Comforts

Ordered the tofu Chinese salad to go and wow that was the best vegetarian friendly salad I've ever tasted! I can't wait to come back to dine in or order something again. So impressed!

The chicken Okasan and Chinese chicken salad are crowd pleasers. Can't go wrong with these two dishes.

Not just for salads, Comforts is an excellent caterer! Comforts catered my wife's retirement cocktail party and I couldn't be more pleased. They were very responsive when I called and clear about the services they provided. They gave excellent advice about what to serve (always Chicken Okasan) and the quantities were pretty accurate. On the day of the event the servers were professional but fun and friendly.

Everything looked beautiful, tasted great, and was well displayed. They neatly packaged the leftovers and left the place cleaner than when they arrived. I will certainly use Comforts again for my next catered event and would recommend them highly.

Great place for breakfast plus very tasty and fresh cookies.

We ordered food for a small (12 person) gathering and the food was wonderful. All food choices were a hit with the group. Thanks Comforts! They even customized a cake for us.

Best Asian chicken salad in the world! The salad dressing is so good I bought extra to take home.

Comfort food, weekend vibes any day of the week, decent service and dog friendly to boot! Stroll around San Anselmo's charming downtown after and check out the charming shops, galleries and more.

I took a two year break from Comforts because it seemed to be going downhill. Just went there today for the Chinese Chicken salad and it was fantastic. So Comforts is back in and one of the few very good restaurants remaining.

We had Comforts cater an open house for us this past week. Every part of the process was fantastic. From Patti in catering, to the delivery, to the food itself and its wonderful presentation. Asian Chicken Salad is absolutely the best salad--full of beautiful chicken. The Chicken Okasan is also fantastic. But, the overall experience itself is what stood out--effortless and very well done. Kudos to the entire Comforts concept.

Met a client here for lunch and it reminded me of how much I love this place. The food is always excellent and it's so refreshing to see restaurant staff actually enjoy what they are doing. I really like how they continually add new things to their menu and not sure who's buying for them but they have an awesome retail section. I got an amazing gift basket of their jams, chocolates and wines for Christmas. Hands down this is easily my favorite San Anselmo restaurant.

Good variety of desserts and ready-made foods to-go. I recommend their buttermilk griddle pancakes, chicken okasan (breaded sesame chicken), and I love their cakes, CAKES, CAKES! Haven't tried their coconut cake, but their chocolate cakes are so good.

Chinese tofu salad is very good but the customer service of the cashier is very bad, especially if you are Latino, she speaks to you very rude

Best Chinese chicken salad I've ever had in my life! Since 2008, we've been coming here for that exact item. Prices have increased over the years, but the Chinese chicken salad is so good, it's worth it planning around. Expect 20+ minute wait. And in lines up to an hour wait if you wanna sit down to eat

I love comforts and how they offer many vegan options now! Their food is always amazing and their pre-made chinese tofu salad is so delicious!

I just waited for 15 minutes behind someone who is being checked out only to have the girl working by the door come over and help the person that was behind me check out first. All I wanted to do was pay for my chicken salads and I was waiting there very patiently only to get passed up, your salad is absolutely wonderful but if I'm going to be paying for it I would like to be treated properly.

Thank you very much for the timely response Erin, I live in Berkeley but will hopefully have time to stop by on Thursday. Obviously you take customer service very seriously, I appreciate that. Your food is wonderful and I would agree it was not personal. I just stopped by, I was in a little bit of a rush and it was not very busy so I just bought what I needed.

I did not want to rush a conversation, I will make time to come back and speak with you soon. Today was wonderful, not one thing bad to say about you, your staff, or facility. Thank you 3/10 12:40ish

One of the best Asian chicken salads in the area. Everything else is ok. Lattes are not good. Had a matcha latte and was the sweetest drink I've ever had.

You may buy food and eat them on your own at the outside table/chairs. Weekdays, open til 5 pm. On Sat, the store closes at 3 pm. Be there before 2:45 pm! On 90 degree hot summer days, the Chinese chicken salad & chicken okasan get sold out by 4:30 pm (on weekdays but close early on Sat & Sun). Get yours before 4 pm if you must have. This is the best place to get Chinese Chicken Salad to go in hot summer days in Marin.

During summer months, they sold 800+ salads and may not have ingredients left to make more in the kitchen. I heard they sell easily 5-600 boxes of CCS per a day during summer months. Personally, Comforts Chinese Chicken Salad will be my deathbed meal as I crave for it every few weeks especially hot "I don't want to cook" summer days. The big box (looks like Chinese take out box) of CCS will suffice for 2 adults for dinner.

They have marinated tofu instead of chicken for the same salad for Vegetarian. We often get Tofu Chinese salad for friends practicing Halal or Vegetarian. If anybody is allergic to sesame seeds or almond, you could ask one the staff to make those ingredients separately packaged for you, then they will make a new box of salad without those ingredients but on the side (in a ziplock bag) to take home.

The restaurant has 2 different areas. One area is deli/take-out counter service area with some round tables and to the left of the entrance there's a sit-down waiter-service restaurant with a patio sitting.

Love the Chinese Tofu Salad! However there are very few plant-based options on the menu. I also impulse-purchased some of their sweet potato hummus and it was revolting. Oh my god, it was coyingly sweet but with notes of cumin. Gag!

I've ordered takeout from Comforts multiple times over the last few months and can say with confidence that this restaurant is phenomenal! It's almost become tradition when near San Anselmo to pay a visit to Comforts and eat at the nearest park or even have a car picnic. We always opt for the Chicken Okasan and it never disappoints, it's cooked to perfection, moist and tender on the inside with the perfect touch of crisp on the outside, the flavor is so unique and always so delicious.

Think Chick-Fil-A mixed with Chicken Katsu all wrapped up into a delicious package! Food is always ready fast and is always delicious, there was one instance where instead of our usual meals we accidentally received nothing but chicken by the pound, but I'd be lying if I said my inner Okasan-Aficionado didn't enjoy it thoroughly (there's a reason no one called to have it changed). However, we have not yet gotten to the star of the show, dessert!

Just thinking about the Mini Chocolate Cupcakes is tempting me to get in the car and drive to Marin right now! These Cupcakes were remarkable with a moist crumb, and a deep chocolate flavor, coupled with the sweet and ever-so-slightly tangy cream cheese frosting those cupcakes were definitely winners. Based on those baking skills I can only imagine just how great Breakfast and Bruch is. So, next time you find yourself in Downtown San Anselmo looking for a great, Comforts is a can't-miss on your stop! Now, the only thing left to do is find an excuse to go down to Marin.

Its the rave on their chinese chicken salad and okasan, mom's fried chicken? Always hyped up expectations are tough to live up to. My friend and coworker loves it and ordered it as catering for our staff lunch. I don't know the price, but value to execution is what I look for when it is pretty standard food. The chicken salad was very refreshing, nice strips of chicken, fresh crunchiness. Took me a while to eat, salads, especially ones that have many textured ingredients involves alot of chewing.

The dressing was a bit oily, I know some people who are against oil/fats would not like, it could use a bit more acid as well. Okasan chicken was not dry being breast, didn't see a sauce with it? It reminded me of a fast food nugget but handmade so a bit healthy? Cauliflower roast was a bit on the oily side as well. If price was reasonable, 4 stars, if price was high, it will drop to 3 stars.

Best Chinese Chicken salad. I believe this was the original. None the less, the food at Comforts is always fresh and great tasting. My favorite, which I eat just about 3-5 times a week, is the Chinese Chicken salad. Yeah, anyone can get lettuce, green onions, chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, and blood orange slice, but it's all in the magical taste of Comfort's Chinese Chicken salad dressing.

While you're there, grab a bottle for when the dressing you're being served can't win a taste contest even while being the only dressing in the contest. Comfort's is definitely a Gold Medal Winner!

This is just more a "What Are They Doing During the Pandemic?" review. Well, they're still serving great food, for one, but the real news is they have much improved outdoor seating outside in front. Plenty of room for each table and if you have a canine friend, plenty of room for them too! It's really nice to hang out in front!

I love comforts but their phone system with takeout over the phone is abysmal. It's absurd that weekend after weekend, I'm on hold over 20 minutes, and often never ending up talking to any human. After 12 minutes of waiting through Frank Sinatra music, the phone system brings you back to the original menu options, just to cycle through music purgatory again and again. Sigh.

Please implement an online ordering system! I desperately want to support my local businesses- Comforts is my favorite. This has been going on for over a year. If you are too short-staffed to answer the phones, please just say so on your answering service.

I go out of my way to come here for their chicken salad. It's so refreshing and full of flavor. And they have an amazing selection of delicious fresh pastries of all sorts. My favorite is the Mexican wedding cookies.

With 2020 being so unorthodox, finding a Thanksgiving Meal this year was necessary to keep some sort of tradition. The food we ordered was AMAZING! Seasoned beautifully and will be our new family tradition. The turkey was moist and soooo flavorful. The stuffing was not over salted (sorry Gma), the gravy was the topper of it all. I am not a gravy person, but would put it on almost anything. Thank you Comforts for making this holiday season more bearable. Next year our entire brood will get to enjoy your delectable treats.

This place was simply amazing. Brunch was out of this world. and took desserts home to share! One of my new favs to visit when I travel to CA
