“I found Dah Bao when I was searching for something quick and easy to eat during my road trip. I ordered the pork bun and beef wrap. The pork bun was bigger than I anticipated, juicy, and had the right amount of filling! It is reasonably priced as well. It reminds me of the ones I've had in SF Chinatown. Beef wrap was similar to Chinese-style beef pancake but I did not love the sauce they used.“
“If you like spicy food, you must go here! Always parking available which is helpful. A lot of people, so the service was a little slow. Great authentic Hunan style in Sacramento area. Really enjoy the large gallon size of water container at the table you get because you will feel the spice at some point.I recommend getting the eggplant with green beans ($14.95) since it very fresh, cooked nicely, not spicy at all. The spicy flounder fish ($24.95) is indeed SPICY, will numb your mouth but does go away, the sauce does contain a lot of veggie options such as bean sprouts, wood ear mushroom, king oysters which is worth it for portion size and ingredients in the meal. Dan Dan noodles ($12.95) were alright, just mixed in with diced pickled mustard greens. Overall, the food was spicy and fresh.Parking: Plenty of spots“
“Stopped by on the way back to San Francisco from Tahoe. It was much needed after a weekend of snowboarding, booze, and not eating enough nutrition in Tahoe. Scarfed my face with a bowl of malatang - you need to order AT LEAST 7 things in your bowl. It was healing and delicious!! Could see why this spot could be a hit in a college town. Perfect for your hangovers or if you need a warm bowl of soup. The inside has handful of seats and there is tons of street parking available. Would recommend if you're in area and need something!“
“I ordered take out on a Tuesday afternoon, first visit here since I retired from UC Davis 8 years ago. Unfortunately, the general chicken - my favorite dish - was AWFUL. Chicken was batter fried rather than breaded like in most kitchens. It was definitely crispy if that was what you wanted, but the chicken itself was so overcooked that it was as dry and chewy as JERKY. The sauce was barely a glaze on the battered chicken and what little there was lay in a gloppy puddle at the bottom of the container and tasted almost burnt. On a positive note, the green bean pork was GREAT, garlic eggplant and chicken chow mein were really, really good, too. And everything was still hot when I got home 30 minutes later! The little lady who drives the show was charming and helpful - no complaints there. She made everyone welcome. They just need to figure out how to fix general chicken!“
“Yelp elite who lost access to her old account so I'm starting fresh! Gave this new chengdu style hot pot place a try & here are my first impressions: Broth: their beef broth is very spicy (even the medium was spicy). We initially asked for the spiciest level (level 3) but the waiter was very persistent on getting a medium. The Tom yum broth was a bit spicy but mild enough for me to enjoy as a non-spice person. The broth had good flavor! Sides: the veggies and meat are a bit expensive for the potions. If your are ordering the veggie platter it comes with 3 pieces of corn (something to note if you don't want excess corn) The service was really good & the workers were very nice. I would come back again!“
“Excellent food and service. Without a doubt the best chinese food ive had in this area. Absolutely delicious. We ordered one of the 4 entrée family meals (there is five of us), and it was more than enough. Large portions; plenty of leftovers. 5/5 stars.“
“As you can see I paid $15. For Cali, it's cheap and promising food. I've been here a couple of times and it' has a special place in my heart. Oh & it's always packed so you'll be there maybe 30 min so call ahead“
“We tried 4 different varieties of dumplings, and the Pork Chive was our groups favorite. Sitting out on the patio was such a wonderful casual way to enjoy Downtown Davis wine we ate! Plus the service was fantastic!! Love those sweet ladies :)“
“Me and Travis are planning to go here one day. We have confirmed it serves Cantonese style food (not Italian, not Mexican). I scanned the QR code and thought it took me to an inappropriate website at first. But then I realized I had another browser opened and I was wrong. The QR code works and takes you to the menu. Be well, Paul“
“First time ever having a hot pot and I really enjoyed the Korean Army, crispy potstickers, salad sampler and Rose Green Milk. Atmosphere and staff were great as well. Definitely coming back!Vegetarian options: One hot pot dish with tofu available, salad sampler is all veggie too .“
“Are you looking for a hole-in-the-wall type place with great food and value? Look no further.DNC is a no-frills place - don't come here if you want someone to wait on you constantly. They seat you, bring you water, ask for your order, bring it, and leave you alone to enjoy your food. If they see your water is low, they will come fill it. I say "they", but really there is typically one waitress who handles all the tables and checks. If you need anything else, you catch her eye or go ask her at the counter. Personally, I love this type of service. If you don't, well, you should still try the food, but maybe temper your expectations before you go.The food is delicious and served in big portions. I can't usually finish a bowl of soup in one sitting. Pro tip: if you have leftover soup, but maybe too many noodles for the remaining broth or vice versa, you can order an extra serving of noodles or broth to take home.The chow mein isn't traditional American Chinese chow mein - it's more like a garlic noodle stir fry. And it's delicious.I like most of the vegetarian dishes I've had there. I usually default to the kimchi tofu noodle soup or the regular veggie noodle soup, but I think I've tried all the soups on their dedicated vegetarian menu and have enjoyed them all. If you want more protein, you can ask to add tofu to any soup.Their veggie appetizers are also good, but my favorite is not listed on the menu - the vegetarian pot stickers. Perfectly crispy and chewy, they come with a filling of mushrooms, glass noodles, and minced vegetables and a dipping sauce. The only appetizer I haven't enjoyed was the fried tofu. I only tried it once, though (the potstickers are my favorite) and I give restaurants two shots before giving a solidly negative review on any item in case it was just a one-off event. It was the only disappointing item I've ever received from them, so I'm looking forward to trying it again. (I'll update this review when that happens.)All in all, this is one of my top 5 restaurants in Davis. It's what I crave when I'm sick, or if I just want a quiet lunch with a comforting bowl of soup (with leftovers!). I love this place.“
“Pretty authentic flavors.We were a big party of 13 and at the end they gave the remaining 5 of us free soup. Fried rice is nice texture, pretty decent spicy dishes here. Coming from the bay, it's average food for the price of around $16/dish.Also, if you like walnut shrimp, it's good here.“
“First time coming here, there was no wait; we came on a Thursday afternoon. Immediately we were seated and it took us a while to order but the waiter was really attentive and asked us if we had any questions. I only ordered the chicken and pork skewers since I wasn't too hungry but I came with other individuals that ordered more. I like the concept of this restaurant, the concept isn't unheard of to me but I haven't experienced it until now. It took a bit for the meat to cook but since I wasn't that hungry I didn't really mind if it took longer. The meat was small but I expected that. Food was good, I liked the short ribs and pork the best. At first I wasn't too sure what was good tbh. I think something that they could incorporate is adding some sort of symbol next to menu items that are habitually ordered to let customers know which ones are good options. Would come back if I'm craving it but other than that it wasn't anything too special.“
“This place had fantastic food. Mu shu and cashew chicken were both fantastic food. And the tea served with the meal was also a nice addition. The place seemed pretty empty with a funky vibe because of the emptiness. They are also the type of restaurants that plays pop music videos on the tvs. Fascinating!!“
“Just what the Name of the restaurant.. its frkn' tasty.. awesome food. The hot and sour soup is really tasty and satisfying.. chowmein and fried rice bith combination is the bomb.. should try it!.. oh the crew is so respectful.. fasho' we coming back and eat here again..“
