Banzai Japanese Kitchen - Davis

Banzai is a business in a common space. There is also a drink counter serving latte and beer. They have poke dishes, but the meat rice ratio is low. You order at a switch and they will deliver to your table, but there is no table service. The seat is somewhat utilitarian, but they have a small living area with eight leather seats. You get your own table after the meal. Even if this is on campus, there are two hours of parking on all roads around the restaurant.

Not only did I wait 30 minutes to find out that they lost my order.... But when I got my ramen, the only warm product was the broth. They poured broth over cold noodles, cold meat, cold soft boiled egg and cold vegetables.

This is the most authentic, house made slow, tasteful soup broth and ramen with slowly cooked house roasted meat and fixation you will find anywhere for miles and miles away. The dishes are beautiful. There are several Breadh options and you can build your own Ramen if you want. The egg is perfectly cooked to a Gooey golden, slightly runny yolk. You have to eat these rams. The only case is that it is difficult to find from the beaten path away from downtown and parking.

Ramen's great. But much too expensive. Feels like the students are exploited.

I was hoping to give a 5-star rating, but as I sat there waiting, and waiting, and waiting, that wasn't going to happen. I did like the atmosphere, although it did get a bit loud when the coffee place was mixing something in a blender. I ordered a Banzai Medley poke which was pretty good. It was not outstanding, just good, and it seemed fresh. The cashier was friendly, cheerful, and smiled a lot.That gave me the impression that it was going to be a pleasant experience. I noticed other people who ordered food after me were getting there food while I was still waiting. Apparently they do not prepare orders in the order that they are received, so, I ended up waiting over 30 minutes for a poke bowl, which is just ingredients scooped into a bowl. For the price of $12.95, it could have had larger portions. It was mostly rice with scoops of seafood, and other salads on top.
