Ms. Christine delivered exceptional customer service. A marked improvement has been observed since our last visit. Previously, orders were placed at the counter prior to seating; however, the current process involves seating followed by table service. Furthermore, the restroom facilities were impeccably clean. We enjoyed our visit.

Stopped by for lunch today. The food was amazing! I had the Red 88 fried rice with Asian sausage and the fried avocado/cream cheese rolls. Service was great too. Friendly staff and we didn’t wait long for the food to come out. Cool drink choices as well! Will return.

Delicious and creative menu for drinks and food. I bring my partner here for her birthday and she will never leave me now. Come here for an experience as powerful as the bond I have with my partner who also loves this place!

It was a wonderful place to eat and had a really welcoming environment and I absolutely loved our waiter. She was really nice and had short blonde hair. The food was great and came out really fast!

I've been coming here for about 15 years. Now that we don't live in Davis anymore, we still stop by whenever we visit. The following dishes have always been consistently delicious: Red 88 fried rice with Asian sausage, and Spicy crispy eggplant. I have not been able to find a crispy eggplant like the one they make here! The ambience is great (we like to come here during slower days like Sunday since we just come for the food). During my college days I definitely enjoyed the alcoholic beverages they had here. Customer service can be a hit or miss depending on how busy it is but for the most part we always enjoy our experiences here.

A couple of friends and I decided to get some dinner at about 6:30pm on 8/12/23, and this place was definitely the spot. Ordering was super easy with a QR code on the tables, also the ability to pay immediately and leave a tip without having to hand over your card. This was exactly the experience we were hoping for, choosing to sit outside, we grabbed a few waters and our other drinks came out pretty dang quick. I thoroughly enjoyed the Thai tea, and the mango sticky rice came out soon after. They paired together extremely well! My friends got an order of avocado cream cheese rolls (cut into a heart 3) and chicken potstickers which were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The dipping sauces were Our main dishes were the Yellow Curry w/potatoes, carrots and white rice (level 2 spice since it was my first time here) I’d confidently say that level 3 would have made this dish even better. And the Red 88 Fried Rice with BBQ Pork, which frankly stole the show They did a fantastic job and I appreciate all the small things that the kitchen and staff did to make our meal top notch. You may spend about 15-30 but you’ll more satisfied than spending the same at mcdees or jillinthebox! P.S. This place has some really tasty alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages!
