China Village - Albany

I think I had authentic Sichuan food here first. I loved her pork shoulders and 1000 pepper fish best. Recently we try to eat mostly vegetarian. Your Mapo Tofu is fantastic. We recently traveled to Sichuan and ate at Chen Mapo tofu. The restaurant that invented the dish in the middle of the 1800s. My wife and I agree, China Village makes it better! We also had the dry hotpot today and it was great. I have to try the regular hotpot here. We had a great hotpot in Chengdu. I like a heavy hand with the seuan peppercorn. I have to ask if they can apply it liberally to the hotpot.

Most likely the finest Szechuan cuisine in East Bay. Every dish is an absolute joy. For me, the Tofu skin is everything! Then try the smoothed beef, the twice cooked fish, the orange peeling beef is exquisite and the pork shoulder is KING. I'm alone and I love the kidneys here. This place is best visited in large groups (8 or more) by friends so you can share all the experience. Make sure to dine with large bottles of Tsing-tao beer and finish the evening with extremely potent shots from Bai-ju. This place makes incredible stories and if you have the recordings have a specific driver or two handy.

The service and quality of the food was excellent. Very authentic tasting. Those who rate this restaurant low do not understand the type of cuisine they have

I love this Chinese restaurant. It's my favorite. The best. My favorite is the sizzling seafood tonpot. Delicious. And we love everything we eat there. We'll go if we get the chance.

The food was excellent, service was outstanding even tho the restaurant filled up very quickly after we were seated.
