Googled top places to eat in davis california this one was in the list. Dec8ded to give it a shot and it didn't disappoint. Prices were decent, about 20 a plate/bowl. Taken was fantastic. Added extra egg half. The curry was also great!. Atmosphere was good and I personally enjoyed the music selection. If ever back to davis ill have to go here again

Yuchan Shokudo has some of the best ramen I’ve had! The ordering and seating process did not take long and it was nice to order at the counter without worrying about the check at the end. The atmosphere inside feels like a perfect cozy place to enjoy your meal and the service was prompt and friendly. After ordering, it did not take long for our food to arrive. The takoyaki had the perfect texture and the octopus inside was delicious. I ordered the shoyu ramen and it was exactly what I was hoping for. The chashu was rich, the broth had layers of flavor, and the noodles were perfectly springy. The tonkotsu ramen was equally delicious, especially with the notes of black garlic and spicy kara-miso to cut through the creamy broth. I am looking forward to our next visit and would definitely reco

I’ve been coming here for a long time and I was surprised the ramen didn’t include an egg, since most ramen I’ve had — especially in SF Japantown — comes with one. I understand toppings can be optional, but charging $2 extra for a plain boiled egg felt disappointing. A seasoned ramen egg would have added flavor and made the bowl feel more complete for the price. The ramen itself was good, but this part of the experience stood out. I guess the owner doesn’t feel the egg is necessary for the dish. Also none of the serves came to check on refills or how everything was.

One of my favorite places to come for a lovely dinner. Last friday at the end of the month, they do yakitori and it is delicious.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Enmeth Gutierrez · Jan 2025

It did appear quite busy when we arrived, so we assumed it is a local favorite, plus my Japanese coworker had recommended this place to try, although it was under different ownership last time she was here. This isn't your average sit-down restaurant, as you do order and pay before being seated, which we have no complaints regarding. The Takoyaki was delicious, although lukewarm when served to us, so we had to start eating it quickly before getting cold. Getting into the main courses, although the quality of the ramen was to our satisfaction, we couldn't get over how pricey and small portioned our food was, having only been served one slice of pork, and half an egg in my bowl. I personally do not plan on coming back, as I know other places which serve larger portions at a much cheaper pr
