I didn’t expect to enjoy a steak from a Chinese restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised. My Brazilian friend wanted steak at 11AM and most steak restaurants weren’t open. We saw a picture of a steak om google maps and decided to try it. Not only was the steak very tasty, and Brazilian approved, but the whole meal was very inexpensive. Give it a try.

Wow, a nice canto/HK style restaurant in Davis! They moved to this new location (previously village bakery) and I got to try it this week.

Surprisingly delicious! I went to Tim’s before they moved a few years ago and I didn’t like it. But I feel like they are way better now. The steak and rice was super flavorful, and the price is quite good

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.
