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

Good LORD, I had been wanting to come here for a loonnnggg time to try the Korean food and today was the day! Yay. Today is Thursday, so the Korean food special was spicy pork that came with steamed white rice and a side salad. Absolutely delicious, highly recommend coming here to get your Korean food fix! My to-go order came out of the kitchen super duper quick!

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 ..... The owners also use Dixie paper products, which are owned by the Koch brothers. By using Dixie products you are supporting a billionaire family that are extreme right winged republicans that only care about themselves. read more

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

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

On a whim, searched Korean in San Rafael. Foodles came up. Foodles sandwich shop? Found out it's owned by Koreans and they have a Korean daily lunch special. 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

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

Located in Marin County, California, The Lodge in Fairfax is an iconic, historic establishment built in 1908 by the Arbini and Segale families as The Old Timer's Saloon, serving as the town's very first bar. After years of being utilized differently, the building underwent an extensive two-year restoration. The owners of the San Francisco bike shop Big Swingin' Cycles purchased the property, upgrading its infrastructure, adding a kitchen, and building a large, dog-friendly outdoor beer garden. You get that feeling that you really are at a lodge at the lake in Wisconsin. At least for a minute, it brings back memories. However, in place of the white and red pine trees are the gorgeous redwoods providing shade. Nice tap beer list with healthy portions served. I had the mushroom tacos, vegetarian style with a little salad and chips $10 and a half a beer. My lunch mate had the summer salad with chicken added $25 bucks which is a little steep, but certainly enough for two people. Served in a very large bowl. It's quite impressive. I would forgo the protein and save the six bucks extra. Great spot, great service, great ambience, great food, and beer. Walk,drive your car, or bicycle in.

Our server was warm and friendly, bringing us water promptly. We started off with an order of beignets. It arrived with three big pieces. They were freshly fried and doused in powdered sugar. So good! My daughter ordered the chicken and waffles, while I decided to try the everything gumbo. The chicken and waffles was huge! It came with several pieces of fried chicken that was topped with freshly minced garlic and came with a homemade spicy sauce. My daughter loved it! I tried a bite and thought it was tasty as well. She ended up taking half of it home. The everything gumbo was also delicious! It was a little thin in my opinion, but the flavor was amazing! It was truly authentic and I could taste all the seafood that was in it. I finished my entire bowl! Unlike the chicken and waffle, it was appropriately sized. When I went to pay the bill, there was a sign that said "free beignets if you pay cash." So of course, I paid our bill in cash! Luckily, I had enough cash on me. Can't pass up a deal like that!

The scene is very '70s hippie like with bad art indiscriminately placed with no sense of aesthetic. A bit of a cleanup is in order and a little more attention to detail could spruce it up. But, there certainly is charm in its current state. Simply a great product at a low price point and fast, friendly service. Get your coffee next-door to avoid the air pot pump offerings here. (normally cold or nasty in those air pump things) This is strictly bagels- no need to push the caffeine despite the revenue loss. Just 30+ years of an honest bagel shop focusing on the BAGEL! A lot of variety for only 20$ a dozen. Grab a bag or two and take them to your workmates or your family. A solid satisfying chewy treat! And it can't be beat......

The inside was clean but dated, Upon Entry I was immediately seated, The hostess was very was nice and was able to answer my questions on the menu. Ordered the dinner portion of the Chicken Katsu with rice and macaroni salad, Egg Rolls, and the Fried Gyoza. The Gyoza's came out first, These were really good as they weren't deep fried but pan fried with slightly crispy bottom with chewy top. The sauce that they give you with the Gyoza's went well along with the green onions. The Egg Roles came out next, They were good as well and freshly fried. The sweat and sour sauce went well with the rolls, wasn't too sweet but had a bit of spice as well. The Chicken Katsu plate we next, the Katsu was freshly fried which perfect as it keeps the breading from getting hard or to crunchy and the chicken juicy. The Katsu sauce went well with the chicken rice and macaroni salad as well. Overall I enjoyed my experience and will come back to try other items on the menu in the future. A bit of advice, parking is tough in downtown San Rafael, If you go during prime dining hours expect to have to look for parking if you're driving.

We were the only dine-in customers at the time, although they had a steady stream of takeout orders coming through. Despite that, all of our food arrived quickly and everything was organized perfectly.

He never seemed rushed and provided excellent service throughout the evening.

Anyhow, never judge a book/restaurant by the cover...(however, I guess I've been judging restaurants by yelp reviews though...). From the outside/street view, this place doesn't look like much.

Embarrassingly for Marin, only two restaurants made the list--including Lou's. It definitely lives up to its reputation. First, yes, it takes calling often! I called on a Thursday and it literally took calling over 50 times to get past the busy signal. Once I got through, ordering was really easy. I was even able to pick my pickup time. If you can't get through, don't despair. At 6:15 when I picked up my order, people were still able to walk up and order, although only a few entree choices were left. Everything we had was just so flavorful. The fried chicken was the favorite, rhen the beef birria. But the fried shrimp (which was pretty spicy!) and herby roast chicken was also delicious.

Nuggets arrived as a to-go order in a box inside a huge bag. That was a waste of paper. I never said I wanted it to-go & the person taking the order never asked. If I ever were to go again I'd be sure to state dine-in. Anyway, the real issue is the nuggets. Dry, over-cooked & nearly tasteless. Too much breading although it was crunchy. I'm not a sauce person so I didn't order any. If that is what is supposed to turn these into chicken goodness then it's a fail. They should be tender, juicy & flavorful on their own. The restaurant is bright & clean. The noise level is unpleasantly loud. Nothing in the design of the interior is soaking up the horrible screeching sound of every metal chair that slides on the tile floor as people move around. Everyone working here is friendly & helpful.
