  • I am giving 3 Stars solely because the "waiter with the bow tie" helped us get through the ordeal of a meal at China Village. I regret to say that fellow Yelpers misled me into thinking I was going to get a good meal here. Made hubby travel quite a distance to try this well reviewed restaurant. Here's the scoop: They charge 1.50 for the noodles that every other restaurant routinely puts on the table. They charge 1.50 for brown rice per person. Ordered the PHO (a vietnamese soup) which is on the menu although it is a chinese restaurant. The soup which consisted of noodles, chicken and broth was accompanied by very, very fresh basil, cilantro, jalapeños, bean sprouts and lime. Ample and fresh. The soup broth, although it was chicken PHO, had a fishy backdrop taste. Can't explain it but it was there. Hubby gave it a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. Ordered the Walnut shrimp which was fried so much so that the batter had totally adhered to the shrimp. The crust outside the shrimp was much too thick. The sauce was nothing more than mayonnaise. The General Chicken which we had asked for extra spicy was not spicy at all. When we told the waiter about it, he brought over some "spicy oil" to add to the dish to make it spicy. Who wants to add oil to your food to make it spicy? Why not add chilies to the food while it is being sautéed as other restaurants do? When the orders came out, the server only brought out one brown rice and that we should share it until we get another one later. The order of brown rice was small enough to fit in the palm of my small hand and the rice was as hard as a rock. My culinary savvy told me that the rice had been overly microwaved and that's why it harden so much so that it was inedible. Don't restaurants keep rice in rice cookers to keep it warm??? We showed the waiter to which he said he would bring another rice, but by then we had already finished eating. I also told him that I hoped that he wasn't charging us for that rice. He said he would go back and modify the bill. I was stupefied that the reduction was not done immediately considering that I showed him that the rice could bounce off a wall. The straws I requested at the beginning of our meal never arrived and napkins were in short supply All in all the meal was second rate and I apologize to my hubby for sending him on a wild goose chase 15 miles away from our home thinking we were going to have a lovely Saturday night meal. And by the way... this is no East Coast type restaurant... FAR from it!
