Tried this place yesterday afternoon. My friend has been craving Chinese for a while so we thought we'd give this a try. He ordered crab rangoon to start and we also ordered the specials, which came with either won ton soup or egg drop. He ordered the won ton soup and I ordered the egg drop, both were very good as was the crab rangoon. For our main course he ordered sweet and sour chicken with white rice and I ordered satay chicken with fried ricw. His portion of the sweet and sour chicken was very small. I assumed satay meant my chicken would be on skewers...as that's what satay means. However, what I received was chicken that was in a very spicy brown sauce with onion chunks, pineapple, and green onion. Although it was very tasty, it was not listed on the menu as a spicy item, of which I was dissapointed by. The fried rice was just rice with soy sauce, no vegetables or anything. For $28 I don't think it was worth it. The food tasted very good, but the portions didn't match the price. My friend liked it though.

It's been awhile since I've been here, probably about a year. I thought I would give it another chance. I was ordering carry out. I asked for fried rice with my meal instead of white. The response was "no substitutions, it comes with white. You can put in another order for fried rice" I passed on it, thought white rice is "healthier" for me anyways. When i picked my order up, the food was done and bagged. The staff was there to ring me up. I asked if I could get some chopsticks with my carry out meal. The response "chopsticks extra". Since I already paid, I passed on this too. Drove the quick ride home, food was still hot. The flavor was kinda bland, sad since I was really looking forward to chinese food. The vegetables in the meal were fresh, and that was the best part of the meal. The sauce with water thin, and not very flavorful.

My children play soccer at Ultimate Soccer across the street from China Village and we love to stop in to China Village for a bite to eat after their games. We especially enjoy the almond chicken as well as the chicken fried rice. The egg rolls are delicious as well!

Yeah it was A-OK. It's better than the other place on Woodward & Square Lake road. I ordered the General Tao's chicken extra spicy, I have begun ordering Chinese food extra spicy when the dish calls for it because I have learned that those red pepper illustrations printed on the menu to warn you have lost all meaning, they probably got sick of hearing complaints from morons that don't know how to read, so have stopped using any "heat". The chicken was good, I really liked the sauce, see what a couple well placed dried chili's can do? My only complaint was that the chicken chunks were huge, some people might prefer that, but I have grown to enjoy smaller crispy pieces over huge chunks, and where's the broccoli garnish? Geez, am I the only one that actually eats that? haha also give me some hot mustard for my egg roll next time. I'll be back

Nickel and dime type of place. Been going here a few times and always asked for chili paste along with my takeout. Last time the lady wants to charge $$ me for it. I said I've been a faithful customer and have never been charged. I said this would be my last $30 takeout if they treat customers this way. She said "thank you and goodbye".

We have eaten at China Village several times over the past few years and have yet to have a bad experiance. The staff is very helpful and the food is excellent and very reasonably priced. We have had the almond chicken as well as the garlic chicken and both are very good. The General Tso is very good as well.

Excellent food. Excellent service. A little undiscovered gem of a Chinese restaurant in this part of the Township. Great shrimp dish.

It was a day like so many others. But the difference was that I was free to have lunch by myself and try some place new. What to have?, I thought. So I got in my car and looked at the GPS display. I decided to leave it to chance. I punched in restaurants and then selected Chinese as the category. I looked and the first one that came up on the display was only 0.4 miles away. So I proceeded to the destination not knowing what to expect. Normally I would check the place on Yelp. But today, I decided to just take a chance. China Village was the choice of my GPS. Maybe I should have known better. I waled in the door and checked the surroundings. Observation # 1: The place is almost empty. Not a good sign. Observation # 2: All the tables had singles. No couples or groups. Also discouraging. Observation # 3: Not a Chinese person in sight except for the wait staff. Uh-oh. Then I was brought a menu. Oh no, Tourist crap. What they call Gwei Lo Yuck in Hong Kong. This translates to Foreigner's Meat. These are dishes created by and for non-Chinese to suit western tastes. Things like Sweet and Sour Pork are classic Gwei Lo Yuck. So I decided to try to find something edible. I ordered a combination plate and traded off between Szechwan Beef and Hunan Beef. I am not sure what the difference is, so I tossed a mental coin. Hunan Beef it was. The only other choice was what kind of soup I wanted. The waitress offered; "Won-ton or egg drop?" So I went with the Won-ton. "What to drink?", she said. Just tea, I said and out came the Lipton. First she brought our the soup. It had decent chicken broth once I added some salt and pepper. The Won-ton was made of a chewy noodle, unfilled and once folded. No vegetables, no meat and the only thing that saved it was the nicely greasy hard noodles. Then out came a thin dry warm egg roll. I asked for La Yu which translates to hot oil. There was some sickening sweet sauce on the table, but I decided to disguise the egg roll by dunking it in the chili oil and although it caused over-burn, it made the generic egg roll edible. Then out came the Hunan Beef. I suspect that if I had ordered the Szechwan Beef, it might have looked exactly the same. This was generic vegetables stir fried with thin slices of marinated beef coated in corn starch. So I added gobs of La Yu and ate it. It served as fuel anyway. Now the fried rice they served; chicken fried rice at that, wasn't bad at all. In fact, it was the best part of the meal. I noticed the waitress watching me as I maneuvered through the meal. "You know how to use chopsticks", she said. "It would be easier with a rice bowl, huh?" I conceded that a rice bowl would have been better. "You been China? Hong Kong?" she asked. Yes, I said. Then she threw out a few words in Cantonese. Now it is unusual for a Gwei Lo to know any Cantonese. But I have spent too much time in Hong Kong, Guang Zao and other southern Chinese cities and I have made a whole lot of trips to Hong Kong. So I answered her in Cantonese. I scored points. She said "You speak Mandarin too?" Very little I admitted. She said "Me too, I am from Hong Kong." I asked her if she was from the Hong Kong side or the Kowloon side. She said "Kowloon." Near Tsim Sha Tsui or NT?, I asked. She said near NT. And so it went. I Had a pretty lousy meal, but I did get to practice a little Cantonese. I got the bill, paid and got up to leave. Mm Goi I said as I left. That was a thank you for service in Cantonese. She responded with a polite Do Che. I hit the parking lot and went back to the office.

Nice clean place, with reliably average food that can be counted on to be about what you expected. Szechuan dishes are quite mild - nothing has made me reach for the ice water yet. They recently added some Thai dishes, but the pad thai was not the typical flavor combination. I will stick to the Chinese fare from now on. My daughter always gets the Sesame chicken and loves it.

Love this place. Since I moved I've been looking for a good Chinese place. Let me tell you it's hard. I've fallen in love with their General Tso. But only 4 stars because their fried rice isn't great.

A pretty good place overall. I wasn't expecting much from this place judging by the name and location, but the interior was surprisingly half decent and the service was pretty good too. The menu has a good variety of things to choose from, all at reasonable prices. The food was prepared once it was ordered unlike some other chinese restaurants which have the food pre-made and just sitting there waiting to be purchased. The quality was better than most other chinese restaurants and the portion of food I got was very generous, it lasted me two meals and it was under $10!

Friend of D.
We moved on from Chinese food to Thai and Vietnamese food years ago, so it has been ages since I have eaten classic Chinese food (i.e. the kind Americans are used to). I found the food and service here to be quite good. They used good, fresh ingredients and everything was piping hot. And they menu was the usual 6+ pages of every conceivable Chinese dish.

I have been coming here for quite awhile. I order both at home and with the other nurses at work. Each time the service gets worse and more expensive. I had to order 20.00 or more in food for it to be delivered plus got charged a delivery fee. I had forgotten to ask for hot mustard for a co- worker, when I called back.. They wanted to charge me 50 cents per package. Needless to say- they just lost a loyal group of customers that also tipped out their drivers very well.

Considering there is not many options out here it was ok. Staff were Sweet asian lady were very friendly. Sometimes your heart goes out to small businesses this would be one of them. Could use new decor. I ordered Hunan chicken and my boyfriend got sesame chicken ok. Not memorable. The fried rice was good.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
