Taste of Village Chinese Restaurant

To Go Only!. I live in the area and have gone to this resturant many times, but now refuse to get anything but take out. I agree with a lot of the posts here, it is among the best chinese you can find in Portland. However, the service definetely turns people away. The location is a little dingy and dirty, though not too bad, but the servers are unwelcoming, rude and combative.

We once asked to subsitute the fried rice that came with a family meal for white steamed rice, completely willing to pay extra if needed, but the waitress merely sneered and shouted "we no subsitiutions". It's just a rude place, do not go there if your looking for good customer service. My adive it to get it for take out, beacuse it is good food, just horrible service.  View Less … View More

Service Issue. We walked from the RV park down the road based on the park's employee recomendation. The park employee told me if MSG was an issue with us just say so when ordering to avoid having it in our dinner. Having high blood pressure we ordered and asked for " no MSG or salt where possible".

We are from out of state and found both the quality and quanity of our dinner far better than any Chinese feed we have ever had. The server possibly the owner was rude, abrubt and displayed a control nastyness when she threw our leftovers in the take out containers. She ruined our dining experience. We will not visit on our return trip.  View Less … View More

Great Food, Good Service-Lacks Ambiance. This is a small family type Chinese restaurant. We had a party of nine on a Tuesday evening. Thank goodness we had reservations, because the place was full at 6:00 p.m. At first we were disappointed with the decor and furnishings, but when we tasted the food we were jubilant. It was well worth the drive from Tualatin. There was only one waitperson but she was friendly and efficient. None of the guests complained because the food was so good, hot and fresh. You must try the "Salt and Pepper Shrimp"!  View Less … View More

Good food; get it TO GO though as the STAFF can be rude. We've been going to this place for the past 12 months. There is one person there (not sure what her name is) that seems to be angry at the world. =) She doesn't treat paying customers very well. She should look for another job, or possibly just work in the kitchen? She's definitely not a people person. The rest of the staff has always been nice to us. We've eaten at many of the Chinese places on the east side of Portland, and this is one of our favorites. We always get the food to go though. We enjoy eating while watching a movie in our own living room anyway.  View Less … View More
