For some reason, the bay area is low on decent places for take-out Chinese food, but we do have a suggestion for those who crave cartons of moo shu pork or lemon chicken. Marbo does a nice job with most dishes. It certainly produces a respectable fried spring roll, a delectable version of sautéed string beans with bean curd, and a perfectly delightful, tasty dish of chicken with snow peas. Plus, it's quick, efficient and reasonably priced. How can you beat that?
