In a nutshell; Really good Japanese food, good atmosphere, and great experience overall.
Located in a plaza with plenty of parking spaces and other establishments to check out, so parking shouldn’t be an issue. Plenty of seats, tables, and booths to be seated at. Service was excellent. Lots of various food items /sushi etc. To choose from on their menu. Ambience is great, lots of neat displays and art on the walls to admire while waiting for your food. Overall very pleasant experience do mind it is a rather nice establishment so be ready to dish out more of your budget than usual.

I love the sashimi from Huku, which are thick pieces. And the quality of each piece is great. In addition, I recommend heaven in a spoon, which includes fish row, oyster, and uni. Those provide a various flavor and texture. The nigiri of uni and yolk is also wonderful.
And if you’re uni lovers, I think Huku is one of the restaurant in Davis that provides uni. Not very common in this city. But once when I went there, the sea urchins weren’t fresh. However, most of the time, the quality of the uni is good.
The price of Huku is relatively higher compared to other Japanese restaurants in Davis, but worth a visit.

Our group, eight families came together for a memorable dinner at Huku Japanese Bistro in Davis. Friends had raved about how delicious the food was and insisted this was the perfect place for a special gathering, so we made a reservation. From the very beginning, any worries about accommodating such a large group disappeared.
The service was outstanding. Our waiters and waitresses checked on us often, always with a smile, making sure we had everything we needed. Their professionalism and kindness made us feel genuinely welcomed.
We ordered a wide variety of dishes, including Sashimi Moriawase, Short Rib, Sushi & Sashimi, Salmon Skin Salad, Teriyaki Chicken Bento, and a Nigiri Combo. In fact, we ordered so many more dishes that I can’t even remember them all because nearly every single item on the table was worth mentioning. The sashimi and short rib stood out with their remarkable freshness and flavor. Every bite truly reflected the use of the highest grade ingredients and the freshest fish.
The atmosphere also impressed us, an upscale yet cozy decor that felt both elegant and comfortable. The restaurant even uses a robotic delivery cart, which added a fun and modern touch to the dining experience.
Huku Japanese Bistro exceeded our expectations with its combination of top-tier Japanese cuisine, warm hospitality, and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re looking for a truly exceptional Japanese meal in Davis, I wholeheartedly recommend Huku.

We recently visited Huku Japanese Bistro, and it exceeded our expectations. The sushi is fresh with high-quality ingredients. The service is also noteworthy, with friendly and attentive staff who make sure you feel welcome.
We first ordered their spicy edamame and wow it was really spicy but somehow addicting. Can’t stop munching it. And we also ordered some of the sashimi and it’s so fresh and the cut was thick too Their combo bento offers great value – we think two people can easily share one bento.
The bistro has a cozy atmosphere, making it perfect for family gatherings. The serving robot is a fun touch that adds to the dining experience. One thing to note that when we had dinner there, the place was quite hot. We’re not sure is it because of the ac not properly working or simply because of the weather outside.
Huku Japanese Bistro offers excellent value for the price. The lunch specials are a great deal, with sushi at an affordable price.
Overall, Huku Japanese Bistro is a must-visit for sushi lovers in Davis. With its exceptional food, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere, it’s a great spot to enjoy a delicious meal. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good Japanese dining experience.

Excellent. Easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time, and certainly the best sashimi and rolls hands down. Each bento item was spectacular from the melt in your mouth tuna and salmon sashimi to the house made sweet potato and mash for dessert with the bonus Japanese pickles, salad, and stuffed tempura red pepper. On the side were the Rock and Roll and the Treasure Island rolls, both fantastic in their own right. There is no doubt we will be back to enjoy this lovely place with updated decor, subtle music, and amazing, friendly and courteous staff and servers. Our meal was two 2-item bento boxes and two rolls with a soda for me, for just over $100.

TL;DR – Sub-par food at slightly elevated prices.
We stopped by Huku on a Friday night. It was around 6 p.m., and the restaurant was about half full. It wasn’t very long before we were greeted and seated by the friendly staff.
For our meal, we ordered their 18-piece Sashimi Moriwase, Dragon Roll, and Ikura nigiri.
The sashimi meal came with a salad and miso soup. The salad was fresh and tasty, but the miso soup had a sweetness that we really didn’t care for. It was the first time we had miso soup that was sweet. The soup was very off-putting.
The rest of our food arrived shortly after. There were some hits and misses. The Sashimi Moriwase was mostly a hit, except their sushi rice is horrible. Firstly, the rice was dry, a bit hard, and lacked any hint of tang from the vinegar. The rice was more like steamed rice you normally get at Chinese restaurants, which was a shame. The rice for any sushi restaurant should be one of the most important aspects you get right.
The rice also ruined the Dragon Roll. The Ikura nigiri was also a disappointment because that too had a sweet flavor. I’m not sure why both the miso and Ikura were sweet, but it really threw me off.
I would only recommend Huku for their Sashimi. If that’s not your thing, then this restaurant should be a pass. Such a shame because the staff was great.

I visited a few months ago, here were my notes.
Pros
* New Server (so cut slack)
* Nice ambiance
* Beautiful artwork of MT Fuji.
* Interior design is beautiful. Great mix of plants, artwork (big portraits and smaller artworks), and ceramics (japanese plates, etc). It also had shelves full of japanese artifacts and artwork.
* Good tasting miso soup. Came with small bits of とふ(tofu) and 昆布(seaweed).
* Beautiful Tea Cup
* Sushi tasted good. Wasn’t the best thing I’ve ever eaten but not bad at all.
Cons
* No hot towel (par for japanese restaurants)
* Served the wrong order (minus points). Another server approached me to serve it but I told him it wasn’t mine. He took it back with a very noticeably angry attitude
* Tea came with a bag, instead of being prepared.
* Very pricy. Be prepared to spend $35-$40 for a sushi meal if you’re eating by yourself.
* Sushi’s presentation was mediocre at best.
Overall, a 8/10. The highlights were the ambiance and the food. The service was questionable but you can’t have everything.

Very very nice place! Plenty of parkings available since it’s a big plaza. Fast service with robots bringing dishes. Cozy spacious atmosphere. So fresh seafood with beach around level. The oysters were delicious. We even didn’t speak much being busy by eating all those yummy things. And dishes were decorated so beautiful. With greens, flowers, reddish spirals, etc. This Sunday dinner for 4 cost us about $200 and no regrets. Will go there again!!!

This place has seemed to have gotten worse. I’ve been here once last year, and since then, prices have substantially increased while dishes have decreased a bit in quality.
Still the best quality sushi dishes in/around Davis, but wouldn’t come back at these prices.
3 item bento is now $36. That is crazy. In an upscale place in the Bay, it’ll be like $25. The salmon teriyaki was bigger than expected, but still. Came with little sides, such as creamy sweet potato mash and plantain chips, but was a bit off in the details. Chips were stale, teriyaki sauce was extremely thick and tasted like BBQ lays chips. Miso soup that came with it had 2 of the smallest cubes of tofu, which was pretty salty and sweet. Carrots that came in the side salad tasted like they had sat a while.
Salmon skin roll was quite good, well fried crunchy skin, but $14 compared to closer to $11 at most other places.
The restaurant itself is still beautifully decorated, but it seems people have stopped coming as it was quite empty.
