Absolutely delicious Chinese Food and wonderful friendly service. The food is fresh fresh fresh!!! The restaurant is clean clean clean. The owners and service are super friendly every time you walk in. No MSG which is a plus for me. If you like MSG just add salt they keep on the tables. LMAO. The crab Rangoon are always piping hot and so flavorful. Not just some cream cheese but the real thing. The shrimp egg rolls had the flavor of actual shrimp and included a lot of huge shrimp! Like falling out the egg rolls amount of shrimp. The regular egg roll is also fresh and deliciously filled with veg. I don't even like Lo Mein but I do here. My neice is a Lo Mein connoisseur and she loves it here and said it's the best she has ever had. I agree....it is deeeeeeelicous. The lunch special is until 3pm and includes the main, choice of egg roll or 2 Rangoon, with pork fried rice. There is so much protein / meat in their dishes. They do not skimp on anything here. It is such a value for lunch price AND dinner prices. I love food and I love it here!! The fact that they are super nice makes this even a better experience. Most people do take out but I love to sit in here and eat because it's clean, quiet, and I get to eat my fresh piping hot food. They cook it all fresh and that chef back there is doing it up. I appreciate this restaurant so much! If you want fresh delicious Chinese with amazing flavor, come on in and check them out! You will come back and thank me but it's not necessary because we are Yelp Fam!!! read more

In the mood for Chinese, my husband suggested China 1. He's enjoyed a few lunches there. I wanted something crispy though and not soaked in sauce, to make it mushy. The team was accommodating. I received chicken and broccoli with general's sauce on the side. It also came with white rice. I ate it all! It was nice to add sauce as wanted or dig my chicken. If you're looking for quick, easy and solid Chinese food, don't hesitate to stop in. read more

China 1 - a bowl of rice and meat with broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

My sweet-and-sour chicken for my two little boys was over battered and half of it had no chicken in it, just batter. I took it back and the woman laughed at me. I've been going there for seven years and I tip every time on carryout. read more

I am writing this review solely based upon their General Tso's chicken. A couple of things make it stand out from most other Chinese places: 1. The chicken. The fried pieces of chicken are lightly battered, tender, and juicy. Most places are almost all breading and very chewy. Not here. 2. The sauce. I asked for spicy and it came SPICY. Very nice. 3. The fried rice is some of the best you'll find in town from a fast food Chinese place. It actually tastes like fried rice and has a pleasant wok-hei char going on. 4. They include a small egg roll AND a drink with your lunch special which as of 11/2023 is $7.99 plus tax. Super fairly priced I can't speak for the rest of their items, but if you're a General Tso fan and like spicy, you're bound to enjoy their version. read more

This little spot is our go to Sunday evening Chinese meal. Friendly little family owned business that is always tasty no matter what choice you make. Mike always gets sweet-and-sour chicken and I tend to lean towards the extra spicy meals they will spice it up for you if you ask. Prices are very reasonable for the size of the meal that you get and the freshness of the ingredients. We have posted pictures many times mainly menu to update. For the new Covid restrictions they have the big plastic wall at the front counter and I really handy door to put the meal in for pick up. Please go by and purchase from this family owned business read more

It was lunch and I wanted something different and not big on fast food. I called in the Bourbon Chicken lunch special which comes with pork fried rice and your choice of wontons or an egg roll and it was great! Inside has some seating but not for big groups, it was very clean and the staff was nice. They have a cooler as well with coke products but not a variety of the drinks and I'm not big on soda so I skipped, my food was actually a portion for two and very inexpensive, I paid 7.50 total and they made sure I had 10.50 worth of food! I wish they would have cut the chicken and vegetables in a more bite size. I will be going back to try something different! read more

China 1 - L2. Bourbon Chicken Lunch Special - Chinese Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Always nice to do business with, quality and taste is always consistent. I do suggest trying them.

Chinese food that never fails! My older sis introduced my parents to this place after one of our favorite Chinese restaurants closed. We've been loyal customers for years! The guy on the phone used to know our order well but he has since left, I think. He would sometimes throw in these really tasty curry spring rolls for free. My parents are creatures of habit so we usually get fried rice, lo mein, chicken with broccoli, and Szechuan chicken. We've had general tso's before as well as sesame chicken and cashew chicken. We've also tried regular spring rolls and crab Rangoon. Tastes great! I will add that the chicken with broccoli and Szechuan taste almost the same, except Szechuan has more veggies and a slight kick. Still good and a great price! Parking is easy. We always find a spot right in front. Not sure how popular this place is but I usually see people coming in and out for carry out. It's easy to miss since it's located in an unassuming strip very close to the railroad tracks. Give it a try! read more

I'm so glad I tried this location! I ordered a plain LO Mein for my daughter and for myself, a Beef Mei Fun (Thin rice noodles with veggies and beef). Everything tasted so fresh and made to order, excellent Chinese food! Can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Took a leap of faith trying a new place and I'm so glad that I did. I ordered the lunch shrimp lo mein and I swear it ranks top two best that I've had in Louisville. For $5.45 You are served a large portion with good sized shrimp and the most flavorful lo mein you'll ever put in your mouth. read more

China 1 - Lunch Shrimp Lo Mein with egg roll (or you can order two crab rangoons insteadof the egg roll) - Chinese Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

This used to be really good but our most recent takeout on Sunday evening 11/26 was not good at all. Chicken Lo Mein had 3 tiny slivers of chicken. Shrimp egg rolls where just an empty shell with 1 tiny shrimp in each. The fried rice was ok but the spring rolls were terrible. Such a disappointment. We always enjoyed our meals from this restaurant. Will begin the search for a replacement. read more

Chinese restaurants that serve Americanized Chinese food are everywhere these days (make no mistake, they rarely serve authentic Chinese food - those kind of Chinese restaurants are harder to find). However, despite the fact that the food may lack authenticity and originality, the good American Chinese restaurants make up for this by serving large portions of hot, tasty food at affordable prices. This China One restaurant is one of the good ones. Although neither the location, nor the interior are much to look at, the service is friendly and fast, the food well prepared, it's hot and tasty, and comes in good sized portions. I wouldn't bring a date here unless I wanted to impress her with my frugality. However, it was perfect for an affordable quick dinner for our family of six (including 4 big teenagers). We ordered general Tso's chicken, double cooked pork, hot and spicy shrimp, bourbon chicken and shrimp fried rice. The dishes all came with white rice too. Including three drinks (water from the pitcher is free btw), our total came to $53 (before tip) and we still had leftovers for a light lunch the next day. You can't beat that! Judging from the steady flow of people getting takeout, I would say they are doing things right. We have been for lunch there too in the past and their combos are a great deal. Highly recommended! read more

Somehow this is *way* better than the other China 1s around town. For one thing, the staff is actually friendly (rather than the usual scornful), and the food is pretty fresh and tasty. Also, it's open until 11p some nights, and I can't think of another Asian restaurant in town open that late. read more

The food was really good American Chinese food. Best egg roll I've ever had, crab rangoons were more than just cream cheese (decently good), and the chow main was my husbands and my favorite part- really good flavor. We got orange chicken and it was very orangey which we liked. It was maybe fried a little too long, but other than that, it was great too. Every thing was hot and fresh and the portion size was on the large side. Exactly what we were looking for. read more

Some of the best Chinese cuisine I have had in a while! Food was super fresh and hot . I got the sesame chicken and it was large pieces of tasty chicken, the spring rolls were definitely the best spring rolls I have ever had. Great flavor, crispy on the outside and moist in the middle. Everything I got I was impressed. Looking forward to coming back. Also reasonably priced for the amount of food you get read more

I had the best takeout from China 1 this weekend. They closed for a few months during quarantine, but just reopened. They have installed a plexiglass window with a box for your payment and a box to pick up your food and they have hand sanitizer available. All of the employees were wearing gloves and masks as well. We got chicken and broccoli, war shu gai, and crab rangoon. It was some of the best war shu gai I have had in a while and the crab rangoon had a perfectly thin crispy shell and good flavor. We'll definitely be back, probably sooner rather than later. read more

Order 2 Appetizers, egg rolls & chicken on a stick- both were SUPER GREASY & didn't taste fresh. I will NEVER RETURN -UnExcusable!

Looooove this place! We order from here at least once a week. The food is always hot and fresh and absolutely delicious. I've never had something I didn't like and any time I try something new I'm impressed by it! Recently I've really been into the bourbon chicken, but other favorites include sesame chicken, mu shu, sweet & sour, crab rangoon, and lo mein. The pork fried rice is pretty amazing too. Special shout-out to the steamed dumplings which are TO DIE FOR and I am not kidding--I get them every single time because they are that good. Highly recommend, by far one of my favorite places for take-out in Louisville. read more

The best Chinese takeout I've had in Lousiville and a friendly staff that clearly work hard. From Mongolian Beef, General's Chicken, and Wonton Soup we shared a great family meal between four of us and ate leftovers for days. You certainly will not leave here hungry!! read more

Good food !! Good price lunches !! Nice hard working family of my town in Louisville. It's always nice to support each other.

It is nothing to look at, and rather divey, but the food is great and the lunch specials are where its at! The only thing I cant say I have liked is the bourbon chicken, but the orange chicken, mongolian beef, honey chicken, and shrimp with garlic sauce have all been winners with me. Fast and no nonsense, I recommend! read more

Good take out for China. They're clean and friendly with all your usual Chinese take out choices. read more

China 1 - Quick in and out take out - Chinese Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

This is my favorite Chinese takeout restaurant in Louisville. All of their food is fresh and they have menu items to please all diets and appetites. My go-to order is a batch of garlic broccoli, General Tso's bean curd, and a large hot and sour soup with no mushrooms or chicken. My very specific soup is always made within 10 minutes of placing the order and is scorching hot when I pick it up. The entrees come with a side of white rice and the vegetables are always hot and crisp, not soggy like other Chinese takeout spots. I can always tell they were cooked especially for my order. This amount of food comes to around $20 and feeds me for at least 4 decently sized meals. 10/10 I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys classic Chinese takeout and a large meal that doesn't break the bank. read more

I ordered egg fu young, fried rice and egg roll..she brought out the rice and egg roll..I ask where's the egg fu young? She said "you only ordered the fried rice?" The gentlemen that was the cook jumped up and said I'll get you the egg fu young...well the charged me both times and the meal ended to be $16!! Not going there again! read more

I am so mad at every review that proceeds mine. I ordered the mixed vegetable combo for 6.95 with pork fried rice and it was greasy, the rice was slightly over cooked and I think there were only two pieces of pork throughout the whole thing. Talk about disappointed. I am thankful that I was starving because I have never taken food back to a take out Chinese store. It wasnt awful as in it could be consumed but I wouldn't do it again. The bathrooms were very clean though :) read more

I love this place they are quick and friendly. The food is always delicious. It's my go to Chinese takeout place. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area looking for some good Chinese food. read more

This is our new favorite Chinese takeout place. It's close to home and always fast getting orders ready. I've tried several dishes and have loved all of them! My favorite is the crab rangoons, I have to get them every time. read more

Serviceable Chinese takeaway in the Lyndon area near the intersection of LaGrange and Lyndon Lane. They were open during a snow storm while less indomitable restaurants were closed. Szechuan and Hunan options, meat or meatless, same menu options as nearly every local Chinese takeaway in town. 4 full meals for $23 is hard to argue over. read more

We order here all the time. Super nice. Always ready in 15-20 mins. Chicken wings always good. Great local place. No complaints

I've eaten Asian food my whole life and this place is horrible. I ordered the roast pork chow mein and shrimp toast. The shrimp toast was deep fried so horribly long that it had extra grease crust on it that it wasn't edible. There wasn't any filling in it either. The roast pork chow mein didn't have any noodles in it. It was nothing but onions, celery, and shredded pork. The sauce was so bland. Then my boyfriend got roast pork with black bean sauce and that was terribly bland. Their steamed dumplings were pretty good but I'm thoroughly disappointed. I will not be going back... read more

We love this place. It's not the closest one to our house but we'd prefer to drive the extra few. The food is always fresh! The staff is extremely friendly. I've never had a problem with my carry out orders! All of the sauces are delicious! read more

This place is great. If you want atmosphere, go somewhere else. If you want great chineese food served quickly with a smile for next to nothing, this is the place! They will make it to your specifications. They are really nice hard working people. Food is great quality. You can watch them cook your order. Can't say enough good things about them. read more

Wontons and Sweet and sour chicken was good. The Kung Pao was also tasty. Friendly staff.

Very nice people who run this restaurant and we enjoy their food very much! Never had anything there that we didn't like!

We've been eating here off and on for years. Pending our diet kicks. Family run and awesome people every single time. Food and service has NEVER disappointed us. For the price and size and service you can never go wrong. I think we have only eaten in once or twice, it's always a stop and pick it up or call ahead to pick up and take back home. Either way, good fast food. read more

Very good food! Great service! Very friendly family. Our food is always ready when they say it will be. It seems like they are always open. Very convenient and reasonable pricing. read more

Things that are fried are awesome. Love the crab Rangoon. Not fond of the sauce they put on the healthier dishes.

We have been getting carry out from here for years. The service is great and the food is, too. I love the Egg Foo Yung. The sauce is a killer! The Curry Chicken Egg Rolls and fantastic. They were open during a snow storm when everyone else was closed. SO welcomed! My son and his wife have a tradition; they order from here every New Year's day. Never disappoints. read more
