Ding How Restaurant, Davis CA

The food was inedible. It was embarrassing to have family over and serve food that had no taste, overcooked and clearly had been previously frozen. We ended up throwing away half of the food. I spend $250 and will never go to this restaurant again.

This place would be a five star ️ restaurant but the Girl who works there is always eating on the job, walks around dirty and gives terrible service. However the two older gentleman are always respectful, clean and have amazing customer service skills. They have great menu knowledge and the young girl dose not and she tries to take advantage of you

Solid food for price, although tends to be too sweet. Very kind server.food comes out in very reasonable amount of time even when they have many take out orders. Nice decor.

I was forced to give a 15% tip at the counter by a young lady. I did give a tip as I normally do (regardless), but I have never been forced by an employee. Also, no water on table, no napkins, no menus.

I am giving 4 stars because I am a loyal customer.

Dear Owner,

Are you aware of your employees forcing customers to pay a 15% tip?

Tofu with green bean was soooooo good!

Came on a Tuesday during late lunch, was not very busy. Very good service. Excited to come back and try more things from the menu, they have a lot of specials that don't make it on the printed menu so it's worth stopping in (really want to try to sweet potato pancakes)!

There’s some variation in food quality on a day to day, but if you catch them on a good day, you won’t be able to get a better Chinese takeout meal in Davis. As someone who has lived in Hong Kong and whose family is from there, this is my favorite Cantonese-style American Chinese restaurant in Davis. Their chow mein is such a comfort with good wok hei. I also love their orange chicken with real mandarin peel in the sauce. Like any restaurant, if you go in ordering the wrong stuff, you won’t get the most out of your meal. Sweet and sour pork lunch special is solid — more moist and flavorful that the chicken counterpart. The lunch specials in general are such a great deal. I love that we can dine-in again because I enjoy getting a hot & sour soup with my meal. Skip their mapo tofu and west lake soup if you’re looking for something more traditional (they’re not done correctly here). Get to know which chef you like and try to order on the days that they’re working. For the dishes that are tasty, there isn’t a better place in Davis for them. Service is stern, but good. That’s how a classic Asian restaurant operates. I don’t pay money for warm and fuzzy vibes; I pay for the food. That being said, I enjoy dining in. The restaurant interior is calm and relaxing. Bonus: They have an EXTENSIVE vegan menu that includes a plethora of imitation meats (similar to the kind you often find in Asian Buddhist monasteries). It’s a hidden gem, really.

The food was good, but you can hardly understand why are they so rude to their customers! This was not the case in the past but now they are extremely rude.

Updating review to five stars. This is our favorite Chinese food place anywhere in the area. We happily drive over from Woodland to eat here. The soups are good and I have not had a bad entree yet. Our son loves the large fluffy steamed bbq pork buns on their appetizer menu. The egg foo young also has a nice sauce.

I last ate here in 1982. Yes, 40 years ago. Seriously. I lived across the street at a nearby apartment my sophomore year at UC Davis. Used to go here quite frequently. The last time I went was with two friends named Rick and I changed my nickname to Rick for the evening for the fun of it. Rick, Rick and Rick. We thought it was funny. We were also stoned out of our minds. They had good food back then. Can’t really speak for now though.

Great neighborhood joint. Long time personnel. Fabulous hot and sour soup. They even have a separate vegetarian menu!
