This is our go-to place for Chinese takeout and it's always good. Tonight, though, it was GREAT. We ordered our favorites and they were all somehow even better than usual. Fish in black bean sauce, shumai, spring rolls, triple delight in hot garlic sauce, pork fried rice, moo shu pork - all delicious. Also, I needed some info on how to order gluten free a few weeks ago, and the restaurant responded to my inquiry quickly and with more care than I expected, chatting with me at some length about different dishes and how to order each. Wonderful service.

Been coming here since I was a little girl and have loved it. The people there even recognize us and ask about my family. Very kind. The food is delicious, comes quickly and tastes fresh. 100% recommend.

1.23.23 This restaurant is located in the Watermont Plaza neighborhood off of Montgomery Rd. My husband's employee recommended this restaurant as he comes here whenever he is working in the area. The owner and her daughter work here. Her daughter worked multiple roles including taking our order and doing deliveries. She informed us that the restaurant has been in business for 30+ years and was previously owned by someone else. They took it over about six years ago. The owner is very friendly and personable although her English is not proficient. She brought out this chicken for Lunar New Year, which was interesting. The restaurant is small and although dine-in is available, it's predominantly carryout and deliveries. The menu is pretty extensive and I had a tough time deciding what I wanted. I finally went with the house combo, which included meat, seafood, and veggies in a brown sauce. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My husband ordered the wonton soup and lo-mein. He enjoyed both of them. Great service and food. I enjoyed my dinner more than my husband. We will definitely keep this in our rotation and be back.

Just warning you this place is fabulous for those looking for AMERICANIZED CHINESE FOOD not for those looking for a more traditional flavored Chinese dinner. Five stars all the way for what we wanted! I was visiting Baltimore. We were looking for a special treat and in my family "Fancy" is family style Chinese food, especially if dad will pay for the Poo Poo Platter, but this time was to go, so no poo poo platter just extra egg rolls! My Grandma and my Aunt love this place. Although the pick up was rough the meal was awesome, so take the extra time and order slowly to get it right. *** We ordered Egg rolls and they gave us Spring rolls. Thank goodness my Dad checked the bag and made them restate the order upon picking up. He had to fuss a bit for the front hostess to believe and replace the spring rolls with actual Egg rolls. That part was weird, BUT AND THIS IS A "BIG BUT", I am not even deducting stars for the mistake since we caught it. All the food was great. * 6 Egg rolls perfectly cooked, crispy and not soggy egg rolls still hit from the fryer due to my Dad's focus on getting it home timely for our family feast. We also got a side order/container of the BRIGHT HOT PINK SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE, not just a packet of duck sauce trying to pass as the totally American Sweet and Sour we love so much. Best sauce to dip our egg rolls in as the appetizers. **Large portions for family size orders. House fried rice was perfect and had white chicken meat in it. Not that "hard to identify" dark chicken meat (Yuck). It also had the big perfectly shaped and not overcooked shrimp throughout the order. Probably 8-10 shrimp spread throughout the order. *** The Orange Chicken is spicy even when you order MILD. But it was fresh and tasted great. Three very hungry adults shared the 6 Egg rolls, House Fried Rice and Mild Orange Chicken (that is served with steamed unseasoned broccoli and steamed rice). Everyone Loved it and we ate the left overs the next day. Again Just warning you this place is fabulous for those looking for those families seeking out that perfect flavor only tasted in the fine establishments serving true AMERICANIZED CHINESE FOOD not for those looking for a more traditional flavored Chinese dinner. Five stars for what we wanted! I know I should have taken pictures, but it could have compromised the freshness of the egg rolls, so I just forgot. Here's to China Village. We may see you at Christmas! Ha ha ha

I have lived in Hong Kong and Taiwan and this is the closest I've come to Chinese food that taste like it was made in Taiwan or Hong Kong. The vegetables are always so fresh and the meat so tasty and fresh never and after taste. And the portions are always large enough for two meals. I drive a long way to come to China Village and the food is well worth the long drive.

I also love their egg drop soup, and always make sure to order extra "crunchies"(aka crispy konji noodles). I've ordered it spicy (egg drop soup + their spicy red pepper chili sauce) before too, which is pretty good, but lately I've been just getting the normal egg drop soup. I always make sure to get a couple quarts at a time, since it's super cheap, and reheats well. I really like their shrimp lo mein as well.

This hidden gem in Ellicott City is amazing. I've passed it numerous times and always hear good things about it. We finally tried it and was satisfied. The restaurant is a small dine in spot but majority people order take out. We decided to dine in along with a man dining solo. We were literally the only two parties that dined in. There were a ton of take our orders. ORDER: Combination Fried Rice - I rarely like Chinese Fried rice but this fried rice was very yummy. The combination fried rice comes with shrimp, beef and chicken. It also comes with the usual egg and seasoned perfectly. There are options for beef, chicken or shrimp if you don't want the combination. Beef Pan Fried Noodles - This is my favorite that is actually hard to find. I was very pleased they had it here. The lady asked if I wanted the American version or the Chinese. Chinese version all the way. It was A-Mazing. It's beef with crunchy noodles that perfectly blend well with the sauce that soften up as you mix it together with the greens. I personally like the crunch because it makes it exactly what it is; Pan Fried. There are options for pork, chicken or combination. Beef is my go to when ordering this dish. Szechuan Beef - This was beef with veggies and a little kick of spice. There was more veggies than beef but it was delicious either way. It came with a side of white rice. Service is good. They get busy so you have to be patient but it's worth the wait. We didn't wait that long so I wasn't bothered. We definitely plan on coming back to dine in or order take out.
