On par and in some way better than Michelin Star Omakase we have had in major cities. Hikari is a large gem in the little town of Davis.

Excellent food, wonderful location. Two of us had the pistachio crusted salmon which was very tasty and cooked perfectly. The Il Pollo (chicken) was excellent - tender and delicious. The Agnolotti al Mais (corn filled pasta) was great - sauce was delicious. We ate outside so the noise level was not an issue. It was very comfortable on a day where the high in Davis was 99. We started at 7:00.

The food was superb and the service was outstanding! I couldn't ask for a better experience. Our time was challenging as our granddaughter was participating in an Irish dance competition and we were so grateful that the restaurant was so accommodating and helpful. She won first place!
