    Come for the special and it's $10.95 with egg drop soup! Food comes out piping hot and full of flavor! The server is always very attentive and polite. Even tho it's a sit down place, to go orders are quick and wait time is less than 5 minutes since there's 6 chefs in the back putting in work! Cool place.

    I accidentally missed my exit for a different Chinese place and quickly searched the next one. Glad I decided to try it, exactly what I was looking for, some familiar Chinese comfort food. Service was quick, food tasted great, place was clean.

    Orange Tofu

    I have ordered from China One many times, primarily enjoying their Orange Tofu with white rice, and I have never been let down. As someone who follows a vegan and gluten-free diet, I appreciate the limited options available at many restaurants, making this place a standout. The freshness of the food and the fact that it arrives hot are aspects I truly value. I highly recommend this restaurant, as I have been a loyal customer for nearly a year.

    It was so nice of China One to be open on Thanksgiving. The food was made fresh, and every dish was delicious. Really appreciated the great service on a holiday!

    Per usual the food was so good!! The service was great and food didn't take long to get. The prices are very reasonable.

    This has been a favorite of ours since we moved here 5 years ago, we hadn't ordered in a couple months and I was craving tonight, but it just didn't taste the same or as good. I'm wondering if they got a new owner or new recipe. The chicken and broccoli is my favorite but tonight it lacked flavor :(

    Ordered this GF no onion and no pepper...I hope the soy sauce is GF or it's tamari because I'm going to be very sick soon if not...

    Walked in to order because I have an allergy to gluten and there were Yelp reviews that stated they have gluten free options. Before I ordered, I asked the person taking my order what on the menu could be made gluten-free. She said, "everything" which I figured was slightly inaccurate, but I looked over the menu and ordered a shrimp plate, pork dish, and beef dish. After I paid $60, they tell me the items actually can't be GF. I asked for a refund on two of the three items, and they said they didn't know how to do a refund and to order something else. I asked then again what was available. At this point; I'm annoyed because I'm pregnant and haven't eaten and am taking a break from visiting my mother in the hospital. I pretty much ordered food I didn't want or like and with a pretty significant language barrier. I hope I don't have an allergic reaction and I'm now out $60. I wish they just would have told me they can't do GF and I could have gone elsewhere.

    Well as I sit here and watch them cook I notice that the chef used his bare hands to pick up the chow mein. I'm hoping this doesn't backfire on me. After the great reviews I'm really hopeful but unsure. After eating... it was decent!Lots of crab in the wontons which was nice. The house chow mein had HUGE shrimp! Overall it was good!

    Crab Rangoon

    Stopped in for dinner for the first time recently and it's been awhile since we had traditional Chinese food that we forgot that each dish we ordered is sharing size! So we ended up with a lot of food! We started out with the Crab Rangoon (DELICIOUS!!!). Probably the best ones I've had in a long time! Orange chicken and sweet and sour chicken were tasty, and hot teas kept us warm. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, they checked in on us regularly. The restaurant is not very big, however the tables, chairs and booths were spacious and comfortable. They kept their facility well maintained and cleared up quickly when seating becomes available. We have since ordered for delivery and enjoyed the food every time. We have been picking other items off the menu to try and they don't disappoint!

    Someone's fingernail!

    Yes! It is what it looks like! Someone's fingernail in our food! NEVER AGAIN!!! It gives a nasty meaning to the saying "watch what you eat"!

Looking back, we probably should have left at that point, but our kids were already starving. Once our food arrived, we still had to flag down a server just to get our drinks and utensils. The drinks eventually came, but the utensils never did we ended up getting them ourselves. We never had an assigned waiter just multiple people bringing our dishes. The service was so poor that I honestly can't even remember how the food tasted because the entire experience was overshadowed by the lack of attention and organization. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had, and I won't be returning.

I'm glad I did, it was nice and crispy on the outside and the sauce that it comes with is soo good. My 2.5 year old son really liked this too -Black Pepper Beef: yummm the beef was so tender and they don't skimp on anything. Perfect amount of black pepper, my son loved this too. -Singapore Mei Fun (curry noodles): this is one of my favorite items to order from Chinese restaurants and they did a great job with this. If you want noodles, but lighter than lo mein, this is a great option. I love the texture of the thin noodles -Char Sui Bao: I half expected this to be store bought, but it was homemade! The bbq pork pieces were large and the sauce was not too sweet. The bun with soft and pillowy and it was just perfection. -Vegetable stir fry: I don't know if they accidentally gave this to us for free, but it was my husband's favorite dish. The sauce that it comes in is savory and slightly sweet/gingery. My son who doesn't normally eat vegetables was eating zucchini and mushrooms from this dish. We're excited to come back and try their chongquing spicy fried chicken and other dim sum items. Thank you!

There are seats to dine in, but this place is known for takeout so don't expect a fine dining room/experience.
