About Village Kitchen家湘味
Village Kitchen家湘味, located at 4720 Clairemont Mesa Blvd in San Diego, California, is a Chinese Restaurant that specializes in Hunan cuisine. Hunan food is known for its bold and often spicy flavors.
Based on recent customer reviews, opinions on the food at Village Kitchen家湘味 appear to be mixed. One customer found the Sour and Spicy Shredded Potato to be plain and not recommendable. In contrast, the Chicken Intestines and Hunan Stir Fried Pork were noted for their significant spiciness and were considered good when eaten with white rice. However, the same reviewer pointed out that both these spicy dishes were also very salty, requiring the consumption of a lot of water.
This reviewer also mentioned that many people have recommended Village Kitchen家湘味 as the best Chinese restaurant in San Diego. However, based on their initial experience with three dishes, they suggested that either the Chinese restaurant competition in San Diego might be less intense than expected, or that a larger sample size of dishes would be needed for a more comprehensive review.
Another customer reported having four dishes, all of which they found to be very salty, leading to their decision not to return. The only dish they found palatable in terms of saltiness was the shrimp fried rice.
While some may consider Village Kitchen家湘味 to be a top Chinese restaurant in the area, recent feedback indicates that certain dishes, particularly the spicy Hunan specialties, may be quite salty. If you enjoy authentic and spicy Hunan flavors and don't mind potentially high salt levels, Village Kitchen家湘味 might be worth trying. You can contact them at (858) 581-1585 or +1 858-581-1585 for more information or to place an order.

Customer Reviews
The sour and Spicy shredded potato was just so-so. The flavor was plain. I would not recommend it. The Chicken intestines and hunan stir fried pork are really spicy. They are good along with white rice. BUT they are BOTH SALTY. Really salty. You have to drink lots of water. Many people have recommended this Chinese restaurant and they think this is the best Chinese restaurant in San Diego. If so, I would say maybe Chinese restaurants here are less competitive than I expected. Or maybe three dishes is a small sample size. We need to try more dishes to have a fair review
I had 4 dishes all very salty. I’ll not plan to come back again ever. Only shrimp fry rice that we can eat not too much salty.
New review- They've just introduced several exciting new items! One is the Hunan-style swamp eel, and the other is baby lotus. Both dishes are new to me and absolutely delicious. I've been a fan of this restaurant for a long time, and it never fails to impress. It remains one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in San Diego, known for its authentic flavors and excellent preparation. Although it can get quite busy in the evenings and on weekends, it's worth finding the right time to enjoy a truly exceptional Chinese meal. The restaurant is clean and inviting, with comfortable seating. Highly recommended! Previous review- I ordered Village Kitchen from Hungry Panda 🐼. The foods are so good and authentic. I ordered a chicken pork tripe Herb soup (猪肚鸡汤), a thousand years egg & eggplant & green pepper, and a spicy cumin pork ribs. They are all amazing. I think the chicken pork tripe Herb soup is really healing, it is very nutritious. I definitely recommend people who want to try authentic Hunan style Chinese people.
We had late lunch at Saturday. The restaurant was open and we stayed there until 5pm. The food is authentic like I had in China. The dish of steamed fish head was big and very fresh. I will come next time to try other dishes. Thanks so much for the service.
Scan and place an order by online. Service just okay. They give you water and after drop all your order, they never come back to check on you. Food is good, portion pretty big. Recommended is Grill fish come with some bean sprout, califlower, mushroom and PEANUT. a little spicy. Second is Steam Egg with meat is good for toddler, kids and everyone 🤣. Sweet and sour fish is good too. Its fish fillet. I am not into Potato but my nephew like it. Its Potato slices with pork belly.
