The BBQ Pork Chow Mein, Spicy Garlic Eggplant, and Snow Pea Beef are all absolutely fantastic and deserve five stars! The BBQ Pork Chow Mein features tender, caramelized pork with perfectly stir-fried noodles, offering a deliciously savory and slightly sweet flavor. The Spicy Garlic Eggplant is bold and flavorful, with garlic and spice beautifully enhancing the soft, melt-in-your-mouth eggplant. And the Snow Pea Beef strikes the perfect balance, with tender beef, crisp snow peas, and a savory, slightly sweet sauce that ties everything together. Every dish is expertly crafted with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors, making for an exceptional dining experience.

We've fallen in love with this place since someone recommended them to us for their Salt and Pepper Prawns. We love that they have Szechuan cuisine as well as American Chinese, and it's not too salty, too oily, or too bland. The spicy dishes we've been getting our excellent. And while they don't have a traditional twice cooked pork, they do have excellent cumin lamb/beef and dry-spiced chicken! Next we plan to try the Dan Dan noodles and mapo tofu.The man who answers the phone is always really nice and helpful when I call in an order, and has helpful advice and suggestions, like when I accidentally order all spicy dishes (and I'm feeding kids always) or if I just ask (do you have something with this and this?). I love how friendly and helpful they are here!They have a dedicated easy to access parking lot which I love over downtown places, and the interior looks nice and comfy although I've only ever done takeout. Everything is always hot and fresh, we've never had anything taste stale or old like Peking did in the end on Las Positas. The wonton soup also was delicious on last visit! Plenty of flavor but not too much oil, and my kids loved the broth. I was excited to learn you can swap in almost any entrees you want for the family meal, making it a good deal!I especially love the whiteboard menu of specials at the door. This is how our old favorite restaurant back home always did it, and I'm now taking it to mean the mark of a good restaurant. Try something off that menu, it's got the best dishes!

I ordered the combination chow mein and Mongolian beef first time at this location. What I like about them. That is very family oriented. It was great, and customer service was great as I was greeted immediately as I walked into the door.

I'm not sure what has happened to this place. We've ordered consistently for years. We ordered several different items and they were all greasy tasting. My chicken was questionable and the tomato beef was slimy. The prices have also been increasing which we understand but let's have quality food for that price. Sadly, we will not return.

So I've been to this place, maybe a handful of times YEARS ago, and I've always gotten the Mongolian Beef dish... YEARS ago, it was super good, ate up my whole plate. Let's fast forward to today... Last night, we ordered a bunch of food. I, of course, got the Mongolian beef dish. It comes with steamed rice. The dish had good flavor, a ton of onions (just how I like), and a lot of beef. Now here's where my excitement dwindled. As I began to eat my meal, I started chewing.. and chewing... kept chewing and chewing and chewing. Why does 1 bite off this beef take so long to chew? Why does it have this rubbery gum texture? I had to spit out every single bite I put in my mouth bc all the pieces of beef were super friggin chewy! I had to ask my dad, "What part of the cow do they get THIS beef from??" Because I wanted to make sure this type of beef is either supposed to be rubbery like this or I'm just having a trippy moment, lol. So anyway, after like 7 tries on trying to chew and swallow this food, I finally gave up and just picked over the meat and ate the onions with rice instead. So.A star for the service and another star for the flavor. Will not return.

Thank you for being open for takeout during this pandemic! This place is solid for their food! Large portions and full of flavor. The guy at the counter is always nice and they are so quick to making the food! Also when we get home the food is still nice and hot.Our favorite go to dishes are:Black bean chickenMongolian beef (spicy)General Tso's chickenHong Kong style crispy noodles with vegetables The Hong Kong style crispy noodles come with the sauce in a separate container so that you can pour it over your noodles at home so that your noodles are not soggy. They also give your order in a box so that it is easier to hold and the sauce is in a tight sealed container so that you don't have to go Larry David on them ;) (Curb Your Enthusiasm with Larry David and the owner at the sushi restaurant lol)In the past if you dine in and order the mushu pork, the waiter will make your first mushu roll! It's fun to watch. Also if you order soup they will serve your first bowl. This keeps with tradition as the service usually received at Chinese restaurants.

Ordered vegetable fried rice, beef chow fun, and orange chicken for delivery. The food was prepared very quickly so that was great, however the actual food itself was bland. Each dish was lacking any flavor despite having plenty of sauce. Will not be back unfortunately.

This your average Chinese cuisine. It isn't Uncle Yus - it's good, local, and satisfies the craving when wanting take out. I've never dined in so I can't rate the actual restaurant, but the owner is super kind. Definitely a plus...

The lunch menu is extensive. Food was excellent. Service was good. Ambiance was okay but not great. The place is clean but not fancy. The lunch menu is priced at $11.95 (as of 12/14/2023) for each lunch on the menu. Portions are very generous and we are taking half of each plate home.

My family attended a wedding in nearby Pleasanton, California. Our hotel accommodations were in Livermore and after the event we went shopping and we became hungry.Not knowing the area, we started using Yelp to look around and saw a couple of prospects. They all started to look similar, but we remembered two days prior. We died at an Italian restaurant after the wedding rehearsal, Terra Mia. We remembered seeing China Villa, next-door, so it was a short drive to return to that location.The restaurant was clean and comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised that the menu had several dishes that we liked as our family favorites. We ordered the honey, walnut chicken, barbecue pork, fried rice, and barbecue pork chow mein I personally started out with a bowl of wor won ton soup , which was excellent!This is a Cantonese restaurant and the cuisine should be familiar to many. Everything was delicious and we can't wait to go back and try something else. Should we be in the Livermore area.
