“Great beer and great food and service.“

“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!“

Shrimp pad Thai- great

We’ve been to Thailand 7 times. This place know what they’re doing!“

“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.“

“I love Saigon Village and have been coming with my vegan family for years. They have so many options with fake meats, and vegetable broth for pho. The owners are very sweet and can make modifications for almost everything on the menu. I would especially recommend the tofu bahn mi with no mayo, the vegetarian beef pho, and the coconut juice straight from a coconut! So good. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-20“

“Seriously, best burrito in North Marin. Repeating this post because 1) Facebook asked me to write a formal review and 2) it's too empty when I've gone and I want people to keep them in business!“

“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.“

“Amazing, family-owned niche sandwich shop. Service was incredible, extremely kind staff. Sandwiches were delicious, especially recommend their signature viking sub. Do yourself a favor and pull up if you want a good sandwich, good service, and a good time.“

“Even after a 4 year hiatus (work relocation) Tajikistan San greeted me at the door tonight with "So good to see you, two chicken bento, extra dressing!". Arigatou's is world class.“

“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!!“

“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 variety of options was good. I appreciate the mostly vegetarian/ some vegan choices available and even had some chicken irons for my BF.
Service was a little funky as the guy at the country wasn't friendly and seemed very cranky.
I would go back because it's hard to find vegan options elsewhere, but only if I had no other choices.“

“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.“

“Great services, friendly“

“Love take out. The best minestrone and garlic bread. Yummy. Try it.“

“We had our lunch in red rooster brick oven and it was the best atmosphere that’s family friendly, the food was delicious and the owners were very nice. We will be visiting again and we highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Great Food!!! Great Service!“

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

“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!“

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

“The pizza, the calamari, the mozzarella sticks, the margaritas, what an exceptional find. The service was top notch and the pizza so good i ate the crusts, it’s that type, i never eat the crusts. We left feeling well taken care of. Sean, the manager, was making us feel welcome in every possible way. I’ve heard the clam chowder and salads are amazing as well, we will be back!! Prime rib?! French dip!?! Yes please!!!!“

“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.“

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

“They get busy, it’s efficient, you walk out with a solid burrito for like $11 and change.
Might not be the best burrito you’ve ever had but I keep coming back and it’s always good and the staff are incredibly nice“

“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.“

“delicious rustic breads, sweet and savory pastries, and fun chatting with folks in line (perfect weather didn't hurt either!)“

“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.“

“The food was served Hot and Fresh and the serving was very generous! I ordered the Steak and Nopal and my girlfriend ordered the Tacos Birria. We chose to eat outside and they had Vicente Fernandez playing on the speaker, We both rate it 5 stars! Gracias ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I picked up a sandwich to go. When I got home, I noticed the lunch was a chicken salad. I called the Cafe to let them know, Amy, the kitchen supervisor, was most gracious: she told me the next time I come in, the meals on them. To that I say cheers!“

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

“Great breakfast (generous serving but not in a bad way), delicious food, very good service (fast, polite, caring), everything tasted fresh. Places like this should be preserved and patronized so they don’t get overrun by chain restaurants.“

“The lady works there always been very nice to me. She is attentive. Regarding the food, I think their kabobs could be better. Last time also I felt like both kabobs and joojeh needed to cook more. But I’m from Iran so we may be more picky about our food. Also for Shirazi salad needs sour grape juice (Ab ghooreh) and mine came with olive oil I think. The portion is very generous.“

“Best Mexican food I've had in a long time!“

“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“

“My favorite Thai restaurant . Great food, wonderful owners .“

“Good Food and great service. We had a group of 12 and service was great. Saturday afternoon is a great time to visit. Off the Main Street so not too crazy. Laid back service, but efficient. Waiters Always attentive with the Bread and Water.

Food Good. Calamari Appetizer was really good. Delivered hot and just right.Not over or under battered. They disappeared fast!! Would order those again. Had the Chicken Marsala with scalloped potato and veggies. Delivered hot and fairly quick.

And the waiter was on with the fresh cracked pepper. He must of known people appreciate those little special attentions.

A few had the Lasagne Dish and said it was delicious and Hot. My Wife had the Carbonara. Could have been a little creamier but still had a good flavor. No Alcohol this time, but I did notice their Mimosa offerings for Brunch. Maybe next time.

All in all… I’d go back for sure. Pretty laid back, relaxed atmosphere. Definitely not like the old Marin Joe’s which I do miss.“

“Everything it’s great about this restaurant. The food it’s amazing. Portions are big. Totally recommend. Fast. Friendly. Sometimes you have to wait for a table, because it’s so crowded. But it’s worth it. I complain about the coffee every restaurant I go. Even fancy one. But their coffee it’s super good ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“
