Marina Café

Love this place. I work nearby.
Great food. Amazing prices. Run by a very sweet Korean couple.
I recommend calling in your order for pickup!
My favorites are the club sandwich, chicken sandwich, and breakfast bagel sandwich.

I recently got hired for a company that works in the Wells Fargo building across from here. Since the building doesn’t have any vending machines, this place offers a few snacks but also some breakfast and lunch items as well.
About $ 3.00 for breakfast items is pretty good.
The breakfast burrito is plain, the tortilla is always undercooked. However, their breakfast croissant is my go to breakfast. Stay away from the sausage and go with the ham as your «protein» on any of your breakfast items.
You can call phone in your orders as well. They cook it pretty quickly, so don’t wait too long to pick it up.

Im giving this place another try because they asked me about my Unilocal.So far ok, the lady married to the man I had issues with in the past is sweet & the fact that they read Unilocal to get better about reviews says something. So if your in a bind in the area give their breakfast croissants or pb & banana protein shake a try.

New Ownership! Korean husband and wife couple that does a nice job of running the Café cleaner and prices are really good for the value and quality of lunch items on the menu.
I eat here once a week and order the Grilled Chicken Teriyaki with broccoli veggies and grilled onions (SEE photo). The chow mein is also good and for $ 5.49 is of great value. I have also attached a menu for those of you who want to order by phone and pick up.

First of all, their price is really good, and based on their price, the quality is also good.
Everyone should try their chow mein, orange chicken, and omelete. It is hard to believe that omelete is only $ 3.99!
Also, they cook chow mein and orange chicken from the bottom, which means, so frozen food cooking. It taste different, but you will realize it is much healthier.
It is close to our building, so it is really convenient to stop by. I recommend everyone to try their food.

I have to use the nearby bank here quite often and did once stop in here for lunch.
Nothing fancy. I just had a simple burger found it satisfactory and if I’m hungry and it happens to be around lunch time and I’m at the bank I’d probably stop in here again.

Ham Omelet is awsome!!! Don’t miss it If you looking for the right place for breakfast.

My review is for the times I came here when the old owners were operating it. They now have new owners, and I’m hoping they run it better because the old owner, this Chinese lady was all over the place and was pretty shady. The food itself is mostly awful, and IMO the only thing decent here is their Chinese food, which isn’t even on the menu board. And that’s the major problem with this place, they have a lot of different types of food; American, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese but just a few items are actually on the menu, so unless you already know that they have a bunch of unlisted stuff, you’re just gonna end up ordering off a very limited menu. Another thing about the menu is their odd pricing. There are some items that are a great deal, but some are horrible deals, so horrible it makes no sense.
Besides the food and the menu, my main complaint like the others is the seemingly innocent looking Chinese lady who is pretty sneaky. She is pretty well known for trying to over-​charge, even if it’s by 25 or 50 cents. I’ve caught her doing it and even had people behind me call her out on it. I’m kinda glad she’s no longer the owner here.

I wish I could give this place less than one star, but unfortunately I can’t.
Since it’s so close to my work, I’ve been here a quite a few times. The prices always fluctuate, the food is only sub par and my order is rarely correct.
I haven’t gone there in quite some time so I figured I would give it another shot. To make a long story short, I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and 16 minutes later I was late for work with no sandwich. She had fulfilled two orders that came in after mine while I was waiting for mine. When I got up and told her i had to go she got upset and said my food was ready. I looked at the grill and noticed the cook was just putting my bread on it. I told her I had to go and she couldn’t figure out how to refund my money. She is the owner, with her husband, and they have no concept of good customer service.
I have seen and heard her tell homeless people they smell and to get out while they are trying to buy food. She has yelled at customers for not closing her cooler doors all the way, when they were broken to begin with. She argues with you if your order is taking too long, the cost is different, and if your order is wrong.
I have nicknamed this place Salmonella Café because of all of the upset stomachs it has given co workers. The fruit is questionable, at best. The milk is usually expired. There have been dead pigeons in the eating area. I don’t know how or why this place hasn’t been shut down.
Beware!

Great smoothie when on the go!

I really hate giving this place one star, in fact I wish I could give it zero stars. It used to be the staple of my mornings. I would always go in and get the same thing and new exactly how much it was. Unfortunately that all changed once it got new ownership. Then things really went downhill.
I am sure most of it is due to the fact that the Asian girl that works there just can’t seem to get her act together. I haven’t figured out if she is the new owner or not. My biggest complaint is the prices fluctuate on a daily basis. One day a burger, fries, and drink will be $ 4.50. The next day it will be $ 5.75. Then next week it will be $ 4.75. She tends to make up prices as she goes along.
Another issue I have is she does not know how to use the credit debit pin pad device at all. It takes her 5 minutes or longer to get a transaction to go through. Then she pulls out money from her register and hands it to you. What is it for if you didn’t ask for cash back? Well she has a tendency to enter incorrect amounts and overcharge you. I once ended up having to pay $ 15.00 for a $ 2.00 coffee because I only had $ 5.00 in my account and she charged it as $ 8.00 so my bank hit me with an overdraft fee.
I have stopped going there and I am glad. There have been time when I am walking to work from the parking structure and she leaves food sitting on the ground, in the parking structure, and it is still sitting there when I go to lunch. Who knows what bugs have got into it, how many times the piegons pooped on it, how many times the rats chewed on it, how much car exhaust it has collected, or how many times it has been trampled on by people. Eventually she does collect it to serve next day. I have pics of this too. It has already been shut down once for health code violations.
This is the best part. Every time she sees me around the office building she will stop me and comment how I haven’t visited in a long time and how come I don’t buy stuff from her anymore. Do you really want to know? I would tell you but I don’t have the time.
