China Village

WOW! 5+++ stars! I passed by to get some food, and it was DELICIOUS! The crab wontons had more crabmeat than I imagined, the lo mein was very tasty, the service is wonderful, and the lady up front is very polite (I don’t know why some people is saying that she’s rude). I guessed I found my favorite chinese place!:) I will DEFINITELY come back

This is pretty standard fare Chinese food. It’s done pretty well for an extremely inexpensive price and handed out by people that seem to care about their customers. That’s about it for China Village…
The atmosphere here is nonexistent. You can come in and sit if you want but their seats are mostly for patrons to hang out while their dumplings are being steamed. I spent my time mesmerized watching the guy cooking with the wok toss everything and alternately use the water tap above him to clean his super hot pan. Made it go quickly.
For the food, my wife and I wanted Chinese food and got Chinese food. This is pretty standard and greasy Americanized Chinese food but it’s tasty nonetheless. The chicken lo mein is flavorful and filling. Kung Pao Chicken could stand more heat but was still good. It’s a good, cheap option for what it is if that’s what you’re craving!

Well first I would like to say that the sesame chicken combo I ordered was scrumptious, only my egg roll was a little over cooked. However I was a little bit skeptical of the appearance of the store. Everyone was friendly and the lady that took our order did it promptly. My friend and I didn’t wait long for food. When it came it was fresh and really hot, like burn your mouth hot. Lastly I love the way that they repurpose boxes from the near by liquor store. If you order enough stuff they put your food in a box! Reduce, reuse, recycle :)

Amongst Chinese restaurants, I would rank this one as among my favorites in Nashville, especially for takeout. They have some of the best crab rangoons– not sugared up like too many crab appetizers, nor do they skimp on the filling. You get eight generous rangoons coupled with a great sweet and sour sauce that is perfect for dipping.
I always order takeout from here. I discovered this place because next door Prince’s was way too busy with a line out the door, and I was looking for immediate gratification without waiting in the then-​cold outdoors. China Village definitely fit the bill. Plus, combination platters are super cheap and come with a great deal of food, perfect for leftover lunches. The spice factor is perfect for the spicier dishes such as orange chicken or General Tso’s.
Again, due to the ambience, I advocate takeout or delivery. Though China Village has a small dining area, it is a in the middle of a heavily trafficked area (lots of people getting to-​go and delivery), and the kitchen is in full-​view. You would much rather prefer to eat at home.
They really take care of their regulars, as shown by the series of thank you letters displayed on the wall from over a decade of service. It takes at least some quality Chinese food, especially in Nashville, to have such long-​lived loyalty in over ten years of service by this family restaurant.
So, if you live in East Nashville or nearby, and are craving some good takeout, China Village is a great place!

They have sum of the best fried chicken! An make sure u get the hot sauce they got there to go with it

Hey Baes, This is not only the bestest and least-​expensivest carryout Asian Chinese style food I know of in this area, but also the cultural experience you get to have. Call in and tell them what you want, they say «Ok, thanks!» without asking your name or number, they just trust that you are coming to get it. I go in at lunch and get 2 dinners for 2 people…$ 10.50 total! How hot or spicy you like? Or nah…

Not the best Chinese food I’ve had but it’ll get the job done.
Lunch is SUPER cheap.
And I usually get a combination platter.
I’ve been going here for the past year and some changes have been made but I think for what I pay I get what I pay for so I’m not complaining.
When they’re busy it takes forever even if I call in, but I go in expecting it.
Portions are large so can usually eat for two meals.

Husband wanted Chinese food on Sunday and this was the closest place to us that was open. We ordered food to go and just assumed that like most Chinese places, the food would be ready to go in about 10 mins. We left immediately as we live 10 mins away. Husband went inside and waited for probably 15 minutes. He said they only had one cook and were obviously pretty busy. No big deal, the food should be nice and hot. However, he said the interior was freezing and smelled like a bathroom. That immediately turned me off from this place and I didn’t even go inside. We got our food and drove home. We both ordered General tso tofu, mine with steamed rice, his with fried rice, we shared a small order of plain lo mein, and crab rangoon. The tofu was good and hot. My rice was fine. I thought his tasted old and kind of like smoke? The lo mein was tasty. The crab rangoon were cold so we heated them in the oven. Weird that they would be cold. It’s as if they cooked them then let them sit while they cooked 10 other people’s food, then made our entrees. Anyway this wasn’t my favorite place, and it was definitely sketchy as all get out, but we will probably order again down the road I’m sure.

The bar for Chinese is set low in Nashville, and China Village falls below it.
Housed in a dingy strip mall next to Princes Hot Chicken, China Village has none of its neighbor’s appeal.
The folks here are working hard, keeping the place clean, while turning out fried American Chinese food that is a step below Manchu wok. I hope this family sees the light, and opens up in better location, charges more, and uses higher quality food. In East Nashville, the owner’s hard working attitude could finally fill the East Nashville Chinese food desert.
The fried rice is dry and precooked, only to be reheated with your favorite meat. The Kung Pao Chicken had a brown sauce and was filled with low quality vegetables like celery to save cost.
If you want to stuff your face with cheap Chinese-​American food this place could fit the bill, but if you want real Chinese food, don’t even think about it. Keep your chopstick in your pocket and go elsewhere.

great food. I’ve been there a lot of times and only had 1 time the food wasn’t perfect and even then it was better than elsewhere. the only place with gen tso/​generals chicken that does it right! huge portions for the money. I eat a good size amount normally and I can get 2 meals out of their 1.

I went because there were good reviews. And I feel like realistically as far as chinese food goes for the price it was very generic.
I didn’t even think the price for food was that great.
For someone who is from out of town, it is in a sketchier part of town than I wanted to go and is really run down on the inside.

I work close by and wanted General Tso’s chicken for lunch. There was no wait at noon, the order came out quickly and smelled good. I ordered it to go and brought it back to work to eat. I ordered the fried rice without onions and that was correct. I like spicy food and usually get the general’s chicken when I eat Chinese. This could have been a little hotter, it was very mild but still a good flavor. The rice needed to be cooked longer as it was crunchy in the center. My biggest problem was it was very salty more so than any other Chinese restaurant I have eaten at. I will probably give them another chance and let them know when I order that it was very salty.

Oh dang, super good first experience here. I got General Tso’s chicken combination spicy with fried rice and egg roll $ 7.00 and change. Friday night it was super busy but the order came up in 10 minutes and they threw in some fried fish triangles of some sort that weren’t great but it was a nice gesture… not sure why they did that though. Anyways, I will be back.
Great tasting egg roll, one of the finest I’ve ever had. Massive portions. Cheap $$$!

For hole in the wall Chinese food– not bad at all. It is certainly not gourmet, but you get a tremendous amount of food for not much money. The food is not unexpectedly greasy, and is pretty tasty.
Also, and this is important, they are open late. I moved here recently, and have been put out by how early most food establishments close. Not these folks. Open till 11h30 on weekends, and 10h30 on weeknights. That’s reasonable hours.

You can’t judge a book by it’s cover (unless it’s a British printed Terry Pratchett book, which says everything about the book) Located in the same little strip mall as Prince’s, it had me a little suspect at first. The pile of boxes had me a little wary, why would you keep trash inside. Only to find out it’s recycling at it’s finest. A couple of orders of anything and you’ll be carrying out one of those boxes. As for the food everything I’ve had has been very flavourful. The kitchen is in full view so you can see what’s being cooked if you haven’t already called in your order. The staff are very friendly. The lady that takes the orders is disappointed if I don’t bring my daughter with me.
I personally like the Mongolian beef. They also have chicken toast, which is unusually yummy
