Hikari Sushi & Omakase 110 F St Ste A, Davis Japanese • $$$$

“Prepare yourself for an intimate and personal culinary journey at this Omakase haven in our college town. From the moment you step in, the cozy ambiance wraps around you like a warm embrace, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The chef, a true master of the art of omakase, takes the reins of your gastronomic adventure. As each exquisite piece is expertly crafted and presented, you can't help but feel a personal connection to the culinary magic happening before your eyes. The chef's passion for their craft is apparent, creating an immersive experience where you feel a part of the sushi culture. Seated at the intimate sushi counter, you're not just a diner; you're an honored guest. The chef carefully curates each course based on your preferences and reactions, turning the meal into a personalized expression of culinary art. It's a conversation between you and the chef, a silent understanding conveyed through the language of meticulously prepared dishes. The pace of the meal allows for genuine connection. You're not rushed; instead, you savor each moment, appreciating the textures, flavors, and stories behind every bite. The staff's attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm enhance the feeling that you're not just enjoying a meal, but sharing in a unique and personal experience. In this intimate setting, the boundaries between chef and diner blur, creating an atmosphere where the love for sushi and the joy of sharing it with others take center stage. Whether you're a seasoned sushi connoisseur or a newcomer to omakase, this place transforms a meal into a cherished memory, making every visit a celebration of the personal and the profound. This gem is one that must be treasured and appreciated. The chef not only takes to heart his customers but the environment as well- choosing eco-friendly and sustainable fishing practices to make your dining experience guilt free. This is a chef truly passionate about his art. I will forever be a patron of this establishment- encouraging this type of connection and mindfulness for the environment is what Davis is all about. I hope they are here for years to come.”

Osteria Fasulo 2657 Portage Bay E #8, Davis Italian • $$$

“Really enjoyed our evening but would recommend you invest in an outdoor sound system to play Italian background music. Also, I think the waitstaff should wear black pants and an Osterio Fuselo shirt. It will be an elevated look for your restaurant. Hope you consider. We've been in Davis for 26 years, and appreciate your restaurant so much in the community. Thank you!”

Ume Tea 1411 W Covell Blvd Suite 110, Davis Bubble Tea • $

“First time visiting. They have a lot of variety of drinks, and some drinks that I haven't seen at any other boba places. Quick service. Want to come here again to try out more drink flavors. I got the brown sugar boba mochi milk tea. Was a little too sweet for me but you can pick a less sweet option. The mochi was a bit odd, it was slimy and honestly I really didn't know what to expect. I would probably not get the mochi topping again.”

Guads Tacos & Beer 231 3rd St, Davis Tacos • $

“Guad’s Tacos and Beer is a small, clean Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is very chill. They have a vast selection of beers on tap and there are a few TVs around the restaurant displaying sports games. You order at the counter and the kind staff bring the food out to your table. There is a chips and salsa bar where you can help yourself. They have an excellent selection of vegetarian and vegan options on their menu. Their menu features vegetarian/vegan burritos, quesadillas, tacos, nachos, and more. They offer three different kinds of beans (black, pinto, and refried), all of which are vegan. They even offer soy chorizo as a plant based protein option. The staff is very open to customizations to their menu options (i.e, adding fries to your burrito, turning your burrito into a bowl, etc.). My go to order is their vegetarian burrito with grilled veggies added. I usually alternate between their black and refried beans. I usually pair my burrito with their delicious horchata (vegetarian). It’s very creamy, perfectly spiced and sweetened, and refreshing. The burrito is very large and can even be shared between two people for a lighter meal. All of the ingredients are perfectly seasoned and balanced. The chips and salsa bar is very tasty and fresh. They have a wide variety of different salsas and condiments. My only gripe is that none of the salsas are particularly spicy, so I usually add some of the habanero hot sauce that is on each table to my burrito for an extra kick. The staff prepares the food quick and you can even order online ahead of time at guadsdavis.com if you’re in a hurry. My meal usually comes out to under $15 which is perfect for college students on a budget. Being that it is a very short walk from campus, I would highly recommend Guad’s to all of my fellow vegans and vegetarians.”

Cafe Bernardo 234 D St, Davis European • $$

“I recently visited Café Bernardo in Davis and was really impressed by the overall experience. The atmosphere is casual yet stylish, with a cozy and welcoming vibe. It’s the perfect spot whether you want to catch up with friends, have a quiet meal, or even get some work done.

The menu offers a good mix of options, from fresh salads and sandwiches to heartier dishes. I ordered the avocado toast with eggs, and it was delicious—artful and full of flavor, with perfectly ripe avocado and a hint of spice. The coffee was excellent too, rich and smooth.

Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the food came out quickly despite the cafe being busy. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and they use locally sourced ingredients, which is always a plus.

If you're in Davis and looking for a relaxed place to grab a flavorful bite, Café Bernardo is definitely worth a visit!”

I always try to venture out of our favorites but.. they’re just so good to not get a second time! ? The staff are super patient, and friendly. They greet us so kindly upon entering and always check on us if we are dining inside. Oh! I forgot to mention that the lunch special is superior (especially when I’m on a budget and still want a hefty plate) but make sure you order before 3pm! Major shoutout to Ding How!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU! ??”

So we ordered Chicken and Tofu with Cold Boiled Egg over Rice, Beef Noodle Soup, and Braised Pork Belly and Chinese Sausage over Rice. The food was excellent, meat was tendered and well cooked! Especially the chicken.

With the chicken dish, I would love to have some veggies. There were none.

I would come back for a pick up or delivery but not to dine in.

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!”

“It’s been a while since I have been to T-Kumi, but I keep coming back to have their Ramen. I just really like their broth (Tonkatsu is my favorite) and I like that they put more ingredients in their ramen than most other ramen restaurants without needing to pay extra. However, they have a note on the kiosks when you order that they are “currently out of soft boiled eggs” (my guess is due to the recent high egg prices). I also like their Pork Belly Rice a lot and the kids really like their Popcorn Chicken. They have really good drinks, rice bowls and snack items. You can place your order with their 2 kiosks or you can order with from a staff (most people just order from the kiosk). Once you order from the kiosk, you are given a number and the staff will call out your number when you order is ready, then just raise your hand and they will deliver it to you. Water is self serve through the water dispenser (paper cups available) next to the cash register. Ambiance is chill and they always have some to ing playing on the TV for you to watch (today it is Avatar “Animated”, but sometimes they have K-Pop music videos or some sort of movie). I will continue to come back for their Tonkatsu Ramen as so far I have not found another Ramen place that has as tasty of broth as the one at T-Kumi.”

Davis Noodle City 129 E St #1d, Davis Chinese • $

“Noodle House, as my family and I lovingly call it, is an icon in Davis. It's a little hole in the wall behind Sophia's Thai Bar that was referred to my husband and I 15 years ago. We walked in and almost left because it's small... and old... and a little sketchy? But we decided to give it a try anyway.
We have been coming regularly since then, and our family has grown, and grown up begging to go there for special occasions like getting good grades, etc. There is nothing we have had that isn't delicious.
I highly recommend the won ton noodle soup, pork chop noodle soup, szechuan eggplant with noodles, the potato curry with noodles, the 5 spice beef noodle soup, and the chow mein.
The noodles are homemade. The broths and sauces are unique, delicious, and literally award winning.
The service is fine. It's the same lady for the past several years. She's quick and efficient. Before that, I think it was her mom or aunt.
You won't regret trying it out - and if you do, you'll be back.”

The churros were gigantic and tasty, the ice cream is creamy and soft. 10 Bucks for the whole cup, not a bad place for a small date. Would go again!”

Tasty Palace 品香阁 403 G St, Davis Chinese • $$

“Tasty Palace is the best Chinese in town, bar none. It's authentic northern Chinese cuisine, so it's spicy. Lots of people expecting Panda Express will be disappointed. But if you want an authentic and very tasty Chinese dining experience, this is the best game in town.

I recommend nearly every seafood dish, the tofu, the lamb... It's all great. Be forewarned -- it's not boring. It's full of flavor.

Reasonable prices too considering portion size. Nearly every dish can easily be shared between two people.

This has become our Chinese go-to spot, and I hope more people will give it a try!”

Ike's Love & Sandwiches 212 F St B, Davis Sandwich Shop • $

“This was my first time eating here. It was very noisy inside, so we opted for take-out. I ordered a 240 on dutch crunch bread. It was okay, but there were a couple pieces of gristle in the meat and I would have liked a bit more sauce. Also, the menu said it had cheese, but my sandwich didn't appear to have any.
My friends ordered the 13 and 309.
Both were disappointed by the small portion of "meat". One was disappointed that the gluten free bread wasn't toasted, which can greatly improve the flavor of gluten free bread.”

Shah's Halal Food 146, Hutchison Dr, Davis Middle Eastern • $

“Despite being in a tiny food truck right next to the Silo bus hub, Shah's Halal Food punches miles above its weight in terms of food, service speed, and convenience for a regular student like me. Yes, theres other places on campus, but none are THIS good and THIS close to where I actually have stuff happening on a regular day. All the Gyros ive tried from this place have been well worth their price; having amazing food within a few minutes of walking is priceless to me.

Try it if you ever swing by the Silo, they'll have amazing food even if the UC Davis-provided seating isnt the best in the world. 9.5/10 would absolutely recommend (though you shouldn't sit on the concrete seats too long, ill admit.)

Dietary restrictions: It's got it in the name; No pork, compliant with what most Muslims are allowed to eat, and pretty tasty too!”

Nami Sushi 2880 5th St #105, Davis Sushi • $$

“I used to come to this restaurant in the mid '00s, and it changed both name and ownership at some point between then and now. Perhaps I'm having a bit of nostalgia fogging, but it seems the quality declined somewhat the change. However, Nami is still a perfectly serviceable mid-range sushi restaurant even if they are no longer a hidden top-tier gem the way I remember them having been in 2005. Their sashimi continues to be decent, as do their bento boxes. They rolled out an AYCE menu at some point as well, but I haven't tried this as I tend to be skeptical of AYCE anywhere. The lunch service tends to run a bit slow even when the place is nearly empty, which I find mildly frustrating when I'm in a hustle to get back to work. The staff does seem to have some difficulty with English (they speak Cantonese as their primary language), which has made for difficulties in recent visits (explaining that I was not in fact ordering AYCE), but I have since become somewhat of a regular so they remember my preferences, which is a nice touch. I wouldn't call this a destination restaurant, but I appreciate it for its convenience and its prices which I find to be far more reasonable than many other Japanese restaurants in Davis. All in all, a good mix of quality, convenience, and cost -- a good lunchtime choice for folks who live and/or work in East Davis.”

Davis Well Season 1753 Research Park Dr, Davis Dim Sum • $$

“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.”

I got the brown sugar boba mochi milk tea. Was a little too sweet for me but you can pick a less sweet option. The mochi was a bit odd, it was slimy and honestly I really didn't know what to expect. I would probably not get the mochi topping again.”

Guads Tacos & Beer 231 3rd St, Davis Tacos • $

“Guad’s Tacos and Beer is a small, clean Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is very chill. They have a vast selection of beers on tap and there are a few TVs around the restaurant displaying sports games. You order at the counter and the kind staff bring the food out to your table. There is a chips and salsa bar where you can help yourself. They have an excellent selection of vegetarian and vegan options on their menu. Their menu features vegetarian/vegan burritos, quesadillas, tacos, nachos, and more. They offer three different kinds of beans (black, pinto, and refried), all of which are vegan. They even offer soy chorizo as a plant based protein option. The staff is very open to customizations to their menu options (i.e, adding fries to your burrito, turning your burrito into a bowl, etc.). My go to order is their vegetarian burrito with grilled veggies added. I usually alternate between their black and refried beans. I usually pair my burrito with their delicious horchata (vegetarian). It’s very creamy, perfectly spiced and sweetened, and refreshing. The burrito is very large and can even be shared between two people for a lighter meal. All of the ingredients are perfectly seasoned and balanced. The chips and salsa bar is very tasty and fresh. They have a wide variety of different salsas and condiments. My only gripe is that none of the salsas are particularly spicy, so I usually add some of the habanero hot sauce that is on each table to my burrito for an extra kick. The staff prepares the food quick and you can even order online ahead of time at guadsdavis.com if you’re in a hurry. My meal usually comes out to under $15 which is perfect for college students on a budget. Being that it is a very short walk from campus, I would highly recommend Guad’s to all of my fellow vegans and vegetarians.”
