I ordered online and to go. They automatically charged me a 15% tip (you cannot change it.) Plus a $1 convenience fee! I feel a tip is earned, not just given or in this case, taken. The food was pretty good tho , you did get a lot. Guess I'll call my order in if there is a next time read more

Yikes! Has the ownership changed? It used to be kind of a decent place. But now, it's probably the worst Chinese food I've ever had. I say that at somebody who eats Chinese food all the time and whose family has been in the business. The beef chow fun had zero "wok hei". Wok hei is when the noodles are a bit charred and you can taste the heat of the wok. These chow fun noodles had no char at all. In fact the uncooked soy sauce was pooled at the bottom of the serving dish. The beef had zero char either. The chicken with salted fish fried rice was way over-salted. Salted fish by its nature is already salty. You don't need to add a ton of soy sauce and salt. To make matters worse the rice was undercooked and hard. The bok choy with garlic was just awful. You're supposed to use baby bok choy. What they used was chopped up pieces of giant old stalks of bok choy. It was clear that they just boiled the pieces and then barely stir fired them. The result was the bok choy was tough and flavorless. One of our party had chow mein as part of the daily special. The noodles were basically mushy with zero wok hei and no taste. Detective a pattern here? We had a couple of other dishes and they were equally bad. Needless to say, this is one restaurant I'm going to avoid in the future. read more

We have been going to China Villa for the last 17 years and it never disappoints. It's the neighborhood go to spot! Food is delicious and they know me by name when I do my call in and what I'm going to order! read more

One of the best hidden Chinese food restaurant in Rocklin, Ca. Service is great, sit anywhere and a server will get to you immediately. The ambiance is typical Chinese restaurant, while the food is generic like general chicken, chow mien noodles, and fried rice. The host and servers are super attentive, I had the best experience.

I've been a loyal customer of China Villa for 10 years. Not sure why it took me so long to write a review. Anyway, the food here is awesome! We love their lunch specials and family dinners. They have huge portions, so most of the time we have leftovers - which we eat for lunch or dinner the next day. The ambience is typical family friendly Chinese restaurant. The aunties here are so nice and the food always comes out hot and service is fast. We also never ran out of water, which my husband really loves and I believe is a sign of great service, read more

Excellent fresh food. The restaurant is simply decorated but extremely clean. Service is quick and the food is delivered hot and delicious.

I love this place for Chinese food! It my favorite. All the dishes are fresh and made to order. They are also not greasy unlike what you find in fast food Chinese. Their family dinners are an excellent way to try many different dishes and all options are delicious. Their family dinners wait staff is kind and helpful. The restaurant is small but has a good layout. There is plenty of space to move about the restaurant. They also have a small room for a larger party if needed. I've gone with my family and we needed space for 13 and they were able to accommodate. Next time I'll go I'll be sure to take photos and update this review--I'm usually so excited I forget to snap pictures. read more

I have a gluten allergy and asked if Mongolian beef could be made gluten free. The server told me that the ONLY thing in their restaurant I could eat was chicken and vegetables. The menu is long with many options but not if you have a gluten allergy. Very disappointed. Wont be back. read more

We have been going here for years, in fact, we had our Wedding dinner here with 12 people present--and everyone left fully satisfied and happy. Everyone we've introduced to China Villa agrees (1) they think the food is superb--always (2) the portions are so generous (3) the price is very affordable (4) it's the best Chinese food (5) they will be back--repeatedly! Our BIL and SIL moved to Washington state, and they crave China Villa food whenever they visit us because there's nothing like it where they are--and they keep trying to find a match! read more

Had an amazing dinner at China Villa. Great selection of dishes boasting with flavor. Service was fast and our water cups were never empty. Do yourself a favor and support this small, family owned business! read more

Best Chinese food! Comes out super fast and the prices and portions are great. Lunch specials are a really good deal. read more

Large portions and delicious fresh food! Attentive staff. 100% recommend! Amazing and will be returning!

The manager, in a very unprofessional way, forced our party to purchase a take home side order we canceled. "The server didn't tell the cook in time, so you need to take that side order". How stupid of a statement from an owner or manager. The food was average at best. Won't be back read more

Got the Mongolian beef, chow mein, eggrolls and oyster beef. Food is very greasy. Food has same flavor and tasted like doo doo Not real beef or chicken tasted like cultivated/lab-grown meat. Sauce I. Container spilled inside of bag making a mess. Lunch specials are roughly $16-$17 not worth the money. In the past, these guys have added tips to my check after I signed for payment. read more

Was told by family member about this place. Amazing food. Def will be our new spot. (Heart) read more

Have not been in here in years. My family just came back from my mothers funeral and wanted something nearby. We usually go to South Sac for real Chinese dinner. There were 14 of us. I called ahead to see if they had room and she said that we had to be split in 2 tables. They did not have one large enough. They definitely cater to the Americanized version. We had to ask for chopsticks. Forks were on the table. The whole chicken did not include the head or feet nor did they serve any feet for that matter. Did not order whole fish because I didn't see it. The aquarium was just that. No fresh fish. Food was overall good. Only item I didn't care for was the pot stickers. There was something in it that didn't taste good but that was just me i think. Portions were fair to the price. Peking ribs had a lot of bone, little meat. Service was good. There are lunch specials for less than $20. I would come back again. read more

Very nice clean restaurant. Great staff. Best cashew chicken I've had. Great hot and sour soup. All the entrees I've had there is good. Downside is the entrees all swim in way to much of it juices or sauce and the chow mein is very greasy read more

It's not China Town in San Francisco, but the food is very tasty. Their Mapo Tofu is my go to and it is really good. The Beijing beef is tasty. I was disappointed with the shrimp with lobster sauce. Won Ton Min has a nice broth and really tasty won tons. read more

While visiting family, we had a craving for good Chinese food and ordered takeout from China Villa. Our food was ready when we arrived and plenty hot when we got back to the house. We had Hong Kong style chicken chow mein, string bean chicken, cashew chicken and fried won ton. All food was good and more than enough to feed 3 of us. When in the area, I'd definitely go back. read more

I am not sure why I've never left a review as I've loved this place for more than 10 years!! They're constantly delicious. Maybe a bit greaser than I'd prefer, but still very consistent and good. My favorite dish is the hunan chicken and I add broccoli. Perfect combo of spicy chicken and veggies with a light sauce. read more

The portions are huge and the pricing is really good. I also enjoyed the service. The food came out really quick as well. Only thing I would say is that the chow mein needed a little more flavor and I would've given it five stars. read more

Ive been going here for at least 20 years, same staff for the most part. Always friendly. Food wasnt the best This time. Perhaps just an off day. Love all there soups which was spot on. They can use some updating on decore and carpet and booths. But still my favorite Chinese restaurant read more

Absolutely the best quality and service. The service is attentive and the kitchen is fast. Our favorite special request was broccoli onions and garlic, in a brown sauce. Omg! Perfect! Bring the family. We left with leftovers for another meal. Thank you China Villa for the quality and value. read more

China Villa's food, portions, and quick service have made me a fan. I ordered the lunch special on Sunday, which came with chow mein, fried rice or steamed rice, and an egg roll. I got the sesame chicken, and the portion was huge, enough for two people. Our table shared an order of egg rolls that were light, crispy, and airy. Overall it was a well-rounded experience. I recommend this place for sure. read more

Service was warm and friendly but our food was just not prepared well. Our lunch group ordered a variety of items and were served relatively quickly. One of our party had to wait quite a while for her food unfortunately. Orange chicken was dry and overcooked. Lemon chicken was over battered and under cooked! While the portions were generous, the poor preparation in so many of our orders meant that most of it was left on the plate. No boxes to go, thank you. read more

Holy crap! This is the best Chinese I have had in this area. The General chicken was actually hot enough for my husband and so much food. This will feed us for 3 meals. Really really good. Highly recommend read more

Food was good not the best Chinese I have ever had. Reminds me of when I was kid going to generic Chinese food restaurants. I don't think I would recommend it but I might eat here again. The staff was quick and polite. read more

Great service and food and they went over the menu with me. I order to take out as well as dine in.

So, much better than last time. The meats on the dishes we ordered were superb. Sweet & Sour pork and General chicken, hot and absolutely delicious. What knocks this down from 5 stars is that everything else on the plate was just above room temperature. Chow Mein, rice were both tepid at best. The egg roll was downright cold. We didn't send back because they were busy and didn't want to bother them. Besides, the temp may not have been there, but the taste was fantastic. So much food. We left there with enough for the next night's dinner and at only $40.00 including tip! You can barely get 2 sandwiches at that price anywhere. I wish I could give 4 and a half stars. read more

Came here to visit my brother and this is their go-to Chinese restaurant. Food: very good food! We ordered a lot as you can see in the picture. My favorite is the bok choy/mushroom dish. Very simple but I love a good vegetable dish. We ordered the happy family dish--we tried this dish when we were in Boston and I have to say it's slightly different taste--Boston style was better but this was good as well. The black bean and fish was also tasty. I also loved the salt and pepper pork. Service: we ordered over the phone and the lady helping us was very nice. Our food wasn't quite ready but the gentleman who brought it out was very nice and accommodating. He even offered to help us bring everything out. Ambiance: walking inside felt like a very authentic Chinese restaurant. I would definitely come back here! I gave a minus 1 star because I can't give a half star--our fortune cookie was very very very stale, the only disappointing thing about it. Other than that, I do recommend this place for a go-to Chinese restaurant. read more

LOVE China villa! Always great food and QUICK service. We order take out atleast twice a month and have never been disappointed.

Great food, wonderful service. My cashew chicken was as good as ever, though my gf didn't have the same nostalgic feeling about her Mongolian beef. The place has been here for ages, and the carpet could use some love, but the rest of the dining room is kept up well. Been coming here for 15+ years, no reason to stop now. read more

These people steal your money. I signed the receipt that claims it was only charging my card $20. Checked my statement and my card was charged $24. Doesn't matter if it was charged an extra $1, you can't add a tip without the customers knowledge. That is theft. Will not return and will let others know you guys do that. read more
