We came here because of the vegan section of the menu, which we definitely appreciate…read more I ordered the vegan spicy lemongrass pho ($16.75) and vegan tofu lemongrass saute ($16). Both supposedly come with veggies, but the veggie portions were pathetic: a few slices of carrot, 2-3 pieces of snap peas in the soup; onions in the lemongrass tofu, plus a few pieces of raw cabbage, carrot and daikon on the side with the rice). The main portions were only moderate. The pho had a few pieces of each of the vegan beef and tofu, a moderate vermicelli portions, and admittedly a nice salty broth. Not the worst we've had, and I guess I shouldn't complain about vegan options in a town like this, but this was a pretty lacklustre meal given the portions and lack of veggies. Hard to recommend it for that reason.

They tasted nothing like regular soy sauce: they weren't salty and had a strange flavor that reminded me of iodine. It honestly took away from the meal. Please do yourself a favor and switch to Kikkoman soy sauce. Trying to save money on something as important as soy sauce really hurts the overall experience. Good sushi deserves good soy sauce.

Since I have been here I haven't really found any food that is comparable to the good food that I was so used to for 30 years.

The price is right the service is fast and very friendly and I have to say the people that run the place are great conversationalists. I will go back again and again. Wonderful place

Has a lot of depth in flavor and richness. The meat of the pho is fresh and very tender. Great meatballs and I definitely recommend getting extra meat with your pho. Con: the spring rolls was fresh, but I felt like it was a little too bare in ingredients as the herbs overpowered the proteins. Could maybe add more vermicelli. The pork in the spring roll was a little too dry and thin and would be better if they replaced it with freshly grilled pork. Overall great takeout place for some fresh pho soup and noodles!

The women have been indifferent and will work with their register notes and receipts while ignoring you're a customer. I've witnessed employees greet people out of order or laughing at their phones and watching videos while customers enter the building the buildings, and young what seems like daughters or family friends that seemingly are not disciplined nor have any fear of being fired with low energy and low customer service skills, raising certain concern about professionalism and workplace cultural discipline. The males seem very professional and take the job serious which makes for an odd contrast. I've never seen a much lower overall Asian restaurant set of attitudes. I'd argue only sushi hana has employees that are as un professional. "yes" "name" "okay" "$" "okay" read more

Our family gets take-out from China Village at least once a month. We find the food the best among the local Chinese restaurants. The owner is very nice and has never messed up our order. It's always perfect and my only complaint is that they always claim 25 minutes until your order will be ready yet it takes up to 45 minutes sometimes. read more

I came in last week and ordered General Tso's Chicken, Beef Broccoli, and Lo Mein. Since they changed owners, the food quality has become better than before.

I got the large size and it turned out to be so large I took about a third home for the next day. It wasn't as syrupy sweet as you tend to find in food courts but a nice reasonable flavor with some sweet brown sauce. The person who we interacted with was nice, offering us disposable plates and silverware. Located in a shopping plaza at the NE corner of Manatee Ave W and 75th St W, it was easy to find and easy to park.
