The crab ragoon is highly recommended. Friendly folks. Really just set up for takeout as I have never seen anyone actual sit down and eat in the smal dining area. Call ahead with order to avoid line.Easy in and out. read more

The restaurant ambiance is mainly for take out. Only 2 tables inside with 2 chairs each, which seem more for waiting for your order, instead of eating there. Thick plastic windowing covers the counter with a cutout for paying the bill. The lady behind the plastic takes care of you with a smile and seems very nice. Not much conversation. However, you are there for the food, which is out of this world tasty, flavorful, and deliciously authentic! El Paso does have a great Chinese restaurant in town! We ordered the "Happy Family" and the "Triple Hunan" and Spring Rolls. All were cooked perfectly, very flavorful, and enormous portion (2 people can easily share one order) in each dish, and the fried rice was excellent, as well! Double check the menu because those online are outdated by at least $3. Nevertheless, if you want EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING, AUTHENTIC Chinese Food, China 1 must be your next take-out! It will, now, ALWAYS be ours! read more

Although not really an eat in place their food is GREAT!! They have lots of take out and seem pretty busy. They are located near by so we get will stop there often to fill that oriental food taste. read more

The place is odd, few tables. Orders taken behind plastic sheets and u order thru an inferior mic. Staff is Asian and very limited on English speaking. Food was good, atmosphere bad. read more

Sadly the food didn't last for pictures it was that good! We got the sesame chicken, shrimp lo mein, and orange chicken! Very nice spot, they cook your food fresh to order! Everything was packaged so nicely couldn't stop drooling at how good it smelled! Very good portions and they come with pork egg rolls! Delish. The lady that helped us at the front was very nice and lovely, I believe it was her and the husband if I'm not mistaken, but they seemed like the owners, just the two of them running this lovely place together :) . The place was cute just no one was there, but there was a lot of people taking out so they do tend to get busy they tell you how long it should be and you can wait in your car, go to another spot or the dollar general to grab some stuff or just wait inside it's up to you! Will definitely return read more

Great food and service. Timely and friendly. Small and quaint. Thank you. Lalalalalalalakalakakala

Best Chinese food in elpaso, it's very obviously a take out place idk what Genie N is nagging about , great place def recommend the

Food is bomb! This is my go to spot for Chinese take out! They don't have much seating inside but I feel like the restaurant is meant more for take out in my opinion. But service is great never have I had a complaint! read more

Food was good and fast. Not expensive. The ordering window is kinda odd. Not a bad thing, just awkward when ordering. 10/10 will go back. Support local small family business read more

It was busy, I called my order in ahead of time but it still took forever. It's one of those hole in the wall places I thought was gonna be fire. But it fell way short. The yellow fried rice reminded me of Chinese food in the military so I was excited but the crab rangoons were horrible. The sesame chicken was average. The highlight was probably the egg roll. Over all it wasn't what I was expecting. I regretted not getting panda on my way out of town but I wanted to try something different/local. read more

Food was good but it seems the pictures are deceiving the amount of food seemed "too small" for the price

So I wanted to go to my fave Chinese place but it was closed for Covid? So I went here... which was nearby ....& it got ok reviews ...I personally didn't like the food much. This is a TOGO place only due to Covid. You order inside and go wait in your car for how long they tell you. The egg drop soup was the best thing I ate. It was nice and velvety, golden, and I asked for scallions on top and they obliged. But I got the triple crown- beef, chicken and shrimp with veggies in a brown sauce... it needed help ... I added pepper and soy sauce to it . It was bland. And very watery. Also it lacks veggies. It was just some broccoli, a 3-4 2inch long slices of carrot and about the same of bamboo shoots and some tiny chunks of baby corn. It needed some onion and celery, maybe some bok Choy or cabbage. And the sauce definitely needed thickening. It was as if it had been on a steam table all day and had broken down. I ordered fried rice with it but they sent some kind of really sticky white rice... it was not good with the meal. I also ordered 4 fried chicken wings. They looked nice and were full sized wings but had this weird wang to them, like the meat had started to turn? I only ate 1 and a bite of another to see if it was just one wing but both tasted the same ... I got them plain. Perhaps if I had them doused in a sauce option they offer I might not have noticed the weird taste... but since I had them plain it was pronounced. The meats in my dish appeared to have been dredged In some flour or something, cuz there was this thick coating on them, especially the shrimp. I didn't really like that either. The broccoli and other veggies were cooked well, not mushy or crunchy. I got a roasted pork egg roll as well but really could see or taste no pork and certainly no roasted flavor. Sorry to be a downer but if you like this place good for you, but it just didn't satisfy my Chinese food fix. I left half or more Of everything I uneaten except the egg drop soup. 2 stars for that. read more

China 1 - Front entrance. Small strip mall off pebble hills and Saul Klienfeld. - Chinese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

We felt like Chinese one night and of course I used yelp to look at reviews. This one had high reviews and was close to our hotel. A nice lady answered the phone when we got takeout and I got the broccoli and beef with fried rice, my daughter got the lo mein noodles, my wife got the potstickers and the Hot and sour soup. Initially I was not a fan of the fried rice but it grew on me. The broccoli and beef were good. My daughter loved her lo mein. The potstickers were also great but the hot and sour soup was not our favorite. Overall a fairly good place. It is take out only as they have no table set up. When I arrive to pick up my food I couldn't understand the lady that well because of the multi layers of plexiglass and the masks plus the language barrier a little bit. I could tell she was frustrated as hell but I laughed about it in the end. It seems like a nice family running this restaurant. You do get a lot of food, so prepare for that and we probably would've shared a dish if we were to do this again. Prices were great as well. read more

Love this place, just moved to Eastside and found this hidden gem, great food and service!

I love this place. Amazing vegetarian selection, with several bean curd options, some breaded and fried, some not. Our family's favorite order is Szechuan bean curd, General Tso's bean curd with fried rice and then a side of vegetable lo mein. The lo mein reheats so well with all the leftover veggies and tofu and it ends up being 3 meals for my son and I. Great deal. It's always delivered super fast and hot through Door Dash too. read more

I love this family run restaurant! They always have fresh food and a delicious taste. They're hot and sour soup is great and I love their Singapore noodles. read more

Best Chinese food in town the crab Rangoon is fire AF reminds me of the Chinese food on the east coast

Food is very good for take out. We have been eating here for years . It's definitely our go too place when we want good fast Chinese food.

Food is average. It's passable for a quick Chinese food fix. Staff are very short, straight forward and cold. The whole front area is wrapped in plastic barriers like it's Covid 1.0. We need to loosen up a bit with this unnecessary and overprotective approach. read more

Lots of good reviews so went to try it thinking it was a restaurant but bo. U go u order through an intercom and some really thick plastic. Theres one or two tables u can sit and eat at but its more of a pick up ur food and go type vibe. The wait was good. Didnt take long but then as soon as u taste the noodles its just so heavily salted or something that doesnt taste good. Ended up leaving the food there. Def dont recommend this place read more

Probably the best Chinese food in El Paso. The lo mein is delicious, nothing compares.

I have this restaurant 3 stars. I ordered the fried chicken wings (4), shrimp fried rice, peppered steak with onion, and beef egg rolls. The food was cooked to order so it came out hot and I received everything I ordered but the shrimp fried rice. I guess she didn't hear me order the small intercom you have to talk to in order for them to take your order. The food was good. The peppered steak and onion surprisingly has green peppers and was seasoned and sauced well. The fried rice was cooked well enough for me to enjoy and the wings were not fried too hard. I received my food 20 minutes before they closed so I tipped them extra because I only saw one person cooking and the other taking orders. I recommend eating here if you order take out. The ambiance needed some work. My total came to $25.06 note including tip. I think the food wasn't overpriced given the economic state we are currently in. The decor not very welcoming but the food I would say I compliments to the chef. I hope this was helpful. read more

I have never been here, and today was my first time! No regrets! Everything was delicious! 10/10 would recommend cashier/cook was so nice!

I may not be an expert in Chinese food, but I certainly know what I like. China 1 is my go-to place for take-out Kung Pao Chicken. The menu lists it as Kung Po, if I remember correctly. The food stays warm long. In my experience, you get plenty of food for a very reasonable price. You can expect leftovers and the fried rice is great. The restaurant has even thrown in bonus items, such as free rangoons or eggrolls, depending on the total order amount. read more

I love pretty much everything I've had there, but the fried rice is anything but fried rice, it's good, but it is not fried rice, more like yellow rice? I really wish they had actual fried rice though read more

I was very impressed with this place. I ordered moo goo gai pan, beef with vegetables and wonton soup and brought it all home. Everything was delicious. Not like your usual El Paso Chinese mom and pop place where the food is mushy and tasteless. No more saying "you can't get good Chinese food in El Paso." I will definitely be returning read more

Very good, always hot & freshly made. Tempted to try different items on the menu but still stick to my favorites. The egg foo yung is awesome, & huge, but the sauce adds to the flavor, love it. Sesame chicken is always good, definitely will keep coming back read more

I've come here about three times now! Mostly everything I have ordered is delicious! It's not really a great sit down place, most people seem to order to go or just to pick up. It does take between 15-45 mins for food but I think they fresh make everything. If I were to pick out some of the negatives, the pu pu platter is just gross. Don't do it! The egg drop soup is a really unnatural orange and the fried noodles for the soup just taste old. Ive had beef and broccoli (really good) Szechwan shrimp and sweet and sour pork. They we're a good! read more

I always love coming here, they are the reason I don't even go to buffets anymore. They sell very generous portions at great prices. You'll never believe how heavy your bag is when you leave. Wish they would add coconut shrimp to the menu though.. The food is always made fresh, right in front of you, tastes great. The staff is always friendly. Just an A+ place. Love read more

Oh man what else can I say about this place. Affordable and great food. Tried many items off menu. Generous servings as well. For being fast food Chinese, this place is great. read more

I've lived in El Paso for 3 years and this is the ONLY Chinese food place I trust. Every single time I've tried anyplace else I've always been disappointed that I didn't get China 1 instead. It's a bummer that they don't deliver but it's not far from my house so I don't mind making the trip. I go at least 2x a month and the food has always been awesome, always fresh and never missing anything. read more

This was our first time trying this restaurant and we ordered take out. We had the general tso chicken with white rice and chicken chow mein noodles. The food was delicious and fresh, no complaints at all plus it was still hot when we arrived home. We also tried the egg rolls and sweet and sour soup. The egg rolls were crispy and vegetables were fresh and the soup was full of flavor. I so will eat here again, definitely good fresh food, that satisfied my Chinese food craving at a great price. read more

Small hole in the wall with tasty dishes. Good lunch & dinner prices and your food will always be freshly made. I have always only ordered take out and i have been satistifed time and time again. Every dish i have tried is good, enjoy read more

If I could give it more than 5 stars I would I stumbled upon this place over a month ago it's the real deal authentic Asian Cuisine I've tried several items on the menu sometimes I forget to post pictures it's just that darn good. It's a family owned and operated business it's a small place very clean I hope to try almost everything on the menu so far everything I've ordered is scrumptious, there fried dumplings are really good my family just loves them, there orange chicken is cooked to perfection it's moist and full of flavor and the spicy are just Mmmm, I love there vegetable chicken it's has juicy chicken breast, baby corn, carrot slices, bamboo shoots, broccoli, and onion in a delightful sauce that's seasoned just right it's my favorite, there fried rice has to be the best I've every tasted it's not greasy you would think it's cooked in angel oil cause it's so light all you taste is the fluffy rice, peas, carrots, and onions they put just the right amount of spices to give it that robust flavor. There Chicken Lo Mein don't even get me started is another dish that is awesomely delicious the noodles cooked perfectly, it's full of flavor the chicken is tender and so are the vegetables and what ever vegi you don't like you can order it without this place is simply the best I've found in EL PASEO hands down its worth it and you won't be disappointed so if your looking for custom made to order Asian Cuisine this is the place you will love it read more

Came in for lunch and ordered the szechuan shrimp, and the food was very good, enough to let you know you got a hearty portion for what you paid for. Order was out quickly, within a few minutes and freshly made, tasted great, no msg is added to the food. Prices here are very reasonable, very clean, and very friendly wait staff.

China 1 - Chinese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Me and my husband are frequent customers of China 1, love their food and hospitality however, on 09 february 2018 we made our drive from the northeast to China 1 (approximately 18 Miles) as usually arriving at 1120 only to find that the business is still closed, when the opening hour listed on yelp is 1030, and on their door is 11am. This was a significant inconvenience to me and my family. Cristina Madison read more

I LOVE this place! Their food is delish and I think less greasy than other Chinese food restaurants around the Far East. I've had their wonton soup, spring rolls, fried rice, lo mein, general tao and orange chicken, and chow mein. Always very impressed and it tastes like authentic Chinese-American food. My favorite Chinese spot when I get those cravings! read more

The food good, but not anything special. I won't be back only cause I know there are much better places for the same price. New here to El paso from California tried it cause of the reviews to celebrate getting my job. It was ok. read more
