    Chicken fried rice and shrimp fried rice
    Kendall R.

    I had really hoped for better from the reviews. The shop is located on a corner of Dickerson pike and I was very glad my boyfriend was with me, the area was sketchy and as a young woman I would not have felt safe going alone. The parking lot was swimming in smushed garbage and the restaurants had metal bars on their windows. This is not to fault the restaurant at all, but again, as a young female I would want to know these factors before coming here alone at night. The service was kind and quick which was greatly appreciated. The prices can't be beat, a quart and a pint of fried rice for around $13. As far as the taste... I couldn't even bring myself to save these leftovers. My chicken was slimy and squishy, but not pink at lessr. The rice was just yellow rice with no seasoning whatsoever and a few carrots and peas thrown in (maybe 15 of both total).

    Terrific inexpensive Chinese takeout. China Village a hidden gem with very friendly owners.

    Here on business in Nashville and always wanted to try local Chinese joints. This was closest to my hotel so I decided to try it. I ordered 2 food items : a hot and sour soup and a Singapore curry mai fun. The hot and sour soup was tasteless without any flavor at all. It is filled with ingredients yet the soup itself was very bland. Would not get this again . On the other hand , their Singapore curry mai fun was very good. Full of flavor but I should have asked for some hot oil to add heat to this. I understand the menu needs to cater to everyone. I get it. Still needs to be hotter:) live a little! :) Not bad for a fast meal . Will eat here again when in town .

We wanted…read morenoodles, and figured this was going to be just another noodle bar but to our surprise, it was an authentic Chinese restaurant. Nobody was inside, it was just the two of us. Very quiet. The owners spoke little English, but the food was amazing! I highly recommend going.

    The daughter was eager to bring me to Meet Noodles. She was so happy to have found a place that…read moreserved Chong Qing Broth and Sliced Noodles which she missed from her undergraduate years in Hawaii. It was an interesting restaurant as we walked in. The decor didn't come across as Chinese. I'm glad my daughter was familiar with the place because I would not have known to go to the back counter to order. I tried asking a couple things about the menu but could not understand the worker that well. It seemed that he couldn't understand me either because he initially put in the wrong orders -- my daughter caught it before we paid. Very reasonable prices. I ordered the Roast Duck Noodles with the Marinated Egg added. My daughter got her usual "Build a Bowl" of Chong Qing Broth, Sliced Noodles, Steak and Fried Egg. I thought I had ordered a Shrimp Wonton appetizer, but a bowl of soup arrived. After asking the worker about it, he just kept saying it was soup (I know), so I just left that alone. Overall quite delicious -- very authentic Chinese flavors. Excellent house made noodles. The depth of flavor in the broths was fantastic. The proteins were seasoned nicely and cooked well. The bok choy in my soup still had a nice bite. The fried egg was crispy on the edges and perfectly runny in the middle. Unfortunately, I found the marinated egg too salty. Service was minimal -- after ordering, the food comes out and that's it. If you need something, you have to get up to ask. No one checks in. The area wasn't busy when we arrived, so parking was very easy right in front. I'm told it does get tough during peak times. I would definitely return for the food, not the service.

The dipping sauce complements them perfectly, too.The service was fast, the staff was welcoming, and the entire dining experience was wonderful. I am already looking forward to my next visit!

I'd definitely recommend dining in - we went in on a rainy Thursday around 6 and it was already packed, but a table for two opened within about five minutes. Service is great and food hits the table quickly. We started with the fresh rolls, chicken and cabbage dumplings, and the tom kha. We added a side of peanut sauce, which was a game changer for the fresh rolls. The tom kha was a little tart for my taste, but was loaded with veggies that were cooked perfectly. The dumplings were super tender, and the fresh rolls are my favorite in town! For entrees, we got the pad thai and pad see-ew with rice noodles. Both absolutely delish, and we loved how the pad see-ew was prepared simply and traditionally with Chinese broccoli. Those portions are not to be reckoned with... we ended up taking two boxes full of noodles home! Their sticky rice with mango was our favorite bite of the night. The rice was the PERFECT texture, in a not-too-sweet sauce, topped with toasted coconut, and the juiciest, sweetest mango. What a treat.

I ordered their tom kha soup as an appetizer. The broth was good, but the vegetables in it were not cooked at all. It felt like eating a crunchy salad in your soup. Only a minute after ordering the soup we were asked to go ahead and order our main dishes. My pad thai was good, but there was nothing particularly special about it. I had just started eating my food when the server asked us if we wanted to-go boxes and how we were splitting the check. I looked at my phone, and it had only been 30 minutes since we had sat down that we were handed the check. I would have tried their dessert if I hadn't felt rushed out the door. Also, the restaurant wasn't busy/didn't have a wait on tables, so I'm not sure why they rushed us out.
