    Lou's Takeaway is truly such a gem. People are lined up right when it opens and the wait is not too long (I waited 20 minutes and was one of the first people on queue) for the quality of the food- made with effort and love. I got a fried chicken dish and it was absolutely delicious, almost cried lol. The portions are generous so the price point is more than reasonable; you could probably make 2 meals out of what you're served. Every day the menu is different so they have many treasures to offer! Can't wait to come again and bring loved ones!

    LOU, Please put your spicy pork balls with picante peanuts on the menu again soon ( if you're up for it). They were amazing. It was a wonderful, whimsical touch to your always delicious innovative menu. Thank you!!

    Lou’s Takeaway is easily one of my favorite food spots in Marin. The food is absolutely out of this world. It’s packed with flavor, consistently excellent, and clearly made with a lot of care. Every dish I’ve had has been memorable. I really appreciate the revolving menu. It keeps things interesting and gives you a reason to come back often. You never feel bored ordering here. My only “complaints” are that they’re not open seven days a week, and once I called to order shortly after opening only to find they were already completely sold out. But honestly, that just proves how good the food is and how many people are lining up for it. If you can catch them while they’re open and before they sell out, it’s 100 percent worth it. Highly recommend.

    Wow!!! I can’t believe I just found out about Lou’s! I am a total foodie constantly looking for great food. I love all the farms and local suppliers that Lou uses and you can tell how much love has gone into his creations. I had their fried chicken today which was unbelievable in flavor, quality and the portion is outstanding. Walking up to the counter, I was greeted with so much warmth. This place is not to be missed!! I can’t wait for my next meal!!!

    Our favorite “treat yo self” lunch spot. Do not come if you’re seeking a “quick fix” for your hunger. Good food takes time to prepare. The care & creativity of the takeaway plates have always satisfied our deepest cravings. Thank you to Lou & the team for always preparing such good meals for the soul. Also, sometimes the owner comes out to greet us as we’re waiting in line. Little things like that make it a true neighborhood joint.
