Arigatou Japanese Food To Go — Restaurant in San Rafael

Called in an order for a katsu bento box. The gentleman on the phone received my order but didn't say how long or how much.

Drove over in less than 10 min. When I arrived, the older japanese gentleman checked if I was the katsu chicken order, and I confirmed. I waited for approx. 5 min until my order was ready. I wanted to pay cash but my bill was too big to break so I paid card, no big deal. Next time I will bring change.

Came back to work and ate a piece of katsu chicken. It was hot, juicy, with a decent amount of katsu sauce, and perfectly flaky, 5 🌟's. The bento comes with rice, salad and 2 potstickers. The salad had a fresh lemon slice, light dressing, cherry tomato and broccoli onto a bed of lettuce. I was pleasantly surprised by the brocolli as it was a nice touch.

The potsickers were also yummy 😋.

I don't usually eat in this area as it is a little pricey, but I will definitely stop here again to try the other items!

Value, price, flavor, freshness all can't be...

Best Japanese takeout in Marin. Oldschool feel: Inside the place feels authentically Japanese: clean, no fancy accoutrements, cute handmade signs, only the essentials to provide good service and food! This place is a gem!

The food is delicious and fresh, with generous portions at a price where you don’t feel ripped off! I have payed DOUBLE at other Sushi restaurants in Marin for less food!

Used to come here around 2007-2008 and popped back in here recently and heartened to see they are still going strong.

I’ve already eaten twice here this week and I’m DEFINITELY coming back on the regular.

ありがとうございました that...

Mr. Arigatou is the best person in the world. He prepared everything by himself, and we had one of the best conversations about Japanese culture while waiting. He is so kind, sweet, generous, and super hard-working. The teriyaki chicken is so umami that I just couldn't stop wanting more. The steam Japanese rice is of perfect texture and moisture. The gyoza seems to be deep fried and they are crunchy and simply delicious. This place deserves to be loved and returned to. I hope this nice little store stays...
