My friends and I came here on a weekday afternoon to try some dim sum. There was plenty of parking in the area along with quick service due the restaurant being partially empty. Siu Mai: This was classic & well-executed, and there was a strong mushroom taste which I loved. Shrimp Dumplings: These were also classic, flavorful, and fresh. Jelly Fish & Sliced Beef Tendon: I loved the texture and spiciness of the general dish, and they were seasoned well. Beef Noodle Rolls: These were okay in my opinion, but silky and tender. Pan-Fried Turnip Cake: I loved the crisp outside, and it was soft on the inside. It did not feel too heavy and better than other places I've tried. Green Beans: These were slightly oily, but the portion size was generous for the price. Preserved Egg & Pork Congee: The congee was okay, but it was comforting and smooth and still had a good flavor. read more

Food is just ok.i guess you just pay for the venue because Four Season has better food. Customer service needs a lot of improvement. Servers are rude, they got our order wrong but wont apologize and even argued with attitude Water is free. Hot tea is a dollar each so if youre asked if you want tea just like when they ask you if you would like water, youll be charged, They decided for the 18% gratuity right away even though there's a 15% option. Would not recommend. Would not come back. read more

This review is from dining on a Thursday night around 6:15pm. Fried rice - Nice flavor and substantial serving size for 2 persons. Shumai and dumplings - Ok, but probably best to consume during the lunch hour as quality is likely better. 1/2 Roast Duck - Solid entree that packed flavor. It was delicious. Salt & Pepper Fish - Another solid entree that was cooked perfectly. Chicken feet - Not a common dish that was a main attraction for the visit, however, it was average at best. 3 stars because I had higher expectations from the previous hype and dim sum being available for dinner. The restaurant has a lot of tables but it is dated. We sat in a booth and the seats were old and filled with cracks. The interior could benefit from a renovation. read more

Food was decent-the congee was my personal favorite. The waiters were very hard to flag down (they seemed understaffed for how busy they were). Standard dim sum restaurant vibe (somewhat homey, not super well-decorated, big tables). read more

We had a craving for dim sum Saturday morning and took a drive to Well Season located in the sleepy, college town of Davis. For what we expected to be dim sum "rush hour" at 11am, there was ample parking in a dedicated lot, and our family of 4 was seated immediately. Cool! Love the menu/marker system which had very necessary photos to educate and entice my decisions lol...we ordered: Siu Mai Shrimp Dumplings Shrimp Noodle Rolls BBQ Pork Noodle Rolls Pan-Fried Turnip Cake Baked BBQ Pork Buns Green Onion Pancake Potstickers Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice Egg Custard Tart The quality of food was excellent, and the plates were very reasonably priced. The Siu Mai and BBQ pork buns were huge! My kids gobbled their sticky rice, while the favorite dish for me was the turnip cake. I thought the servers were great, they were kind and helpful. I was pleasantly surprised to see a bill way under $100, and we had a bunch of leftovers later that day. Score!! read more

Love Well Season for their large selection of entrees and dumplings. We are always greeted once we come in and have Never been disappointed by their quick and friendly service. This restaurant does get pretty crowded for lunch and dinner so it can become a bit noisy, but it's a very family friendly place with lots of seating for large parties. Def one of our fav spots to get dim sum without having to cross two bridges now a days. read more

Don't get me wrong, the food here is incredible! The a fried chow mein, BBQ pork fried rice, the dumplings and won tons, prawns are all fantastic. The reason I won't go back is because their employees are rude, the man didn't even hold open the door for me when I was walking out behind him with armfuls of stuff I just bought from them. If you're white adjacent definitely go here. If you're Black like me, we've got rice at home. read more

WOW FACTOR? Yes, lots of options and most dishes have photos, which help in choosing. HAVE AGAIN: Honey walnut shrimp (less sweet than most restaurants, which is good) and many of the dim sum choices. NOT HAVE AGAIN: Meatballs. Careful not to have too many dumplings. read more

Let's see... the skin on haagow was not delicate nor thin. The mango custard was good. The beef stomach was good. The beef chow fun came out extremely fast. Nothing bad to say about this place. It's the only dim sum in Davis. It's way better at being a dimsum store than other restaurants bring what they advertise, say a poke place or a Korean place or a McDonald's. It delivers on all the right notes and flavors. Don't expect high end and you won't be disappointed. The staff is very canto and friendly. The only thing missing are Chinese elderly reading their Chinese newspaper. Tho the place used to be a chevys and an Applebee's , yet it worked well as a dimsum place. Ambiance is great. Also they have great dinner and lunch menus. Solid A- read more

My sister and I were craving dim sum so here we are. We ordered shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, seafood scallop dumplings, steamed custard buns, and green tea sesame balls. The shrimp dumplings and the green tea sesame balls were the highlight of our meal. I love the texture and the filling of the green sesame balls. Overall, the food here is pretty consistent. There is also a lot of booth and table seating available inside. Parking here also is never an issue. So you guys may be wondering if the food here is consistent, seating is always available, and parking is never a problem, then why only a 3. The reason why I rated this place a 3 is the service... The staff is nice however, they rarely came by to take away our finished dishes or rarely refilled our water. I would understand if they were busy however, there were only 2 other people eating in the restaurant than us... Overall, this is a place that my family and I eat at every once in a while. They always deliver in terms of the food quality, however the service as I said can be hit or miss sometimes. Anyways... try it out if you like. :) read more

Went in with low expectations because of Davis food in general, came out pleasantly surprised. My boyfriend and I came by during what we thought would be the most dead hours...on a weekday at about 3PM. Low and behold, we were seated immediately and tended to throughout the meal. What we got: garlic spare ribs (10/5) -- a must order if you like the taste of fried chicken and garlic but with the meaty texture of pork! I was a bit skeptical since many places do not cook their spare ribs long enough and the result is this impossibly tough pork. However, this place fried the spare ribs perfectly so there was a crunchy exterior and juicy inside. They were surprisingly not very greasy either beef chow fun, dry style (5/5) -- my boyfriend can't stand bean sprouts and I had forgotten to ask for no bean sprouts even though they add to beef chow fun. It arrived at our table and I instantly smelled the wok hay. Fun was springy and well separated, onion still had bite to them, and the flavor was smoky, savory delight. It was so good that my boyfriend did not mind the bean sprouts siu mai (3/5) -- large and flavorful, but the texture was off. I expected texture from shiitake, shrimp, and pork and got only springiness reminiscent of a fishcake. I would not order this again har gow (4/5) -- solid although the skin was a bit too thick so it sloughed off after the first bite coconut bean jelly (4/5) -- it is basically coconut jello with some mung bean embedded throughout except the mung bean is still crunchy ??? it confused me a lot but the flavor is very good if you like coconut. My boyfriend did not like it because it is not sweet enough for him to think of it as a dessert seafood dumpling (4/5) -- We both enjoyed the flavor of this dumpling primarily due to the cilantro and plump texture char siu bao, baked (2/5) -- definitely the worst thing we ordered. The bun was on the dry side, char siu did not have nearly enough sauce or flavor, and there was too much bread compared to filling Overall, I look forward to trying more of their non dim sum items--salted fish eggplant clay pot, salt and pepper fish, and HK style noodle--as these types of dishes are better quality from what I have tried so far. read more

Ambiance: Davis Well Season is a dim sum restaurant in Davis with a typical dim sum layout. It has your brig fish tanks and large round tables that you see all of the time. It was also very open so you can see all 4 corners of the restaurant from anywhere you sit. Service: It took was too long to get a servers attention after you order food. I was trying to flag a server for 3 minutes before anyone noticed. Keep in mind the layout of the building and the fact that it was relatively empty . Food also took quite awhile. Food: Terrible. We got chicken feet, beef intestine, shrimp dumpling, garlic pork short rib, turnip cake, and noodle. The chicken feet were not that good. The flavor was dull and the chicken was soggy. The garlic pork short rib looked terrible and tasted like just regular short rib that were boiled. The turnip cake was dry but atleast had the correct flavor. The beef intestine was disgusting. The flavors were reminiscent of fungi that you would do in a biology lab. This was the second time in my life I spit a piece of food out from disgust. The noodles were the only redeeming factor as they were flavorful and well portioned. Note: please do not go. We went in hungry and optimistic. We left, disgusted and regretful. read more

A friend recommended we try this dim sum restaurant as it's nearby and we don't have to drive all the way to the Bay Area. The restaurant was previously another restaurant, I think, an Applebees, years ago. There's plenty of parking. When we came it was after the lunch rush. The place was almost empty with just a few customers dining. We were seated immediately and proceeded to order our dim sum choices. We didn't have to wait long for our orders. Everything was delicious. We thought the potstickers were a bit dry but it was ok. The flooring needs to be redone. Seems the planks are all bubbled up from too much moisture as if from mopping with too much water. The bathrooms need TLC. read more

It's Mothers Day. Please don't get me wrong, I'm all about giving Grace and showing a great amount of patience. When you're a table of 6 and you arrive just after opening and there is not very many parties/people seated and wait 20 minutes to flag someone down to give your order, it's disappointing. Especially for a place you frequent. It's my daughter's FIRST Mother's Day and she chose dim sum. We ordered shu mai, Chinese broccoli, chicken feet, duck, eggplant w/fillet fish, and a few other items. The point is, the food was good if it ever came out. Some items came others were forgotten or came out wrong. When we asked for correction, 20 minutes later we were told "We are cancelling your order because we are overwhelmed". OVERWHELMED?? I've never been told that at a long standing restaurant in all my life. Needless to say, the dim sum finally came when we were leaving...ended up taking it to go. Thanks for ruining my daughter's FIRST Mother's Day and mine. Your service was HORRIBLE and frankly, incredibly disappointing. Though we were patient, we ate what arrived in r packed to go. As a restaurant, you should be prepared for the large number of patrons and do better. #underwhelmed #mothersdayFAIL #alliwantedwasdimsum read more

The best Chinese food in Davis!! You know it's an authentic Chinese restaurant when there is salted fish on the menu. Salted fish with chicken fried rice is one of my favorite dishes so I couldn't resist it. I also ordered their salted fish eggplant with chicken clay pot. Both dishes were excellent with plenty of "wok hei" or that "seasoned flavor". In addition to those two dishes, I also ordered a chicken chow fun with gravy, golden chives yee fu noodles, west lake beef soup, beef tendon with jelly fish and some dim sim: egg tarts, chicken feet, pork sui mai, and lotus wrapped sticky rice. It was easy to find a dish that everyone wanted with the extensive menu and selection here. See my photo of their specials written on a dry erase board that won't be available on their regular menu or via their DoorDash page. There's plenty of spaces in the large parking lot. The restaurant was clean and well-kept, including the restrooms! The service and employees here were friendly and appreciative of our business since we ordered so much food. I'll stop by again the next time I pass through Davis! I'd love to try their seafood fish maw soup (usually served at wedding banquets), steamed pork patty with salted fish, salt and pepper ribs, and pea sprouts in broth. read more

It was decent if you're craving some dim sum. Some items may be better, some may be worse. They have a big menu. Unfortunately no rice noodle rolls after lunch hours. :( Deep fried pork dumplings were great, very chewy and good flavor, but super super greasy. One of the dumplings was oozing in oil nonstop lol. Steamed custard buns were good, nice and fluffy. Tasty filling. Deep fried stuffed taro puffs were not good, first time it came around the middle was sour tasting (going bad). They fired up a new batch which tasted more normal, (good creamy taro filling), but the middle was still cold. Idk how much I'd trust these. Pan fried chive pork dumplings were good, though the filling was a little tough. Shrimp dumpling was pretty mediocre, a bit bland. Pan fried turnip cake was also pretty bland and paste-y. Satay seafood roll was confusing, it tasted like bland veggie rolls with no wood ear mushroom (typically). Shrimp and scramble egg chow fun was not too bad, but had no other ingredients in it while being satay style. The shrimp were quite delicious and tender though, very large. Dried scallop dumpling had good filling to them, nice fragrant cilantro and wood ear mushroom for texture. Service was okay, good tea. Pretty spacious interior and parking lot as well. read more

I do not like to give bad reviews but I have to say, this place is not worth that many stars as posted on yelp. Definitely do not recommend this place. We decided to go here since we were hungry on saturday around 4pm on our way to Sacramento. We were the only one here when we arrived. Service was not great but we usually expect this at asian restuarants but being the only one here at the time before 2 other groups came in 10-15 minutes after us, you would think they would be more attentive instead of just sitting and being on their phones. That shoukd have been a red flag for us already. The other red flag was the chili sauce. I never seen it where it was almost black. It's like it was left out for months. I checked other tables and the chili was the same. Not a fan of that chili flavor at all. I ordered our usual dim sum dishes when we go to any dim sum places. Disappointed they didn't have the rice wraps but that might be a good thing since it saved us money and we didn't waste more food. The deep-fried shrimp ball was burnt and not crispy. Definitely avoid it. the chicken feet had no flavor. Seemed like they were lacking a lot of the ingredients like the oyster sauce with the bean sauce. It was bland that we only ate 2 pieces. I usually order 2 plates of chicken feet at most dim sum places. this was the second worst chicken feet I have tried. The xialongbao dumplings (not pictured) were awful. There were no broth and the meat was not good. I made a mistake by ordering 3 plates thinking no restaurant can mess that up ‍. We only ate 3 pieces out of the 12. The chau zhou style dumpling had no flavor. I only tasted the peanuts. The only thing that was good were the seafood scallop dumpling and the deep fried seafood roll. The beef stomach wasn't bad but nothing to rave about. I didn't comment on the shumai and the har gow since people's preference on these 2 dishes vary. Some like the har gow flower thin while some like them thick. These were more on the thicker side. Trying to save others from having a bad dim sum and food experience especially if it's their first time trying dim sum. I will have to find another place in Davis for dim sum if I have to make a pit stop during my drive to/from Sacramento. read more

We usually order take-out from here but decided to dine in on a weekday. The place was nearly empty when we arrived, but other patrons started trickling in closer to noon. Their menu has a wide selection of dim sum and dishes, and the food arrived promptly after we ordered. Everything was decent--nothing amazing but also not much to complain about. If you're hungry and want to grab a quick meal, this place gets the job done. read more

I used to be a frequent visitor of the City of Davis, as my brother went to the UC there. Back then, it was a sleepy cow town. The only Chinese restaurant was run by a guy named Joe and the chef was actually an UC employee. Fast forward to today, the city has transformed itself into a little big city with many Chinese food options. Well Season is a full-service dim sum restaurant conveniently located near the Hwy 80 Richards Blvd exit. My family and I came here for dim sum on 05/13/2023. It was pretty busy when we walked in just after 12:30pm. We were immediately seated by the staff. The interior was bright and clean. Several TVs were showing different food programs. There was a live fish tank near the back of the restaurant. Tea was brought to us quickly. There was no cart service. Ordering was done by marking items on a laminated menu. The selection was pretty vast. We ended up getting a dozen items or so. The food came out pretty quick. Judging from shapes of the dim sum, it appeared these were made in-house and not purchased from a third-party factory. Overall, the quality and taste were decent. It reminded me of dim sum in SF Chinatown in the 80s. The only thing I didn't like was some of items were lukewarm instead of hot. Service we received was good. The staff was friendly and refilled our tea a couple of times. As long as you don't expect a fancy dim sum experience here, this place will do, especially if you don't want to drive to Sacramento or Elk Grove. We will return. 3.5 stars rounding up to 4. BONUS MATERIAL: - Major credit cards accepted. - Ample parking on site. read more

We came here the day after New years, and it's located behind a hotel hidden behind different buildings. Once we arrived, parking was very easy to find, and we arrived around 11 AM. There weren't a lot of people inside and we were a large party of about 12. We sat down, and they provided a menu. We put how many of each we wanted with a marker. It was different because there were no carts walking around. You ordered everything and they brought it to you, which was pretty nice. The DIM SUM was BOMB!! All the dumplings and everything we got were delicious. I was kinda glad there weren't a lot of people because we really enjoyed being taken care of. The staff was very responsive and took good care of us. They had everything from haukaw, Shumai, shrimp noodle, etc. All my favorites. So good.. I'll definitely be back if I'm ever back around this area. read more

The menu is huge, both in physical size and quantity of options. There are quite a number of things that I can't eat, such as shrimp and pork, but even so, there was a wide variety of items that sounded delicious. So many items, so little stomach. A decision was aided by photos of many of the entrees on the menu. I dined with a friend, so we split two entrees. The portion sizes were large, and the food was delicious. There was enough food for both of us to bring home leftovers. I look forward to returning and trying other options on the extensive menu. They do not offer "lunch specials," so convincing my husband to try it will be a challenge, but I think he will enjoy the food too. read more

Pretty decent spot for Dim Sum and Chinese food! Had a lot of good options and was one of the only places I've seen with my favorite Westlake Beef Soup. I grew up in SoCal eating dim sum with my family every Sunday and missed it since moving to Davis. I've tried a couple other things places in Sac/Davis but like Well Season the most out of all of them. I've had their salt and pepper tofu and westlake beef soup to go and the portions are great, usually lasts me at least 2 meals. Service is also good too, maybe a bit slow with drink refills on busy days but overall they're pretty nice and the wait for food isn't long.

This is the Well Season location in Davis. I finally, got my Peking Duck today at Noon. Along with some of my favorite Dim Sum, Seafood Scallop Dumplings and Egg Custard Tart. Yum. This one, comes with the Bao Buns. I made sure this is a real Peking Duck, and not just a regular Roast Duck. It was so succulent, juicy, and flavorful. The Duck Skin was so crunchy. The contrast, texture, and combination in flavors is heavenly. It was out of this world. I had a few versions of this dish already, and this one is one of the best I ever had. The Seafood Scallop Dumplings were light and chewy, but not too chewy. The Egg Custard Tart is very nostalgic to me, and they were buttery and freshly baked, classic. I'm only here today. This is a good meal before I go back to the Northbay tomorrow. I was thinking this was going to be a 4.1-4.3 stars, but I give this 4.4 stars. read more

I had visited this place two times before, but this time I was so disappointed. The Food: We ordered dim sum today, and the quality isn't as good as last time. The Dim sum had thick dough and not much meat inside. The Service: The only thing we got from the server was to bring the food out for us, and that's it. She keep sit behind the receipt desk and played on her phone. We okay with that but the decision of tipped inside was on our choice right? Cause I didn't had good food and good service so I choose to not tip. BUT the thing was THE SERVER ASKED ME THAT: SIR, YOU DON'T INCLUDE TIP? with such an attitude voice. Message for the server: maam~! I added the tip for you as you wanted. But next time, if you want the customer to give you a tip on their behalf, SERVE THEM PLEASE!

Well Season - The Recipe - Dim Sum Near Me - Davis, California

We found this place on the way to Sacramento. The place is very nice and authentic---the ambiance isn't tacky, the staff were quite friendly, the food wasn't ready in an instant but didn't take hours(that's how you know the food is fresh and made on site), the menu is easy to understand, the food is nice and piping hot, and not too expensive(most stuff is under $20). TL;DR, come here if your friends want Chinese that isn't Panda Express. Fresh, flavorful food, though it's not for people in a rush. read more

I always enjoy this restaurant. The food is good and the dim sum is always fresh. Just wish they would restock the baked Boa. They are open late and the service is actually fast.

Our go to dim sum place locally. It's very nice to have one of these place locally in town now when you're craving something like this it's just a little drive away. They don't do the walk by carts like they used to when they first open back in the day but this way it keeps everything fresher for you. They give you a menu with photos of everything, then you mark down what you want to order and they place the order with the kitchen so it's made to order. We have been here for different times for brunch and also ordered out for dinner and eaten off of both menus. Off the dim sum menu our go to items are always the Sui mai (steamed pork dumpling), wrapped sticky rice (has meat inside), Golden Crispy Shrimp Noodle Roll is another go to but it has to be eaten fresh. The Shanghai soup dumplings is another delicious got have to be eaten fresh kind of dish, it has a little Burst of soup inside so be cautious, It might be a little hot. And egg tarts for dessert :) Off the dinner menu we absolutely love the salted yolk, pumpkin, and shrimp dish (hubby says it a true hidden treasure off this menu). My personal favourite dish is the white fish. So if you wanna true place that makes authentic Chinese food (not the Americanized greasy foods) this is definitely the place for you. read more

The service is not the best but the dimsum and price are decent. The space is suitable for large parties. They charge per tea. My family and I like to order the hargaw, sio mai, taro puffs, chicken and salted fish fried rice, beef chow fun, chicken feet, lotus sticky rice, shrimp rolls, lotus sticky rice. We've also had the chicken wings, pan fried buns, steamed bbq pork buns, house chow mein, fried turnip cake, and house fried rice. Our favorites are the siomai, chicken and salted fish fried rice, and beef chow fun. Some critiques include the servers being slow or cold, and some food items - the fried turnip cake tasted spoiled, taro puffs were cold, hargaw was over cooked with the soggy wrapper coming off the shrimp filling. I would not order the turnip cake again. I hope they take these notes into consideration. read more

I've been coming here for about 2 years now and haven't been disappointed! I always try my best to support Asian-owned businesses, and I love coming here for the dim sum. No other place in Davis has an extensive offering like Well Season. They even have my favorite braised honeycomb tripe!! Automatic win right there. I went last night with my partner and tried 2 new things from the menu: the Peking Duck and the Shrimp & Scrambled Egg Chow Fun. The noodles were very tasty! We didn't expect the sauce to be so gravy-like, but the shrimps were nice and juicy and the flavor was great. The Peking duck was a bit dry, but that crispy skin on top was delicious. Paired great with the sauce and buns too! Service is always great here, the employees are super sweet and definitely try their best to be attentive. If they're busy, be patient! They only have 3 people running the front-end of the show at a time, and the food is worth the wait. There's also always lots of parking here, and you get seated quickly too. Will always recommend this spot! read more

I don't know why dim sum never seems to be a five-star experience, but I think Well Season -Davis was a solid four. The Chinese broccoli was perfection! And we enjoyed the usual dim sum items, like shu mai, har gow shrimp dumplings, and BBQ pork dumplings, both steamed and fried. Service was friendly and quick. You order off a menu. The restaurant was clean and the food was reasonably priced. The reason it doesn't get five stars is that the food was good but not great. For example, the congee was rather flavorless, and I think some might consider the wrapping on the har gow to be a little too thick. The meat used for the honey BBQ pork was okay, but not the best. We'd definitely return if we're in the area and craving dim sum. And it's located conveniently off the highway. read more

We came specifically for the dim sum. It was okay. The pineapple bun had the most flavor and was best liked by most of the table. BBQ pork buns were good and the potstickers were large and in charge, but I was missing the gyoza sauce. The only sauces we had were hot chili paste and soy sauce. We also ordered the match sesame balls. Those were tasty. The turnip cake was bland and oily. Same for the dumplings. The preserved egg and pork congee hit the spot, though. We will likely come back, but not overly frequently. read more
