A little funky with the service. Waitress was a bit cold. Food was plentiful but basic. I don't think the meat is made up there. Was like buffet food from overseas. When it got cold it was very chewy.But veggies are fresh.Price was good. But no alcohol even though it is on the menu?
I tried this place because it had the best reviews for Chinese food near me. 110% would never go back. As soon as we walked in there was a lady sitting at a table eating, a kid in her pajama sweats taking an order at a table for someone else and a cook who looked right at us and said nothing. The lady sitting at the table looked at us a couple times before she came to help us and had an attitude the whole time. The pricing itself was disappointing. $10.99 for JUST orange chicken. I can go to any other Chinese place and they offer fried rice and chow mein with your entrees for $12. I said screw it and ordered the orange chicken anyways and my fiance orders a combination plate (they had only pork combo plates not chicken). We get our food and my orange chicken ended up being chicken with the orange sauce on the side for me to pour myself. The orange sauce was dark brown and super watery it was just a mess and for them to put it in a paper container just ended up more of a mess when it started leaking through the seems. My fiance opens his plate and they gave him a very small portion of sweet and sour pork (about 4-5 small shrived up prices of pork) and a pile of sweet and sour sauce.. and the rest of the plate was dominated with rice and chow mein. They also didn't have forks so we had to drive up the street and grab forks from KFC. Between the ladies attitude and the disappointment in the food we definitely won't be coming back
Food was good, however they charged my card multiple times with different unauthorized amounts. Called the next day to rectify this with them and was hung up on multiple times. Had to just call the bank and have charges reversed. Sad because the food was good for what it was.Principle alone, I will not go back.
After all these years we just discovered this place and they have the most yummiest sauces and food and very friendly sweet service!!!Thank you!!!
The food tastes fine except it’s a bit too greasy and savory. Good value for the money. The food tastes better than Panda but not as good as the authentic Chinese food from Silicon Valley.
The food was okay. Nothing great that made us want to go back but it wasn't the worst we've had from town.

My family has been going to Chinese Village for over 30 years. Started with my Mom and now 3 generations later we all continue to go there. Both in their original location and the current one. I take my grandkids there all the time. It is our “go to” Chinese food place. Love their hot and sour soup! I can’t say I’ve had a bad thing there, all is good. Most of the dishes they make I have not found to be as good anywhere else. It is family owned and operated. I really like that and they are so welcoming and friendly that you feel that they are your friends serving you good, good for you medicinally too, food. I recommend them highly.
The service has gone down unfortunately. Great food still but service not like the old days.
Sally is the greatest. Salt and pepper chicken wings are not be missed
