Lunch special: honey walnut prawns…read more The honey walnut prawns were plump and had a good bite. Batter was light. Sauce was light. 5/5 The chow mein and fried rice that was part of the lunch special was fine. Noodles were thick and chewy which I like, but flavor was bland on both. 3/5 Dinner versions of chow mein and dried rice are probably better as they have specific types while the lunch are the generic versions. Will definitely come again because the shrimp texture was perfect.

10/10 hands down best Chinese restaurant I've been to. I haven't had good Chinese food since 2008!!…read more The food is absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection with mesmerizing scents hitting you in the face. The chicken has a perfectly crisp to sauce ratio; not at all too dry and not soggy in the slightest. Fried rice was delicious! Everything was absolutely perfect. The service, was absolutely wonderful. Our server was extremely respectful, quick, informative and so kind. I enjoyed the ambiance as well, they were playing K-pop. However, I must admit I wasn't much of a fan of the Thai iced tea, it was a bit too dry for me if that makes any sense?? But if you aren't huge on sweets it's the perfect drink for you My bf and I will certainly be coming here often! I highly recommend this Chinese restaurant

The prices are a bit high for my liking, but maybe this is a norm out here in Livermore. We ordered 3 items: Combo fried rice, Orange Chicken, and Chicken Corn Soup. Spent about $50. The food would have been only enough for 2 people. Food was good, soup was a bit salty and had a bit too much cornstarch. Orange chicken was delicious, I would go back for this anytime. The fried rice was okay, a little too dry, but not too bad. Overall the food was good and service was quick. We didn't wait too long for our order.

We had dinner at Canton Village in Livermore, California, and it was a wonderful experience. My…read moreaunt, who lives in Livermore, brought us there since it's one of her favorite restaurants, and now I understand why. The three of us shared the House Special Dinner, which was a fantastic spread. It included fried prawns, egg rolls, barbecued spare ribs, Mandarin orange beef, prawns with snow peas, honey walnut prawns, and house fried rice. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The honey walnut prawns were especially memorable, and every dish had great balance and taste. The variety made it perfect for sharing, and we left very satisfied. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the overall dining experience was excellent. It's not exactly light on the wallet--the price is $32.95 per person as of March 2026--but considering the amount and quality of food you receive, it felt like a very good value. I would absolutely recommend Canton Village to anyone looking for delicious Chinese food in Livermore.

I know things are changing in the Tri-Valley but it's really hard to find authentic Cantonese cuisine in the area. Mandarin Delight is the real deal. Tasty food and huge portions at reasonable prices. We met, Bo, the energetic friendly owner who was nice enough to share his personal history in the business. I was born and raised in SF. This place is reminiscent of restaurants I ate at with my buddies during my hey day. The server was very pleasant. We'll be back in spite of the drive.

It's kind of pricey, especially compared to the original location in Oakland, but the food is authentic Hong Kong/Cantonese style cuisine. This will definitely satisfy your carb/MSG cravings, lol! We got takeout for a weekday lunch. This is our usual order now: Fresh sliced fish porridge, $14.95 - they always do a great job with this. This is the Cantonese equivalent of chicken noodle soup. The texture is just right, there are plenty of fish pieces, and the flavor is classic, right down to the ginger slivers. Shrimp rice noodle roll $9.50 - DH's favorite dim sum item. It is tender, and the shrimp are large and crispy. Comes with the classic soy-based sauce. Crab meat braised E - fu noodle $24.95 - DH's favorite noodle. This type of noodle is very soft and absorbs all of the flavors from the crab pieces and sauce. Great choice for seafood lovers! Shrimp silky egg chow fun $24.95 - little one's favorite. This one just has such a great combination of flavors. The velvety "gravy" really ties everything together and makes it go down smoothly. This one has flat noodles (cheung fun), like the classic beef chow fun. Comfort food for sure! Sautéed Chinese green $22.95 - this looks to be pan seared choy sum. Seems kind of expensive, but they actually pack a lot of greens into the box. They don't have the veggie clay pot anymore, Barbecue pork $15.95 - they do a pretty good job with this one too. The flavors are really good and interestingly enough it comes with these little beans on the bottom. Pork tends to be a little bit on the lean side. Portion size seems okay. We didn't get the beef chow fun because we didn't need that much food. But that one is a classic here and they usually do a great job with it too. Food is usually ready very quickly and everything was steaming hot. Staff are efficient and friendly. Give it a try; this place is consistently good and I highly recommend it!

We've fallen in love with this place since someone recommended them to us for their Salt and Pepper…read morePrawns. We love that they have Szechuan cuisine as well as American Chinese, and it's not too salty, too oily, or too bland. The spicy dishes we've been getting our excellent. And while they don't have a traditional twice cooked pork, they do have excellent cumin lamb/beef and dry-spiced chicken! Next we plan to try the Dan Dan noodles and mapo tofu. The man who answers the phone is always really nice and helpful when I call in an order, and has helpful advice and suggestions, like when I accidentally order all spicy dishes (and I'm feeding kids always) or if I just ask (do you have something with this and this?). I love how friendly and helpful they are here! They have a dedicated easy to access parking lot which I love over downtown places, and the interior looks nice and comfy although I've only ever done takeout. Everything is always hot and fresh, we've never had anything taste stale or old like Peking did in the end on Las Positas. The wonton soup also was delicious on last visit! Plenty of flavor but not too much oil, and my kids loved the broth. I was excited to learn you can swap in almost any entrees you want for the family meal, making it a good deal! I especially love the whiteboard menu of specials at the door. This is how our old favorite restaurant back home always did it, and I'm now taking it to mean the mark of a good restaurant. Try something off that menu, it's got the best dishes!

It's an order-sit down and eat kinda spot, which is fine, but I like that the clientele seem to get that, so they don't linger. Perfect ambiance for this type of meal.

They do things right here.

I don't even know where to begin other than to say how disappointed I am with this restaurant…read more While I was seated and looking over the menu, a worker who I believe was a chef came up to my table, pointed at the beef noodle soup, and told me it was 50% off. My friend and I heard the same thing! However, when it came time to pay, I was charged full price. When I brought it up and even pointed out the worker, the staff claimed they had no idea what I was talking about. At that point, I just let it go but honestly, it didn't get any better from there. Every dish we ordered was bland, lacked flavor, and wasn't consistent at all. To make matters worse, I noticed something concerning near the cashier. They were refilling the water jug using what looked like a used plastic container that didn't appear clean or sanitary, which was really off-putting. Overall, this experience was disappointing from start to finish, both in terms of service and food quality.
