China Village Restaurant - Greenwood, Nova Scotia

Exactly what I expect from China village. Enjoyed it as usual. The buffet was good. It is middle of the road canadianized chinese food. The price increase has made the buffet a little bit less worthwhile unless you really stuff yourself, versus getting a big plate or a combo with extra sides. Either way still enjoy it in spite of the increase.

Good staff. I enjoy the variety of the buffet. The previous time I got the Imperial Chicken and it was simply amazing and very filling. The buffet is really only worth it if you're going to eat two heaping playes or more.

Photos are of the buffet food i ate for 24+tax and a tip for the attentive server. Very pleasant staff.

My only criticism is the spring rolls are probably the worst I've tasted at any restaurant. I've given them a few shots and for some reason they always tastes bad but I don't recall them tasting bad a few years ago. I enjoy everything else there besides the spring rolls. Don't let this criticism dissuade you. It's one small item

My favorite Chinese food to date but the poor waitress was run off her feet both times I've been there and she's so nice. Downside is cross contamination if you happen to have an allergy or specific diet be cautious I ordered all veggie dishes and found chunks of chicken in it which I didn't love to see but picked them out.

I recently fell in love with this restaurant. Started bringing my friends and family here. We Travel for over an hour just to come enjoy this restaurant.
That changed today as I went in with my friend. I ordered off the menu for myself, and ordered a takeout order as well. My friend got buffet. As I’m eating, my friend is up at the buffet. One of the owners was standing by the cash, kept looking in my direction. I did not think anything of this. A few moments later, the waitress comes over to me and says the owner saw me eating a chicken ball off of my friends plate and that if I eat off her plate from the buffet, I’ll need to pay extra.
I’m appalled as I don’t find it’s right to accuse me of eating off of my friends plate when I did not.
I ordered my own plate, and I ordered a take out order . I did give MY egg roll to my friend. When I told the waitress I certainly did not eat off of my friends plate, she seemed to really not believe me.
I didn’t appreciate this at all. Being watched like a criminal from across the room and then accused of something I didn’t do.

Not a welcoming feeling.

My first time but wont be the last. Food was delicious. Lovely fresh vegetables and nice presentation, very reasonably priced. Did not take long to receive our order. It seemed they were short staffed and server was working very hard. Generous serving too.

Downgrading my review from 5 stars to 2 stars because i had ordered out and was told 15 minutes and it took them an entire hour to get their food to me. I wasn't called at all or notified, and i thought something happened to the driver. Not impressed.

Great food, hot and a lot of it. The won ton soup was delicious and super rich. The noodle dish is Beef noodles. We also had chicken balls, chicken fried rice and a egg roll.

The price of Chicken Fried Rice and Beef fried rice at this restaurant are the exact same price, yet when ordering a combination plate, they charge $2 if you prefer beef fried rice instead of chicken fried rice This is greatly taking advantage of people. They can't say that they have to make it special per order, either. I worked for several Chinese restaurants and know that the meats and rice are made in advance and thrown into the wok, as needed. Some places don't deserve my business and this is one of them. This "apparent policy" leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I for one, don't believe in this kind of business practice.

I have used this restaurant before but will never go again.
The food is okay but the attitude of the management is very poor.
Any reviews that are high on this restaurant are people that didn’t have an issue no matter how small.
They don’t handle or deal with problems well.
I had a large order for take out and they missed an item from it.
When I let them know it was missing they said it was my order that had been placed incorrectly or gave the implication I was trying to get something I hadn’t ordered and not their fault.
We are talking a sweet a sour chicken and rice. I had just paid for the 259.00 order!

Buffet was good when it was open. A bit small but had the main staple options.

Food in general is good and portions are plentiful except the chow mein which was once ordered, didn't have noodles which was very odd. Otherwise, it is generally good. Decently clean for a Chinese restaurant and the wait staff are friendly.
