So happy we found this place! The Vegetable Egg rolls were delicious. The chicken Fried rice, sesame chicken and vegetable lo mein were also excellent. Service was prompt and friendly. Small restaurant but No wait on a Monday night. We will definitely return! read more

I've been coming here for years. I always (perhaps unimaginatively) had the same thing: wonton soup off the regular menu, and homemade dumplings off the Chinese menu. Always hit the spot: the best dumplings west of Buford Hwy. Went in today and they'd "updated" the menu. The regular menu no longer features wonton soup, and they no longer offer the Chinese menu at all. The dumplings I had today (the only ones they have now) were not homemade, they were just typical generic any-Chinese-restaurant-anywhere dumplings. Don't know if I'll be back. read more

More than anything, the people make the place. At Village Wok, I had the greatest pleasure of dining alongside my colleague/brother where we were treated as guests in someone's home! Our kind waitress even took our photo together. The food was good. I had a yummy egg roll and sesame chicken. The atmosphere was nice. But above all, it was a lovely experience that makes me want to go back again and again and again. read more

Absolutely LOVE Village Wok. The fried rice is amazing but what we really go for are the dumplings/dim sum. OMG! Since leaving Denver, which has some of my favorite dim sum options, I have not found a place that comes close until now. Lots of different options ensure I'll be back often to try more! Aside from the dim sum, everything I have had has been on point! Very traditional and authentic specialty dishes and more "Americanized" options ensure there's something on the menu u for everyone. Go check this place out! Highly recommended! You won't be disappointed. read more

The dim sum was amazing. Made from scratch, great flavor and texture. The dish came with 10 dim sum dumplings, perfect for sharing, or in my case I took half home. Love the dipping sauce. Very attentive and friendly service, drinks always stay full. Highly recommended! read more

Food was so unseasoned, very disappointed after hyping this place up to my friend (Having tried the place before the food was great) we were let down immensely. went to return the food the next day as they were closed by the time of consumption only to learn they were closed on saturday. I do not recommend this place at all, it is barely safe for human consumption. read more

Village Wok - a man holding a bag of food - Chinese Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

Some of the best Chinese food in Auburn. The lady who works at the front is super nice and the price is not too bad. Highly recommend.

For everyone leaving bad reviews, you're trippin if you expect high quality authentic Chinese food from a typical Chinese takeout place. The food was just as I expected. Not bad. I ordered Orange Chicken with Fried rice. The Orange chicken was pretty damn good. Good orange flavor with crispy chicken fried fresh. It even had broccoli‼ Fried rice was kinda mid because it tasted like tap water, but I added soy sauce and it was better. The Service was top notch and speedy. Overall not bad read more

The food was great. I usually get egg drop soup and an egg roll or general tso chicken and lo Meir. Both very good. Orange chicken is not my fav. Tso chicken and lo mein are about $18 but I eat on it for a few days. Good prices and large portions! read more

all 1-star reviews are over a year old. This is the best place ever!!!!!! Best food in auburn. The people are awesome. Highly recommend. Ideal atmosphere for great food. read more

The food here is amazing, expecilly three cup chickenand service is great, top Chinese food in this area.

After a 3-4 year absence, we stopped here during a trip, and it was--even without dine-in service b/c of the virus--excellent. I goofed and order something a friend recommended (I believe it was just called 'meat and rice'), and it was ok but not as good as other dishes I've had there, not for me anyhow. That's on me for going with something I was unsure about. I love how they have an authentic Chinese version of what they offer so I can try out new things. The service is wonderful, and they even recognized my son after several years. Quick, good, affordable. read more

Terrible food. Paid premium price for meat and chicken, both of which were rotten. Don't eat here. read more

When I called I asked her a question for clarification on a menu item and she proceeded to hang up in my face. I called back and another guy picked up and I asked "did she hang up in my face?" And he stated "yes she did, what's your order?". That was very rude. read more

I have been going to them for good food for as long as they have been open. I went for lunches from the university and for Sunday buffets for years. They are friendly and I mostly order the chili pepper chicken and fried rice with hot and sour soup. read more

Thank you so much offering familiar and wonderful Taiwanese cuisine for our family. We highly recommend fried string beans, dried radish eggs, home-style bean curd, and chicken with ginger/wine in casserole. Definitely will come back for enjoying this authentic flavor again. read more

My coworkers and I decided to go here since we work nearby. We ordered online and tipped and paid a service fee, which we thought was ok. I also put on my order that I was going to "Dine in." We purchased our food upon arrival and proceeded to sit at a table. The bus girl was very offended that we were eating over the menus and one person had her purse on one as well. She did not want them to get dirty. THEY ARE LAMINATED. Also, two of us realized we had not ordered a drink and asked for water. They said all they had were bottles at 3 dollars a piece. We also asked for extra bags when we left and the owner came over and said something about "free." We aren't sure what she was talking about, but think perhaps she was saying water is free when you eat in. Not sure. But again, we TIPPED AND PAID AN EXTRA FEE to order ahead and make it easier on them. AS to the food..the General Tso's was dry and chewy. Fried rice had a strange taste, but was not good at all, and the broccoli was bland. Hot and sour soup was good. Coworkers also did not like their food, although one said the dumplings were good. Did not feel welcomed at this restaurant, so will not return. read more

Got food poison after ordering delivery. Probably due to the COVID, they are not running a good business and the food was not fresh when served. Won't order from this place any more. read more

By far the best Chinese food in Auburn. Warm, friendly service and a clean atmosphere is the reason we come back time and time again. Can't beat their $4.99 lunch specials. They deliver to North Auburn, where 95% of restaurants in Auburn refuse to deliver. read more

Village Wok - Chicken Lo Mein lunch special - Chinese Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

I've been going here for 10 years and it's great. The hot and sour soup, garlic chicken, szechuan chicken, spring rolls and fried dumplings are great. Other typical dishes like General Tso's chicken and kung pao chicken are good too. The management is extremely friendly and their service is good. The Sunday lunch buffet is as good as you could ever do for $6.50. They use their own recipes (unlike those run of the mill Chinese restaurants). There's also an authentic Chinese menu. I can't remember how, but there is some connection between Village Wok and the old Cheng Du restaurant that used to be downtown. Best Chinese food in Auburn in my opinion. read more

I was excited for my meal, the prices are good, and the reviews are okay. My soup was good, until I bit into a wonton. It tasted like getting a mouth full of pool water. It released a noxious gas into my soup, tainting the broth with what tasted like chlorine. The fried wantons were stale, and my rangoons were like rubber and only half filled. Personally would not recommend. read more

The service and the prices here are worth it. That's probably because the food was that bad. No Chinese restaurant-real or fake-should ever mess up the egg rolls and the egg rolls here were oily, chewy, and cold. I ordered the honey tofu and there was way too much honey in the tofu. Also, the fried rice was a different color than what I'm used to seeing. The fried rice here--I'm not sure what it was, it shouldn't have been called rice really. They also had a watermelon slice for desert. I don't like watermelon. read more

I placed a simple order for delivery. The guy did not understand my order, I had to repeat it multiple times. Then, they brought the wrong food! When I called back, they pretty much implied that I was lying about the order even though I had a witness in the room that heard me order something different. They yelled at me and finally offered to exchange the food but I felt so uncomfortable and disrespected that I decided not to eat my meal at all and I threw it away. My friend, who chose to keep her meal, found a piece of hair in her fried rice. She eventually decided to throw it out as well. Horrible, horrible customer service! I do not recommend AT ALL. read more

The food wasn't good at all. I got sesame chicken and the chicken was very small. Smaller than chicken nuggets at Wendy's. The rice was very yellow didn't look like fried rice to me and it was hard. It didn't seem cooked all the way. I also got egg drop soup and I didn't dare touch it because I never seen egg drop soup so thick and milky looking. It seemed like it was a cup of oil with eggs in it. This was my first time trying this restaurant and sadly it will be last time as well. Don't go! read more

So I would just like to preface this review by saying I normally never would give a restaurant anything below like 3 stars. In fact, I had to download yelp just for this one review because of how bad my experience was with the food from Village Wok. Last night I ordered food from Village Wok to be delivered. I looked at their menu online and decided the lo mein and dumplings sounded delicious. I'm a vegetarian so sometimes it is hard to find dumplings that don't have meat in them so I decided to call in and ask if they had vegetable dumplings just to be sure. The lady on the phone listed the variety of dumplings they had and to my delight they did have veggie dumplings! A favorite of mine! I ordered it online and clicked the button the said veggie lo mein and the button that said veggie dumplings and was feeling pretty confident after having already called ahead. I looked at the ingredients out of curiosity and their veggie dumplings looked so appealing and were primarily mushroom based! When I got my food it smelled a little funky but I just figured that was due to the peppers in the lo mein and didn't think anything of it. I took my first bite of dumpling and felt something was off. It didn't look like veggie dumplings on the inside. It didn't taste like mushrooms. I ignored both of these concerns and ate another thinking maybe the brown color was due to the mushrooms and the taste was the flavoring they use and maybe my palette was off due to the excess of peppers they use in the lo mein. I decided to try another and started to feel a little queasy and was now pretty sure these had meat in them. I opened the next one to inspect and sure enough there was some kind of meat in them! Now I have been vegetarian for 3 years and have never eaten any meat products in that time so naturally my body would react. For about an hour after I ate the TWO dumplings I felt pretty queasy but I ignored it. About an hour and a half later I rushed to the bathroom and was VIOLENTLY ILL!! I knew this was due to the dumplings bc once I threw them up I immediately felt relief. I'm sure someone who ate at Village Wok would have an entirely different experience than I did and I'm sure it is lovely since I myself have never eaten at the restaurant. This is not me trying to bash this establishment, rather a warning to be careful about ordering online from there, especially if you have any kind of dietary restrictions! read more

I am a Chinese, and to be honest, this place sucks from its food to its service. I would never go to this piece of shit again

Despite having a few good experiences here before, this last visit was so bad I can only give one star. On weekdays with just the regular menu, this place functions really well with attentive waiters, cheap prices, and a lot of vegetarian options (which is often rare with smaller establishments like this). However, the place is SO small I can't imagine why they ever thought it was a good idea to host a Sunday lunch buffet. We happened to come in during buffet hours by accident, and of course it's super crowded, but we're willing to wait for a table. However, for some reason, the waitress decides to put us at a 4 person table when it's only the two of us and there's a 2 person table available. We shrug it off and figure they'll just make larger parties who come in later wait for us to finish. Nope. Another couple comes in and they're seated at the SAME table as us. We're literally shoulder to shoulder with total strangers. It was incredibly awkward and uncomfortable, and would've been avoided if they'd just cleaned off the two person table. But onto the food itself. My boyfriend came for just one dish so he asks for the regular menu. They tell him they can't do the regular menu because they're busy, and to "please please just get the buffet". Alright then, no problem. We get to the buffet. There's basically no food left. Maybe two out of ten trays have anything in them. We get a few bites and wait and wait and wait for the trays to be refilled, but they never are. They don't even offer the kinds of dishes we came for in the first place. We're starving, squeezed into the same table with random strangers, and have been more than patient, so my boyfriend refuses to pay for this crap and we leave. A waitress chases after us and makes him talk to the boss, who keeps asking him over and over if we ate anything as if we just gorged ourselves and left without paying. Sorry but three bites of stale tofu is not worth the entire buffet cost for two people. Still, they barely understand what my bf is trying to say, and because he doesn't want to make a scene, they shake him down into paying for one buffet price plus the drink he ordered (a Diet Coke, which somehow ended up being $3?) We're never personally coming back here again, but if anyone reading this wants to try it, just make sure to NEVER come on a Sunday afternoon. read more

This is hands down, the best Chinese restaurant in town. It's actually more Taiwanese. Order off the "Chinese menu", that's where the good stuff is at. It's a hole in the wall place, so don't expect much from decor. For a Chinese place, the restroom is amazing. They're very attentive, but then again I speak Chinese, so I can't be an honest judge of service level. read more

You will hate here if you wanna have the Sunday morning buffet. The Taiwaness manager lady pushes guests out when they seems like finish the eatings, and she just wants to get empty tables for the next guests!!! read more

After having to repeat my order multiple times over the phone, the food I picked up still wasn't the right order. I've ordered several times from Village Wok and this is surely my last time. The chicken with garlic sauce is very bland and had maybe 4 strips of chicken, and the house fried rice was soaked in oil and fairly bland as well. It's a shame it used to be good but that's the last straw. read more

The vegetable lo mein is gross. There was barely any chicken in my general tso chicken. The egg rolls are small. And most importantly, why is the fried rice orange?! read more

Very bad food. The owners are not friendly. They didn't allow me to charge my cell phone when I'd pay $10 for lunch.

I get take out here from time to time, and it is always generous portions of fresh, delicious food. The staff is incredibly friendly!

Went to this place maybe a few times, and their food was getting worse. I didn't feel pleased by the fact that the tofu dish didn't have any salt when I said "please don't put too much salt." I didn't think the ingredients were fresh enough either. read more

I had lunch there today, and it was a good experience. We were seated immediately, and order was taken promptly. My son and I both ordered off the lunch menu, and the food was prepared quickly and served hot. Along with the soup, it is more than enough for lunch. The lunch special is $5.50. We were in and out in 20 minutes. The small staff is diligent and friendly. read more

I like it very much. I choose the triple delight every time. Chef is very nice and cool. Even the Traditional Chinese food is authentic for most people and you can choose your own taste like spicy or not. read more
