    Cabbage Salad

    This place is a 5 star!!! We got off of the plane at SFO and searched up some vegan friendly food and I'm so happy we found this place! The Mapo Tofu with Mushrooms was beyond, and the cabbage salad was so good I never wanted it to end. It was cute inside with creative and fun artwork and the team was so friendly. Don't miss this place!!!

    Crunchy Cabbage Salad

    Apprehensive at first because initially we get there was a chain- vibe due to the bright colors and touch screen ordering option. Pleasantly surprised though by the quality, freshness, and flavors. Not greasy at all. Service was quick, efficient, and kept the place very clean. Overall very good experience.

    Found this place one evening while I was on vacation. Interesting name, I'm wondering if the owner even knows the meaning of the words. Anyway, food was decent. When my wife ordered her Ma Po To Fu, she was charged for the price of what we thought was for a combo but she only got the meal, no rice or veggies. My fried rice was pretty good. We went in and order first and waited for our food. So, when we paid, we were asked for tip and I thought to myself, this is a self served restaurant, why am I paying tip so I gave no tip. Then they gave us a number so they can bring our food to us. They also brought my wife's tea to her at the table. But then in the end, we brought our own dishes to a dish return station. So, we were quite confused with the service style they are providing.

    Typically tasty delivery - but now they include cold cucumbers? They arrive lukewarm and flacid (gross)

    Always been a big fan of Mamahuhu - get it for delivery many times a month. It's def the best Chinese in Marin. Recently they seemed to have changed their rice plates. Now instead of coming with wok fried veggies on the side, it comes with cold sesame cucumbers (see pic). While I'm sure these are tasty, what it results in is lukewarm flacid veggies after being delivered in a box of hot food. This side went straight to the trash - it was gross. To management - please reconsider this change to the rice plate (at least for delivery). You had such a good model going - why break it with a nonsensical switch?

    Absolutely enjoyed my mapo tofu and mushrooms! Ordering was simple on the kiosk and the food came out in no time. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. The flavor and chili oil were out of this world. Would absolutely go back!

    We have been wanting to try this place after visiting Mister Jiu's a few years ago. We came on a Saturday evening and it was not busy when we arrived, but it was by the time we left. We were greeted straight away and told we could order at the counter, or at the table. The service was very friendly and fast. We ordered several dishes via the QR menu at the table and it all came out within 10 minutes. Our favorites were the tomato garlic Chow Mien, Mapo Tofu and Mongolian Beef. (So much wok hei flavor in the beef!) We also got Cashew Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken which were both great. The restaurant itself is casual and has self serve plates and cups. It's very clean and welcoming. We enjoyed it and will definitely be back.

    After seeing a review on Check Please Bay Area, I bookmarked this. Being a lover of Chinese American food I knew I wanted to try the food offered here. I live in San Francisco where there's two outposts but Mill Valley was a 1/2 way meeting point for folks living in both the North Bay & the East Bay that we were dining with. This being a Saturday evening it took us 45 minutes getting there but going home took 20 minutes. My friends previously scoped out the place and said the booths would be tight for the six of us. There's an area in the back comfortable enough where we were able to scoot a couple of tables together which we did. Ordering process onsite - It's counter service. You can order using the QR code or at the counter. I ordered at the counter. Three house specials and paid. Then I was handed a plastic tent card. The other two couples we were with also ordered what they wanted to eat. House special ordered: * M.S.G. Chicken - very good. Rice coated flour used and deep fried. Great umami. * mapo tofu with pork - lots of fire. Hubby ate the majority of this dish. * tomato garlic tomato chow mein with curry - a different twist on a classic. Fat Shanghai type noodles used. And cherry tomatoes instead of steak tomatoes. * two draft beers - served in chill glasses. * boba tea sundae - I went back up to the counter to order after dinner. The boba tasted a little stale. But overall satisfactory. We didn't order jasmine rice for the two of us but the mapo tofu would have been great with rice. There were plenty of pick up orders and lots of foot traffic. Next time I'll try the outpost in the inner Richmond district in the City.

    First, I'd like to thank the service person in front as she was completely hustling to keep all the patrons happy with ordering /answering questions , bringing dishes out, and cleaning. Give her a raise as she was working hard. The food was the standard fare of American Chinese food. We got the sweet and sour chicken which had lots of bell peppers and onions and a few strips of pineapple. The chicken was non gristley and were large pieces, tossed in a bit of the sauce. The veg had only flavor of itself and no sauce. For me, it was missing any wok hei flavor and complexity. We love their cutlery and dishes and the tea though! This place seems very family friendly, having a few children's tables with activities, and if you're into that, great. For us, it was just a bit too loud with the children screaming. Overall 3.5 stars.

    W service - felt very welcomed right when we walked in and good recommendations were made! Unlike this pizza place by the lumbar W vibes - I love the kids seats in the back and outdoor seating if you want to enjoy some sun. W food - I will def come back to try the other sundae flavors. My one complaint would be the rice. It was the most non Asian white rice. I need the rice to be a little sticky. And maybe portions could be a little slightly bigger. W location. Easy to find parking. So close to the theater for a show we were going to after. W restaurant! See y'all next time!

    Mamahuhu boba milk tea.
    Francisco D.

    Quite surprised we found this delicious authentic tasting chinese restaurant in Mill Valley. We ordered a chicken sando, mapo tofu and a boba milk tea. The pineapple bun added a sweet taste to the chicken sando. The mapo tofu was true to its authentic taste, definitely got it with pork to bring out the flavors. And of course boba milk tea to top it off. The wait staff was super friendly, making sure we had everything we needed to have a great meal. The restaurant setting reminds me of a super casual classroom. Super relax and easy going. Overall, super impressed with the delicious flavors. I highly recommend it.

    After searching for a food spot in the Mill Valley area, we stopped by this spot and weren't disappointed. The food was amazing and authentic tasting. I'd recommend checking it out for lunch if you're looking for something a little different.

    Such a wonderful, kid-friendly restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the clean space and warm, cozy aesthetic made us feel comfortable right away. The staff were incredibly helpful -- our server took the time to guide us through the popular dishes and also pointed out the kids' menu, which made ordering so easy. Since we were first-timers, the server even checked in on us to see how our experience was going, which we really appreciated. My little ones loved the thoughtful touch of a reading nook and a small table with chairs just for kids. It kept them entertained while we waited for our food. And the food -- delicious! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Another big plus was how organized and sustainable the cleanup process is. After eating, customers are guided to sort everything into three recyclable options. It's simple, smart, and shows the restaurant really cares about the environment. We had a great time here as a family and would definitely love to visit again!

    Looking for a lunch spot in Mill Valley that's quick but doesn't miss on flavor and freshness? Mamahuhu is your spot! First time going here, this fast casual restaurant was highly recommended by people in the downtown shopping area. Upon entrance, Mamahuhu is clean, inviting, and vibrant with a pay-at-the-counter method/scan QR code at your table to order vibe. After seeing Mamahuhu highlighted on a Check, Please! Bay Area episode, I knew this spot was special. With two other locations in SF, this tucked away Mill Valley gem serves a healthier take on Chinese-American classics. We ordered the hot & sour soup, egg rolls, the crispy chicken sandwich (this is a must - served on a pineapple bun with black vinegar mayo, so amazing!), tomato garlic chow mein, and the Jade fried rice. All fried chicken is coated with rice flour, and you can taste the quality of ingredients from the tofu to the delicate kale used in the fried rice. All dishes were so light and delicious! Service was quick and friendly - if we had more time, would love to share a few more menu items like their crunchy cabbage salad, sweet & sour cauliflower, a soft serve sundae, or even a local brew (they do have beer, wine, and a kiddo menu!) Looking at their website, they also sell frozen potstickers made with a rice & oat flour wrapper. Looks equally as yummy to make at-home, can't wait to come back!

I went in curious and optimistic -- unfortunately, the experience fell flat almost immediately. Upon entering, no one acknowledged us or greeted us at the door. For a restaurant that presents itself as modern and slightly upscale, that lack of front-of-house awareness was noticeable and set an awkward tone from the start. We ordered the vegetable cake, a dish I'm very familiar with and usually love. Texturally, it was decent -- soft inside with a lightly crisp exterior -- but the flavor missed the mark. It tasted under-seasoned yet strangely heavy, with an excess of oil that lingered on the palate. Instead of feeling clean and balanced, it felt weighed down. For context, Palate Garden Party executes this dish far better: brighter flavor, better seasoning, and far less grease -- and at a lower price point. Even with the longer drive, the difference in quality makes it worth it. Dessert was a banana sesame roll dumpling dish that sounded promising on paper. The first bite was interesting, but that novelty disappeared quickly. The dumpling skin was far too thick and overly crunchy, almost stale-textured, which overwhelmed the filling. The interior lacked cohesion and finesse, and the cinnamon flavor felt muddled rather than intentional. We didn't finish it. Across the board, the food leaned excessively greasy, to the point where it didn't feel good to eat. I left feeling heavy and uncomfortable rather than satisfied. The flavors never quite came together, the quality didn't feel refined, and there wasn't enough charm or warmth to compensate for the technical misses. Overall, this isn't a place I'd return to or recommend. There are far better options for Chinese food that offer cleaner flavors, better execution, and a more thoughtful dining experience.
