“I have come to eat in three times, and many for eat out in the two years since I have found this place. China Village always meets or exceeds my expectations. This is NOT a greasy American Chinese food. This is tasty China Food place that I hope you give a chance. It is not fast food prices because it is real food. We had delicious garlic chicken, chicken chao mein, Mongolian beef, fried prawns and a dessert of Sesame Balls. These are all must try items.
Definitely have the hot tea. Take your time and let it soak before you enjoy it.
The variety of food is phenomenal and consistently fresh.
The staff is pleasant, quick and embody the spirit of this classy place. I can definitely see this clean and tidy place being a venue for special parties of class and elegance for the evey person.
If you are looking for a new Chinese place to try out, please come here.“

A truly amazing discovery of the hidden jewel of boring Solano..

“Sushi bar runs by Chinese? Why not?
The origin of sushi has to trace the sushi’s roots back to China—and even further, to Southeast Asia. The earliest form of sushi, called narezushi, was a method of preserving fish by fermenting it with rice. This technique likely developed in the Mekong and Irrawaddy River basins and was adopted by the Baiyue people of southern China. The Han Chinese documented it as early as the 4th century BCE.
So yes, Chi ese gave sushi the practice beginning.

Twice we dined here, savoring sushi not from a Japanese bar, but from a Chinese family’s hands—gentle, precise, and quietly proud. The flavors whispered of history: from riverbanks in southern China to the bustling streets of Edo. Sushi, reborn and reimagined.“

While, it can get a little noisy when it’s full, most of the time it’s OK. I particularly love the corn cheese fritters, the jumbo garlic, shrimp, the exquisite, coconut soup, and the ginger dish. The wait staff have been universally considerate and excellent.“

“Absolutely best sushi. The chef is extremely passionate and talented, and it shows in the food and the service that is a lost art in current times. The prices are extremely fair for this quality of sushi. I think it's honestly worth more, but the lower prices make it more accessible. They have excellent vegetarian and vegan options. Highly recommend spicy crunchy tuna roll, futomaki roll, shitaki maki vegetable tempura, and my partner recommends the white dragon roll.
I have a crab allergy and have never had any issues here.
Service is good and the atmosphere is nice. The restaurant is decorated and has a nice feel.
In the picture: white dragon roll, spicy crunchy tuna rolls, vegetarian Bento box with veggie tempura and shitaki maki. Highly recommend this place.“

“Wojia is my favorite hunanese restaurant in the Bay area. Will definitely be back again and again.

The food is spicy and has good wok hei.

Farmers bowl is my favorite with mushroom, jalapenos, pork and egg.

The dan dan noodles are nice but skimp a little on the pork. The sauce is delicious tho.

The Kung Pao chicken was a tad sweet but still yummy. No cornstarch coating. No deep frying.

The water chestnut, broccoli and lilly was nice to cut the spice.

The human lamb was soft. The meat is velveted but not coated with starch which I prefer. Same with the Kung Pao chicken.

They don't have a parking lot.“

“Loved it. Coming back with friends.

This is slow food at it's best. Don't come if you are in hurry, or hangey.

But worth the wait if you love seafood and plan a leasurly meal.

We went Friday night after 7. There were only 7 table, some pushed together to accomodate bigger parties. Was greeted and told when large party left, 7 people party plus our party of 2 would be seated at those table. When seated, we got menus, water, and then waited to order. We had already observed this timeline while waiting, and saw those seated earlier oprdering, and just receiving food. So it was as expected.

Food was excellent! Salad so crspy fresh, calamaries crispy, tender, not heavy batter or rubbery. Sauces and dressing creamy and fresh tssting.

Fish same crispy light coating. Lots of fries, neither tried. Next time may ask if can uptier with garlic fries. My shrip boil was more like prawns, 1 lb 19.95, headless plus $1. A bargain, garlic butter mild. I like that you can pick how spicy, and various flavoring.

We were too full to try dessert.
Will try some variety next time with a bigger crowd.“

They have a limited and pricey alcohol menu, but the servers know almost nothing about drinks.

If you find the right dish, and aren't looking for drinks, it is an ok place to eat. Servers are friendly.“
