  I've been going here for 10 years and it's great.  The hot and sour soup, garlic chicken, szechuan chicken, spring rolls and fried dumplings are great. Other typical dishes like General Tso's chicken and kung pao chicken are good too. The management is extremely friendly and their service is good. The Sunday lunch buffet is as good as you could ever do for $6.50.
  
  They use their own recipes (unlike those run of the mill Chinese restaurants). There's also an authentic Chinese menu.
  
  I can't remember how, but there is some connection between Village Wok and the old Cheng Du restaurant that used to be downtown. Best Chinese food in Auburn in my opinion.

  I am a Chinese, and to be honest, this place sucks from its food to its service. I would never go to this piece of shit again

  Despite having a few good experiences here before, this last visit was so bad I can only give one star. On weekdays with just the regular menu, this place functions really well with attentive waiters, cheap prices, and a lot of vegetarian options (which is often rare with smaller establishments like this). However, the place is SO small I can't imagine why they ever thought it was a good idea to host a Sunday lunch buffet.
  We happened to come in during buffet hours by accident, and of course it's super crowded, but we're willing to wait for a table. However, for some reason, the waitress decides to put us at a 4 person table when it's only the two of us and there's a 2 person table available. We shrug it off and figure they'll just make larger parties who come in later wait for us to finish.
  Nope. Another couple comes in and they're seated at the SAME table as us. We're literally shoulder to shoulder with total strangers. It was incredibly awkward and uncomfortable, and would've been avoided if they'd just cleaned off the two person table.  
  But onto the food itself. My boyfriend came for just one dish so he asks for the regular menu. They tell him they can't do the regular menu because they're busy, and to "please please just get the buffet". Alright then, no problem. We get to the buffet. There's basically no food left. Maybe two out of ten trays have anything in them. We get a few bites and wait and wait and wait for the trays to be refilled, but they never are. They don't even offer the kinds of dishes we came for in the first place. We're starving, squeezed into the same table with random strangers, and have been more than patient, so my boyfriend refuses to pay for this crap and we leave. A waitress chases after us and makes him talk to the boss, who keeps asking him over and over if we ate anything as if we just gorged ourselves and left without paying. Sorry but three bites of stale tofu is not worth the entire buffet cost for two people. Still, they barely understand what my bf is trying to say, and because he doesn't want to make a scene, they shake him down into paying for one buffet price plus the drink he ordered (a Diet Coke, which somehow ended up being $3?)
  We're never personally coming back here again, but if anyone reading this wants to try it, just make sure to NEVER come on a Sunday afternoon.

  By far the best Chinese food in Auburn. Warm, friendly service and a clean atmosphere is the reason we come back time and time again. Can't beat their $4.99 lunch specials. They deliver to North Auburn, where 95% of restaurants in Auburn refuse to deliver.

  My family and I went to Village Wok tonight. Overall, we were very underwhelmed. The flavors were not good. My daughters got sweet and sour chicken. The red sauce wasn't very thick like we've seen at other places. Fried rice had a weird look to it. Almost like rice we have at Mexican restaurants. My daughter commented that it smelled like her grandmothers house. Weird. I had the general chos chicken. Not desirable. Didn't leave a good taste in my mouth. One of my daughters and said "at least you can't mess up white rice. " so I'm assuming it was pretty good. The wait staff was pretty rude as well. Wouldn't really answer my questions about the menu. So to sum it up, white rice was yummy, nothing else was.
