I moved to the Lexington/Gilbert area of SC over a year ago from NY. You may not know this, but NY…read moreis the home of the absolute best pizza and Chinese food ANYWHERE. That said, since I have been on my new hometown, here in SC, I have been in search of both. I'll leave the pizza discussion for my review of the best pizza place and I'll focus here on the BEST CHINESE FOOD in the Lexington/Gilbert/Leesville-Batesburg areas. That place, THE BEST CHINESE FOOD is China 1 at 245 W. Columbia Ave. The food is made fresh as you wait, the food is nuclear hot temperature, so it's hot when you get home with your take-out. The meats like the pork in the fried rice is perfectly flavored and perfectly trimmed. No fat in mine whatsoever. This is my new go to place for Chinese food and it's a 15-20 minute drive each way, but so worth it. Great food, great prices and it is a 16 or so year old, family owned business. One of the best parts of my experience there was the owner brought my food out and a lady named "Sunshine" who was working the counter cashed me out. I think her name is Kiaun, but I'll stick with "Sunshine". She is as much a part of the family there as anyone in the kitchen. Those are my words based on my observations and from talking to Sunshine and a long time customer who was there that same time I was. Just her sunny disposition and incredible vibe is a reason to try the place, and you'll keep coming back for the food and to see Sunshine. She has been working there for almost as long as the restaurant has been open. They have an incredible selection of chicken wing flavors. A pic of the wing menu is in the photos attached. As far as ambiance or atmosphere, the place is a Chinese restaurant, the majority of whose business is take-out. That said, it was clean, it was busy and had tables to sit at in the event you can't wait to get home to eat the best Chinese food in SC. Sit down, chill out, enjoy your food and chances are you're gonna see your neighbors come and pick-up and you might even meet a friend who you haven't met yet. I've included a menu shot and some food pics!!! See you there!!!

It's loud, there is a robot roving around and their portion sizes are ridiculous. The prices are high but I guess in proportion to the portions the price is relevant. However one can't even take a bite of a sandwich because it is so big. I just want a regular sandwich not three extra meals for the week. I ordered a French dip sandwich. It came in a metal tray and was sitting in about a cup of liquid. There was no dipping. It was completely soggy and disgusting. My partners sandwich was too big to bite. Because of the robot deliveries the waitress could barely get your table and rarely showed up to fill our drinks. Very disappointed.

Lukewarm (literally live less than 2 miles from the location) and sauce everywhere in the bottom of the bag, no straw included.

2.5 stars. They are a new spot however I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm looking inside…read moreout and unsure of the standards but it was not up-to-par from entering the establishment. We weren't really greeted by a server/host til a few minutes of standing there. As we sat down, we didn't get menus for about 6-7 minutes then the waitress didn't introduce her then took our drink order followed by a few minutes coming back with 2 out of 4 drinks including the 2 other drinks took another 15 minutes to get a water and a beverage. The waitress took our food order right after taking another tables order ultimately a long story short messed up the timing of the food coming out for both tables; when the other table was there before us. Our food came out basically one at a time with the all, wrong app, coming out with the entrees and we didn't get our right app until end of our meals. What made up for the half star in this rating is that the pizzas are quite decent and tasty by the lake and a plus they serve good quality gluten free crust and toppings. This place can be a hotspot for the locals once they figure out the kinks in the armor, providing the southern hospitality and make sure food & drinks come out in a timely manner; no matter the staffing issues and should informed to the consumers if that's the case. We will come back after a few more months. P.S the service did get half star better when our initial server went home for being sick then the wonderful waitress who took over made sure we were good.

Plenty of cheese, cooked to order and flavorful thick patties are topped with a toasted bun. If you like local, road food type establishments then you will enjoy it here. The door is usually open due to lack of air conditioning and flies are part of the experience. Little room to sit even though the diner is full of chairs. You probably share a table with a stranger, soon to be friend.
