We have eaten a lot of Chinese food across our travels - this was fresh vegetables cooked perfectly, well seasoned/flavored meats, noodles perfectly done with good flavor ... we enjoyed our meal so much, we forgot to take a picture. The house chow mein is not just a side dish, it is a meal! A favorite is the walnut prawns - still crispy with just the right sauce - YUM! Everyone that we interacted with was so nice - attentive and kind. They chatted with the kids and seemed to genuinely care about us as customers (thats refreshing!). We will be back - a great surprise finding this place.

In Santa Rosa and noticed the China Village Restaurant, where Rita's Chinese Restaurant used to be. I was going to stop at Gary Chew's Chinese Restaurant but I always have a hard time parking my truck in the downtown area, so the Chinese Village is it. What a great decision, the food was amazing, cooked perfectly, and delivered piping hot. The service was just as amazing, as was the cost. 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆

The food is Amazing and the portions are Huge! We could only eat about 1/3 of 3 plates. They know what they're doing, I could eat that salt and pepper pork for every meal. Even the tea was better than most places.

These pictures are of their Mushu Pork. Now, I've had plenty of Mushu Pork throughout the Bay Area and this is by far, the skimpiest, least flavored, and most water based I have ever had. The "Pork" looks boiled and like it hasn't touched a flame at all. I'm eating more of a stewed slaw in a pancake than anything. My wife got the War Wonton soup and it tasted more of a vegetable stock and mainly vegetables than anything. Finally, the Garlic Chicken we got was again, extremely watery and tasted like it came from a boiling pot yet again. For the price of 3 dishes and a large soup, it was about $70...not impressed at all and will find something else, I recommend you do the same.

The food was good better than other Chinese restaurants. 3 1/2 stars. I have been to this restaurant a few times and will go back until I find my favorite Chinese restaurant. This can't be the best Chinese food place in Santa Rosa or could it? I need to do more research, and my rating might change.

I would not eat here again. I stopped by, in person ordered 2 lunch specials and hot/sour soup. I ordered the general tso chicken with chow mien and sweet/sour pork with chow mien. The general chicken was dry and had no favor. The chow mein on both on our lunch specials were way too salty. The sweet and sour pork was chewy. The only item that was decent was the soup. Don't waste your money.

No one in my family was impressed with the Chinese food. Their lemon chicken was dry and tasteless. Their chowfun didn’t have much flavor either. The only good thing about this place was the walnut prawns. Also isn’t name China Village stolen from the Cotati restaurant?

This place looks like a traditional Chinese restaurant when you walk in so we expected traditional Chinese food. It's Americanized versions instead. Still good though.

@ St Francis Center 138-B Calistoga Rd Santa Rosa, CA 95409 Wow, what a great find in Santa Rosa! This was my first time to China Village. I didn't expect to find this in a Safeway shopping center. It's a large restaurant with plenty of tables, rich and colorful decor, and a bar. Decor/ Interior (5/5). I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and shown a table in the back half of the dining room. I told the server I only had 30-mins, and could I have a small bowl of Wor Won Ton Soup. I went to use the restroom, and when I returned to my table, they were serving my soup. That's quick service! Service (5/5). How was the soup? Average at best. Maybe it's because they made it super fast. It was considered a "small" bowl, so it had 7-8 dumplings. It had a few pieces of meat and shrimp. But the zucchini was undercooked and hard to eat. Usually chinese restaurants use bok choy or napa cabbage in the won ton soup. Food (3/5). If I'm in the area, I'd like to return and try the Seafood Tofu Claypot dinner. Next time, I won't be rushed. This place would be good for large groups or parties. Free parking in lot.

My first time at this location. The space is expansive and light. Staff very friendly and kind. That right there priceless. I ordered from extensive lunch menu. My food arrived so quickly I had yet to finish my hot sour soup and egg roll included in lunch special. Sorry I ate it before I thought to take a pic. lol. I've been craving the crispy noodles for a couple weeks. Today that is no longer true. The noodles are crispy and fresh just the way I like them. The topping is also fresh and so delicious. It's not a dish offered many places outside of China Town. So I felt very fortunate to have for lunch today. The servings are so large for this you might want to bring a friend to share. It's a long drive but I was close by running an errand. It was perfect. Next time I'm returning with my oldest granddaughter. She loves this dish too.

This is an update to my previous review. I'm going to say that this place is slipping a bit. In the last 6 month 9-24 to 3-25, the food is starting to be hit or miss. Sometimes we get a good meal, and lately more and more not so good. The service remains pretty good and do the prices. But, on 4-2-25 we both received our food and it was cold. I don't mean not warm enough, I mean cold. I had them box it so I could microwave it at home later. I mentioned it to the waitress and she said I should have said something earlier. I told he I would have if she had ever come around again. She blamed me for not flagging her down.. okay. He excuse was that " sometimes they leave the back kitchen door open and if the food gets caught in the breeze it gets cold. I asked her if that was the story she was going to stick to and she said yes. Now why would be back door of the kitchen be open? To let the flys in or the cockroaches out???? Either way, we are going to stay away from this place for a few months and then see if they get better. They were consistently good in the past. Something changes.

This Labor Day Weekend gave me a little more time off so I went out for lunch near our house in Rincon Valley. The smell of fresh food and scene of a clean bar and dining room won me over when I walked in. I was greeted immediately and told I could choose my seat while the waitress finished with another customer. The lunch menu entrees included an egg roll and soup of the day. The shumai takes a little bit of time, but that is to be expected when they are made to order and steamed. The shrimp and pork filling was well worth it and I will be ordering those and other dumplings the next time I'm in. The hot and sour soup had great flavor from the peppers and vinegar, with a thick brother with chunks of tofu and mushrooms. The portion size of the Szechuan pork was definitely enough for two meals, so I packed the leftovers up after my rice was gone. This is a great place to eat in or have takeout, highly recommend if you're looking for a quick Chinese American meal.

I have been here so many times because the food is just too good. I live in SF and this is my favorite Chinese food I have found so far. Every dish I try, I love so I had to write a review. We always eat in the restaurant and the food tastes fresh, hot, and delicious. The orange chicken is crispy but also light and airy on the outside. Th sauce is sweet and a little tangy. The chow mein is always a hit and don't get me started on the eggplant. We tried it for the first time and it is now my favorite. Crispy and fried on the outside with a sweet sauce. Sometimes I don't like the texture of eggplant, but this was perfect. The staff here is very nice, the restaurant is never too crowded (I think they do a lot of take out orders), and our food always comes out fast. I would give higher than a 5/5 if possible.

I found this restaurant on Yelp by the grace of a higher power. I arrived after the lunch crowd was gone and the restaurant was empty except for a few people who came in to pick up their to go orders. Hannih greeted me and asked where would I like to sit? She also brought me a menu. She explained that I had just missed the lunch specials but encouraged me to come back and try next time. I chose the sizzling platter with chicken and vegetables. The presentation was outstanding and it put a smile on my face. Joyce was super friendly and very attentive. The sizzling of this dish made me feel fuzzy inside. This will be a new spot for me to return to. It's located in the plaza with Safeway and there's plenty of accessible parking. I also enjoyed the hand made vegetable pot stickers, they were so good with the sauce on the side. This was a home run for me.

We were going to eat here, but we decided that it was too expensive. It looks to be about $20 for an average entrée once you include tax and tip. If an entrée is $20 that means if you get an appetizer and a drink, your in for probably $35 a person to eat here. Even simple staple things like fried rice are very expensive. Chinese food used to be the most affordable, but it has become one of the more expensive things in town. Not worth it at all. We will just have to forgo this place on the future.

For anybody that has had good Chinese food ever in their lives would know this place is pure garbage. It's unfortunate that Santa Rosa has very limited options in terms of Chinese, dim sum, and Asian food in general. We have sat down and ate here a few times and been disappointed. I went recently just to get two orders of plain noodles for my kids to go. When I say plain I mean no meat, no vegetables, no sauce. Just plain cooked noodles. They charged me $34! They ran my credit card before telling me the price and when I asked in astonishment if the price was correct, they verified that that's what the kitchen wanted to charge. I typically get the same thing at several other Asian restaurants in the area and I'm never charged more than $5 per container, but I decided to order here since I was in the area but didn't know what they would charge me. On top of it all, they told me to 'go have a seat' on their couch while I waited for the plain noodles to be done. I waited 25 minutes before I finally stood up and went to get a status update and the noodles had been sitting there the whole time but they didn't bother to inform me. In addition, when I got home I noticed the container was warped and had holes in it because they spilled hot oil. (See photo). If you're limited to Santa Rosa and hankering for Chinese, you're better off hitting Royal China, Hang Ah Dim Sum, Ting Hau, or Goji. And if your kids are like mine, plain fried noodles from any of these places will be cheaper. My kids love the ones from Simmer, Rohnert Park the best. $4 each. I pray that one day some good Chinese food will come into the area and wipe this slovenly, low quality place off the map.

Really good service that I received when I went camping in sugarloaf. I didn't want to cook and clean so hey we're one of the options. The food is good and there's plenty of other stores in the shopping area. Good portions except the fried rice came in those small container.otherwise really good!

Usually the food at China Village is tasty and the servings are generous. But yesterday, the food was quite tasteless. When we were asked how everything was, we told the waitress that the food wasn't good. It lacked salt and and seasoning. She only said sorry. We didn't even want the leftovers.

Jordyn B.

Yelp
Just between the service, first time I called it was $51 then I added something that was $18 that does not equal $91 including tax. That's what I got charged. When I asked for an itemized receipt the lady rolled her eyes and acted like she was trying to hide something. Then she then was super rude about it. What's wrong with wanting an itemized receipt with prices?

I might be dating myself, but do y'all remember the Mervyn's commercial with the mom at the windows tapping away saying "open open open" in anticipation of getting her shop on? That's how I've felt for MONTHS waiting for this spot to finally open. I'd casually make my morning walk stroll past the restaurant to keep tabs on progress. I looked on Yelp this morning to discover they opened yesterday! You can bet I was ready for it - it's been coming for months! As soon as my guy got home we headed over for lunch. Next time we'll order some dishes and really taste different things but this was a good palette tester. I ordered the sesame beef lunch plate with fried rice. He got the Szechuan chicken with chow mein. Lunch special today came with hot n sour soup and fried wontons. Everything was delicious. Hot and sour soup is one of our favorite dishes to order when getting chinese. Theirs does not disappoint! For me, it was the perfect texture, if that makes sense. Thick but not too thick, slightly oily (in a good way), and no meat or weird additions to it. Good heat and balanced flavor. I wish my sesame beef was a little crispier but flavor was good and fried rice didn't taste greasy. I'm so excited they are finally open and walkable from my house! Fantastic addition to the neighborhood. We go fairly often for either dinner or lunch. It's a solid addition to this side of town. Great food quality to value spend.

Today I decided to venture out and try something new. I am very glad I did. Upon entering China Village I noticed it was very clean and nice inside. There were 2 tables eating. My nephew and I waited as the cashier helped out a customer. A lady in the back came by and told us we could sit anywhere so we chose a table. She brought the menus and took our drink orders. It was not very busy so she stopped by a couple times to check if we were ready to order. We went with the chicken chow mein, orange chicken and eggs rolls. The food came out quickly, the egg rolls were very tasty and had the perfect crunch to them. I also appreciated that they were not super greasy. The orange crispy was very tasty, I do wish it had a little bit of a spice to it but I know that not everyone likes that so overall it was tasty. Fortunately they have siracha so that gave the meal an extra kick! The chicken chow mein was delicious, probably one of the best that I've ever had. Finally when we were done, one of the workers came over and offered to box up our food which I liked a lot. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because once we got our food nobody checked on us to see if everything came out okay or refills, which is really important. If you are a guest who does not like to be bothered, this will be the restaurant for you. I will be back to try other options on the menu.

I've ordered take out from this place a few times and loved the food so we tried eating in person recently and the food was still great and service was great too (though we did go during an off hour). The restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. Really spacious, could definitely get a big group in there! My favorite items to order are the house special fried rice and the beef with fresh mushrooms. In restaurant they serve the beef and fresh mushrooms on a sizzling plate - but trust me even in take out form it's delicious and so flavorful. And their house special fried rice is the most protein packed fried rice I've ever seen. Very generous with the protein!! Hubby is Chinese and said the flavors here are really authentic. My only criticism is that they didn't have chopsticks on the table. But regardless of that I hope this spot never closes!

I went in and ordered take out from a gentleman. I ordered Mu Shu Pork, Fried Rice, and Walnut Shrimp. When I came back I told the lady I had ordered. Mu Shu Pork, Fried Rice, and Walnut Shrimp. And she handed me the package. I got home and first ate some of my Mu Shu Pork. I felt something sharp and I found this piece on metal in my Mu Shu. I then started to eat my Walnut Shrimp. It didn't taste right. It took me a while to realize it wasn't Walnut Shrimp, but rather Walnut Chicken. When I called to tell them they had given me the wrong dish they said they could refund me, but could just give me a credit for next time. I then started to tell her about the piece of metal I had found. I wasn't asking for anything, I just thought they should know. But when I told her that, she just hung up on me. Poor customer service!!! Too bad too, because the food wasn't bad. But the customer service was awful.

We have had take out numerous times from this wonderful restaurant. Last night we ordered our usual Orange chicken. Something has changed and not for the better. The chicken , which in the past was tender and moist, was tough and dry. the breading , which in the past was light with a delicious slight orange flavor, was thick, doughy and tasteless. we hope the chef will go back to the previous delicious recipe.

I've always wondered what this place was like - it always seemed so empty every time I pass by when visiting Safeway. S E R V I C E: We were seated right away and noticed there was only a couple of people eating. We were given the Luncheon menus and also a dinner menu. I tried asking if there was a difference with serving size, but I don't think the server understood my question. The dinner menu does have more food options though! F O O D: My fiancé and I ordered different specials that came with appetizer, soup of the day, and whatever dish you want. He ordered pork fried rice and I ordered orange chicken with chow mein. I couldn't tell what kind of soup we had, but we both didn't enjoy it. It tasted pretty bitter. The serving sizes of our main dishes were huge! I feel like a couple or maybe a family of four could share a couple of dishes. My orange chicken was amazing. Perfect crispness and chicken was juicy. The chow mein had great flavor and it tastes even better with their spicy chili! O V E R A L L: We were both very impressed. Probably some of the best Chinese food I've tasted in a long time. I can't wait to come back!

Weekday combination lunch special, $15.95. Szechuan pork. Meal quickly starts with hot n' sour soup. Cup size. Thick consistency from corn starch. Very flavorful. Slightly chili spicy, moderately sour. Lots of stringy egg in it. Served with fried roll. Cabbage filled. Generic, probably bought in frozen bulk from the distributor. Sticky sweeet dipping sauce, also run-of-the-mill bottled from the factory. Szechuan pork in slivers. Moist. Just the right amount of chew. Spring onions, bamboo shoots, a few mung bean sprouts, goodly amount of freshly minced garlic. Sauce is pretty salty. Chow mien is toothy. Good quality noodles. Plenty of it. Sauce a little too same'y-same'y flavor as the pork. Hot tea ($2) is fine quality. I left the tea bag in the pot for the whole meal. The tea was not too tannic even after 20 minutes. Nice people, friendly and helpful. Conclusion: Not the fanciest nor tastiest Chinese food in Sonoma county, but well above average. Me likes! Will return for more.

When they first opened it was awesome! We like pineapple chicken and orange chicken. The white meat pieces were lightly breaded and delicious! We ordered takeout for lunch last week. I ordered pineapple chicken.... The batter was so thick it was hard to find the tiny pieces of chewy chicken.... I couldn't eat it, had to throw it away... So sad they've resulted to such tactics probably to save money. If you want sweet and sour chunks of batter you will love the place....

My wife and I were staying nearby in Sonoma and we were craving some Chinese food. China Village was the highest rated restaurant as well as the closest option, so we decided to put in a Yelp order for their BBQ fried rice and their fried salt and pepper pork chop. We ordered around 6:30 p.m. and our order was ready about 20 minutes later. Of the two dishes we ordered, the fried rice was the dish I enjoyed more. It had plenty of BBQ pork and each kernel of rice was fried nicely. The rice packed the to-go container to the brim: more than enough rice for two people. Moving on to our other dish, the salt and pepper pork ribs had too many bone shards in it for me to thoroughly enjoy it. The fried onions and jalapeños in the dish were also over-salted. You'll definitely want to have a bottle of water nearby as you're eating this dish, or have a giant bowl of white rice. $34.85 was the total for these two dishes. While it's not the best Chinese food I've had, it satisfied my craving for Chinese while in the North Bay.

This was our first experience with China village and we liked it a lot. We did take out but when I went to pick it up I saw a lovely restaurant inside so we'll have to go for sit down sometime. We ordered several things and pretty much liked everything. We particularly liked the ribs they had a nice Ginger kind of flavor. We also had the spicy chicken wings which actually were not as hot as we expected but we like them a lot. We also had pork fried rice that was yummy and very large portion and moo shu pork. I don't know it was a great experience and we will be back

The portions are large and the food is good! We had the orange chicken, crab rangoons, pork fried rice, and the eggplant and tofu. I like that the sauce of the orange chicken is served off to the side when ordering takeout! That keeps the chicken crunchy and I noticed that there's a lot more chicken than breading here. That's a huge plus! The eggplant tofu is one of my favorite things and not many places have it, so I was happy to see they offer it here. It's flavorful and definitely something I'd order again.

First time I ordered take out due to a recommendation and I told the girl over the phone not to include shell fish in my order because I'm allergic to shell fish . I was going to let it go because my family could eat it but it was in both dishes I ordered . When I called they insisted I return it in order to get a new one. I waited until my family was finished and drove back . The young girl gave me attitude, didn't apologize and said she would only give me half the amount of house fried because it was slightly eaten . She ended up giving me a full order but still gave me a hard time . So annoying ! They don't respect food allergies at all here and they are a restaurant!

Absolutely terrible customer service. We were sat down and then ignored completely. watched two other groups get sat and served, and not a look thrown our way. Now I have done take out many times and the food was fine but this the second time the the service was bad or nonexistent in this case. I was hoping the first time was a fluke, but it appears that it is the norm

Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed a very strong peculiar order. The restaurant smells like an old, dirty, molded wet rag. I guess they use this rag to clean the tables and never wash it. Just rinse it out. Yuck! I had ordered over $100 in food to go. The wait was long even though I ordered by phone and had a 7 minute drive. The cashier, Michael, was extremely rude. More so, that I considered asking to speak with management. First, he completely ignored me as I stood waiting for acknowledgment. When he did finally walk over, he snatched my form of payment. I was taken aback by his arrogance. He slammed the "to go" order down on the counter very hard in front of me. I then gave him a very stern look. I asked for soy sauce, to go. He said they had none in the restaurant. I then understood why there was only one other patron dining in the restaurant and that person didn't appear to be too pleased. I will never spend my coins at this restaurant again and I urge you to do the same. Food was lacking, very bland and I had gastrointestinal issues the following morning. Fair warning. Avoid this place at all costs! Nasty. And, more importantly, Michael is running away all of its good customers. Hope this review helps! Stay well. ZERO STARS!

Was the first for lunch here a few weeks ago. I must say, the spacious clean space is welcoming and food, service was top notch. I enjoyed the house fried rice and chicken wings. And an amuse bouche of hot and sour soup was a surprise and fine. Will definitely return.

Last 2 times we have dined here, first they forgot about our chow mein order until we reminded them, then today they burned the peppers and onions on our chicken wing order. I kindly ask if they can just re make the onions and peppers since the wings looked good. When they brought it out again, it looked like they just added a lot of onions that looked raw and the burned peppers were still there! Not to mention they got my beer order wrong as well, but those mistakes happen. I decided to just give 5% tip (I shouldn't have given any tip) and the cashier calls me on it on my way out! In front of other customers. Very unprofessional! I'm taking my business elsewhere.

We've been twice recently... first experience was a solid 4 stars and agreement at that time our new "fav chinese restaurant". Photos are from both visits 2 weeks later our next visit, food did not come out timely and overly salty. First visit we had egg rolls- big let down. Although big and stuffed full, it was nearly all cabbage and there was no flavor. Our entire party was disappointed. (Only reason first visit didn't get 5 stars) Chicken chow mein (both times) excellent!! Aside from ginormous portion, noodles fresh, well seasoned and NOT greasy!!! Normally chow mein for us is just something you have, but this is GREAT and a must have. Walnut prawns were really good, solid choice. Ordered first time only. Eggplant with fried tofu- this is one of our go to dishes. The first time really good- second time too salty and the eggplant was too runny inside). Broccoli Beef- we got both times. First time solid dish... second time the meat tastes weird, again salty but also the texture of the beef was unpleasant - picked thru it, broccoli great. As far as service- given the multiple dishes we don't mind food coming out slightly staggered. The second visit plates were coming out as if in courses. Part of yummy Chinese is the mixing of tastes and textures between bites. Waiting 10 mins for final dish was disappointing. Given the overly saltiness of most the meal... not sure it's worth the 30 min one way drive for a gamble on Chinese.

When all else fails in life, delicious Chinese food succeeds! And China Village definitely succeeds. Went here again for about the fifth or sixth time now... It has been consistently delicious, a lovely space, friendly and charming staff... probably one of the best Chinese restaurants (yes, a bit Americanized) I've been to.... At the very least, it's undoubtedly the best in Sonoma County! As with most Chinese restaurants, some dishes have more authentic roots than others, but ALL of it was super tasty. The broccoli beef and Mu Shu Pork (which the server very kindly prepared for us table-side) were both yum-o-liscious (inventing a new word again !-) and chock full of tender meat and veggies... And the sauces, from the tangy plum sauce to the gingery, garlicky umami-centric beef sauce really hit the spot. Case in point! (which is a phrase that really doesn't fit here, but I wanted to say it cuz it makes me feel like I'm in a courtroom, arguing on behalf of a virtuous defendant)... I didn't even know I liked Egg Foo Young (which is, of course one of the more Americanized dishes) until I had it here. The eggy pancake is sizzled to perfection with the edges caramelized to a slightly crisped up, lacey texture. The sauce is distinct from the beef sauce, which is noteworthy because sometimes you go to a restaurant and all the sauces blend, or wind up tasting the same. This is not the case at CV! And one thing that stands out is how perfectly the vegetables are cooked, on all the dishes, not just the Egg Foo Young... they're cooked thoroughly, but still a bit crunchy at the core, and the amounts are on the generous side, without gouging on the prices side. We also had the walnut prawns, which were basically like a dessert...noticably, the batter on the shrimp was super crunchy and textured, even when covered in the sauce, and the shrimp within had a very fresh and clean "shrimpy" flavor... I've found often with Walnut Prawns the shrimp flavor is lost amidst a sweet gluey sauce and overly thick batter... not the case here. The shrimp flavor is crisp and present while the batter is not overbearing and the sauce is thin, not gloppy. It's a finicky dish so getting it right, which they do at CV, is noteworthy. The four of us were definitely full at the end and left with enough food for a light lunch the next day. (FYI, one diner was under two, so she has a bit smaller tummy. It's a very cute tummy, but she definitely didn't pull her weight on the eating volume. I tried to push her, but she was being such a baby about it! Sigh.) Yet another great experience at China Village! Cheers, The Loving Critic

We are regulars who visit for lunch or dinner a few times a month. Went in for dinner this evening and ordered 4 items (appetizer, two entrees and order of rice.) Appetizer came out first by itself as expected and hot & tasty. Approximately 10 minutes later the first entree came out. 5 minutes later the second entree arrived. Another 5 minutes goes by, server stated "oh you still don't have your rice then disappears back to the kitchen. Another 10 minutes goes by, never got the rice and we are done eating. Tell the server, "cancel the rice". Server stated, it's almost ready. Responded "We are done eating, just need the check". Server apologized and didn't give us a hard time. We would have preferred to wait an extra 20 minutes to get our two entrees & rice together, not one item at a time over a twenty minute period . Kitchen needs to figure out how to prepare an order that way, not bringing things out like they did tonight. When leaving there were 6 people waiting for to-go orders. Hopefully this was just a one time situation.

This place is amazing and my family and I will definitely be coming back! Everything was so good and tasty! I love their spicy hot chili sauce! The prices are good and the service is fast and friendly! My favorite was the egg rolls! The restaurant is spacious and very clean! I highly recommend this place, they have some of the best Chinese food in town in my opinion!

My wife and I found China Village with the help of Yelp. They featured lunch specials that included choice of soup or egg rolls. My wife tried Eggplant and I had the Chicken and Broccoli. We both had our dish with chow mein noodles. The portions were nice a large. The only thing we both noticed is a large amount of grease. We had hot tea to complement our meal. The restaurant has a nice ambiance.

We ate here on 2/17/24 and really liked the food. The staff was friendly, the place is large and clean and had plenty of seating. We shared the full sized Mongolian Beef and the full sized chicken Chow Mein. Both were generous portions and we even had leftovers to take home. The Mongolian beef was delicious, very flavorful and tender with lots of onion and scallions. The Chicken chow mein had a good flavor, and the Jasmine tea complimented the meal well. We already decided to go back next week for more. And right in our own neighborhood is an extra bonus. See you next week, China Village! Delish!

Always satisfying and just what we expect. Our go-to items are the egg rolls and veggie chow mein. Vegetables are definitely fresh and not overdone which makes the quality better than other spots. We've only ordered take out and never dined in.

I ordered mushu vegetables and when I got home found out that it was mushu chicken instead. Since I'm a vegetarian, I couldn't eat it.

China Village serves authentic Cantonese food. They have a nice selection of items on their menu. We were seated immediately and served water. The host and wait staff are really friendly and attentive. The ambience is nice. It spacious and nicely decorated. This is our 'go to place' for Chinese food. P.S. Restrooms are super clean.

So decided to give this place another shot sadly their black bean fish is still the same it's still on the watery side it should be a thicker consistency to the sauce

I had the opportunity to check out China Village Restaurant midday on Sunday. The place was pretty empty, nice decor and attentive staff. The menu made sense and was easy to get through. I ordered the fried rice luncheon special with app and soup of the day. All in all I am surprised this place isn't busier, delicious food and a generous serving. I was full and took the rest home. Weill return here when I'm in the mood for a lot of Chinese food.

Sat down 5 minutes before 3:30 and it took the guy a minute to come back which is fine, however I asked for a lunch special and he told me it was too late. When I picked up my phone it was 3:30 on the dot. It just irritates me that he was late coming over and then tried to throw the book at me. Not about the money. It's the principal. Do better.

The food is excellent! but they'll always make you buy more. Even when you say no four or five times, they'll still make you order an entree. It's delicious, but don't try to get away with just the pot stickers and wontons, no on . Because you're gonna end up with at minimum a large soup Haha. it's always fun. Traditional Chinese waiter very loud and friendly. We love that guy. I laughed all the way home about the strong arming we received tryna get away with order only a couple appetizers. Hilarious
