What People's Say About Place

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).

I wanted to add this to this review. I get this all the time, and I love this place. It is so good! I got takeout and it was awesome! I got mu shu pork, deep fried orange chicken, and deep fried general Tso’s, and house special chow mein, best ever, and I couldn’t be happier! Second time ordering and I still love this food every-time. Third, forth, and you will understand why.

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...

I have been meaning to try this place for about 10 years. For real. We always went to chrysanthemum down the street and I guess became wrongly stuck in our ways. Well, good thing the other guy shut down, because this place is great. We had really good, really fresh, not overly salty Americanized Chinese food. You know, it's all the good stuff you can find in Chinese places that cater to non-Chinese people. This place is definitely our new defacto local Chinese place. One other thing, they have a sign that says no MSG and I really believe it. I trust them and from eating there, I trust that there actually is NO msg.

Delicious sweet "N" sour pork, best in Marin. You get so much food for a single dinner and it is delivered hot and fresh. So happy I treated myself to our local China Villa in San Anselmo.

Great food for great prices. Staff very friendly. I've sampled almost the entire menu and ours all good. Quiet place to relax and enjoy a meal or order for takeout or delivery.

Just had Orange chicken, green beans and won ton soup (which had a generous portion of meaty won tons and veggies). Excellent. Very to glad find China Villa.

I only do pick up from this place. The food is always good and the host knows who ordered what whenever they go to pick up and she’s nice too!
