Edo Grill

Very underrated by other people. They make the food right there in front of you. The food is fresh and tasty.

UNCLEAN. I am literally still sitting at the drive through writing this. I saw the woman serving me picking at my food with her hands. Absolutely disgusting. Waste of money since I’m going to just throw the food out when I get it.

Not too much to say. I got the Chicken Yakisoba and this dish was notable for having a lack of flavor, mushy noodles, but okay chicken. Wouldn’t recommend it.
I’m not exactly sure how this place survives, but it’s prices are cheap for Marin, quantity is good, but quality is very lacking.

Tried the noodles with chicken — I think it was #4? For $ 7.57 the portion was huge so much so I was afraid the weight of it would tear the bag it came in. The chicken & veggies cooked well. However it was bland… without that side of hot sauce I don’t think I would’ve eaten it. I do come here because its easy to get to & the drive thru. But next time ill stick to eating th orange chicken solo.

The menus were quite confusing and seemed to be all over the place! The service was also slow, but obviously the food was fresh. I ordered chicken yakisoba (split it between two people easily). It was a bit bland; some soy sauce or just salt and pepper would have improved it. It was tasty and filling, though, and was a good, inexpensive option.

Not much of a variety on the menu, but the food seemed to be quite freshly made (not sitting out all day). Got the chicken & brocolli with rice from the kids menu, as well as the chicken chow fun. Love that its not greasy or oily like most asian fast food, but it was mostly noodles/​rice. Not much veggies at all. The chow-​fun was pretty much chicken on noodles with some sauce. Wish it were atleast mixed together.
If you’re going to claim «healthy» then give us some vegetables!

This is our go to place for quick pick up on or way home from work. Yummy, plentiful, made to order, family business… glad it’s here when we’re in a pinch and hungry.

Orange chicken is always amazing! Plenty of vegetables served with the plate, which is always a plus. They also have a drive-​thru for when you’re feeling extra lazy: P

I think it would be so awesome to have a real healthy drive thru where you could pick up some fresh, unprocessed food when you are In a hurry. The key to making it fast would be very limited choices… Beverages could be fresh juices, smoothies and teas. If it was Japanese that would be interesting. But Edo Grill is more like a greasy Chinese place with a few low quality sushi items. All the drinks are high fructose corn syrup choices like Snapple and soda. Sometimes I take my son there to get sushi to eat in the car when we are in a hurry. I won’t eat the food. I usually regret it since it takes so long and I don’t feel like he is getting a healthy, hearty lunch. It’s about a step up from any other drive thru and not significantly better.

I was in San Anselmo and hankering for a bite. My buddy Ford had told me the food at EDO Grill was healthy and good.
First off, there must be four menus to choose from, big ones, small ones, photos here, photos there. There appeared to be two items without meat in them, I made up my mind and approached the register, imagine my surprise… one more menu… vegetarian!
I had the veggie tofu, it was rather bland, they made it fresh, brown rice Was $ 1 extra but well worth it. Not much personality in the gal that served me. She could have asked if I wanted it spicy, etc.
I sat down and started to eat, I was hungry, it lacked flavor, I was torn, should I ask for sauce or just eat it. After the meal I approached the trash can to dispose of my paper plate and plastic fork I made eye contact with the hot sauce, but too late!
Reminds me of the food at the old folks him where my grandma lived in Orange county, everything was bland, the residents carried spices in their purses! Now I know where the hot sauce is… I may be back.
Decent Décor, and one menu would add a star…

Don’t let the old Jack in the Box fast food fool you. Fresh cooked in front of you.
Basic Asian home cooking. Good lunch spot.

This place is a bit weird. I’ve been there twice, ordered Chicken Yakisoba both times.
Pros: Lots of food for your money.
They make it fresh to order.
Prices are very reasonable.
Cons: I’ve always gone through the drive thru, which is great, but if there was ever anyone in front of me, the line would take FOREVER, and wouldn’t be worth the wait.
Food is bland. I need some Sriracha to make it complete. It’s not bad, it just needs a little something to take it to the final stage of tastiness.
I will be going back– mostly because there’s very few places in Marin that are cheap and good, and none except this place that has a drive thru. When I’m driving my kids around, the less I have to exit the vehicle and unhitch them from their child seats, the better. This place is also near a great playground and dog park, so I grab food and then eat it while letting the pets/​kids run around.

I tried this for the first time tonight and was pleasantly surprised. I was looking for a more healthy Chiese food, something light, fresh and not salty and loaded down with sauce and that’s what I got. The staff were friendly, the food very fresh (the spinach was really good!) and the portions generous. I’ll for sure be back.

This is my go to place when i need quick drive-​through food that’s not a burger.
Love the veggie fried rice — they will add more veggies for $ 1 more. The noodles are good as well.
Just wish they used different to-​go containers that the non-​recyclable ones they currently do.

I am confused by some of these reviews. I have never had a problem with the staff being unfriendly, quite the contrary actually. I have always been greeted with a smile. They do accept credit and debit cards, maybe it wasn’t the case in the beginning?
As far as the food goes… don’t expect high end Chinese food. It is a drive through joint, rate it as such. The food is fast, hot and tasty once you add a little of the hot sauce to give it the kick it is missing. The miso soup is very good, as well as the chicken teriyaki and shrimp.
When you want something fast, hot, and inexpensive it hits the spot!

Drive-​thru unagi nigiri: 2 pieces, freshly prepared, for under $ 2.
Ka-​ching!

Food was ok, but a bit bland.
Plenty of parking in their parking lot.

yum! i had the chicken yakisoba, and it was really good. it was cooked right in front of me, so i know it was fresh (and it definitely tasted so), served with a generous portion of chicken (and not gross fast-​food chicken), not greasy and well-​flavored. i could see how some people might like a little more flavor, but that’d be easily remedied by asking for a bit more sauce. my husband had the mushroom and veggies over noodles. he liked mine better, but did enjoy his meal, too.
we both agreed it was great to have some healthier fast food options. the service was fast, it was inexpensive, they did take credit cards (maybe the first reviewer came here before they had that set up) and they were quite friendly.
i’ll be back and i’m definitely appreciating the healthier choices brought to you by a family-​owned and run business.

My husband and I went through their drive-​in for a quick bite — contrary to other reviews, our food was not bland, the best way to explain it was «clean Chinese food», meaning everything was surprisingly fresh and not covered with the usual sugary sauces and greasy oils found in Chinese cooking. We had the grilled salmon, orange chicken and a caterpillar roll. The portions were incredibly fair for the price and were abundant. I will say that the owners are late in age and not over the top «in your face» friendly, however, they were both very communicative and did smile quite a bit.
As a small business owner myself, I’m in huge support of local business so I’m not going to write Edo Grill off quite yet — we would definitely go back and appreciate the fact that they are based on a healthy FAST FOOD business model, no one greets you at Subway, Burger King, or In & Out, you wait in line, order and sit — same premise here.
PS — they JUST opened 3 weeks ago.

This place opened about a month ago in the old Jack in the Box location in San Anselmo. I agree with Marc M. They really do need to work on their Customer Service skills. They weren’t rude they just didn’t do anything to be friendly. not even one smile.
Food wise it was okay. Next time if I stop by I will ask them to kick up the flavor a bit. I do like the way that you can see them grill you food right in front of you. I found the vegetables to be fresh and my portion size was more than ample.
You can take your food out or you can sit inside. They did a nice job of cleaning up the place from the old Jack n the Box and they did add new tables and chairs. The place was clean… spotless to be honest.
I just think since they are new and still getting to know their customers that perhaps they are working more on nerves than focusing on giving people a reason to WANT to come back. I’d say give them a try… I do wish them luck and hope they improve. After Jack n the Box left it was just this ugly empty building on Sir Francis Drak Blvd. they have at least given us something better to look at.
