At one point in our visit all four well-spaced tables were occupied, so dining in is not an unusual activity. We figured out what we wanted for our late lunch and ordered at the counter, in my case their Bourbon Chicken. 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.

THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY! CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!…read more 8/20/2026 was my first and last visit to Nam Fong. The experience started off poorly. Before I even paid, the woman at the counter asked if I wanted a receipt, which I found unusual. I said yes, but after charging my card $54.64 (plus the tip I added, bringing the total to $60), she never gave me one. While waiting for my takeout order, I started thinking the total seemed unusually high. I grabbed a menu and added up my order myself, only to realize I had been overcharged. When she brought my food out, I asked if the receipt was in the bag. She said yes and essentially rushed me out the door. When I got to my car, there was no receipt in the bag, so I went back inside and asked for an itemized receipt. I explained that I had been overcharged. She then said she had accidentally charged me twice for a beef and broccoli plate. I only received one beef and broccoli in my order. She offered to give me the difference in cash, but when I asked what my card would ultimately be charged, she became confused again and wouldn't give me a straight answer. She continued trying to rush me out, which made the situation even more frustrating. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable leaving the tip I had originally written on the receipt. I had to take the store copy and cross out the tip before finally leaving. Unfortunately, the food itself was also disappointing. Overall, this was a very frustrating experience from start to finish, and I regret not going to my usual Chinese takeout spot, China One on Cortez Road, which I highly recommend.

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. The food used to be bland but now it's more flavorful and fresher. The people up front were approachable and friendly and seemed professional. read more
