I was starving after having woken up early to attend the Candy Cane Dog Show Cluster in Woodland and wanted something comforting for lunch. Honey D Cafe caught my eye as I've had this establishment saved to my list for the longest time and that day I was not in the mood for pho. I wanted to stay nearby as I had groups later in the afternoon. Thankfully Davis is but a stone's throw away from Woodland. Parking in Davis on the weekends is always a nightmare, but I like to park in the parking garage by the cinema and just walk to my destination. I quickly found a spot at the parking garage and headed to Honey D Cafe. I was honestly surprised by how tiny the restaurant was. You order and pay up front before taking a seat. I went with the house special noodle soup and added wood ear fungus (wood ear is one of my favorite fungi). The tables were tiny and the chairs were not the most comfortable. I decided to shrug it off as I was starving, but made a mental note to include that in this review. The workers were not very friendly, and I noticed that they were extremely busy with to-go orders (DoorDash, Hungry Panda, etc). Bags upon bags of food started to accumulate on the pickup counter as I waited for my food. My noodle soup finally arrived in a hot metal bowl, which was nice to keep the soup piping hot. I was pleased with the amount of meat, veggies, and other ingredients in my bowl, especially since with tax and tip my total for lunch amounted to $23. For the extra $1.50 I paid for my wood ear, I did get a good amount of fungus too. But this is definitely not a restaurant I'd visit weekly. The broth was delicious and soothing, and all the ingredients worked well together to create a cohesive dish. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. I was very full after and while this bowl was on the pricier side, I was satisfied with my first experience at Honey D. However, I will say that the house special noodle soup reminds me of crossing-the-bridge noodle soup and honestly is most likely Honey D's rendition of that dish. Usually the ingredients are served separately and you add them to the boiling hot broth yourself once your bowl arrives to your table, but in this case all the ingredients were already present in the broth. I've had the most delicious crossing-the-bridge noodle soup in San Jose so I know what to expect. Honey D's was fine for a quick fix, but is not traditional (and I'm not saying to directly compare their food to the actual dish). It was just something that made me wonder the more I picked apart the ingredients in my bowl (such as the peanuts, quail eggs, etc). Regardless, I was satisfied with my meal and would like to return in the near future to try some other dishes that Honey D Cafe has to offer!

I stopped in to Honey D's after a evening of drinking and wants something fast yet delicious to eat. My friend recommend Honey D's! We walking in a greeted by the owner a friendly young man. We asked for recommendations as we are open to try whatever on the menu. He recommended different items from the menu and I we for it, as we were hangry. He brought out dumplings a noodle dish chicken and desserts and boba drinks. While waiting the restaurant is cozy and quiet it's not too big inside. The food is absolutely delicious the pork and chive dumping were amazing the soup dumpling were on point. The noodle dish which I can't remember was so good and he brought out a durian dessert dish

Came here because my friend and I were craving a noodle soup! We saw they had a spicy beef noodle soup here and that's exactly what we got. It's definitely nothing like the taiwanese beef noodles soup. It's a lot spicier, they use rice noodles, and the cuts of beef are different. It was still tasty but definitely seemed heavier on the salt. Couldn't taste the beefiness of the broth as much as I'd like. It was a decent size for $16 and we were extremely full afterwards. You order up at the cashier and then seat yourself. wasn't really anything great about the service. The place is small and but cute. Might be hard to find a table when it's busy.

The food was exceptionally delicious. We ordered the green onion pancakes with eggs and a plate of seasoned cucumbers and pork and chive dumplings. The place is small only 3 or 4 tables. The price was reasonable, service was good and the staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back again.

Girl, Honey D in the morning, Honey D in the eve-nang. Honey D all day errrday. Honey D serves up some tasty Taiwanese snacks, comfort food, and desserts that's hard to find around here unless you make your way out to the bay. Honorable mentions goes to: Lamb Skewer 5/5* Juicy, nice bbq sear, packed with flavor, and slightly spicy. These were so good and snackable, shamelessly adding to my bias that all things are better on a stick. It wasn't gamey but had a very slight sweetness that let's you know you're eating lamb. My favorite out of everything. Juicy Chicken Cutlet w/Braised Pork Rice 5/5* No joke on the juicy cutlet; the chicken was so tender inside. Outside was a perfectly crunchy panko fry that I love but my hater friend, roof of the mouth, always ruin all the fun. Crunch lovers, you know what I mean. I don't like rice, but braised pork rice is the way to go! The savory, fatty meat juices of the braised pork just penetrates the rice, adding a depth of flavors. Add the tea-soaked egg and you've got yourself some homey comfort food. Chinese Beef Roll 5/5* This was a fat roll! The exterior was crispy, but you have to eat it fast because it won't stay crisp for long from the steamy insides. It was a good balance of salty sweet with slices of beef, sweet hoisin, scallions and crunchy cucumbers. Honey D House Special Noodle Soup 5/5* This tasted like someone's mom slaved inside a kitchen to make. Broth had delicious earthy flavors, and noodles tasted freshly made. Comfort food at its best. Combo Tofu Pudding 5/5* What a unique dessert. You must get this! Such an explosion of textures and refreshing ingredients to cleanse your palette. The tofu was sooo silky soft, contrasted by the chewiness of the various flavored tapioca balls, sweet red bean, and bitter-sweet herbal grass jelly. The balls were a nice surprise. They had an al dente chewiness to them to give your a jaw workout. You can tell the grass jelly was housemade with the subtle flavor and soft texture; not the overly sweet crap you get from the can. All of the ingredients tasted housemade, which is awesome. Durian Tofu Pudding Again, the tofu is my favorite. Deliciously soft, silky, and not too sweet. There is real durian on top of this and was pungent, so it isn't for the faint hearted. I remember Honey D when they used to be in Sacramento with their iconic flowerpot desserts that came with the cutest mini shovel spoons. Sadly they had moved to Davis, but at least it isn't too far out. I never tried their food before, but glad I did in Davis. Presentation and flavors are on point. I've been missing out!

If you love great Chinese dessert and comfort food, you must come here and try. . It's like a little cafe with home cooking from a friend's house. The vibe us casual and relax. They have lots of pictures of their menu with the food they serve on the wall. . I tried the minced pork with chicken crispy cutlet with soy egg over rice. - the minced pork is flavorful with light crispy fried chicken pieces. It was great with veggies and a soy egg which stole the show. Highly recommend. . House special noodle soup. - if you love a good broth with some rice noodle soup for comforting it's like that. The toppings was great love the fried peanuts and spam in it. Good veggies with it too. Highly recommend. . Lamb skewers - this is one of my favorite. Loved the spices and cumin in the lamb skewer. One order comes with 3 skewers. Highly recommend. . Chicken wings - the chicken wings was crispy. If you love a plump chicken wing for a snack it's a great portion. . Popcorn Chicken - eating it by itself was salty. But after requesting a sweet thai chili dip it really balanced it out and was great. Wish it came with some fried basil to give it a pop of color. It was juicy and not dry. Great fast snack on the go. . Pork and Leek dumplings. - they were steamed. Maybe offering pan fry which might make it look and taste better. It was a healthy option and I always loved a good dumpling. The filling was savory and I love leeks. . Beef pancake roll - this was fresh pancake rolled together with cucumber. It looked so good. It just had a little too much hoisin spread but due to each taste bud is different I found it a little salty and sweet. . Beef stew won ton soup - won ton is filled with pork. The beef stew had a nice authentic flavor. I prefer the pork Leek dumpling over the won tons. . Durian tofu pudding - potent. You can taste the durian mixed in with the tofu pudding. The durian chunks on top was a cherry for the dessert. . Mixed tofu and herbal jelly with red bean topping, sweet potatoe ball and taro ball and boba - this was the highlight! It looked and presented well. I love this because I love tofu pudding and herbal jelly. Love the homemade sweet potatoe ball and taro ball too. I can just eat that all day. it was perfect for a summer night. Highly recommend. . Drinks . I tried the gen mai green tea drink with boba. I wish it wasn't sweet for the tea. Forgot to mention. Boba was chewy and tasty. Just a simple drink to sip and hang out friends kind if vibe drink. . Overall I find the food comforting with lots of choices to choose. It's like a small cafe with a variety more than just a Boba and dessert spot. If you been to the first honey d on Freeport this spot is the same owner, just for your information. I had a great experience with my friends here. If you find this review helpful follow me for more. Thanks for reading and have a yelptastic day.

This place should be solid 4-5 stars. Yummy comfort food. Decent price. Everyone I know love the food here.

This is one of my go to places in Davis. I love the cleanliness (with store employees making sure to sanitize surfaces after each customer) and the cute signs all around the restaurant. I found the desserts to be especially cute - I decided to go back after I had dessert to try the food and the food was very satisfying too. The beef roll and ANY of the soups are great! They are served in a round metal mini wok style bowl and hit the spot! I have had minimal interactions with staff however found them to be helpful. I would recommend a friend to try this place.

It has consistently been one of my go-to restaurants in Davis. The highlight of my visit was the braised pork belly over rice. This dish was nothing short of amazing. The pork belly was incredibly flavorful and well-seasoned, making each bite a delight for the taste buds. What I particularly appreciated was the generous portion size; it left me feeling fully satisfied.
