This place is a classic Chinese restaurant that caters mainly to non-Chinese people. In fact a quick survey of the dining room as I sit in the foyer waiting for my take out order reveals only one Asian person out of about 25 and he looks more Mongolian than Chinese.
The food here is good. I have eaten here a few times and have always been pleased. The place is really old and kinda worn out inside, which I think is part of the charm. They offer a fairly varied menu but when you choose to eat at a place like this it's for the standard fare: fried rice, noodles, chow mien, wanton soup, egg rolls etc. China Village serves it up hot and tasty! One of the other things I love about this place is that all the front of house staff are older Chinese ladies who seem to do as much vibrant chatting in their native language as they do speaking to the clientele. They are fast, efficient and friendly and if you order a large soup they will dish it out for you and your guests. Really good service.
I wouldn't want to look too closely in the nooks and crannies of this place as it needed remodeling about 20 years ago, but as I erstwhile stated, for myself the grungesqueness is part of the appeal somehow but you'd not catch me eating errant rice grains off the table.
Eat in or take out I have always enjoyed their food and am a repeat customer!
China Village: it's about the food not the decor. Though the place is lit up outside like a Christmas festival! Enjoy!
