I had such a great experience at this Chinese restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The portions were generous, and the bbq pork fried rice I ordered was amazing. What really stood out to me was the service from the owner. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel right at home. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the hospitality are this wonderful. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this restaurant to others!

Great Chinese restaurant in Novato. Awesome cuisine, even better service & hospitality by Maggie. Super clean restaurant and relaxing atmosphere! Will always come by this place when in Novato

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Marin! They are very sweet and welcoming I always feel at home. My daughter loves coming here! They are simply the best!

We came here on Father’s Day with our family and had an amazing experience. The service was excellent from the moment we walked in, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, and everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. This is a great place for families to gather and enjoy a meal together. They helped make our Father’s Day celebration special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to coming back again soon!

Our family has been coming to Ming Yen for eleven years now, and our son is a very sensory oriented person who finds new food tastes and textures challenging to try. Not here, though. He'll even eat the spicy stuff, here! We frequent this place for to-go orders, not because in-house dining isn't pleasant, but because it's the restaurant whose food stays perfect until long after you get it home. We do dine in-house when we're feeling like being "out" for dinner, and the service is absolutely wonderful. We have, however, seen some INCREDIBLY impatient, entitled and sometimes just racist customers come in here though. This place, however great it's been all eleven years for us and a good number of other locals, really seems to be a magnet for customers that like abusing staff or eating five to six plates of food and then say it's terrible and demand the money back. The staff and owners always handle it with grace, but unfortunately, when they don't give someone who ate every bite a full refund, while still offering to make it as right as you can for a con artist, that person will usually take to yelp to complain. Or Google. I've watched this play out more than a handful of times, and it really blows my mind just how poorly behaved people can be. We regularly order the Singapore rice Noodle, the dry green beans, any one of their appetizers at random, and either the won ton or the hot and sour soup. It's all fantastic and I don't recall ever loving any of the similar restaurants I frequented in Portland more. I'd recommend this place for anyone looking for a reliably fresh and delicious meal. They're more than generous and the quality of the food is outstanding. In our home, it's a comfort food.
