Yuchan Shokudo (formerly Yakitori Yuchan)

  4.4 – 558 reviews   • Japanese restaurant

Social Profile:

[2025-11-18 TUE update] Since SEP 2014 (before CoVID), we were Yakitori Yuchan, a Japanese izakaya that specialized in sumiyaki kushiyaki (meat, seafood & vegetable skewers grilled over Japanese binchotan charcoal). Since MAR 2020 (during CoVID) in compliance with county health restrictions, we pivoted to a to-go only menu that primarily featured donburi (rice bowls) & ramen (noodle soup). Since JUN 2022 (exiting CoVID), we rebranded as Yuchan Shokudo to continue specializing in donburi, ramen & rotating specials (e.g., yoshoku pasta, teishoku, etc.). Since AUG 2023 (post-CoVID to now), we showcase special quasi-monthly dinner events that featured sumiyaki kushiyaki. More information at our new website, yuchanshokudo (dot) com.

Izakaya-style Japanese small plates & drinks offered in a cozy space with murals & paper lanterns.

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 recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for quality ramen and Japanese food in Davis!

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.

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 price. Perhaps it’s due to location (Davis)? Not entirely sure…

This is my third time here and I am so in love with this place. There is something for everyone in your group and the vibe is one of the best in Davis. Allen is always very welcoming and helpful with the menu and drink choices. You can tell he is very passionate about his work and that’s the kind of place I want to keep coming back to. Best gyoza in town by far. Don’t stop at the entrees, get some apps! Squash fries are so good! The servers are very nice too. Good music.

There is a new special every time we’ve been here and we have always left happy.

Truly delicious.

My favorite was the spicy mentai-men (a la mentaiko pasta). The seafood butter sauce was so flavorful, the noodles perfectly al dente.

Pork chop pepper curry rice was delightfully curry, nicely crisp fried pork chop (nicely fatty).

So good. My friend had a ramen craving and she said this really hit the spot.

We walked in and were warmly welcomed. You order and pay first before being seated. The employee was very kind and clear with the menu and made sure we had all our questions answered. I like how they have the normal menu along with special items with pictures and descriptions so you know exactly what you are getting. My friends got the ramen and I got the chicken katsu curry plate. The plate is actually massive (can feed two people) and was around $20 so you are definitely getting a good portion for what you paid. The curry was beautifully made with great flavor, accompanying the thinly perfectly fried katsu with juicy chicken in between, all combined to eat with the warm rice. Even though this is mainly a ramen place, they went above and beyond with this katsu.

So good! We’d been craving ramen and had walked by the night before and noted the menu! So glad we went in tonight. Ramen was super flavorful and the jammy egg…. Mmmm! Husband and son loved the pork and we all cleared out plates! Staff was welcoming and explained the menu really well.

Great food, friendly service. Wonderful addition to Davis’ food scene. We had ramen and chicken appetizer, and both were great. Sake selection is quite impressive for a ramen spot, too. Loved our servers, they were very busy but always found a moment to see how we were doing, and to get us whatever we needed.
