“I ask for falafel platter, my son for a badmash burger. both are amazing”

The atmosphere is calm and very welcoming, which makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service.
If you’re looking for authentic and high-quality food, I highly recommend Royal Kabob and Falafel. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat and I will keep coming back!”

“Love their food Special scallops are amazing”

“The drinks and staff were very nice! My roommate loves the Coco Mango and I like the Coco Manga Jasmine, which are the only two things we get besides the Mango Coconut Twilight (which is also super tasty). The mangoes are soft and easy to chew w/ the sago. I had accidentally spilled one of my drinks right after I left since the holder broke (was great for a cute memory picture though) and the staff made me a new one which was very generous. I highly recommend trying one of the Coco Mango, especially half sweet, and it made for a great small birthday celebration”

“Went for dinner on a spring Friday night and enjoyed the outdoor patio. It was order at the bar, no table service on my visit. Good selection of beers on tap as well as a full bar. Enjoyed some wings as an appetizer and then a tri- tip as well as blue cheese slider. Good food, drinks, and vibe.”

“Stopped on our way through from Lake Tahoe to San Francisco. What a delicious lunch our family had !! Something for everyone even 2year old grandson ! We’re from Australia and this Mediterranean cuisine ranks up there with the best. Thanks so much for the complimentary baklava too !!”

“The passion fruit tea was a 10/10 it’s a good amount of sweetness and I downed it very fast. I also ordered the spicy malatang and it’s been my 5th time ordering, it’s so addicting and delicious. Reminds me of my favorite spot in my hometown. Honestly a hidden gem in davis especially for UC davis students. Come check this place out, definitely a good bang for your buck.”

The smash burgers are among the best in town, and they also have a variety of hot dogs. If you’re a burger enthusiast, the double onion smash burger is a must-try.”

“Delightful local brewing with a friendly, neighborhood vibe <3”

“Very delicious. There was a language barrier, but the lady who helped us was lovely and sweet. You order from the table QR code. I'm not sure if you can customize too much”

“This place is so cute with lovely paintings on the wall. The pasta portions are huge — the sauce is super flavourful and the shrimp is perfectly succulent. Honestly, the quality you get for such a reasonable price is amazing.”

“My nephew works there!! He’s awesome!! Ask for Jeffrey W.”

“Tasty food that's reasonably priced! The popcorn chicken was crispy, not greasy, and has the right amount of flavoring. The Taiwanese style mince pork rice plate came with pickles, marinated egg, and veggies, which I appreciated. Tasty tea lattes also, though I wish they had an oat milk option for lactose intolerant folks.”

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Their Tikka masala is some of the best tasting food I've ever eaten - I'm not sure how they make it so good, but you owe it to yourself to go eat some!”

“first time and I loved it!!”

“Love this place! It needs more recognition because locals don’t even know about it. Great food, great atmosphere!”

“Great quality of food and service”

“Great Beer, but your CARD ONLY policy is FKN LAMO - Cash is king... I don't liked to be track of what I do on my spare time.”

“Coffee, ambiance and nut butter banana toast are worth a visit! I visited Cloud Forrest Cafe from Colusa on 2/7/2019 for ‘Coffee with Cops,’ which had a great turn out from law enforcement and first responders. I wish the Davis community had attended to support law enforcement.”

“I go here often. My favorite items here are: Broccoli Beef, Chicken Chow Mein, Chicken Fried Rice, Salt and Pepper Shrimp. Its sad to hear they are closing soon.”

“This Indian restaurant in Davis surprised me in the best way possible. The samosas were so perfectly crisp they nearly made me emotional, and the tikka masala had the kind of flavor that convinces you to order extra naan you didn’t plan for. The staff were cheerful, and the whole experience felt fun and welcoming. A delightful stop that brightened my day.”

“Yummy 👍🏾 the best good service Fast 🍷🍺🥰”

“I love it here! Gave my gf free cold foam for her bday! Juan was really nice. Welcoming and the coffee AND matcha were both so yummy. It’s hard to find a good matcha spot around davis so this was quite the nice surprise.”

“Delicious food. I’ve been hooked since they opened. Must try the pork bao and saucy pork bao with dipping sauces, as well as the eggplant tofu and popcorn chicken. Thankful to have Dah Bao in the neighborhood.”

“Shrimps are crazy. I would recommend this place if you ready to have cool dining experience with unhealthy fried food😂 They are amazing for dinner with your partner. Prices are great as well”

“Yum, was absolutely delicious. Excellent customer service. 👍”

“Super cute boba shop with interesting seasonal flavor (banana)! I've never been to any of the locations of this chain but I will probably be back, honestly I liked it a lot! Much better than T4 imo.”

“Overall a really great first time dining experience. Food was fresh, fast and flavorful. I enjoyed my meal and the pricing was surprisingly fair for the quantity.”

“CHLOE is so helpful and sweet. i love coming in here and seeing her working. thats how i know my sandwich gonna be good. LOVE U BEACH HUT DELI ❤️❤️❤️”

“The food is amazing! The owner Jordan was very friendly and informative. Our waitress Diana was a pleasure. The tea leaf salad was delicious. Will be going back to try more food in the menu .”

“I'd really like to rate this place higher. It used to be bomb. Now, when I ask for extra beans, and PAY FOR EXTRA beans, the bean burrito has fewer beans than before. It's pretty much a bean flavored tortilla burrito. Gonna just have to start making my own.”

“Completely dissatisfied with the food. I had high hopes too.”

“Was tired of getting gouged at Guads on Mace ($18 for a burrito??) and was pleasantly suprised at how fair the prices were especially given the Convenient location. I have been twice in three days now and both times the service and excellent fare / food left me grinning and regretting driving by so many times before trying them out. Thank you Coyotes!”

“Can't go wrong with a restaurant that's been a part of Davis since 1977! Family owned and operated through generations. Delicious dinner!”

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”

“The food was so good! And the service was awesome. Very friendly place. I had the tri tip sandwich and my husband had the Bacon cheese burger with Buffalo style tater tot. They were topped with bleu cheese crumbles too. So dam good! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻”

“One of the best decorated Tiki bars I have seen in awhile. The drinks were great. The staff were very nice. CHEERS!”

“Simply a cultural mecca for Davis when it comes to community of art, fashion, music and lifelong friendships. Grab a sip & a meal and take in the casual nature of this establishment.”

“Super fast and tasty food with excellent customer service. The front lady is super nice and incredibly considerate, a new favorite restaurant for sure!”

“Delicious and very authentic food that won't make you thirsty and our clothes and hair never smelled like Chinese kitchen after having dined here several times. We much prefer it over the very popular Yang Kee. Very easy parking.”

“Delicious homemade ice cream with unique flavors!”

“Casual dining experience with notable breakfast options and gluten free bread served with each dish. Customer service was great and they cleared the tables in a timely manner to make sure the next guests don’t have to wait longer than necessary. The pastry box looked extra tempting, too. We will be back for burgers next time!”

“Favorite dessert place. Fresh flavors, strong and not too sweet. Good variety, friendly workers.

Wish they had earlier hours especially during the summer for a mid-afternoon snack, but oh well.”

“My favorite place to eat in Davis! Great sandwiches, built to perfection. I have tried other places, I always go back to Mr Pickles! Great service & friendly staff. It’s just the best. Photo is of my favorite the “Mrs Pickle ( no cheese please!) ❤️❤️❤️”

“Delicious! The kids and I loved the food!”

“I travel 500 miles just to come to UOB. I love this place.”

“This is one of my favorite lunch spots in Davis and I come here often. It's easy to access from the highway, with a decent parking lot, and ample outdoor seating. You line up right inside to counter order and they'll hand you a number stand, then they bring your food out to you when it's ready. There's a self-service tortilla chips and salsa bar in the back, and you can choose from any of the self-serve drink dispenser options (including the horchata) if you get a fountain drink (a la carte or as part of the daily special). I love how fast the food comes out and it's my go-to restaurant when I'm in a rush. I've had their tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchilada specials, etc and they've tasted great every time. I highly recommend it!!”

“On a recent visit to Subway, I had the pleasure of being served by an employee named Mandy. Her professionalism and genuine friendliness significantly enhanced my dining experience. Mandy was attentive to my order, ensuring all my preferences were met with a smile. Her efficiency and positive attitude created a welcoming atmosphere that is truly commendable. It is rare to encounter such a high level of dedicated customer service, and Mandy's efforts are a true asset to the Subway team. I highly recommend Subway, and specifically recommend Mandy for her outstanding contribution to customer satisfaction.”

“I always get my coffee the right way.. I love this place. .”

“Delicious food and great food”

“Saw it on the map and thought "wiki, cool." I saw it was in a best western and thought, "how cool could it be?" Well, very cool is the answer. Nice place to kill some time and get a mojito. I wanted to keep with the tropical theme.”

“The owner(?) was really nice, and when I visited again, the cashier was also very kind. Pineapple and pistachio flavors are excellent, and their toppings are of surprisingly high quality for a froyo place.”

“I tried the beef lamb plate and was not disappointed. The food tasted fresh and the flavor was definitely there. I think it would have really knocked it out of the park if there was some cut tomatoes and red onion, maybe. Otherwise, the sauce was great.

I got spicy on the side because I shared with my kids. I also bought a side of fries and was happy with the portion - more than enough for my two kids to share and me to pick off of.

Next time I’d love to try the dolma and baklava!”

“The best lemonade in town and kindest people. My son loves them”

“Jersey is the best 👌 always ready with a great joke
And mel the manager is always so awesome 👌 👏 this store is perfect 👌👌 if i could rate 10 stars i would
Edit for update ✨️ still best ten out of ten on everything ♡ mel always remembers our orders n names its always so nice goin in the store”

“great place. very relaxing. exilent decor.great staff, casy was very helpful with a great guidance on java. was our first time.”

“Coming here and taking a sip of that sweet boba tea reminded me of when I first got beat by my dad. They took me to Sharetea so I wouldn't call the cops. Great memories. Thanks guys! That's how great this place is. Brings back repressed memories.”

“I seen a TikTok about this place and decided to try the Strawberry Matcha Latte. It was very high quality matcha, you can tell by the strong taste of the green tea leaves. It was very good and super nice drink size and amount.

I highly recommend stopping by here or ordering online from this place. I definitely wanna try the Vietnamese coffee next.”

“everything good”

“The CoHo is my favorite place to gather my energy with a fresh cup of coffee in the morning. I have met many new friends there, as it is easy to start a conversation while choosing which coffee to have. As a photographer, I have also gotten some great shots!”

“Muy rica la comida y muy bien servido los platos y muy atentas las meseras 👌💯”

“the cold brew 🥰 yummy!!!!”

“I LOVED this market stand at Davis Farmers' Market! ! I wish I had one at my market in Placerville :)”

“Delicious! Always a good sandwich here. The seasonal special pumpkin bars are my absolute favorite. They even have dolma / stuffed grape leaves.

No indoor seating, however plenty of outdoor seating. Inside is a deli counter and lots of Italian snacks & goods. Staff are wonderful and friendly but the line is quite slow sometimes.”

“Noodles and soup were really warm and cozy feeling, the fried sesame balls with redbean paste were so good and fresh!! A great place for lunch with friends or family!!”

“bread is awsome decent price fresh baked bread is smackin”

“Super fast and tasty food with excellent customer service. The front lady is super nice and incredibly considerate, a new favorite restaurant for sure!”

“It's unusual to find a restaurant serving high quality Dim Sum outside of San Francisco, so it's always a treat to take my family to Well Season. Although I'm now comfortable with the variety of dishes available at a Dim Sum restaurant, I grew up in New Hampshire which, to the best of my knowledge, still doesn't have a single Dim Sum restaurant in the entire state. Nonetheless, the staff at Well Season are patient and helpful with newcomers . They have times when they serve from the traditional Dim Sum carts, but they also always have have plastic covered Dim Sum picture menus available that you can mark up with a dry erase marker to select the dishes you want. My favorites are Siu Mai (minced pork and shrimp dumplings) and Shrimp Har Gow (translucent or "crystal" shrimp dumplings. The only aspect of the restaurant that strikes me as odd is the venue. Well Season restaurant is in a former Applebees building, with lots of exterior windows, so the ambiance has a distinctive American feel to go with the traditional Dim Sum menu.”

“first time at in n out. friendly employees and burger was good. don't like the fries”

“Pizza was amazing! I would go back.”

“The food was good. The waitress was inattentive. It wasn't busy but she never once checked in on us. My coffee never got refilled, once the food was served I realized we had only one set of silverware so I had to track down the waitress for more, which only left my party of four with one napkin.”

“Every time I come to this McDonald’s the manager Ximena is amazing. She takes care of me every single time I come through and has a beautiful smile thank you much Davis McDonald keep up the fantastic work”

“everything good”

“Overall a really great first time dining experience. Food was fresh, fast and flavorful. I enjoyed my meal and the pricing was surprisingly fair for the quantity.”

“I stopped by Canes and honestly, it was such a vibe. The chicken was super crispy and juicy, exactly what I was craving. Their Texas toast is on another level—soft, buttery, and addictive. The sauce? Straight up legendary, I could dip everything in it. The place had a fun and chill atmosphere, perfect to hang out with friends. Service was quick and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely my go-to spot now whenever I’m in the mood for good chicken.”

“I'd really like to rate this place higher. It used to be bomb. Now, when I ask for extra beans, and PAY FOR EXTRA beans, the bean burrito has fewer beans than before. It's pretty much a bean flavored tortilla burrito. Gonna just have to start making my own.”

“Amazing place staff was great food came pretty quickly but was All fresh and incredibly tasty.10/10 recommend
We actually ended up receiving macarons as a thank you they were very tasty tooo🙏🏻”

“Our server, Genesis, was so friendly and customer oriented. She smiles a lot and was very helpful providing our table with a variety of requests. Very very efficient in caring for our meal needs.”

“I had a great lunch with my son last week. Close to closing time but the staff was friendly and very courteous. The crepes were perfect and delicious. Thank you”

“The drinks and staff were very nice! My roommate loves the Coco Mango and I like the Coco Manga Jasmine, which are the only two things we get besides the Mango Coconut Twilight (which is also super tasty). The mangoes are soft and easy to chew w/ the sago. I had accidentally spilled one of my drinks right after I left since the holder broke (was great for a cute memory picture though) and the staff made me a new one which was very generous. I highly recommend trying one of the Coco Mango, especially half sweet, and it made for a great small birthday celebration”

“"This is my third purchase – your products are very good and always worth it!"”

“Happy Valentine’s Day, Preethi! I love you and miss you. I’ll never forget when I consistently visited your buffets during my sophomore & junior year Spring Quarters. My waist size increased by 2 inches each time, and I couldn’t fit any of my pants when summer came. I’ve spread the good news of Preethi to friends and family, and many have been converted. They can agree that your food is preethi amazing ;) Our 6 year anniversary is coming up, so I’ll visit you very soon!”

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Their Tikka masala is some of the best tasting food I've ever eaten - I'm not sure how they make it so good, but you owe it to yourself to go eat some!”

“Great spot, even if a little on the pricier side. Food was delicious. The waiters could have done a better job of explaining how to control the temp of the hot pot and not assume it was known. We had a few utensil mishaps (i.e. chopsticks fell) not frequent enough check-ins from waiter to help provide replacements in time. Atmosphere was great, and the lunch time session we enjoyed on Saturday was not crowded or noisy. This was our second visit so can confirm the food quality has been consistent and portions filling and adequate. We had leftovers enough to take back and enjoy for one more meal.”

“Wow!! Update on this review because it's greatly improved

And is amazing. I love all the changes from the tables to the games, and the food is GREAT! I'm so happy I came back to give it a second try I love the spicy sweet korean chicken 🐔 so good and corn dogs is way better !”

“Estelle's makes great baked goods. However, it is not a welcoming place. The times when I do make eye contact with an employee, they quickly look away. They have never smiled, and the whole experience feels...cold. I don't need saccharine American rictus grins, but an even halfway welcoming expression or mood would be nice. This is also found in the décor - super sparse, minimalist, which may invite nice turnover but feels really unwelcoming. Too much white on white on white. It's really good food, but if I don't want to stay or I feel like I'm inconveniencing someone for doing their job, it makes me want to go there less.”

“Rachel at the front is absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with the warmest smile and made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. Her customer service is truly outstanding — friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. When she brought us our food, we were so happy because our burgers and chili cheese fries looked delicious, and she was still just as cheerful and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. Wayback Burgers truly needs more people like Rachel! Highly recommend!”

“Favorite milk tea place in Davis by far! There’s various tea type (black, oolong, green-tea, etc)options available as milk tea, fruit tea, foam topped, yogurt, or just tea. Some places you don’t taste the tea after all the sweetener but here you can!

They also have some deep fried snacks that are made fresh when order too.

Last but not least store hour is inconsistent(?) or inaccurate(?), the staff was prepping to close an hour before the said closing time on Google…”

“This was my first time going to the Round Table Pizza in Davis, and I was honestly really impressed. The pizza came out hot and fresh, with plenty of toppings and a crust that was perfectly crispy without being dry. Everything tasted high quality, especially the sauce and cheese. The staff was super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better for a first visit. Even though it was busy, they were efficient and made sure orders were handled smoothly.”

“Glad they opened this near my job. I ordered online for pickup on my lunch break, when I walked in I was greeted with a friendly smile from the employee while she was taking an order mind you, love that.
The interior looked clean and organized.
My order was ready waiting for me, unlike other locations I have been to in the Sacramento area, where I have waited 15mins past pickup time.
I ordered the not so fried chicken sandwich and it smacked! Plenty of chicken, and fresh produce, it was delicious. I also ordered a lemon cheesecake cookie for dessert, and although the price was steep for the size of the cookie, it was soo good I would 100% buy it again. Overall very satisfying experience, I will be back!”
