The side of asparagus was very over cooked and limp. If you put a knife or fork on it it disintegrated in mush. The other side, mashed potatoes had the potato skins in it as part of the mashing.

Second, the staff is very friendly and do their darndest to satisfy the customers. But I can't. First, there's the decor. The restaurant seems to be in a state of redecoration, with odd things left in odd places. When we walked in we weren't even sure if they were open for dine-in as most of the orders seemed to be to go. The food is OK. It's not spectacular, I think Ming Yen and China Palace are far superior. Green bamboo was better too, but alas they closed last year. The dishes we had - soup, cashew chicken, prawns - were all fresh for sure, but the flavors weren't there. It somehow tasted a bit inauthentic (not as bad as Panda though!) Overall, I have to say it was "OK", and that translates to 3 stars. We have decided to give it one more try for dinner, maybe the experience will be different. Let's hope so!

Great options for vegetarians and carnivores alike! The Acai bowls are yummy (some of the better ones in Marin) but I personally love their Bay Bowl (pictured here) because it's the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I order it almost once a week. I was also hooked on their smoothies while I was pregnant! The staff is super friendly and the food is ready quickly. They also offer curbside pickup through the app!! It's a great spot to hang outside when the weather is nice. We bring many friends and visitors here, and they are always impressed. Truly something for everyone on the menu. They offer local deals a few times a month through their newsletter or text!

Their salads and food are so fresh, are made with quality ingredients, and are served in large portions as well! The Eastern Trade Winds salad is my absolute favorite - the dates in this salad add the perfect amount of sweetness! Staff is always kind and attentive. Definitely recommend trying their salads and soft serve! Only downside is that it's kind of pricey (average salad is about $20 and shake is $13ish), but worth it once or twice a week!

The broth is not the most creamy stock, but it does the trick to satisfy that ramen craving on a cold evening. Noodles were nice and included a soft-boiled egg which was great. My husband had crispy chicken katsu curry. I enjoyed the potatoes in this dish and the rice portion was huge. My husband wanted more chicken but for $17 it was super fair.

When I asked them to warm up my pastry that I ordered, the person at the cash register "Alejandro" shook his head, gave me a dirty look and rudely argued that it was warm enough. This was done in front of a long line of customers and it was quite embarrassing.he continued after my roll was taken to the kitchen to mock the request by shaking his head and talking to the other coworker next to him which just stood there. Needless to say, this has not been the first time his moodiness to his customers has been witnessed. Bummer the welcoming committee is what it is since the rest of the experience is AMAZING!!!! This place is a gem other than this on and off experience witnessed personally and observed happening to others.

The fish for nigiri is fresh, there is great variety, and the prices are reasonable--that's the good part--and you'd think that would be good enough: it is not. The bad: their wasabi is crap. It is fall apart grainy, NOT HOT AT ALL and there is little of it on the plate. Every visit we had to ask several times to get enough that equals a normal serving. What's with this, honestly? This last time, the sushi rolls had a shockingly scant amount of rice on the outside--I wish I had taken a photo--as if the kitchen had run out of rice and they were stretching it, or they couldn't get it to stick. I have had better rolls from Whole Foods. The salmon served in the bento box suffered the same problem as previous times: undercooked in the middle. Now for the tamago, the rolled egg omelette: it's served absolutely frigid, rendering it flavorless. As it thaws to room temperature, it becomes a spongey bite. It is very sad that they treat this this minor menu item with disregard. Ambiance: For sitting inside in any of the corner tables, they should provide a small cordless table lamp, especially in the winter time, because lighting is so dim it is difficult to read the menu. The patio outside is delightful for fresh air in the summertime, though it's just a bunch of tables. They need plants, string of lights, something. Kudos to the attentive waitstaff. Still, we wont be back. It's not like we haven't given them a chance, multiple times.

My wife and I opted for salads on this visit. The cost feels a bit high, but the salads are huge and feel well worth the cost. I had the Thai Chicken salad. I love the dressing on the salad and the crunch from the peanuts and crispy wontons is so good! The chili lime chicken has a nice tangy flavor and the veggies all give a nice, herby flavor. My wife had the Tostada salad, which has a delicious, smoky and sweet flavored dressing. My daughter had their chicken tenders and fries, which she enjoyed. This is a great place for larger groups, and its location on Grant Ave is brings a lot of excitement to this downtown Novato neighborhood.
