China Villa Restaurant

Finally, after 30 years, there is a very authentic Chinese restaurant in East County in Brentwood,ca. I have visited this restaurant 4 times and satisfied and pleased with what I ordered. I have ordered different styles of noodle dishes like pan fried chow mein to different entrees like beef, chicken, ribs, tofu, and vegetable dishes. Other than traveling to Concord or Walnut Creek for a good decent general Chinese (Northern or Southern) cuisine, this restaurant is now my number 1 Chinese restaurant in the area. I have other favorites for pure Northern, Southern, and Dim sum restaurants. This restaurant was opened 5 years ago and I have noticed this place for years, but thought it was another average Chinese eatery, glad I visited this place a few months ago and found they had dishes that are not offered at other nearby restaurants and they do cook authentic northern and southern Chinese dishes. I have asked for dish of food not in the menu and I was surprised they were able to comply and surprise me with a very good dish. I have traveled and visited Chinese restaurants in areas of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Vancouver, BC, Texas, New York and Florida, this restaurant is not the best, but it is very good for this area.

I looked on the website and decided the dishes off the menu displayed. Then calling in my order on the phone as a takeout, I was unable to get my order through correctly to the person on the phone. When picking up my order I was dismayed at the cost and tried to discuss the problem but the girl kept insisting her pricing was right. Checking things afterward found there was such a thing as an online order menu that had a whole different price structure and did not have some of the items on it that I had originally tried to order. So no wonder I ran into problems with the cashier. Am majorly disappointed and feel cheated by this marketing ploy. I will not rate this restaurant on food quality or any other criteria as the difference nearly $20 would have to put this food/restaurant in a superlative category which it does not deserve.
