"Orderly chaos is my best description of the environment here. It's definitely not a restaurant I'd pick if left to my own devices, but I was on a group trip. I do have to give them credit though because our group was 20+ people. It started out just shy of utter chaos, but they quickly got it down to ordered chaos. I probably would've clocked out if I were one of the employees because they already had a full house. Service was pretty good considering the situation. So why the 3 stars? What happened to the other 2? Well, I sent them out to buy seasoning for my meal. I ordered pulled chicken (I eat plant based but chicken is my go to when it's not a feasible option and it wasn't in this case). The chicken was on the salvageable side of kinda dry, but it had ZERO flavor. I need to know where the seasoning went. Not anything fancy mind you, just a little bit of salt and pepper. There was NO seasoning on that chicken, and I may have prayed for the chicken because it didn't give up it's life for me to have to drown it in BBQ sauce. I'm sorry to that bird. The BBQ sauce wasn't bad, and they had great fries. The fries are pretty much why I tolerated the chaos. I will say this, they have baked potatoes, but it's not obvious at all. If you prefer that to fries, be sure to ask. Also those potatoes are huge so keep that in mind. Would I go back? No, I wouldn't. Do I think it's worth a shot if you're an actual carnivore/omnivore? I do as other members of the group seemed happy with their meals."

"Eating here feels like going home. Tucked away in a corner framed by arching red-glazed buildings, Noodle City is a hidden gem in Davis. I got the five spice beef noodle soup $12.50), which arrives piping hot with chunks of flavorful braised beef, their specialty soup, and housemade noodles. You can easily tell the noodles are handmade from their unevenness and unrivaled bounciness, delightful mouthfeel when chewed. 'Homemade ' and other synonyms are most apt for Noodle City, it truly feels as if you 're sitting down to a meal prepared by the best version of family cooks. If you 've watched “Ratatouille,” do you remember that scene where the critic tries the dish and is whisked back to his childhoood eating a dish prepared with a mother 's love? You might have that experience when sipping the soup at Noodle City; their recipes bring that familiar touch of a home kitchen with the refinement of restaurant service. I sat indoors at one of their booth seats, but there 's also limited) outdoor seating. I 've been here before with family and found the tables are flexible enough to accommodate larger parties or just a solo diner as I was). Anything with noodles is guaranteed to be a hit here, I 'd personally recommend the pork chop noodle soup. Don 't overlook their desert options either, those fried sesame balls are freshly made with just the right texture similar to sticky rice or mochi) and perfectly paired with ice cream. The friendly staff recommended I come back again to try their jjajang noodles, and who am I to refuse such an enticing offer? I 'll definitely visit and eat at Noodle City again, and hope that others give this affordable place a chance."
