    I recently tried China Village with a buddy. He said it was on one of the Michelin guides so I figured I'd give it a go! We ordered several dishes including the green beans, beef in chili oil, Dan Dan noodles in sesame, and pork shank. The green beans were excellent. Soft and well seasoned with the perfect kick. The pork shank in sauce was also awesome with a generous portion and tasty sauce. IMO the star of the show was the beef in chili oil. There was a super large portion that also contained some cabbage and veg. I will say say that the Dan Dan noodles were pretty underwhelming so that takes them down a notch, but otherwise the food was excellent. The vibe inside was solid. Clearly a family joint that draws in a lot of locals. The servers were nice and offered some recommendations for us. I will definitely come back for more of that beef and green beans!

    China Village is my favorite szechuan food in the bay and I tried so many szechuan restaurants already as szechuan food is one of my favorite food ! I'm not sure why the review is kinda low, so I need to support my fav restaurant!! The food is delicious and consistent. I've been coming here since 2015. Everyone who I took here, loves the food The must try is 1000 Chili Chicken and Spicy Boiled Fish Fillet , sooo goodddd! But all their other food is good too. Staff is friendly and nice. Restaurant is pretty big and good for big parties. Give this restaurant a try!

    Lori, Terry and I met here for lunch today. It was Lori's choice. It's been a blustery day and I appreciated the help of the young man inside who assisted me w/ the door. He turned out to be our server. It has been several years since I've been here and it looks elegant and lovely inside, a major departure from the scruffy look it had a decade or so ago. Lori was already seated when I arrived. She had a pot of tea, which was most welcome. Terry joined us later, having been delayed by traffic on the freeway. I had my heart set on a dish Lori had raved about, pan fried noodles w/ barbecued pork and was crestfallen when our server told me they didn't have the noodles. Lori had also praised their house made noodles, so I ordered those w/ the pork. Lori ordered the same dish and Terry ordered a chicken curry. My dish was delicious and just the right amount to leave me comfortably full w/o being stuffed. The chair was comfortable and the bathroom was attractive and functional, w/ a lovely vertical line of colorful narrow glass tiles accenting the wall. Service was friendly and helpful. Lori requested a separate check because she was ordering extra for takeout to bring home. Our server brought separate checks for Terry and me too. When leaving, the wind made opening the door difficult. Lori and I pushed it together and it took all our strength to get it open. Fortunately we were both parked close and the rain had stopped, so it wasn't all that bad.
