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.

So so so wonderful!! I got the sesame balls, kimchi tofu noodle soup & jujube honey tea. All ingredients just had the best mouth feel! So much better than I could have anticipated!! All for a really great price! 😋😋 🌱and tons of vegan options!🌱 5 stars!!

Hunan’s is the spot for their lunch specials! We always came here while attending UCD. Parking is fairly easy, there’s street parking paid and time limited throughout the area. Staff are super friendly and has been a family business in Davis for over 30 years. Perfect spot for your Chinese and Chinese American dishes!

I was pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of this Hunan restaurant. I ordered four dishes in total, and the overall quality exceeded my expectations. The Changsha stinky tofu was the first time I’ve experienced such authentic stinky tofu in the entire US. Although it was listed under the cold dishes, it was actually served hot. The tofu was incredibly juicy and flavorful. The rice noodles were also exceptional, especially considering the price range. The pork intestines were prepared nicely as well. I must say, students in this area are fortunate to have access to such an authentic Chinese restaurant at a relatively reasonable price.

The restaurant was a bit stuffy. The fish and chips tasted like fish and went the best. They were okay, but not good enough to go back. For half of their menu to sell fish I would expect better sauce than from an individual squeeze packet. They are good about prices. The price point is very reasonable and the portion size was big. I ordered the 3 peices fish and chips

Best Pork & Vegi Pan Fried Dumplings ever eaten. Our 2nd time here ~We will be back. Also enjoyed Honey Walnut Shrimp and the Pork & Shrimp Wanton Soup.

10/2024 Visited on a Friday night. Not busy. I ordered the Crispy pork belly rice plate 脆皮烧肉饭 and Green Bean with garlic sauce 蒜茸四季豆. It totaled to about $22. The food was better than average. The portions are sizeable; with the two dishes I ordered, it could easily feed two. The green beans with garlic sauce was pretty good. I can see why a restaurant like this would/is doing well in a college town like Davis. The service was direct and no nonsense. If you order a plate, it comes with a drink. They're happy to get you anything if you get their attention. The atmosphere is pretty standard for a Chinese restaurant; the decor is the same, they have a TV playing dramas, etc. The only thing I have to bring into question is their cleanliness. The silverware I had received was visibly dirty... Staff was happy to replace it of course. Would I come back here to eat again? Probably not. Despite the food being reasonably priced, portions large, and the food tasting decent, for Chinese food, I wasn't blown away enough to want to come back. (And of course, the cleanliness factor plays a huge part... makes me think what ISN'T clean that we can't see...) 3 out of 5 rice plates.

Portions are good with most items on the menu being under $14 even a meal with NY steak is priced at $12.95 which good portion sizes. Would recommend if you want a delicious, cheap meal.

First, the food is great value for the money. But quality is another question. Got the Chicken Chow Fun special and it was super greasy and drenched in dark soy sauce. The rice noodles weren’t even pulled apart and in giant clumps. Food is 2 stars, but the price gets it the extra star.

Unexpectedly good and varied Chinese food at inexpensive prices, generous portions. Jorge at the front was incredibly kind, prompt, and checked in on us often - would definitely come back!

Our college friend group recently returned to Davis for a visit, and this spot is a must-visit for us Aggies! It holds a special place in our hearts, bringing back so many great memories. Each of us ordered a dish based on our college favorites: the House Fried Rice, Hand-Shredded Chicken with Jellyfish, and Braised Tofu with Vegetables and Mushrooms. The Hand-Shredded Chicken with Jellyfish remains my all-time favorite! It's hard to find this unique flavor anywhere else, and it tasted just as delicious as I remember from my college days. The food was tasty and nostalgic, making the experience even more special.

First off, I'm working in Davis from out of town and was craving Chinese food on a Monday night. I was pleasantly surprised by how good this place is. I love Chinese food and have my go to spots back home in Los Angeles but I'd easily put them towards the TOP. Big portions, fresh taste and a great selection to choose from. I ordered the fried rice, chow mein, orange chicken and broccoli beef and that was for one person. Had plenty for lunch the next two days. I will be back next chance I get 😌.

Do not let the outside deceive you! This place is better than I had imagined. I was recommended by an old friend who lived in Davis couple years ago and I regret not coming here sooner. The owner is this friendly lady that had such a heart warming welcome. Felt like I went to see one of my family friends. She helped me pick out a couple dishes and she knew exactly what I wanted. I could hear the woks in the back fire up and clang around throwing up the ingredients. I did not even wait too long for them to pack it up and have it ready. But once I came home it was the best surprise I had since moving to Davis. Food is a phenomenal! The cook was phenomenal. Everything was hands down so good that it was surprising! Price is phenomenal! Nothing was short of any disappointment. Highly recommend this place to anyone who is nearby.

The stinky tofu was extremely delicious. Very authentic Chinese flavor with a touch of western region’s cumin / fennel spice. It’s very spicy. Don’t try if you don’t like spicy food.

Excellent service, great prices for the amount of food that you get. The Lunch combo is my favorite to order.

My husband recently had surgery on his esophagus and stomach and was finally able to eat something a little more solid. The waiter said they would work with him. And they did exactly that. There had been a misunderstanding with my order, but the waiter immediately corrected it, even though I had told him not to worry about it. That guy was so nice and professional. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

We order 4 dishes: the Sichuan / Hunan style cuisine of boiled beef and lamb and baggage griddle dish were good. The more Cantonese / American style Chinese dishes of wonton soup and sweet and sour pork chops are skippable. Takeaway is they make good authentic Chinese dishes, stay away from the American ones. Upstair seems to be a ktv.

I had lunch at Tasty Palace on 8/21/24. The dining room was far too hot. They left all of their doors wide open and didn't turn on their air conditioning. The food was fine but who serves beef chow fun with steamed rice. The service. was ok. Overall I gave it only 1-star.

Hong Kong style Chinese Restaurant. Not recommended for anyone to have Dim Sum here. Price is very inexpensive but I would rather they improve the food quality and increase the price. I might try the dinner one more time later before I bad list it.

The food here was awesome. The decoration was beautiful and the atmosphere is very Chinese original but the server is so clingy we ask for some boxes for to go for the leftover food that we cannot finish and they bring out two boxes and then it end up not enough room for the leftover so we decided to ask can we have one more box for the food. And the server came up and denied to give us boxes and say that we should just push the food on top of each other to make enough room and I say no I don’t want my food to get messy so she open the to go box that she gave us earlier And say there’s more room so just push it in and I feel very disrespected

Very authentic and I agree with most of comments when they say this is probably the best hunan cuisine around! To those saying that the food is too Spicy, are you ok? Why did you come to a Hunan restaurant in the first place?

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.

Update: they are adding to their dimsum menu. And I added a photo of the rib garlic sauce- one of the best items on their menu. _____ A solid Chinese food choice here in less known part in Davis. Nami sushi is a great place in this plaza as well. But this is one of my go-to's for quick Asian food. Prices have gone up, but the food and portions are still solid here. I like the string bean pork, the wonton noodle soup, and they have some great meat dishes. Their sesame and general chicken is amazing. But what I wanted to review on today was the roast duck which is ONLY available on Fri/Sat/Sun. It is AMAZING. You get a half duck for $25 and it is done to perfection. You can ask for less fat and oil, and they will try to accommodate, but my entire family loved the duck and this is a 5/5, and something I highly recommend if you enjoy roast duck. Besides that- they do very well with large orders- just make sure to give them a call ahead of time. Usually at lunch and busy, it isn't too busy so you can get a spot. The previous owner was the friendly o' lady from 'Hometown' inside the South Davis gas station. She has since retired in left the business to her relatives and friends. Tasty Gourmet survived Covid, so that says something! Be sure to swing by here to support local business, enjoy some good authentic Asian food, and try a roast duck while you are at it!

One the best and friendliest Chinese restaurants we've been to. The waitresses were so kind welcoming us in and serving our soups. They genuinely care about their customers and made us feel really comfortable. The food was perfect and designed like family style with sizeable portions. Thank you!
