Over the top restaurant writer Jay Weston says that friends of his have opened a new Chinese American restaurant in Sherman Oaks (15466 Ventura Blvd.) called Green Village. He really, really, really likes it: "I was in heaven the moment I began eating here. You know that I eat in three-star restaurants all over the world, but frankly I think that some of the dishes I have tasted here recently rank with the best French and Italian food I've eaten anywhere at any price. Speaking of price, the cost of dishes here are so remarkably reasonable given the complexity and quality of the ingredients that I am startled at the low prices. Stunningly subtle, I doubt if the food in China could be much better than that of Rose and Charlie in Sherman Oaks." [HuffPo]
