Chinese Village - Santa Cruz

Had lunch a couple days ago of cream cheese wontons and veg chow mein. Restaurant was clean and staff were friendly. Veg chow mein had limited veggies, however, noodles themselves were very tasty.

A little funky with the service. Waitress was a bit cold. Food was plentiful but basic. I don't think the meat is made up there. Was like buffet food from overseas. When it got cold it was very chewy. But veggies are fresh. Price was good. But no alcohol even though it is on the menu?

Mongolian beef was 80% zucchini, 5% mushrooms, 5% peppers, and 10% beef. Veggies were horribly prepped. I might have been fine with my purchase had I not waited half an hour after arrival for food I ordered 45 minutes prior to arrival in a restaurant that had 1 table dining in and no other take out orders. I wont be returning. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Food was good, however they charged my card multiple times with different unauthorized amounts. Called the next day to rectify this with them and was hung up on multiple times. Had to just call the bank and have charges reversed. Sad because the food was good for what it was. Principle alone, I will not go back.

I tried this place because it had the best reviews for Chinese food near me. 110% would never go back. As soon as we walked in there was a lady sitting at a table eating, a kid in her pajama sweats taking an order at a table for someone else and a cook who looked right at us and said nothing. The lady sitting at the table looked at us a couple times before she came to help us and had an attitude the whole time. The pricing itself was disappointing. $10.99 for JUST orange chicken. I can go to any other Chinese place and they offer fried rice and chow mein with your entrees for $12. I said screw it and ordered the orange chicken anyways and my fiance orders a combination plate (they had only pork combo plates not chicken). We get our food and my orange chicken ended up being chicken with the orange sauce on the side for me to pour myself. The orange sauce was dark brown and super watery it was just a mess and for them to put it in a paper container just ended up more of a mess when it started leaking through the seems. My fiance opens his plate and they gave him a very small portion of sweet and sour pork (about 4-5 small shrived up prices of pork) and a pile of sweet and sour sauce.. and the rest of the plate was dominated with rice and chow mein. They also didn't have forks so we had to drive up the street and grab forks from KFC. Between the ladies attitude and the disappointment in the food we definitely won't be coming back
