Emma's Restaurant — Restaurant in San Rafael

My boyfriend and I dined here on a quiet Sunday night. We are both born and raised in SF so we know good Chinese food. We were sad to learn Ping's closed but were hopeful that this place would be a good replacement from the menu and reviews. We were so happy to doscover that it is actually an improvement on Ping's in terms of portions, quality, and ambiance.

We ordered the Westlake Beef Soup which very few Chinese restaurants outside of SF are able to do well and were impressed by how wholesome and substantial it was. Highly recommend if you've never tried Westlake soup.

Then we ordered our favorite dish Beef Chow Fun. Often when chow fun is done wrong, it is too greasy but this was not greasy at all. The noodles were not overly seasoned and the portion was huge with plenty of beef. Must order!

Finally we ordered the Black Bean Prawns which had a ton of shrimp and perfectly cooked veggies in a savory bold sauce. Could easily be three meals worth!

This is our new favorite Chinese restaurant in Marin! We plan to come back regularly and highly recommend you come by yourself. You will...

We went for a meal at Pings only to find out it has changed hands and is now Emma's! Same place, same building. Maybe Pings went under because of Covid, as many businesses did, I don't know. Too bad. However, we enjoyed an excellent meal here last night. The waiters were speedy and efficient. The crab puffs were the best I've had, really crispy. Then I ordered the beef with three mushrooms, plus the eggplant dish, not realizing that the beef with mushrooms came with other vegetables anyway - bok choy, baby sweet corn, and more. It was all delicious. My husband had the fish, but of course we had ordered far too much and needed take home boxes for about a third of it. We will certainly come here again, but not order nearly as much! Highly recommend...

After living in Marin County for many years, we had struggled to find a great Chinese restaurant—until tonight. Our first visit to Emma's Chinese Restaurant was a wonderful surprise. The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions that left plenty to take home. The restaurant has been beautifully remodeled, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Located at 817 Francisco Blvd W in San Rafael, near the I-580 and US-101 junction, it’s easy to find. If you're looking for a fantastic meal, give Emma's a try—you won’t be...
