Inside and out of China Wok have seen better days, but honestly this is the "seasoning" of a local spot like this that makes it better than a fancier spot. So, give me a little wear and tear with my lo mein! We have done take out, but normally do delivery. Our go-to's here, and at most Chinese places, are sesame chicken with fried rice, house lo mein and wonton soup. The food is always hot, fresh and tasty...as expected honestly. Pricing is standard for Chinese take out, however things get pricey with online orders and delivery, so be prepared to pay for the convenience. Service is always efficient and to the point, which is perfectly fine as they want to keep things moving and I want to eat! Overall, love having China Wok in the area. Always a solid option when the craving hits.

I decided to indulge and get orange chicken - my fave even though I'm trying to eat less friend food. It was so good! There was a nice bright citrus flavor. The chicken was perfectly cooked - still a little crispy even with the sauce. It was such a great portion size so it was easily 2 meals for me. Definitely plan to stop by and try some other options - especially since they have dim sum!

The lunch specials are an incredible value--you get to choose a soup, salad, or spring roll as an appetizer in addition to your meal. I chose the egg drop soup, and I can honestly say it was the BEST egg drop soup I have ever had. It was flavorful, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit, making the experience even better. The ambiance inside is warm, clean, and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal whether you're dining alone or with family and friends. If you're in the Hendersonville area, do yourself a favor and check out China Cottage. Great food, generous portions, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

From the lights, to the furniture, prices and of course the picture board menu above the counter. Everything about China Village screamed old school and also "this about to be good"! Sitting in a small, worn out shopping plaza just off of Highway 41/Dickerson, China Village is a solid spot for cheap, plentiful and tasty Chinese takeout. It is not much to look at and if you can get past the bars on the windows, you are in store for a treat. Delivery is not offered currently and you can technically eat in, but while there are tables there, it is not really set up for a good dine-in experience. I rang them up on a Friday evening to order (2) Sesame Chicken plates and (1) Large Wonton Soup. From order to arrival was about 20 minutes, and it was hot and ready! Overall, we are new to this side of town and while the whole "no delivery" thing is a bummer, China Village is definitely our go-to spot for a cheap and tasty Chinese night in.

The one star has nothing to do with the fact that I had to make my gun accessible in my car, because of the hood rats walking around. This soup should be illegal.

That's so rare for everything in a menu to hit?! Some other entrees I have tried are loved are the sweet and sour chicken, beef yaki udon, Thai basil fried rice, pad Thai noodles, and the Singapore beef mei fun noodles. The appetizers all are incredible too some of my favorites are the crab Rangoon's, coconut shrimp, scallion pancakes, and the shrimp shu mai. The Thai iced tea is a must here!

Traveling through this area and was seeing nothing but fast food places. This seemed like a good and healthier alternative. I ordered the Beef & Broccoli dinner which was served with an egg roll and chicken fried rice. My entree was very good with the broccoli crisp tender and bright green. The beef and carrots where sliced thin and were tender. The egg roll and fried rice were average. Portions large. Was disappointed their only beverages are in a cooler, so expect to pay for a bottle of water. It's a cold day and I would have liked some hot tea. If I lived in Madison, I would eat here again. read more

Food is never prepared how I like it. I had to take order back three times in the past few month. The food is Isometimes under cook even though you say "well done" OR it's burnt almost. I noticed there is s Huge disconnect and launguage barrier with kitchen workers NOT understanding actual orders. I recommend China Wok down the street where the food is prepared as you ordered, fresh and flavorful. I try to support small business but I tried this location three times. read more

I lived in Madison for over 15 years, and they have the best food in Madison if not they wont be there even now! The price is very reasonable that is why they don't have fancy customer service. What kinda customer service you expect for a meal consists of one entree, with fried rice and a free egg roll for $4.85!!?? try PF Chang if you want service and pay 20.00 for what you pay only 9.00 in China Bell! read more

The food tasted good but they cut the meat in such big chunks I could barely eat it....plus the "man" at the counter was a vicious, snotty little jerk who threatened me first with violence, then to "put a curse on me". I'm a black belt, but I don't want to spend half the night talking to the cops either. I have to get up for work in the morning. Your dollars are better spent elsewhere. read more

China Spring doesn't look like much, until you walk inside; then it still doesn't look like much, but with a large fish tank. Appearances can be deceiving though; for all that this restaurant looks as though it probably slaughters its own chickens in the back, the food is DELICIOUS. The steamed wontons are some of the best I have ever had, and I have never had a bad experience with their sweet and sour chicken. Prices are fantastic; if I can get two meals worth of food for $7.50, why ever cook for myself again? The food is so cheap that it almost concerns me: What are they actually putting in this stuff, other than essence of pure delicious?
