“Excellent made to order Momo’s. I can’t wait to return!“

“Great food and service. Great presentation“

“Such fresh good food. I made my own scramble it was beyond delicious!!!“

“New Delhi has hands down the best Indian food in Marin IMHO, great for vegetarians! Service is friendly and delightful , and the food is excellent, with each dish having a unique flavor profile. Lunch buffet often has more unusual seasonal dishes, as well as the classics. Buffet is an incredible deal with lots of dishes, Chai, salad, samosas and pakoras, pickles and dessert all included, and delicious. Did I mention that prices are really reasonable? What's not to like?“

“This place is really authentic. Food is cooked from scratch. Yuca is crispy and delicious. Beans are so tasty and pupusas well filled with yumminess“

“I was enjoy my lunch today“

“Before today I was certain that there were no good Vietnamese restaurants in Marin. Then I tried Pho. What a find.

Very simple basic menu, but everything was perfect. Flavorful, fresh, generously sized, good service. Everything was right. We are talking San Francisco - San Jose level of excellence for Vietnamese food. I used to think you had to go to the City to find great Vietnamese food, But now we have it local here in San Rafael. The other Vietnamese restaurants around town can't even compare. This restaurant is now on my short list. Coming back. Five star.“

“Best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to so far in the US.“

“Wonderful food and service. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I came here for breakfast before our hike in Muir Woods. Husband got the huevos rancheros with house potatoes which was really good! I got the Mexican scramble with hash browns and I think this was literally the best omelette I’ve ever had. I was so full for hours afterwards (and yes, even after the hike I barely had any room for anything else). Would highly recommend!

Also, the man and lady behind the counter were also very nice!“

“The European specialities are the best!“

“We are new to the area/California from NY we were delighted to find pizza as amazing as home! Friendly owner and staff.“

“Lunch buffet is really good and at a fair price.“

“I had coffee this morning for the 1st time. The cafe has such a relaxing vibe to it! It was a nice group of patrons. The staff was very helpful. I've found my favorite coffee shop! 😋😋😋“

“The best food ever , it is delicious 🤤 the environment is very welcoming , the staff are super kind and sweet 🥰we ordered falafel , shawarma and kabob , the rice is yummy too , the dessert is wow 🤩 I recommend it to every one 👍👍👍“

“They have the best food. Anything you order will amaze your tastebuds. We get 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ service every time. Course it helps we go every weekend!!“

“Only thing I come in to order is the Crazy Coffee Smoothie! And it's on hit every time! 👍🏽“

“From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was special. The aroma of simmering broth instantly pulled me in, and every bite lived up to the promise. The pho was perfection — rich, fragrant, and full of depth, with tender slices of beef and perfectly cooked noodles. You can taste the care and tradition in every spoonful.

Whether you’re a pho fanatic or trying it for the first time, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

“Hi I am delighted to have Royal Thai as a friend for Take dinners needs during these shelter times. Support your local restaurant. San Rafael , you got my buisness. Plus your Thai food is darn good“

“The best sandwiches around!! I tried #2 & 5. Like them cuz they are the least bready, most crunchy sandwiches. The meat is flavorful and the crispy crunchy veggies really add a lot of texture and flavor. This is not about atmosphere, it’s all about flavor & texture.“

“It’s beyond wonderful. Tony spumoni, pistachio, ginger, too too good“

“This place made the tastiest veggie curry dish - I asked for the Channa Masala extra spicy and they did such a great job! Their garlic naan is very good too. I am not an expert or Indian food aficionado. However, I love the taste of their food and the girl I spoke with over the phone was very sweet!“

“I have been coming here to get the mushroom banh mi for years. It's some of the tastiest in the bay with great pickled veggies and yummy sauce.

I would pass on planning to eat at the restaurant as it's not very relaxing and the lack of restroom would definitely eventually be a bummer.“

“Very comfortable, family oriented restaurant with great food and service“

“I absolutely LOVE this restaurant. Their ramen keeps me coming back for more. They have the best ramen in Marin county. Whenever I get the chance to eat here I will and I hope to more in the future. Their staff is so kind and make amazing food.“

“Great services, friendly“

“Wednesday Taco night the 💣.“

“Servers are fun to talk with and to learn about the best treats!“

“I just discovered Lucky Penny and have already ordered twice in a row! The focaccia, chocolate chip cookies, and cinnamon rolls are amazing. Ordering for pickup is super convenient and the owner was really accommodating for a relatively last minute special order I put in. Highly recommend - I will be coming here again and again!“

“Great Sub sandwiches!!!!!“

“Veegee's in San Rafael has been a great culinary experience with their organic artisanal menu. The "fried chicken" crafted from oyster mushrooms was a standout, mimicking the savory satisfaction of traditional chicken, even my grandfather loved it. The vegan pasta Alfredo showcases their skill in creating flavorful plant-based dishes as well. I love that the menu continually evolves, Veegee's impresses as a top-tier vegan spot, rivaling even the best in LA.“

“Great Food!!! Great Service!“

“The turkey and cheese burger is the best 🍔 with the curlier fries is the best of the best 👍🏼🤗.“

“Delicious and extraordinary.“

“I loved it. Great Mexican food. Miss this in Hawaii“

“Started going there in 1980 and have never stopped❤️🙏🏻♥️“

“Great service, great food and outside seating to bring your pups!“

“I have been twice so far and both time the food was - delicious! Everything we ordered was good especially the chicken satay, fresh rolls, pad Thai, green curry and mango sticky rice. The people who work there went above and beyond. We called about coming in close to closing with the family, they insisted we come in and that they were genuinely happy to have us. We felt so welcome both times. Will keep coming back!“

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

“Please visit the Kabobi Persian cuisine truck at the Alameda county fair which is open until July 12th, 2026. Ceyavesh, Donya, Naz and the whole crew offer delicious and fantastic Persian food. I've been attending the Alameda County Fair for over 60 years and this is the very first time the Alameda County Fair has featured Persian cuisine, and it is fantastic! Their burgers, rice plates and sandwiches are excellent. The burger has a touch of mint leaves, dill spices, and it is cooked perfectly. Their rice plate comes withl basmati saffron rice, mint leaves, and a roasted tomato. Please don't miss out on this fantastic food and the good people there at the.Kabobi truck. I hope they serve at the Alameda County Fair years to come..

“This place was excellent! A little hole in the wall right off of the 101. Me and my husband were driving home late from SF and wanted to grab a bite to eat on the way home. This place is open until 130 in the morning, so makes a great late night option. The crust is made of sourdough and is the perfect amount of crispy and chewy. The sauce was tangy and rich and the toppings tasted fresh. Overall 10/10. The atmosphere wasn't anything to write home about but the food and the guy making the pizzas were excellent and made the hole in the wall vibe. Will go again the next time I'm driving out of the city late at night.“

“This is my new go to place when I am in the San Rafael area. #1 Fantastic food #2 plenty of free parking #3 Beautiful outdoor dining experience #4 Fantastic staff that aim to please #5 Amazing, to die for, mammas hand made bread pudding desert. I will return again many many times.“

“Great Thai food !!!! Customer service was also great.“

“Following recommendations, we tried takeout. Be aware it takes longer than average. I ordered 4 items at 5:40 and pickup time was 6:15-6:30. I was there at 6:20. It was bagged & waiting with many other orders. There were few diners. It looked quite basic & not appealing as a destination unless bringing young children. The owner was gracious and friendly. The small wonton soup could feed 2. It was very good, tho there was a slight aftertaste of oil. I’m used to chow mein noodles being very thin. Theirs is like spaghetti—good, but not what I expected or wanted. Orange chicken was tasty. The broccoli beef had a delicious sauce over extremely tender beef and huge pcs. of broccoli. I asked for no garlic without much hope. No garlic! I was happy👍🏼 Very generous portions with no stinting on meat or fish in entrees. My one real criticism is the size of the cuts. Veggies require a knife as they’re double-size. Very awkward when eating soup. I don’t know if this represents Ping’s style or an overwhelmed cook who hasn’t time to properly prep. It’s a glaring kitchen misstep that needs correcting.
Would I return? Absolutely. Fresh and plentiful, even if I disagree with ingredient prep.“

“This is a charming cafe with a sweet outdoor patio! What a hidden gem! The baked goods are amazing and homemade by Armida! They do homemade sandwiches to order, have savory and sweet baked goods! Try the bacon/egg/maple syrup bun or the veggie pocket! There is ample indoor space to sit and sip. There are also books and puzzles for bringing your child, and with the outdoor space, an ideal child friendly cafe for a bite to eat.
What a great neighborhood gem!!“

“Honestly didn't have high hopes booking this on short notice for a special anniversary dinner, but the place absolutely came through. We were welcomed warmly, our table was beautifully set, and the staff had noted the occasion when I booked — which meant little thoughtful touches throughout the evening without ever being over the top. The food was the real highlight. Each course was a proper step up, with portions generous enough to satisfy and presentation lovely enough to feel like a special meal. Our server's wine pairings were spot on. The bill was very fair given the whole experience. Already locked in as next year's anniversary spot. Genuinely lovely.“

“Friendly old time pizzeria. Very convenient for SMART. And despite Marin lifting mask mandate their staff, wisely, is all masked and tables are well spaced. Perfect Lagunitas too!“

“Todo está muy delicioso recomiendo las enchiladas de cangrejo el salmón ala parrilla y también los huevos rancheros las quesabirrias están muy buenas también sin contar que fin de seman tiene barbacoa de borrego con consomé y menudo“
