China One - Chinese Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

March 2024: Ordered through DoorDash and food arrived as promised. The Shrimp egg roll and Spring rolls were perfectly cooked. The Crab Rangoon was delicious. No skimping on the amount of filling here! I got Shrimp Fried Rice with my order of General Tso's Shrimp. The fried rice was so good! I'll definitely be ordering it again. The General Tso's Shrimp was flavored well, but there was so much sauce that the shrimp was soggy. I like my general Tso's to be crispy on the outside. I won't be ordering it again, but I will order from China One again. read more

China One - C18. General Tso's Chicken Combo Plate - Chinese Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

The service was quick & the food delicious! There is no ambiance. I would eat here again!

China One has perhaps the second best Mongolian chicken dish I've ever eaten. And I have eaten a LOT of Mongolian chicken dishes. It was perfectly seasoned and had just the right amount of sauce so it was not too dry or swimming. I was even impressed that I got four fortune cookies for two meals. Usually I only get two. But alas, it was not an abundance of generosity but a desire to get rid of stale product. My fortune cookie should not have the consistency of a gummy bear. And for that, I simply can't give the five stars I otherwise would have given them. read more

This is the best Chinese food we found since moving here a year and a half ago. We've lived in cities with really good Chinese food and it's been really sad not finding a decent restaurant in Carlisle. We are very happy to have found this place. I'm still on the lookout for a place with good hot and sour soup. This one was a little sweet and didn't have the zing I'm looking for. We'll be back! read more

The food is very good. I lived in the SF Bay Area for years, and Dined at various Chinatown restaurants. China One hits the mark most of the time. I must say that I have had under cooked beef on two occasions resulting in tough chewy beef. read more

Very good and good to order and fresh reasonable prices friendly and you can understand them plenty of parking

Stopped in for lunch today while driving through on I81. Not disappointed, freshly made lunch specials in about 5 min. Both entree's came with fried rice and were under six dollars. A little on the sweet side for my shrimp with vegetables in garlic sauce, could have used a little heat. But overall very good, fresh vegetables and about a dozen shrimp. My husband had boneless spareribs, they were yummy too. read more

LAST TIME COMING HERE. Have been coming here since I was a teenage with my mom. Over the years the quality of the food has dramatically decreased. Today will be the last time ordering from them, We went in to order our food and were going to get it to dine in. While ordering the lady taking our order commented asking how old I was now, and then proceeded to say that I used to be skinny and now I am fat and then laughed as she had said it. This was upsetting due to us being long term customers in addition it was an unnecessary comment. Bad business. read more

They have the best food in Carlisle and take care to properly bag your order so it makes it to your destination still hot. The thick brown paper bags are great insulation! They go the extra mile to keep customers happy. read more

I had food poisoning from their food last Sunday. I ended up in ambulance and emergency since I was visiting the area

After too many hours from too many accidents on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, it was essential to get off the highway for a stretch and victuals. Carlisle is the halfway point between Westmoreland County and Bucks, meaning we had another 2 hours to make it home Sunday night, if we were lucky. Thanksgiving can be a steelbelted bear. Rather than hit the fast foodie joints on North 11, we drove south toward the real historic Carlisle. Lo and behold, within a half mile on the left was a fairly new strip center with a well lit, "China One," sign right in the middle. Always a willing consumer of Chinois Americain, the storefront beckoned like a comfortable bed after an exhausting travail. This shop was brightly lit, which clearly show how clean it was. It was empty but for us, so we approached the counter to check out the paper menu. We were promptly greeted by the lovely proprietress, who spoke with a clear Fujianese accent despite more than 20 years living in the U.S. of A. I ordered the Combo Sesame Chicken Platter (Chicken, Pork Fried Rice and Egg Roll) @ about $8, and a bottle of water. They did not have hot tea. While we waited, the water closet was visited. Even it was uberclean. I could imagine how pleased my companion was in the small room next door. We returned to our table to wait delivery of the meal. They arrived on real ceramic plates and with real steel flatware! Damn! I was more accustomed to being forced to eat out of Styrofoam and with cheap plastic utensils, even when eating in-house. This was a tremendous upgrade. Much appreciated. The Sesame Chicken was plentiful and did not offer the tough texture of a bird too long left in the frozen tundra of a walk in freezer. It was good, but to pic a nit, the sauce tasted of being designed for General Tso, rather than what I desired, it being a reddish amber color with more Chili flavor than expected. Maybe they thought it wouldn't be noticed under the full sprinkle of Sesame Seeds. The Fried Rice had plenty of chunky Pork and Veggies, although made en masse earlier in the day. The Eggroll was big, hot and tasted fine with a little package of Duck Sauce squeezed over the top. China One is on the high side of Chinese/American houses with its cleanliness, friendliness, and ample portions. No, it isn't authentic Chinese cuisine, but who would expect that outside of a Chinese community? I would not hesitate to return if I found myself in the vicinity and hankering for something with Broccoli Sprigs on the side. read more

I have both eaten at the restaurant and ordered takeout from China One in Carlisle. After living on the west coast and having tons of great choices for Chinese, I've been searching for a go to Chinese restaurant in the area. My first visit was disappointing as I didn't really enjoy the food I ordered. Being that the location is close to where I was living, I decided to give them a second...and third try...and ok I go there often now. After trying several dishes I found that their sesame chicken is my favorite. I've also found a few other dishes that I really like. China One makes good Chinese food. It doesn't measure up to the Chinese that I've eaten in the San Francisco Bay Area, however it it is good and consistent. read more

Ok stop. Seriously the BEST Chinese food I have EVER had. SUPER freshly made. Nothing had been sitting around and congealing here. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and if you're staying at the Best Western----don't go to any of the other Chinese joints around....go here, you won't regret it. read more

The food here is awesome, make to order delicious is not even a start to describe it. Restaurant is semi big and clean including the restrooms. They make their rice with eggs which I love and not too many chinese places do. Food was done fast as well which is typical. If I'm around here again I'm definitely hitting this spot again. read more

It's rare to see a tofu and eggplant dish. I enjoyed every bite! The wife got a nice tofu dish and we were pleased to find decent Chinese on a route catering to truckers. How rare is that!? read more

I ordered takeout , Shrimp Chow Mai Fun. When I got home it wasn't what I order. Instead got Shrimp Chow Mein. Never the less I was not afraid try new dish. It was great dish, very soft vegetables and it fit perfect with the chilly weather. read more

I ordered takeout from here today, 9/28/15, and very much enjoyed my food! I ordered the seafood delight, chicken chow mein, and Chinese donuts. The pieces of seafood were big and cooked well. The veggies in both dishes were cooked fantastically; they were cooked, but still had a crunch to them. The donuts were to die for! I love Chinese donuts and these ones were great! Soft, warm, and sweet. Yum! Everything tasted fresh. I'll definitely try this place again when I want some takeout! read more

Came here because we thought it was the same restaurant we visited years ago when we worked for the circus. Ordered two lunch specials: chicken and broccoli and general toss chicken. The chicken in the chicken and broccoli was tender and rice was good. The general tsos chicken was crispy and the vegetables were delicious and had the perfect crisp. If in the area would visit again. read more

China One - A plate with a mix of foods, it's all delicious! - Chinese Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Wonderful hot and sour soup. The Kom po (they need to learn to write English) chicken I added 6 hot sauce packages to make it "warm". I hadn't taken enough to make it hot. read more

We arrived hungry after driving all day and tired of the normal highway food. The restaurant was empty so we had reservations about it but we were greeted by a delightful lady who made us at home and even laughed at our jokes. We ordered a few dishes which were all really good and very reasonably priced. We heard later that these were new owners. Please support them they are doing a good job. Lowering the lighting and adding some oriental music would improve the dining room atmosphere. Good luck to new owners! Unfortunately we live in Canada so can't come back very often. read more

Live close by and absolutely love the service, food, & prices! I have not had a bad meal there yet. They don't have a fountain machine and are limited to the selection of soda/ drinks. Very clean & friendly place. read more

The house special lo main was great. The sweet and sour chicken was very plain. The restaurant is very clean.

After searching on Yelp for some good Chinese take out somewhere between Harrisburg and Bedford County, PA, I was lucky enough to stumble upon this place. I placed a very large order on their web page and crossed my fingers it would be ready when I pulled off I-81 to pick it up. It was well worth the very slight drive past the Turnpike entrance. A man and woman (perhaps the owners) appeared to be making all of the food in this small strip mall situated restaurant. Each take out container was filled almost beyond capacity. The dumplings were old-school thick dough and heavy. Egg rolls were nearly bursting with filling. The curried Singapore chow mei fun was spicy and loaded with meat and shrimp. Loved the sweet batter on the sweet and sour shrimp - haven't had a homemade batter like that since the 70's! Beef and mushroom was a big hit. The only negative was the rice paper wrappers instead of thicker pancakes for the moo shu pork - need something more substantial to hold this heavy mix of roasted pork and veggies - but those old fashioned moo shu pancakes aren't as common as they used to be. Nothing terribly fancy here - just well made, good quality and plentiful portions of classic Chinese-American food served in a clean and orderly restaurant. My order was ready when I arrived (placed the order about three hours in advance) and they tossed in a free 2-liter of Coke as well. I hope to have a chance to go back again someday - the food was a huge hit at my destination! read more

This place is awesome. We live close so we decided to give it a try. We ordered general tso's chicken, chicken and broccoli, and vegetable lo mein. Everything was fresh and had a great taste. The generals chicken was a lot of chicken instead of a ton of breading. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be going back! read more

Chicken taste weird. Somethings not right with it. Not good. Had much better. Rating at this location is way over rated.

Have had lunch here several times. Standard menu. Always really fresh good food. Pleasant people and the place is really clean. Def one of the better Chinese food places in the area now. read more

This is probably the best Chinese food I've ever tasted. Szechuan chicken and vegetables, Sesame chicken, General Tso's was all so good I cleaned my plate. Chicken was cooked to perfection and the veggies were cooked just enough to still have some crunch. The flavors blended perfectly so everything could be mixed together. Every bite was a treat! read more

Place is spacious and very clean. Food was delicious! We are not local to the area but loved the food. Service was very good too!

Ordered take out from here since I pass it every day. The lady working didnt greet me when I came in to pick up my order up, didnt say one word to me the entire time I was paying and didnt say thanks. The General tsos chicken had veggies mixed into it (carrots, baby corn, green peppers, water chestnuts). The fried rice was basically just yellow rice with a few onions and veggies in it. The rice didn't really have much flavor. Wouldn't recommend. Go to the Great Wall on Calvery road. They are very friendly and appreciative of your business and you won't be disappointed with their general tsos. read more

First time and very clean and friendly place. Average price on meals, quick service . I didn't care for the chicken n broccoli but the sesame chicken and boneless ribs are awesome . Would definitely come back. read more

China One has amazing food, so far I always get sesame chicken w/ white rice and a side of steamed dumplings and it's to die for every time. I also love broccoli with my chinese food, and here you get as much broccoli as you do chicken, which is a lot for a very good price! I always get at least 2 meals out of my order! And everyone who works here is extremely friendly, I definitely recommend going here! read more

Very good Chinese food. Fast and clean with friendly service. I love the Mai fun and any spicy dish is amazing. Recommend to all my friends and take them there for lunch when I can. Super clean and adorable bathroom. I have actually watched the owners wash their hands before handling food. Not fancy, but who needs fancy. read more

Really not much good to say about this place. The food was just OK. Staying down the street at the Residence Inn, my wife and I decided to get some takeout. We got an order of steamed dumplings and two dinner combination plates. The dumplings would have been OK if they had actually been cooked. The wrappers were basically raw dough. My wife's combo, the shrimp and crabmeat with garlic sauce, was tasty, with a spicy sauce that had just the right level of heat. The "crabmeat" was really the pink imitation crab made from some kind of fish. My combo, with General Tso's chicken, was average, but the "pork fried rice" was yellow(???), had zero pork in it, and little else. Both meals came with egg rolls that were small and half-filled with shredded cabbage and no meat. Overall, there has to be other places in the area that you can find better food than this. read more
