Lam's Kitchen

Lam's kitchen is our absolute favorite restaurant in Mill Valley. Mae is the sweetest person ever and you can taste the love and kindness in the food. I'm a vegetarian and she is always so helpful in either altering a dish to fit my needs or recommending a different one that she thinks I will like. Her husband, the chef, never disappoints as I've never not liked something from his kitchen. I'm pretty sure I've tried just about everything vegetarian on the menu at this point and it's all delicious. My boyfriend, Bobby, is not a vegetarian. He always orders the orange chicken or the general Tso's chicken and the chow mein. Mae will also recommend things for him as well if he needs a change. Seriously, best Chinese food in the area. Go here if you'd like good food, a friendly atmosphere, and to support a small business as it's just Mae and her husband.

My favorite Chinese restaurant in southern Marin. The food is high quality and service is fast, and it's the best Chinese food in the area without crossing the bridge. May is very friendly, as other reviewers have noted. As a note, they recently switched to take-out only.

Take out only. But one of best meals for the price. Food is excellent, and every dish tastes unique. One of the 3 best Chinese restaurants in Marin. Worth the drive.

May is a wonderful woman, the food is always fresh and hot, and the service is quick and easy. Lam’s kitchen deserves the recognition it receives, everyone who works there is hardworking and dedicated. You’ll have to cross a bridge to get better Chinese food!

I love Lam's. I have lunch here at least twice a week. The food is delicious, fresh, and inexpensive. It's a family-run business and they make a point of knowing their good customers' names and their preferences. The kitchen is squeaky clean. The decor makes it a place that you're not going to seek out for date night, but if you want tasty, no-frills Chinese food you won't be disappointed. Weekday lunch is their busy time when it seems like every construction trade worker in Marin descends at the same time. Favorites include the wah wonton soup, green bean prawns, mu shu anything, and spicy eggplant chicken.

I love, love this place. The food is yummy, and May at the front is awesome. She recognizes my voice on the phone, and knows my order before I do! I love little things like this, really gives it a small town bonus feeling.

Lam's is our go to for local, comfort Chinese food. Dishes are delicious and prepared with quality ingredients, May is super-friendly, and they'll use paper containers if you ask. Our favorites: salt and pepper chicken, short ribs, shrimp chow mein and Wor wonton soup. Now I'm hungry!

I tried the kung pao prawns here and they were good. I don't normally choose them at fast food Chinese places but I took a change. Nice job, tasted fresh.

I have been going to Lam's for years. Their food is fresh, well seasoned, and very tasty. May is an absolute sweetheart and recognizes my voice when I call an order to go. Every dish I've had is hot and absolutely delicious. Don't be fooled by the casual atmosphere. It is my to-go Chinese restaurant in Marin hands down!

Andrea G-M

Absolutely delicious chinese food. I've ordered lunch from here several times and its always been the best and very reasonable in price! Their hot and sour soup is delicious, chow mein is so tasty (not overly prepared with oil), and their spicy green beans and salt and pepper tofu are delicious! I've also had their sizzling rice soup when I've been sick and its full of yummy veggies and the broth was delicious. I wish I lived here in MV but I fear I'd be eating here everyday !!

Fresh, YUMMY, well cooked food; friendly owners; decent price, good quantity servings. Willing to make anything vegan. Been coming here at least once a week (most times 2x/week) for years.

Bridget Coyle

Super tasty and healthy food, including lots of quality veggies. Always get our Saturday dinners here. Lucky to have such a good spot so close to home!

Tasty basic chinese fare. New hours (close 8ish) and no more delivery make it pretty hard for me. but nice to have some homestyle food in MV. I still go for pickup and they're quick to whip up an order (5-10 minutes).

The perfect food the satisfies the craving. Lunch specials are enough for two meals. They know how to accommodate vegetarians. The staff is very friendly, even when it’s busy.

Ordered two lunch specials and fried prawns. Stir-fry tasted really good and seemed fresher compared to other Chinese restaurants. Prawns were perfectly cooked and not greasy at all. Will definitely come back when we are at Mill Valley area.
