In a town with as many Asian-styled dining places as Novato, it can be difficult to find one that stands out. But Dragon Cafe, a Mandarin-style eating establishment with Cantonese flavor, manages to do just that. Unlike other Asian-themed eateries in town, it serves up super-fresh food, with many of the vegetables coming straight from the on-site garden. Due to the limited seating availability inside, many customers opt for take-out. Popular dishes include chow-fun, kung pao chicken and sweet and sour chicken.
