1. Kung Po Chicken
Rhondi S.

Wanted breakfast but all the restaurants and diners had over an hour wait -Chinese food, yup sounds great. China 1 had an extensive menu and combo plates. They specialize in Huan and Szechuan dishes. The Kung Po Chicken was plentiful and delicious, could have used more chile, the combination comes with rice for $7.95. Their lunch specials are $5.25 and they have over 20 plates from chow mein or lo mein, beef or chicken broccoli, kung po chicken, shrimp with lobster sauce, cashew chicken, sesame chicken, General Tao's chicken and much more. Sesame chicken is plentiful, we also had the egg rolls. Everything was delicious

4 Piece Fried Chicken Wings with French Fries

I was looking for a Chinese spot that'd be open past 9 PM on a Sunday and that lead me to China 1. My food was nice and hot and the wings were extra crispy. I ordered pickup and food was done within 10 minutes. The man who took my order was friendly.

Beef with mixed veggies sans mushrooms
Ellen W.

This was my first time here and I ordered takeout. Beef with mixed vegetables and white rice. They were very prompt and had my order together in less than 10 minutes. They eagerly accommodated my request for no mushrooms. Their location was easy to get to, and my food tasted delicious! The beef was not fatty like I have sometimes experienced at Asian places. They were priced pretty reasonably too. (Be sure to grab condiments and ask for chopsticks though- my order was bagged and didn't have anything but food in it.) I will definitely be back! Seems like a great go-to for takeout.

Review from Wife 5yrs ago Wow! We really loved this place! The family that owned it were the best. I don't know if it changed recently or how long ago the ownership has changed, but the food has definitely changed. The quality is not the same. I moved from Chesapeake to Virginia Beach some years back so I didn't get there as often as I would when I lived in Chesapeake. However, I would take trips just to go get the egg foo young because they had the best around I've given this new ownership I guess three chances but it does not taste the same as it was when the previous owners were there. Each time I've been there I'm looking for the old owners so that I could say hi. We even remember when they had their last child and when our 1st daughter was born the wife used to always ask, was she part Chinese or did she have a Chinese mix in her. She even gave my daughter a dress from China because she thought she was part Chinese. Our daughter is now going on 16yrs old, so that is how long we've been eating there. It was so disappointing getting one of my usuals,fried chicken wings and rice with the egg foo young gravy and it tasted horrible to say the least. So I will not be patronizing them anymore unless the old ownership comes back. Please let me know if any other old-time customers have noticed a change. The quality is just not the same.

Pu Pu platter for 2
Rose S.

First time ordering from here. With all the positive reviews I was pretty hopeful. We ordered the sweet-and-sour chicken which wasn't too bad.. a lot of really tiny pieces but the taste was OK. The eggrolls tasted a little off. Tried the teriyaki chicken. Not all of it was cooked through. We got the Pu pu platter. I loved the shrimp that came with it. Was so good! It was my first time trying shrimp toast... I was so excited!! Unfortunately, as you can see by the pictures I could not eat it because it was completely raw!! So I had to toss that and the teriyaki chicken. My husband really loved the ribs that came with the platter. The bourbon chicken was OK. I think it looks better than it tasted. The chicken was really dry it wasn't moist. My husband said the fried rice was good. Overall, I wasn't super pleased but willing to give it one more try. Maybe they were just having a off day. They were really busy when we went.

L14. Bourbon Chicken Lunch Special

Hands down the best Chinese place in Hampton Roads. Clean, fresh food cooked perfectly. The customer service is amazing. The only thing is they need to upgrade the soda fountain. I will be returning

Chicken and broccoli with white rice (lunch)
Mary J.

For fast food Chinese, this place gets 4 big stars. I stopped by to paint pottery across the lot, and the line at the brunch place was too long. This place had just opened for the day and I found a great table to eat at and watch TV. They have a nice, big fish tank, if you want to watch that instead. I found the food quality was excellent and it arrived fast. Nothing was oily or greasy. The restaurant was mostly clean, the soda fountain had a syrup drip of snot coming off the Dr. Pepper though. Staff was efficient but not overly friendly, I'm OK with that. I'll be back for the solid food offerings.

44. Beef Lo Mein
Sarah B.

The sitting down restaurant part of this establishment is very clean with a very calm and nice atmosphere. The staff is very kind and efficient. The food though, the food is immaculate. My favorite thing is the Crab Rangoon's. I love Rangoon's and have had them countless times in countless restaurants, but China 1's is the best I've ever had. Fast amazing food, kind efficient staff, and clean peaceful environment. Best chinese restaurant in Chesapeake

5. Shrimp Toast. Nothing but fried extremely oily pieces of bread.

My wife and I have been looking for good Chinese food for a while in the area and we finally found…read moreit. The Mongolian Beef will melt you in your chair. The Pork fried rice brings a smile to my face every time. The only negative thing I have to say is that the eggrolls have changed in the past year or so. They used to be perfect. I would order only egg rolls at times as a snack if I was in the plaza. Honestly, egg rolls are how I define how good a Chinese food place is. A year and a half ago, I would have given Golden Star 5 stars, but the egg rolls have changed. Not sure if they started using a different vendor or what. They used to be flaky and full of fresh goodness that made my heart sing in Chinese. I had no clue what my heart was singing because I don't speak Chinese, but it was lovely. Now, the egg rolls are mushy on the inside and it makes me sad. This is not based on one or two visits. We eat from here at least once per month and the last year has been disappointing when it comes to the egg rolls. The rest of the food is delicious, which is why we keep coming back. But I must admit that if we find a place with better egg rolls, there is no telling what might happen. But if you don't like egg rolls, this place would be 5 stars for you! P.S. Bring back your old egg rolls.

Absolutely unacceptable! I have photographs of the filter, the food, and my receipt. The filter was found in the meal, and I am not interested in speculation about whether this could have happened--it did happen, and I have evidence documenting it. What has been equally concerning is the response I received when I reported the incident. Rather than acknowledging my concern, I was told that it "could not have happened." I was told that the business has operated for 15 years and that something like this does not happen. While I appreciate the reputation the establishment has built over the years, I found that response disappointing and dismissive. A history of good service does not change the fact that I found a used cigarette filter in my food. I have actually been a customer of the business for years, which is one reason this experience is so upsetting. I expected my concern to be taken seriously and investigated rather than immediately dismissed based on the assumption that it could not have occurred. My goal is not to argue about whether the incident occurred--it did. As a customer (now former), I believed my concerns deserved a thoughtful and professional response.

On October 14, 2026, we were driving around looking for a filling meal. Since we are new to the…read morearea, we weren't quite sure where to go. For the last ten to fifteen minutes of our drive, I had noticed a restaurant called Mongolian Warrior, so I suggested we stop there. When we walked inside, we were offered drinks and some soup with sesame seed bread, which was delicious. We watched other customers go to the bar to select their raw ingredients, adding vegetables, shaved meats, and sauces. After assembling your bowl, you give it to the cook, who places it on a very large, hot flat-top grill. I noticed the cooks moving in circles, skillfully tossing the food across the heated surface. The restaurant allows you to go back for as many servings as you want, though they ask that you do not waste food or take any home. This seemed very fair, especially since I enjoyed three bowls of the delicious food. The atmosphere was laid-back, with a charming "mom and pop" feel. The food was great; my wife was so ecstatic that she couldn't believe how wonderful it was, and she already wants to return.

And it's your choice if you just want protein to eat all night. To me this place is for a person who needs to bulk up on protein after a good work out. Plus you get soup, rice, sesame rice bread, and a mini dessert. There's plenty of seating and the staff was spot on! I would definitely come back if I'm in the mood in bulking up on protein.

I've been meaning to try this restaurant for a while now…read more Well my first take is very beautiful decore, so modern and artful. I was excited to see a rolling mechanism that show case food items that you can possibly order with your hot pot. Just note...it's just for display only! Anyhow....we we're handed a pad where you order everything! Even your servers for assistance. Which I kind of felt it to be useless! The cool this is that there is a bot server that will also deliver your orders to you. Well, all you can eat Hot Pot was delicious and food fresh. Honestly it's the experience of it, but I have been to other all you can eat places that have both BBQ & Hot Pot with the same price. But I will look st it as just an experience.

I came here for dinner on a Friday evening about 5:30. I had made reservations online but clearly…read moredid not need it as they were not very busy at all. We were sat down immediately. The restaurant was decorated cute but many tables needed to be cleaned so it didn't look very tidy upon entering the restaurant. Neither of us have been before so we needed explanations on how to order. I was very turned off because there was 1 iPad to order from and so we ordered one at a time. Keep in mind it was our first time and we really didn't get a clear explanation of what to do.. thank God we are actually tech literate so we figured it out on our own. It literally took seconds to get the food brought out to us which was good because it was about 10-15 minutes difference between our food coming out. Everything was okay. Just okay. They have a lot of toppings and sauce at the condiments bar up front but it was a bit disorganized and each person in front of us took a while before the person behind them. You end up paying like $36 a person for all you can eat but there's a lot more meats and add ons that cost extra so I'm not sure what they call it that. I will have to stick with my first impression of Hot Pots and stay away. I'm glad I tried them out but will probably not be coming back.
