What a surprise, this place is awesome!!! Clean, beautiful, delicious 😋. Everything is super oily, but taste 👍. Try beef with bamboo shoots and handmade noodles.

That 1000 chili fish is DELICIOUS. And not as spicy as it looks, so if those pictures are making you nervous, don’t back down. Truly a gem of a Chinese restaurant, one worth making a trip to try.

My favorite chinese place around Berkeley. Everything I try here turns out awesome. Some recommendations - Changsha claypot chicken, north schezuan fish fillet with chinese celery and cumin lamb

Hot & sour soup is A+, lots of tofu. The handmade noodles are great but maybe it goes without saying that they don't keep entirely well. Sesame chicken is sweet and delicious.

On my first visit we got a whole fried fish. Unfortunately it was also covered in a candy like sauce. Want to try this place again. It comes highly recommended.

Anything with fish, get whatever greens they're doing that day, skip all the American "classic" stuff and order chef specials!

The 1000 chili fish soup is amazing. The chicken broth is very flavorful and the pieces of fish are delicately tender.

Crispy sesame prawns are great! Quality.....

For lunch, the special spicy vegetable noodles dish is a mouthwatering tease with a spicy-sourness that will require many glasses of water. http://bit.ly/10egem6

Get the Boiling and Spicy Whole Fish and soak up the juice with the sesame bread.

The Kung Pao was good. So was the shrimp and asparagus.

China Village was recommended by my friend Nora Wong - that's probably why it made it into the Michelin 2010 guide

not as good as it was before remodelling.

Rice came in a pool of oil, meat was tasteless. First and last time here.
