22 Best Chinese Restaurants near San Anselmo

“This is the only Chinese food I eat in San Rafael. Sometimes, I crave it. Their shrimp fried rice, and chicken chow mein is the best I've tasted since I was a kid. That real authentic taste. Plus, I don't have to worry about peas and carrots in my fried rice (that's a no-no). Their rice is full of flavor. You know it when you see it because it's not white with stuff mixed in. I absolutely love this place. It's in the next city over but it's worth it...“

“The best Chinese take out in the area. Great food, great portions, owner has worked there a long time and always treats her customers well. It is a steam table restaurant, so not a fancy/sit down atmosphere, but the food is consistently delicious and the service is very fast. My personal favorites are the fried rice, sesame chicken, and BBQ pork, however everything I have tried on the menu has been good. I highly recommend them if you are visiting and need a quick bite, and if you are a local who has never been, you are missing out!“

“A cute little spot with family friendly service, and the service was just amazing! There was a male waiter from Fiji who greeted me and my elderly companion and we were swiftly seated and served without any issues. The Food didn't take long to arrive and it was delicious as expected from what I've heard about the place. Reccomend!!“

“Extremely fresh chinese food - top dishes for me are the Special Steak which is perfectly tender, the Tommy Fried rice, and the Steamed dim-sum. Always good - and quick.

Update:- years later, still a big fan. Super Chinese food that’s always consistently top notch and honestly as good as anything I’ve had in expensive Hong Kong or Beijing renowned eateries. Such a Sausalito gem and glad it’s a stones throw away!“

“Loved everything there, especially my daughter. Will always come back!“

“How nice to finally have an excellent Chinese restaurant in San Rafael. Nicely decorated, friendly and efficient service and delicious cuisine! Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

“I went there to see if I could eat there, but it was a take-out restaurant.
However, I ordered delicious food and enjoyed it when I got home.
I was grateful that the friendly staff told me about nearby parks where I could eat and explained things well.
There is also a parking lot, so park comfortably.“

“This food is good. I wasn’t expecting it to be that good for some reason but I’m impressed. We had the veggie egg rolls (2 1/2), there was a funny spice added in there that wasn’t familiar nor was it necessary. Green onion pancakes (4.5) Long donut (4/5) it was so fresh, hot and crispy. Sweet chili wings (4), got happy when I seen the jalapeños but there was no kick at all, they were like a basic teriyaki. General tso chicken (4) no kick to them like normal general. Beef & broc (4) shrimp fried rice (4.5). The lady in front gets a little flustered and I thought she had an attitude with me but once the food came out, she gave us a free soda each and a free Long Donut. Def would return!“

“very bad customer service. dirty forks on table. server was to busy eating her lunch to see if we needed anything. food was ok I've had better.“

“Very nice people good food“

“I've been a loyal customer for decades (used to be CJs back in the day) and love this place dearly. The pink tablecloths, the hot tea, the charming back patio, the well priced lunch plate options, the classic Chinese American dishes, the jelly belly jellybean jar, the fish tank, everything is perfect. The mushu pork, DJ chow mein, mongolian beef, and string beans are some of my favorite dishes.“

“Stopped here for lunch with the family. They have a nice lunch special menu with lots of options and a bento box style as well if you want with potstickers, spring rolls and others. Very reasonably priced and they seem to have a lot of take up business. They also have dim sum options although we didn't try any.

Their shrimp eggplant dish is slightly spicy. They don't mark their spicy dishes on their menu so be sure to ask if you have any doubts.“

“Hidden Jewel!!“

“This was my first visit to dine in here. I have gotten take away several times and it was always good. Today I went with a colleague we had pot stickers, Won Ton Soup and Shrimp and vegetables. Everything was delicious, the pot stickers were the largest I have ever had and tasted home made. The soup and shrimp dish were both very good. We will be back again. Service was quick, the staff was nice and the place was clean. They brought ice water and hot tea for us to enjoy.

Parking: Plenty of parking“

“Stopped here for late lunch on way out of San Francisco. The place is small but the food is excellent!! We ordered entrees but they do offer a variety of lunch specials. If you can't eat in order take out, you won't be disappointed. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, Singapore Noodles. Easy to get to off the 101.“

“I been ordering the same dish for 4 years. Black Bean String Bean Chicken extra spicy to go. What I appreciate is that the food here shines in quality and quantity. Parking used to be an issues but now that CVS is closed, there's no problem.“

“Food is always fresh , friendly people who work there“

“By my personal experience I do not understand the 3.8 star rating. The service is great...in the evenings anyway. The food in the trays may sometimes need refreshing but the staff is always accommodating to make it fresh. I didn't give the food a 5 because let's face it...pre-made food is never as good as everything fresh to order but the food is tasty and let us not forget we are not at a sit down restaurant.. once again the staff has been great!“

“I usually get the prawns with vegetables in a light garlic sauce and it’s always cooked to perfection. The vegetables are fresh, never overcooked and the shrimp is fresh as well. I get brown rice with it and that’s never mushy or overcooked. Love this place!“

“Let me start by saying — I’m a tough reviewer ( evidence below). 90% of the time, I give terrible or fantastic reviews, and this doughnut shop firmly lands in the “fantastic” category (the kind that restores your faith in humanity and fried dough).

Everything on the menu is pure deliciousness. My kids loved anything with sprinkles or chocolate, leaving a trail of sticky smiles behind them. As for me? I fell head over heels for their apple fritters — crisp on the outside, tender insid. And don’t even get me started on the plain old-fashioned doughnuts — simple, nostalgic perfection that somehow tastes like a Sunday morning hug.

Highly recommend — but be warned: once you try these doughnuts, there’s no going back to ordinary ones.“

“I love dining at Harmony Restaurant in Strawberry Village. The space feels warm and inviting, perfect for family meals or a casual date night. The hand-crafted dim sum is consistently fresh, especially the shrimp gow and grilled turnip cakes. Service is friendly and attentive, and I appreciate the mix of traditional Cantonese flavors with modern touches. Pro tip: go around lunchtime for a quieter experience and try the veggie dim sum: I always leave satisfied and eager to return.“

“Great food and people! Hard workers which we really respect!“
