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!!!

The takeout food from Golden China was by far the worst takeout Chinese we have ever had. We…read moreordered orange chicken and it was. Overcooked, dry, hard not crunchy and appeared to be sitting around for quite some time. While there was sufficient sauce. The dish itself was so hard and dried out that the sauce could not soften it up. We also had vegetable fried rice, which didn't resemble any vegetable fried rice we've ever had before and had very few vegetables in it. The only recognizable vegetable in the vegetable fried rice was onions.

Wings are small to medium and soked in a red dye. This can give a misconception of being undercooked. I ordered the lemon pepper wings. It would be closer to call them lemon salt eings. They were very salty with a hint of lemon. The egg roll was tasty but a little greasy. If I didn't have a good Chinese restaurant closer to my house, I would go back.

I ordered chicken and beef with veggies. No price was given, no time it would be ready, didn't ask for my name, just hung up the phone. The place is strange, random things being sold but the lady running the register was nice. My food on the other hand.. kinda gross. The veggies consisted of large chunks of half steamed broccoli, carrots and stems of some sort with thick uncooked onions and the beef and chicken was still frozen in some spots. The only thing that was actually tasteful and cooked was the rice. I probably wouldn't eat here again.
