Lunch special: honey walnut prawns…read more The honey walnut prawns were plump and had a good bite. Batter was light. Sauce was light. 5/5 The chow mein and fried rice that was part of the lunch special was fine. Noodles were thick and chewy which I like, but flavor was bland on both. 3/5 Dinner versions of chow mein and dried rice are probably better as they have specific types while the lunch are the generic versions. Will definitely come again because the shrimp texture was perfect.

10/10 hands down best Chinese restaurant I've been to. I haven't had good Chinese food since 2008!!…read more The food is absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection with mesmerizing scents hitting you in the face. The chicken has a perfectly crisp to sauce ratio; not at all too dry and not soggy in the slightest. Fried rice was delicious! Everything was absolutely perfect. The service, was absolutely wonderful. Our server was extremely respectful, quick, informative and so kind. I enjoyed the ambiance as well, they were playing K-pop. However, I must admit I wasn't much of a fan of the Thai iced tea, it was a bit too dry for me if that makes any sense?? But if you aren't huge on sweets it's the perfect drink for you My bf and I will certainly be coming here often! I highly recommend this Chinese restaurant

The prices are a bit high for my liking, but maybe this is a norm out here in Livermore. We ordered 3 items: Combo fried rice, Orange Chicken, and Chicken Corn Soup. Spent about $50. The food would have been only enough for 2 people. Food was good, soup was a bit salty and had a bit too much cornstarch. Orange chicken was delicious, I would go back for this anytime. The fried rice was okay, a little too dry, but not too bad. Overall the food was good and service was quick. We didn't wait too long for our order.

My…read moreaunt, who lives in Livermore, brought us there since it's one of her favorite restaurants, and now I understand why. The three of us shared the House Special Dinner, which was a fantastic spread. It included fried prawns, egg rolls, barbecued spare ribs, Mandarin orange beef, prawns with snow peas, honey walnut prawns, and house fried rice. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The honey walnut prawns were especially memorable, and every dish had great balance and taste. The variety made it perfect for sharing, and we left very satisfied. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the overall dining experience was excellent. It's not exactly light on the wallet--the price is $32.95 per person as of March 2026--but considering the amount and quality of food you receive, it felt like a very good value. I would absolutely recommend Canton Village to anyone looking for delicious Chinese food in Livermore.

Everything they do here is excellent- decor, ambiance, service, drinks, & food. Decor, ambiance, and service are elevated and fit in with the price tag. While expensive, the food is absolutely worth it. This is not "authentic" Chinese food, but it is "fancy" Chinese food and doesn't have a "greasy" aspect. One of our favorite dishes is the fried rice- I think about it often when I'm hungry. We have never had anything we didn't love, so follow your taste buds! As a very picky dirty martini connoisseur... this is one of the only places in the tri-valley that serves an amazing martini! Use that information wisely ;)

One of the worst dining experiences we've had in Livermore. We had family visiting from out of town…read moreand were excited to take them to Uncle Yu's, a restaurant we had enjoyed several times before. Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in, the hostess was extremely rude, cold, and dismissive. Every question was met with attitude, and the way we were treated made us feel very unwelcome. As a family of a different nationality, I couldn't help but wonder whether that played a role. When I asked to speak with the manager, hoping she would address the situation, she was immediately defensive and completely dismissed my concerns. Sadly, the poor treatment continued with the rest of the staff. I kept giving them chances, thinking the next interaction would be better, but it wasn't. To top it off, the food was nowhere near the quality we remembered--it was mediocre at best. We came in excited to share a restaurant we had previously enjoyed with our family and left feeling unwelcome, disrespected, and extremely disappointed. After being repeat customers, this experience has completely changed how we feel about Uncle Yu's.

It is small, but don't let that deter you. It was a find and the food is delicious. The service is good. we ordered a couple of items to take home. The lunch menu is generous portion and the prices are reasonable by current standards. I ordered the salt and pepper fish which was filet of sole that looked like nuggets, accompanied by fired rice and a cup of egg flower soup. The other dish we had was garlic shrimp again with fried rice and soup. We will definitely be back.

I tried again yesterday. Ordered the lightly breaded pork chop lunch special. The pork was so tough I could not chew it. I ordered fried rice and got noodles. I ordered the shrimp with lobster sauce (which Ive had for decades at various restaurants). The shrimp were like rubber, it was loaded with green peppers (which Ive never seen in a shrimp with lobster sauce dis), the gravy was like tasteless water, and ther there was NO traditional lobster sauce Bo is not a chef and his dishes are subpar. I ordered egg food young a few months ago....the outside was burned, the inside was uncooked, and it hadno flavor. I hate to say it, but you should avoid this restaurant. Ive given up on this place. Bo is a great guy but he is not a food person. So sad....

I enjoyed my meal at this Cantonese spot in Dublin…read more I stopped by for dinner with a friend on a Tuesday evening around 5 pm and it wasn't too crowded. My friend got the hot HK milk tea ($4.95). I tried a sip and it was delicious with the perfect blend of tea, condensed milk, and sugar. The menu selection is decent, with plenty of options for noodles and rice and a smaller selection of meat dishes. They also serve congee and chang fun / rice noodle rolls as well as Cantonese bbq meats. We shared two dishes: #12 salt and pepper tofu ($8.95) #47 braised egg tofu beef cube ($25.95) Both the tofu and beef were delicious. The tofu was fried perfectly and had the right amount of seasoning. The beef cubes were super tender and I appreciated all the veggies that it came with, in addition to the egg tofu. I paired both with a bowl for rice for an extra $2.50. Portions were large for both items and we ended up taking some leftovers home. They heated up well the next day for lunch!

Soooo, after some ownership changes, my peeps moving on…read more Not only have they increased the prices by 100%, but the quality is not the same. Fried rice is bland, the portion of my Mongolian beef lunch staple, feels light. Def a different cook, just not the same. People are still friendly, even if it's a new crew. But it really is no longer the great deal it was for years. So just needed to update my review for the current situation. I understand lease rates in Livermore has gotten stupid, but 3-4% inflation doesn't agree with 100%+ increases we are seeing. Sucks when our local favorites jump on that bandwagon .

We've fallen in love with this place since someone recommended them to us for their Salt and Pepper…read morePrawns. We love that they have Szechuan cuisine as well as American Chinese, and it's not too salty, too oily, or too bland. The spicy dishes we've been getting our excellent. And while they don't have a traditional twice cooked pork, they do have excellent cumin lamb/beef and dry-spiced chicken! Next we plan to try the Dan Dan noodles and mapo tofu. The man who answers the phone is always really nice and helpful when I call in an order, and has helpful advice and suggestions, like when I accidentally order all spicy dishes (and I'm feeding kids always) or if I just ask (do you have something with this and this?). I love how friendly and helpful they are here! They have a dedicated easy to access parking lot which I love over downtown places, and the interior looks nice and comfy although I've only ever done takeout. Everything is always hot and fresh, we've never had anything taste stale or old like Peking did in the end on Las Positas. The wonton soup also was delicious on last visit! Plenty of flavor but not too much oil, and my kids loved the broth. I was excited to learn you can swap in almost any entrees you want for the family meal, making it a good deal! I especially love the whiteboard menu of specials at the door. This is how our old favorite restaurant back home always did it, and I'm now taking it to mean the mark of a good restaurant. Try something off that menu, it's got the best dishes!

We were instructed to come up to the register to order when ready, and the food would be brought out. I don't mind this setup, but since the restaurant is small and the tables take up a lot of space, it can get congested at the front when busy. FOOD - Cucumber Salad - Shumai - Pork XLB - Chili Wontons We ordered these four items along with drinks, and everything was DELICIOUS. The quality is evident, as they prepare everything in-house, steaming and cooking each dish to order. The staff were very friendly, and the kitchen was busy with many people cooking and prepping. My FAV was the shumai. These were juicy and so flavorful. I look forward to returning to try more menu items!

Smaller restaurant, maybe 10-14 total tables. Light decor. With a see through window into the kitchen. When you enter you are pointed to a table.

We ordered the following: Popcorn chicken Crab and pork xiao long bao (8) Lo mein Pan fried pork buns (4) Popcorn chicken doesn't feel like they skimp and have good size chunks of chicken. Feels like Taiwanese fried chicken from your local boba shop. Xiao long bao was the star of the order, solid soup dumplings with great filling and broth. Pan fried pork buns, second favorite dish. Similiar as in a broth on the interior but purely pork. The bun is more of a softer bread you would get in like siopao in Filipino dishes.
