This establishment is cheap!!! And will scam you on orders to go…if you desire to get your money worth on the foods paid for seek another establishment.soup was cold and this dish string beans and shrimp was only enough for a child to eat.This good to know I will not give this misconception another opportunity to rip me off again.due to Covid being on the rise again no establishment should be patronage…

My Mainland Chinese American friends who have eaten at many upscale restaurants in the US and abroad said this is the best authentic Mainland Chinese in the Bay Area.

Very inconsistent quality. I went for dinner for the first time and the Spicy Szechuan Boiled Fish Fillet was delicious. The second time, I went for lunch and the same dish was disappointing--the sauce was too thick and lacking in flavor.

Food was right below average to me. Pretty pricy. Service sucked. Really loud. Beautiful inside. Rundown or old looking for outside. Host was friendly. No one else smiled or had etiquette or courtesy. Server forgot beer, no apologies. Servers & busers all seemed unhappy. I've only been here twice. I honestly don't really like the crab either since I'm comparing it to other places. When it's slow you'll probably get better service, that's what happened the first time. Oh, another plus was we were in & out of there's pretty fast. You really don't want to stay longer unless you like frantic, loud crowds of people that are all over the place. I wouldn't plan on coming here again.

This Szechuan Cuisine and Dimsum restaurant is comfortable and packed with both local and Chinese people. The servers are Chinese and they are so friendly.
The food portion here is huge, so that it really suits for sharing among 5 - 6 persons. If you come with family or in a large group, you could order several dishes to be shared together. Since I only came with a friend here, we only ordered two dishes, and GUESS WHAT.. We cannot finish it all and ended up in takeaway.
Here are what we tried :
水煮鱼片 / shui zhu yu pian / Spicy Szechuan Boiled Fish Fillet (USD 15.95)
The soft fish on the plentiful of mala seasoning, dried chili peppers, chili powder, oil, garlic, and spring onions.
泡椒鸡块 / pao jiao ji kuai / Szechuan Pickled Pepper with Diced Chicken Breast (USD 13.95)
The fried diced chicken breast with a lot of Sichuan peppercorns, oil, sliced dried chili, and spring onions. Be careful with the Sichuan peppercorns. They are small and could "hide" among the other. They are the source of spicy taste.
And do not forget to eat the dishes with the rice, too. I chose the brown rice for this lunch.

The very best! I crave their pork shoulder, And eat here at least once a month. Bernie Sanders also ate here on his East Bay campaign swing. It’s all so good and authentic! Garlic eggplant and walnut prawns my favs.

Tough times for restaurants. Got our takeout home and we discovered our pescatarian's walnut prawns lunch was actually chicken. Since our person hasn't eaten white or red meat for over 4 decades and can't digest it, this is a significant failure. We tried phoning them four times and the person answering kept saying 'Hello" but couldn't seen to hear us. Despite it being a work day, nothing to do but drive back over for them to remake the 2nd lunch. While waiting, kept hearing the phone ring and the person saying 'hello, hello" and then hanging up. And having the front door bang badly as the only side that would open was the one that said "Do not use this side." Tasty once we got the 2nd meal home - but by then the other meal was cold. They sent us home with complimentary spring rolls for our trouble. Very bad day for China Village, which made for a not great day for us. Hope things improve for them as they're usually quite good. Maybe check your take out before you leave for a while. And let's all keep our fingers crossed our favorite restaurants survive this time.
