Foodles is a gem of a lunch option in San Rafael. They have Bibimbap specials on Tuesdays, Spicy Pork on Thursdays, and Korean BBQ (kalbi) on Fridays. Delicious food, and great service. I recommended giving them a try! read more

I've come here several times now, and I love it more than ever. Family owned and operated, the people here make you feel like you are family, too. As you wait for your order, it's not uncommon to see regulars come by and greet the staff on a first name basis. The food is delicious, packed with flavor, generous in portion and competitive in price. The food is actually quite addictive. The Korean options are legit and sell out very quickly. There is street parking, but cars race past the store and can make it challenging to get back on. Recommend the private parking lot immediately behind their Foodles store sign, which is large and just a few steps from their side entrance. read more

For those who don't know, George Lucas' ILM was located right behind this restaurant. 'Til this day, this popular location for those who live in Marin County and work around here love coming here for breakfast & lunch Monday-Friday, no weekends. I'm sure the Korean boss lady wants to eventually retire. Foodles has been a local favorite for decades, so if you didn't know Marin had Korean food, now ya know! She only makes the special KBBQ plates on Fridays. I was in luck last time on a weekday, where she offered a taste of her Korean noodles, and they were delicious. Another day, I had to order a tray of appetizers for a potluck (potstickers), and she made it happen. Their food is reasonably priced compared to other places these days. I hope Foodles will continue to thrive for many more decades to come! 'Til we meet again ~ cheers & see you on Yelp (SYOY)! read more

A cute and hardworking family owned business. The nicest people in San Rafael that made me feel at home. Most of the food is American, but they have Korean specialties that get sold out fast (Bibimbap, Kalbi, teriyaki, etc). Definitely want to come back for the Korean food. I think it's the mom of the business, but she's so sweet. The food came out fast, was piping hot, very filling, and delicious. Hope the business keeps going up! read more

I was having work done on my car across the street, so I decided to give Foodles a try. I've passed the restaurant for years. I was disappointed they didn't have any Korean food at breakfast, so I got the breakfast burrito and my GF got the English muffin breakfast sandwich. The food tasted good, but an hour later I felt sick to my stomach and my belly was bloated. Three hours later when I got home I had to take Alka Seltzer. Six hours later I was still bloated and .....

I was itching for some Korean food for lunch one day so I did a search on YELP and found negative korean restaurants in Marin. Seriously? I knew there had to be a place somewhere that serves Korean food and long in behold Foodles came across my radar. I read a few of their reviews and could not believe it, this place serves Korean food, on top of teriyaki chicken & salmon amongst other things like sandwiches and salads. This place is located in the business industrial park area of San Rafael and just by walking in this place, it's predominantly men that eat here based on the area. To continue, I was warmly greeted by the owners and they knew right away I was the crazy filipina girl that kept calling in asking about their Korean food. Just a quick note, they serve only bulgogi every other Fridays but did mention they will try to do bulgogi every Fridays. Another thing they mentioned they can make bulgogi korean tacos. What?! And...wait for it........ They make their own kimchi! Their bulgogi over rice was good, definitely helps curve by Korean cravings. Hope someday they do korean BBQ ribs. I will come back here again to try their other items on the menu. read more

Soooo glad I took my brother and nephew on a Thursday. Had the tastiest beef bbq and spicy pork plates loaded with rice and salad for under $10! They even have some kimchi near the salad bar for those wanting to have some with their special. Just a heads up, they have breakfast, yummy burgers and sandwiches also. Try some kimchi on your burger. Spicy, salty, crunchy kick for the win! I tried their Tuesday bibimpap special also. It's a must...in a stone pot. I want to go back next Tuesday for my bibimpap fix! read more

Do you want a lot of food served quickly and for cheap? If so, you'll love this place--5 stars. Get in line behind all of the auto dealer service workers and you will be full when you're done eating. I appreciate that this seems to be a family business, but the food quality is cheap, diner-quality. The emphasis seems to be on big portions, slammed down on the counter, pay pay pay, fast fast fast. Emphasis is definitely not on taste or customer service. The staff will look right through you--it's like we're all just bipedal vehicles for the most important thing--money. Food is super greasy, the bibimbap was the worst I've ever had. But again, if you're super hungry and low on cash, this might just be the ticket. read more

I've been to this place sooo many times and they know me by name now. Breakfast is served all day (until closing) and that's a plus. Breakfast prices are pretty fair! The food here is pretty good. Some things can be pricey such as grilled cheese sandwich (close to $6). They do have Mandarin Jarritos and I LOVE Jarritos! but they only have one flavor. This place gets busy from 11:30-1:00. The wait time on your food can take a while. You can call your order in to make the process faster. I usually go around 1:30 and it's pretty dead. Some of the daily things that I get from their menu are Burgers, hot dog, breakfast, English muffin with eggs, cheese and bacon, grilled cheese sandwich and the small salad bar is pretty decent. They do offer the meal of the day which is a combo that has fried or soup. Oh and they do have curly fried! Can't go wrong with Curly fries! The food here is pretty good and it's a nice little spot here in the loop off of Kerner. A plus is that they have the SF Chronicle for you newspaper readers! Take to the male owner about the Giants or the 49ers and he will open up. The lady here is so nice and welcoming! The cooks speak Spanish and they are friendly as well. They do have a TV available and I have caught some of the Giants postseason games and some of the 2010 world cup soccer games. Give this place a try and maybe you'll be a regular if you work around the area! read more

The palata was a great starter -- flaky, warm, and exactly what you'd want. The miso black cod was another standout. The broth it was simmered in was incredibly flavorful, and the fish was perfectly cooked. The garlic noodles were also done really well with the right noodles and great flavor -- honestly better than some places known specifically for garlic noodles. And of course, the coconut rice is always worth ordering. We skipped dessert since nothing really stood out, but I would love to see them add more traditional Burmese desserts like faluda in the future.

Unfortunately prices have gone up considerably but that is the case with every restaurant in Marin and the Bay Area as a whole. Pho is perfect for when it is cold, you feel run down or are hung over. When it comes to Pho, broth is most important followed by how generous and fresh the meat portions and then the noodles. VN Noodle has satisfying broth and I have yet to be disappointed by the portions and freshness. Pho Viet is a very close second. Four stars because this is good Pho, not great Pho (no where in Marin has great Pho, or great Asian food in general. Sorely lacking for such an affluent area. Marin needs a Ranch 99 or HMart as well). $20 for a decent bowl of pho is quite a lot. The ambiance is so so and the service can vary depending on the visit.

Check it out!

You can really taste the spices and the broth is really tasty. I selfishly wish there were limes or maybe a lemon provided for a touch of citrus, but really great pho!

I like the inside of the restaurant, nice bar area but not too big. Service was quick and friendly…read more The sushi I ordered was OK, not bad but not great, just OK. The Spicy Tuna had to much of a lemon flavor and bit enough spice, the fish used on the top of the Rainbow Roll was a bit tougher than I like. I also got the Udon Noodles with Tempura, I wouldn't recommend this, The broth was very bland and the tempura still had lots of oil on it. I would pass on this next time. One other complaint I had is they are charging top $ for their food, not sure the quality lines up with what is being charged.

The food here was amazing. We ordered miso soup, iced tea, gyoza, the Hama Hama roll, and the House…read moreDesigner roll. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. The sushi rolls had very generous portions of fish with thick, high quality cuts and the flavors were excellent. The miso soup was warm and comforting and the gyoza had a nice crisp to it. The service was a little slow. There was only one server taking care of the tables and while she was kind it did take some time to get our food. Overall the quality of the food made up for the wait. I would absolutely come back again especially for the sushi rolls

We really enjoyed this place. We found it while visiting and wanted to watch games. It's a small…read morebar in size but the excitement was electrifying in there. The main entrance room has a bar with seating, some side high top tables, some lower tables, and a high communal table. The next room has lower tables, 5 higher tables seating 4 people each, a larger table that had chairs and a booth side, lower large table. Lots of TVs around the entire place. The food is pretty good. We enjoyed a couple appetizers (bulgogi fries and chili lime cauliflower) and then their wings. Friends ordered nachos, but didn't finish them...the cheese was a cheese sauce so the chips were soggy. Our server was fantastic. She was very friendly, helpful, and very attentive despite having so many tables and it being packed. I'd go back here again, but I'd go earlier just to ensure a table.
