to a table with menus after a minute. It did take a little while for her to come back and take our order. We each ordered an XL bowl of phở ($18). I got the flank steak (tái) and she got the vegetarian (chay). The phở was delicious! The ratio of meat to noodles was appropriate. The add-ins (beansprouts, basil, lime and jalapeño slices) were the perfect amount for 2 bowls. We didn't eat the jalapeños, but we didn't leave anything else on the plate. I hate wasting food. I read that the service here is what is lacking. Our server came by twice to check on us, but didn't refill our glasses until I asked. She was the only one working the floor while we were there. It was busy enough that the noise level was high at times and then it lulled to just us talking. She didn't clear away our bowls and wasn't super attentive, but we didn't mind because we were catching up. As we were getting ready to leave, another worker came in, but the no one came out in the front for at least 10 minutes. One couple came in, sat down, looked at a menu and then left because no one even acknowledged them. Overall for us, we had a great experience. Food was yummy. Service was good for us since we didn't need much. Ambiance was elegant, but not. I'll be back for another bowl of phở.
