Chinese Village in Stirling

Nice restaurant, clean and friendly staff. We enjoyed our meals. Reasonably priced

My wife and I both had Special Fried Rice accompanied with a tub of curry sauce. Very tasty indeed! Contrary to previous reviews, I thought it was good value at £8 for each main dish plus £2.90 for the curry sauce. Jim Genuinely friendly service and a very welcoming feel to the place. It was a takeaway we had, but you have to go into the restaurant to order, which had a pleasing ambience. Next time we're in Callander I think we'll dine in!

Food was brilliant and staff were very helpful and kind x

On entering the place was cold with no atmosphere,the restaurant lacked character tables very plain paper napkins no glasses on tables,no water offered,staff not in proper uniform,one looked like she was in her pjs,felt very watched and stood over,clothes handing around on doors to dry and some areas very cluttered and unkempt,on a positive food was ok,but for a dull and boring restaurant was way over priced,if I was to use here again it would be for takeaway,on existing don’t use the toilets they aren’t very clean

First time. Soup and a dish. Enjoyed both. Service was very good and the meal was tasty. Recommended and will be returning.

A very well served dinner with delicious and tasty food made our night in Callander unforgettable as a recommendation of our air bnb host Gavin!

Fantastic takeaway well recommended

Takeaway is such a great deal, it costs less than £20 for two dishes. The chicken wing and squid are still piping hot and we have a satisfying meal in hotel room, would recommend the chicken wing!

This was the first time I felt racially discriminated against in the UK. The food is only at street food stall level. The service attitude towards Chinese compatriots is very poor, the lights are dim, the chairs and other facilities are dirty, and the tables are not wiped clean. The taste is not authentic. The service attitude towards Chinese people is very poor, the lighting is dim, the chairs and other facilities are dirty, and the tables are not well cleaned. I feel extremely uncomfortable with the way the waiters in this restaurant treat people of different skin colors differently!!!!!!!!

Atmospheric Chinese restaurant in an old building with respectable room height. Friendly staff and fast service. The food was really delicious 😋

Pretty pricey, but the food was good and the portions were quite big. The service was friendly and the food was served quickly. The decor was a bit tired looking, but it seemed clean enough.

We ordered Singapore noodles and they were decent not to spicy with a good mixtures in them of char sui and prawns chicken and ham we had the rice noodles we also also had mini vegetable spring rolls which were OK.

By of chance we went to Chinese village in calendar food was really lovely service was great food was decently priced the restaurant was very quiet for lunch time nonetheless it's a nice big restaurant. If you struggle with stairs the it's not for you as it's upstairs and there's a few. If I was to criticise anything and it's minor then I'm suprised they don't do a lunch set menu but overall worth a visit

Had meal delivered and was impressed with quality and quantity. Black bean was very good, and chips and prawn crackers also very nice.

Lovely meal. Restaurant could do with a good clean & tidy up. Staff could maybe attempt a smile now & again.

Had a takeaway for dinner this evening and don't really understand the poor reviews. Food was extremely quick and arrived piping hot, fresh and delicious. On the slightly more expensive side but would reccomend.

A mushroom foo yuen in London is £8 whereas here it was £12.50! Other dishes over priced. Quality was average. Mixed vegetables was overcooked and soggy. All the dishes we ordered were basically stir fried and yet it wasn't really up to standard. The service was good though, the Chinese man who took our order was very polite and the Scottish lady waitress was extremely hardworking, friendly, helpful and attentive, for that reason we left a generous tip and also to help the local business. Only the quality of the food needs to be improved to match the price.

For the second year, we have had a takeaway from Chinese Village. Ordered for collection via phone and was ready within 5 minutes of our arrival. Food is outstanding and there is plenty of it. The restaurant itself is exceptionally welcoming as are the staff. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

WORST FOOD EVER!!! This Chinese food was absolutely disgusting 🤢 the sweet and sour chicken had hard bit in the chicken and wasn’t edible. Chill beef stunk so bad ever felt sick. I will be expecting a full refund. Food was shameful, so gross 🤮

Very overpriced sitting in for just okay food.

Terrible service - don’t waste your time and money here

Ordered takeaway, lovely food. Will definitely be back.

Orderd a take-away, friendly staff on the phone, was ready to collect at time stated, we had a 8mile drive, food was still piping hot, so fresh, tasty and my children and myself all said it was one of the best Chinese meals we have had, definitely eat here again, compliments to the chef, thank you 😊

ordered takeaway & it was super speedy! staff were very friendly & spring rolls were fantastic!! we also got salt and pepper chicken & chips & fried rice & all was very lovely!

Please ignore all negative comments about the food cooked by this restaurant. We had chicken curry, king prawn in black bean sauce, crispy shredded chicken and sides. The food was amazing. We had it as a takeaway and it did not disappoint. Don’t get me wrong the guy that took my order needs to put a smile on his face as was not very welcoming but honestly food faultless.

A few reasons for the score: 1. We got takeaway from this restaurant two years ago and it was, hand on heart, the best Chinese takeaway I’d had in years, fast forward two years and it was pretty poor. From a 10/10 Kung po chicken to a 3/10. 2. They missed two portions of chips from our order, which was for the kids (who were devastated) and we only realised when we had travelled a hour ten miles back to where we were staying. I messaged them and they did not apologise. 3. No means of ordering online. This is 2024.

We've just had takeaway from Chinese Village Callander, and I can honestly say, " this has to be the best Chinese meal we've had in a long time " The place is under new management. We were served within 15 mins of ordering which is second to none service. Also, ( and this is the big plus fir me ) the rice dishes are served in the classic silver foil tray, which I much prefer to the plastic ones ) I highly recommend trying Chinese Village, if you haven't already, and if we're ever in Callander again, then yes, we'll be going back 100%

Great food, good value and excellent service

Lovely fresh made food good sized portions. Good choice

Tasteless food and was probably one of the worst chinese takeaways i have had! Also the salt and pepper chips ordered were reheats and did not have any taste to them at all. Food was also pretty expensive very disappointing

Tasty food delivered on time will use again thanks....

Arrived and asked to sit down and wait. After 15 minutes we concluded we had been forgotten about plus it looked like the kitchen was on some kind of panic. People lucky enough to get a table appeared to be waiting for ever. At this point we have up, left, and got fish and chips elsewhere.

Good food, value for money and friendly staff but premises could do with refurbishment. Tables clean but chairs and carpet dirty.

Yes, went for carry out (it's upstairs in the restaurant): there were two ladies in front of me ordering and a middle aged women came over and asked me my order which I began, when...lo! the phone rang whereupon I was ignored and the call answered. At least she then directed me to the other member of staff. I had made the actual effort to go to the premises but was promptly disrespected and ignored for persons unknown out in the wild. Smaller portions and increased price over what I normally pay in the town means the food is about double the cost (£22.95 for one special curry with boiled rice and one beef curry with fried rice). It was served in good time and tasty.

Lovely meal, great service even if a bit pricey, but thoroughly enjoyed by everyone!

We bought a takeaway from this Chinese last night as we are staying in Callander for a few days. We ordered the 10 inch Salt and pepper box. It was hands down the worst thing I’ve ever received from a Chinese takeaway. The chips were soggy and didn’t have any seasoning. The chicken was dry. My stomach was rock hard afterwards. Other items on the menu may be much better but I would not recommend the salt and pepper box at all.

Food beautiful but a bit pricey

We had a takeaway recently from the Chinese Village in Callander. We ordered the 8 inch salt and pepper box which contained chicken balls, salt and pepper chicken, spare ribs, spring rolls, salt and pepper chips and sweet and sour sauce. This was very tasty. We also ordered chicken satay on skewers, chicken noodle soup and crispy seaweed. We ate it all and I would recommend this Chinese restaurant if you ever visit Callander. It fed 3 of us for £27 which I thought was good value for money.

This was our second visit and we really enjoyed it again. The food is hot and fresh and the service is good.

The food was great. Service was good. Would get takeout next time since dine in food was more expensive.

Went here on a Saturday afternoon the town was very busy but this place was dead no smell of food at all no one else at any of the tables . We asked if they did a business lunch answer was no what a shame we looked at the menu it was a case of you would have to order everything separate would have been an expensive lunch so sorry to say we walked back out wouldn't recommend this place ( lots of stairs to climb to get in and out as well )

Food was delicious and the staff were lovely. Portion sizes were more than enough. The interior was a bit outdated and the staircase area leading up was a bit unkept… but never judge a book by its cover, the politeness of the staff and the quality of the food more than made up for it.

Good food. Nice atmosphere. The service was a little less than nice but no real problems. Just very short and inattentive.

Awful. Just awful. Food missing from order, staff on phone unhelpful. Food bland and barely edible. Will never order again. Worst place to order in Callander. Avoid

We Usually get a take away and its always amazing, I would recommend the Singapore chow mein, also the breast of chicken curry 🍛 curry sauce is to die for , its always excellent and service when collecting is great , I would recommend to anyone

Just ordered our regular Chinese takeaway for a family guest. Was expecting the delivery to be around one hour, and after one hour asked the restaurant if the food would be still delivered, they assured me the driver was on the way. At one hour and 15, I called the restaurant and asked if the lady could kindly check with driver how long he might be. She then said he’s on the way, he’s on the way and insisted even though I had politely requested if she could check with the driver. She then proceeded to put the phone down on me. Second call was answered by same lady and left on the counter with no one talking. As the only Chinese in Callander maybe they accept this kind of rudeness for their local customers. I however, won’t be ordering from Chinese Village, Callander again.

Food was lovely, massive portions. Would have preferred if there was a lunch menu/smaller portion available. As this was lunch time we went in and had spent more than planned too.

As brian said, totaly shocking service. Told 45 minute, then after an hour and a half wait. We phoned and asked where our food was and told it would be ANOTHER 45 minutes. Ended up at the tasty fry. Very friendly and served right away and food was excellent AVOID this chinese place. They couldn’t run a raffle.

We come to this restaurant everytime we are on holiday. The food is really nice and tasty. Worth paying for. Service is quick and staff are friendly and welcoming. This time we were at the restaurant last Sunday and Thursday. If you like Chinese I would recommend this restaurant. 👍👍👍

This was my favourite Chinese. I travelled 1hr 45 minutes to this restaurant. I won't be back. I had a carpet beetle crawling on my place mat then I looked in the windowsill next to me to see more.

Terrible service… look elsewhere.

We have just ordered from here the service was Brill and the food fantastic and really good portions would highly recommend

Wow really nice Chinese, really fast delivery and food was fantastic, definitely use again when in Callander again, totally recommend

Très bon restaurant! De nombreuses options végétariennes, les nouilles étaient parfaites. Le personnel est très gentil et très accueillant :-)

The food was really nice however it's very pricey for a Chinese and I'd have to remortgage my house if I lived and ate here all the time. The service was good and the restaurant is not like any I've been in before and I liked it so yeah worth a visit just do it on payday 🤣

Duck really nice rest of the food average.

Called here for a takeaway last week whilst away for a break. I always find that Chinese never compare to your own local, but this place broke that theory. We ordered 3 meals beef and blackbean, chicken vermicelli, chicken and prawn in oyster sauce with cashew nuts (they forgot to put the nuts in hence the 4 star sorry but got to be honest) salt and pepper chips and spring rolls. We were there about 5ish parking is a public car park at the rear. and only had to wait about 15 min for our order. It was cash only but there was a tesco across the road with an ATM so no issue. As said food was really tasty and plenty of it. Beef was tender and flavours good. The salt and pepper chips were really nice, none of it was greasy. Definitely a place I'd visit again if I was in the area. Wish it was closer now I know its better than my local.

Fantastic takeaway of the highest standard delivered to strathyre lodges very quickly.

Food was good but was disappointed to find out we paid double the price for everything because we dined in. £62 for 2 soups, 2mains and 2 bottles of beer. Next time will takeaway.

Lovely food, takeaway seemed busy enough. Staff friendly, but the restaurant Is freezing, small heater directed at our table but not enough to warm us up. I understand times are hard, it's a large restaurant, if you can't heat it, partition part off and heat that and use that for customers.

Stumbled upon this restaurant. It's a good place with very pleasant staff who looked after us. The food was lovely but twice the price we expected to pay.

What a fantastic discovery, who knew that you could find such truly wonderful Chinese cuisine in Callander. The staff at Chinese Village were charming and very helpful when I ordered over the phone, my order was ready on time and I wished I'd stayed to eat in the restaurant as the atmosphere was fantastic, very clean and nicely decorated. The food was delicious - having spent time in China I have a high bar! Extremely flavoursome whilst not being greasy - the most common mistake, great value and generous portion sizes. I would recommend Chinese Village to anyone who asked without hesitation, and wish this fantastic establishment all the best.

Thought we would get a takeaway from this place as we were staying in the area. Best Chinese we’ve had in a long time. We opted for the salt and pepper box and it was great for the price. Food was tasty and not greasy like other chinese restaurants we’ve been to before. Would definitely recommend and visit again

The lady who looked after us was lovely. I loved the decor inside, it's really unique. We both thought the food was really tasty. We shared black bean veggie chicken and salt and pepper tofu and both were great. Food came quickly and we received a free calendar as it was a few days before new year ❤️

Worth this visit, my partner & I had a lovely meal here on our visit to Callander. I would highly recommend.

Tasty but pricey. £65 for two Chinese meals, I'll give it a miss next time and have a pizza.

Most expensive take away I have ever had! Light on portion too. May think twice on going back , wouldn’t say I would recommend 😞

Food is just ok.. not great Service is good Setting and atmosphere is good

We always get take out from this Chinese. A speedy service, short wait. Food is always hot and delicious.

Muy buena carta con muy buen producto, pero unas escaleras empinadas y malas para las personas con movilidad reducida

Was here on holiday for a week and wish i had ordered a takeaway before. Great tasty food although a bit saltier than i would have liked hence the 4 stars. Defo worth a visit if you're in town.

On arrival staff where very abrubt, the carpet was sticky and dirty, damp patches all over walls, moldy and cold, ceiling dripping. I really don't know why health and safety haven't shut this place down.i will be calling health and safety. This is a enter at own absolutely FILTHY

If ida wanted a vegetable curry I wld have asked for one. I asked for curry sauce & onions... AND certainly not peas.. think this dump needs a visit from the environmental health.. the chicken also tasted sour ..yeeuk. won't be back at this soup kitchen...oh ps the ribs are good.... Well maybe the peas were put in by mistake.. since you say u were very busy.. I don't tell untruths I give an accurate & true opinion in every review & I think your customer services skills are deplorable calling a customer a liar.

Friendly and efficient. Good quality food at a fair price.

Food was beautiful. Staff brilliant. And we have a disabled dog. With us that they fully accommodated. I will be back.

Quite expensive, but tasty food

Excellent quality meal with fantastic staff.

Just dreadful in every way possible. Avoid.

The house special sweet and sour might be my new favourite!

Good food and staff were very helpful, I wasn't expecting the restaurant to be as good as it actually was, three of us ate there, one being a vegetarian and we all really enjoyed our food and all was eaten, the waitress that served us was very helpful, we would have eaten there again only this was our last night in the area, well worth a stop.

Super impromptu find 😊 Super tasty, good portions and fair pricing. It got quite busy so I'd recommend booking. First floor only so not good if you can't manage stairs. Ladies loo is downstairs, gents upstairs.

The food was lovely, the staff where friendly. We turned up at 8pm on a Saturday, they served us but we did feel like we had turned up late despite people being served well after 9:30pm. Nice chinese food.

Beautiful crispy chicken in batter with sweet and sour sauce. Soft fried noodles was cooked to perfection (some takeaway/restaurants) tends to have it drenched in oil. Will definitely come back again

The restaurant is at the top of steep stairs. When we were going up there was an elderly woman who was really struggling to get up them. The restaurant itself was in dire need of a makeover. We were seated next to a window the window ledge was thick with dust and the inside of the window was very dirty and grubby. The red carpets were stained throughout. We ordered sui mei for a starter which came on a plate with nothing else. Most places put it along with a small salad and dipping sauces. We had to ask for soya sauce and were handed a bottle of I don't know what because there was no label. The main courses were fine. The staff were friendly. I would describe this place as a no frills restaurant. We were disappointed and would certainly not recommend or return.

Lovely inside and out.food was top notch.

Had a lovely meal. Food was delicious. Service was excellent.

Nice and frienfly staff and the food was delicious and very good. We orderd combination of noodles with vegetables and prawns and rice with beef and curry! Very good choice and we recommened to eat here!!

Absolutely the best Chinese Restaurant in Central Scotland. Great food and friendly staff. What more could you ask for

Good old fashioned Chinese decor, food was lovely , however the restaurant was very cold which made it difficult to relax..

Came up from Cumbernauld, not disappointed food was delicious, piping hot and great size of portions. Staff very friendly. Will definitely be back again. Highly recommend!😋

First time ordering from here, our order was a pick up and it was very and the staff were very nice. Our food was amazing, very nice indeed, we would eat/order from here again.

Excellent delivery from the lady taking the order to the young man delivering my order, my apologies to the young delivery gent I forgot to give him a tip I will ammend that. P.S. And the meal was tops to.

Excellent delivery, we were staying in Invertrosachs estates and food was delivered hot, fresh and tasty. Absolutely brilliant food delivered on time and hot. A great delivery service and would highly recommend. Food was outstanding.

Best Chinese dinner I've had for 20 yrs..Must have a traditional chef as it was superb.Decor and carpet dated,but I went for food,not disappointed.Went next night as well.

Visited this evening and ordered the 10 piece salt and pepper box for £17.50. The restaurant was very clean and well presented inside. Was met by a very pleasant lady and gentleman who took the order which was ready within about 15 minutes. Despite a journey back to Lochearnhead which took about 20 minutes the food was still hot. We both thought the food was absolutely delicious and large portions for two people. The chicken balls, salt n pepper chicken, spring rolls and ribs were delicious as was the fluffy fried rice. The curry sauce was a large one and was nice and spicy but not too much not to forget the spicy chips which we're plentiful and lovely. I forgot to order prawn crackers and they gave me some to take but wouldn't take the money for them which was a lovely gesture. Overall very happy with everything and would definitely visit again.

Lovely place. The owner was really nice & friendly. No food unfortunately through the week at the moment. Serve food at weekends. He is looking for a good chef though. Toilets are on the same level as the bar. Car park at rear plus outdoor seating area. Now called the Riverside.

Food was good but missing rice.

Amazing food would definitely recommend

One of the best Chineses' I've had. Great going with more people so you can try more. The sweet sour and black bean sauce were my favourite. Chow mein and fried rice were great. The duck bao buns were absolutely superb and probably could have eaten 10 of them but would have filled myself up. Love the atmosphere and staff!
