China Village Novato Reviews
My first time there and everyone’s reviews are right on. The food is amazing and service outstanding. I had the combination crispy noodles and chicken in black bean sauce. (Please note that I had already served myself when I took the photos.)
The food and service here is the best in the north bay! Biggest Chinese chicken salad anywhere and very best wor won ton soup. Thank you. And Kelly is very welcoming here!
Always have a great experience. Their food satisfies my craving for Chinese food when I miss sf restaurants.

The best food Great service i love it
Best Chinese food I had a long time! Specifically recommend Mongolian beef and spicy eggplant. Incredibly delicious!!
I've lived in Novato for six years. I've tried several Chinese restaurants and haven't been impressed. I've resorted to driving down to Ping's in Northgate One. That all changed today when I stopped at China Village in the San Marin Plaza. They know their stuff! Everything was flavorful and delicious. I'll be back!
Went out to dinner with mom and ordered way too much food. So worth it! Love this place!
Great food - consistently tasty with large portions whether I dine in or take out. Wonderful service is second to none. I have even had friends drive out from SF to eat here - it is THAT good! Highly recommended!
Consistently great! The chicken vegetable with fried rice is a perfect meal! Great food and service!

It was the best, generals chicken bright colors , tasty. My last order looked and tasted like it was leftovers. The bright colored chilis looked like chili. The bre.. aded chicken was a beautiful color nice a light brown. The sauce was very nice with the green onions , a bright light color. My last order looked dark brown almost burned. Couldn't tell a chili pepper from the green onions. Waterchestnuts soggy with no crispyness. I was extremely saddened this a establishment went to this point. Not sure if I'll ever eat Chinese again. Unless I make it myself
Ask for extra spicy and get mild. Food portions and ingredient quality are normal. This is a fine restaurant but only take people who enjoy bland food.

Food used to be great! I think they must have changed chefs! Pot stickers seem the same as the frozen ones at Safeway...horrible! Hard to mess up chicken fried rice but they succeeded. Looking for new Chinese restaurant.
After spending a lot of money on a lot of food it was disappointing The only thing that was good and really fresh was the spicy eggplant. The fried rice and potstickers were sooo dry and lacked flavor. I mean how do you mess up homemade potstickers? Guess I’m not going back to this place :/
Absolutely tasteless fried rice & sweet & sour pork & there was no soy sauce or any other flavor packets. 2nd try & never again.
