“The tale of two cities or it takes a village ... such is my story of my visit to the Asian Village. I have my "go to"place but I felt that urge for some Chinese take-out; I know you have had that same feeling because otherwise you'd not be checking out the reviews for the Asian Village. The Village sits back in a nondescript plaza that actually has a sense of loneliness to it. When you glance at the windows and doors your curiosity is piqued wondering what this place was like back in the pre-Covid days when table service was part of their trade. The interior is covered in plastic sheeting creating a barrier from what was once the seating area. The narrow hallway leads you to the front desk where orders are taken. I was thrilled to see a sign mandating masks for service and also encouraging social distancing. These people seem to care. And, caring friendly service was what I received at the front desk where I was greeted with a warm smile. I felt welcomed and that alone says something these days. A simple luncheon special was my choice; I did note that the village has a very extensive menu including some "healthy options." My wait was less than promised and we parted with friendly wishes. The woman's smile never left her face. So, now feeling good about the Village I head home for lunch and iit was very obvious that this meal came from two parts of town. My hot and sour soup while offering a blend of classic tastes must have been prepared in the village salt mines. I rarely do not finish soups but I felt like I was drinking liquid sodium and even though I liked the soup's basic flavoring .... well the trash can ended up with half of my soup. The Hunan Beef however must have been prepared right in the village's farm district because each vegetable in this "fast cooked" meal had substance and actually tasted distinctly like the vegetable that went freshly into the wok. The carrots had crunch and tasted like carrots, the broccoli likewise had no signs of limping into my take out carrier they were so perfect! The peppers were fresh and the beef was tenderly good! Their Human sauce was rather mild even though the menu said "spicy" but that was ok. The rice was perfect and a nice contrast with the sauce although I did add sauce to the rice. Now the "bakery" well not quite sure if a bakery is where the fried noodles were prepared but they were fresh albeit a little oily. And, the standard prepackaged fortune cookies were already destined to join the salty soup ... no, I have found out what my fortunate was ... hope that's not a sign of bad luck. Today, it was good luck ... super service a good value for the price ... a business concerned with my health ... and how I love fresh crunchy veggies in stir fry, which proves they haven't been sitting around forever. I will forgive the salt mine's contribution because the meal left me happy and I am sure I will return but next time I will check out the Won Ton Soup to see whether it is prepared next to the salt too,“
“Don't let this dinner foundation fool you. This place is a magnificent, a true rough cut diamond. Fast seating, food options are vast, and the quality of food is astonishing. Please please please, take a moment to stop and simply enjoy what this establishment has to offer. Trust me, you won't regret it.“
“Best Chinese food in a 15-mile radius.. I come from Pennsauken, which is a 25 min ride for me to get the food here. The space is very neat and clean, and there's a nice wall with some interesting artwork and statues. They also seem to hire people and youth from the neighborhood to work the front desk, which is, in my opinion, a very wise and good thing to do. Golden Palace is a GREAT PLACE TO GET YOUR FOOD!“
“China house doesn't miss, I've been coming here for years , and the food is always fresh and delicious. If it's supposed to be crispy , it will be crispy. Some pork dumplings I've had and definitely best in the area . I normally get take out but they're dine-in is great definitely try their sushi as well.“
