China Villa: Authentic Chinese Cuisine with Scenic Views and Quick Service

My go-to place when I want good Chinese. Always meets/exceeds my expectations. Also, excellent hot mustard.

update: just got delivery for the first time (to the main island, east end) and it was fast and the food arrived warm and delicious! even the crab and cheese fried wonton (ie crab rangoon) was still crispy thanks for a satisfying meal for my family on a weeknight!

Great food , the only reason not 5 stars is they close to early as do all the restaurants in Alameda , but I line the walnut fish, And the eggplant is so good in the Mongolian beef delicious

I was in the mood for Chinese. To Be more specific, I was craving Kung pao chicken. This place gets 4 stars because or the GORGEOUS views. The server was fast & the food came out super fast as well.. but it's that kinda of place where they serve your food and then let you be. The server or waitress never came to check on me while I was having my meal the food was OK not exceptional. But if you are looking for a beautiful scenery, this place has gorgeous views for sure.

Ambiance at this spot is fantastic. The restaurant is wedged into a corner right along one of the estuaries on Bay Farm Island in Alameda. We've been there many times and never had a problem getting a table by the water, even during lunch. This place is easy to get a seat at. And the service is quick - so if you are on a 1 hour lunch from work, no problemo. I usually get the Szechuan Chicken. Its a breaded chicken that's deep fried and then coated with a spicy sauce. I typically ask for the sauce to be not spicy, and they always oblige. It comes with rice, a small salad, and tea (upon request) at no extra charge. Parking is easy. Just park right in front of the Safeway, then walk along the water through the office complex to find it. Its right behind La Vals. The portions are a little small, but the quality is good. A- overall.

It's definitely taken us way too long to try this place out as we live really close by. One of the main reasons is we hardly see any frequent. We had a craving for Chinese so we gave it a go on a Sunday evening. We called in the order (try to avoid third parties so businesses get all the funds), food was ready in 20 minutes as said, and we were able to use a credit card. The seamless experience is important nowadays! We ordered a ton of food and know we will have leftovers for days. Huge portions. Stands outs were combination mushu and shrimp and lobster sauce. Both items that you don't always see on the menu. We liked the orange chicken too. I would skip the fried squid (thick pieces and chewy and not crispy) and the mixed vegetables. Not too flavorful. Hot and sour soup was just okay too. Average food but reliable and convenient.

*Open for outdoor dining and takeout* Service and Staff: The staff here were kind and efficient. They all wore masks. Came here on a Friday around 12:30pm for lunch and the service and wait were quick. The outdoor seating is nice as the deck sits on the water. The deck is also shared with the neighboring restaurants. Food: We ordered two lunch specials (lunch specials come with soup and salad). One was a fish and vegetable dish and one was a sweet and sour chicken dish. It wasn't the best Chinese food ever, but both dishes were good. The fish had a nice pepper seasoning and came with plenty of vegetables, while the chicken had the full sweet and sour taste and came with plenty of pineapple chunks. Miscellaneous: As this restaurant is tucked in a mini shopping area, there is plenty of parking.
