China Villa — Restaurant in Rocklin

Extensive menu. How about expensive menu. The honey walnut shrimp for the cost a very small portion. At most restaurants 3 times the size at half the price, the portion at Panda Express 4 times as much.(Just to give you a reference), menu states $17.00 but at $20+ I guess takeout is more (huh) you can keep it. We ordered several items enough for a little left overs. the lemon chicken was horrible the worst. The orange chicken good but a lot of fillers as in oranges and orange peels. The egg rolls expensive double the price of any restaurant I’ve been to and horrible. The fried rice big portion and ok. We came from the Bay Area where there are exceptional Chinese restaurants. So we read a few reviews, I was expecting a good experience. I get prices go up. But Panda Express was 100% better than this garbage they served. We did the take out. $137.00 for a normal $60-$80 anywhere else. The fortune cookies where stale and to thick, the crab fried wontons were soggy and poorly made. Ok I’ll stop. I will never waste my time or money ordering food from here. Oh yeah the next day I ate a bit of that big portion mixed fried rice left over. Now I know why it must of been the last of it. because I immediately became sick, throwing up and the other end the d word all day and night. Oh and asked for extra hot mustard well they didn’t put it in the order in the first place. We received the rolling of the eyes. So bad food and bad attitudes Maybe we just hit a bad day. But for me you get one shot at $137,00 expense garbage with attitude. Never again. Take your...

MUST READ. Although the food is delicious, the customer service and hospitality deserves 0 stars for the reasons below.

First, when we arrived they all decided to go on lunch while leaving the restaurant open. The restaurant sat my family down at a table and then the waitress had the audacity to ask us if we wanted to wait while they went on lunch at 3:30—really. We waited 25 to 30 minutes.

Second, my wife and I had to ask for our water refilled multiple times while other customers received a much larger cup and received many refills without asking.

To top it all off, one of the managers or waitresses look over my shoulder either trying to figure out if they should pick up our plates or to see if I had signed our check—rude, disrespectful and perhaps racist!!

To conclude, prior to moving to Southern California, my wife and I visited the China Villa Restaurant multiple times—eating well and feeling warmly welcomed. However, after returning to Northern California, this restaurant made a complete 360. My wife and I felt singled out and...

This place was really busy when we arrived on a weeknight, and we were escorted back to a table quickly. Great!

From there, things didn't go as well. It took a really long time for our orders to be taken, and everything after continued to be slow. We could have napped while waiting for our food, and then nothing came out together. The soup with my boyfriend's combination meal didn't come out for at least 10 minutes, but really I think it was longer. Several minutes later I got the bowl of soup that I ordered as my meal. Another long gap, and finally his plate arrived.

We had been finished with our meals for some time when my boyfriend approached the cashier to ask about a check. Three different employees had angry words in Chinese before we actually got our check and could pay.... And leave.

The food was fine, not great, just fine. If it had been better I'd consider returning to see if they had an off night. Not worth it, though. There are plenty of better Chinese restaurants...
