One of my favorite local takeout spots. #3 combo with fried rice is my go-to. Green Bean Chicken, Curry Chicken, Kung Pao, and Eggplant Tofu all excellent options

The food is addictive. The people who run it are SUPER friendly and nice. And the claw machines have my kids breaking their piggy banks to play every time we go.

What's at the San Anselmo hub🚦? At the southeast corner that you can't miss from Center or Sir Francis Drake from Fairfax waiting for the green light to get on the Miracle Mile is CHINA VILLA. It is interesting for how such a quiet place with not much more sound than a light fish tank fountain is just a wall away from what is considered by many Marinites to be Marin's noisiest and busiest intersection. NEARBY parking is a lot easier than it looks. It is a standard clean and decorated Chinese restaurant that has an ample amount of space for anyone to walk in for dinner (I came when it was empty for lunch). The food is good and Jenny, the waitress, is funny. It was a substantial veggie lunch that I had. I had fun taking pictures along with my lunch. For that rather big lunch that I had, the check was quite reasonable after I even saw the prices on the menu. Shüniû!! (Looked up hub in Chinese).

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...
