Would recommend all their drinks!!However, their beef noodle soup was very greasy and not full of flavor. Their popcorn chicken can be cooked more.Their veggies buns are very soft and delicious.

The food and boba here are both incredible. Dah Bao is a small family owned business. All the employees were friendly, kind, and helpful. The noodle soup is super tasty, the broth is so full of flavor and the noodles have a great texture. We tried all the bao they were all so soft and fluffy with super flavorful filling. I got a mango matcha smoothie, a flavor I have never seen before, and it was super good! I would highly recommend Dah Bao for an amazing meal and fantastic boba!

The best boba place in Davis. The boba is always cooked just right and the teas are always the best. Besides boba their food is also bomb. I especially love their eggs and tomato which comes with an marinated egg. The buns are also juicy and delicious. I’ve also notice that they improve their dishes over time so that each time I order it I notice that it taste significantly better ( which I didn’t know was possible because it’s already so good) Highly highly recommended.

Highly recommend egg and tomatoes rice. But if you order Chicken Rice Bawl, be prepared to have only a small dipping sauce with fried chicken and rice, very dry. Also the drinks here are sweet

Really nice food. Enjoyed the Beef Soup (great flavor) and the Buns were nice (regular Pork was my favorite). My daughter really liked her Boba. Look forward to coming back. More of a quick bite spot than a restaurant, but clean and cheerful.

The pork bun was very good, much more meat than I usually find in other restaurants. But note that they don’t always have them available. The pork belly rice bowl was disappointing. Just rice, pork belly, a boiled egg, and steamed bok choy. They need some color in there, some spinach and carrot for example. And the pork belly could have been cooked more. The menu is very limited, although they have a lot of options for drinks.

Strawberry matcha boba was good if not a little too sweet even with 50% sugar. However, the TV playing Jackie Chan Adventures was most definitely the selling point. Many people were there just to watch Jackie Chan Adventures. If youre a fan of 2000s cartoons I woukd highly recommend Dah Bao

I’d highly recommend Dah Bao’s pork buns to anyone who wants to enjoy AUTHENTIC Northern Chinese buns. The cashier told me the owner and the chef were from Southwestern China but these buns taste exactly like the ones I used to order in Beijing!I initially thought this was a Vietnamese eatery, because of “Dah” in Dah Bao. It turns out that this is MY people’s restaurant lol. Dah Bao actually means “to pack up leftover foods after you dine in a restaurant and bring these leftovers home.” Dah Bao could also mean “to order takeout foods,” in a broader sense. It’s definitely a Chinese word.I’m very happy to discover Dah Bao, a hidden gem in Davis. It’s nearly impossible to find a Chinese restaurant that offers Northern Chinese style cuisine in California and this is the one. You will NOT be disappointed!

My daughter and I are big fans of this new restaurant. Everyone is very friendly and it’s a bright and cheerful space. The boba is great and we love the different fruit flavors. Also the honey glazed eggplant dish is amazing and we order it every time. She will not let me share hers so we order two!
