Nice little carry-out for Chinese food with average, or maybe slightly above average food. I would definitely try it again.

I was late to picking up my order and they called twice to make sure I could find my way, worrying that the food may be cold when I got there- which totally would have been my fault if it was but not only was the food hot after bringing it home, it was delicious. We will be regular customers!!!!

I used to go here on my lunch break. But covid sent us to work from home. So now I drive from Madeira Beach to treat myself Because I think this is the BEST Chinese in the county.

I realize that experiences vary, even my favorite places mess up sometimes, but I’ve tried 4 or 5 different places since I moved to St Pete. This is the best “strip mall” Chinese that I’ve found. Great egg rolls, easily the best lo mein that I’ve found, Mongolian beef was tender and very tasty. My new go-to spot.

Although I did not get my egg roll 🤷, this place was amazing. Priced well, delivered extremely fast and hot! It has been a long time since I've had to wait on delivery food to cool down before I could eat it!!!! They also called to double check my order (I ordered online) with my combo so it would be right!!!!

To begin with, my boyfriend's order was mostly right except for the broccoli he asked to be well done so it wouldn't be so crunchy which it was so that wasn't right. But for my order I asked for a large Szechuan chicken which is supposed to come with rice. They ended up giving me a small with no rice and it was mostly shredded onions, celery, and carrots with a hint of chicken. I ordered Szechuan chicken not Szechuan onion. My boyfriend called them to complain but then decided to just call Great Wall (who we usually order from it's just they've gotten a bit expensive) and ordered a large Szechuan

So it was our first time trying this place as we wanted Chinese takeout tonight and read some good reviews at first but guess we should've kept on reading :/ food arrived pretty stale and cold, even after arriving only 10 mins after placing the order. Really cheap so I guess we had our suspicions but this food just wasn't good. The sweet and sour was the only redeeming meal. Other than that the general tsos was just gross. Tasted nothing like chicken, purple blackish chicken and way too dry, just not what general tsos is actually like. And the dumplings were lumpy and not properly steamed

This is the best takeout Chinese food in St. Petersburg, noting that decent Takeout can be hard to find. Excellent Shrimp with lobster sauce, beef with broccoli, egg foo yong, and wonton soup. I drove all the way from the South Pasadena area to go there. There's a plexiglass counter area, but with a bad buzzing speaker. Food is great for takeout, however.

I ordered chicken egg foo young with chicken fried rice, and fried dumplings. The fried dumplings taste good but they forgot the sause... one star lost. The egg foo young was a bit under cooked... I'm not a fan of slimy eggs. The other star was lost in the packaging. .. this was by far the greasiest bag I've ever seen... unfortunately I didn't notice until I got home, which of course means it's all over my car seat 😡.

Food used to be good here about a year ago. Since then they started letting one of their kids cook the food and every dish is very dry. No sauce, no flavor just dry. I unfortunately avoid this place most times unless it is the only place open.

Been going here for a couple of years, I think it was recently sold because I have not seen the usual owners and the last two times we have gotten food from here somebody has gotten sick. Chicken from chicken broccoli was spoiled and some were not fully cooked and tough yesterday and I’ve spent all night with food poisoning. My 7 year old could tell right away something was strange about the chicken, I had my doubts at first because all the brown sauce masked some of that spoiled flavor.

Chinese food is always a treat especially during Covid times. We have decided to minimize out exposure and rarely go out or order takeout. So our order was sesame chicken, boneless spare ribs, crab rangoon, egg foo young, chicken on a stick, beef on a stick and steam wontons. This food would normally last us into Monday. The only thing that was fresh and was normal was the egg foo young.

The remaining items we got were less then fair in taste. Now I know that Chinese food isn't health and prepared in large qualities. I've had Chinese food from all over the states, this was by

I have eaten in this "mom and pop" restaurant for years. My children grew up eating here, and I saw the owner's children grow up as well. The food is excellent, the service is efficient. One very good development: recently the restaurant has been remodeled, so it is now a good place to eat in as well as taking out-although I have always eaten in.

Americanized-CHINESE fast food yes, but maybe the BEST in Pinellas county here?

Expect yellow fried rice, but many of us grew up on this sort of "Asian" takeout, right?

Their honey chicken is excellent, as well as the soups, egg rolls, and rangoon.

The real plus here? The service...

Maybe just 10 years old or so? The young boy working the register and taking walk-in orders...

A family run joint, that kid works SO hard, and by his choice, we played many rock/paper/scissors games, while I waited for my food.

So dedicated to the family business, that little kid's happy attitude

Good and very inexpensive Chinese food! I told them to raise the price and the owner refused. She wants to keep the costs low for her patrons.
I am practically there every week for the steamed shrimp and vegetables with a spicy sauce on the side.

I choose three stars because the other two people I are with really liked their food but I did not. I ordered the lunch special-chicken with garlic sauce. There was a ton of bamboo which is a overwhelming flavor in my opinion and the chicken was hacked up and kinda gamey. The pork fried rice that came with my meal was good, exactly what you'd expect from a fast food Chinese place. The other two people ordered general tsos and sesame chicken, neither had any complaints about it. I will definitely be returning and just order something else as the service was good and so are the prices!

I used to go here for the Crab Rangoon, would literally only order Crab Rangoon. It was made fresh in house. Every Crab Rangoon was different and filled to the brim with a delicious sweet crab and cheese filling. They were also fried to perfection. On my visit last night which was the first time in several years I ordered Crab Rangoon and it came out as small perfectly shaped triangles. Clearly purchased through distribution and previously frozen. I asked the lady who took my order what changed and she explained that her family took over the restaurant several years ago and they changed some

This is one of my favorite Chinese takeout restaurants - and I'm 1/2 Chinese! LOL

The food is made to order. The Moo-Shu Pork typically has egg in it. Whenever I order, I always request no egg. Since the food is fresh (again made to order) I get to have one of my favorite meals, just the way I like it!

I always get the chicken wings - YUM! OMG its so good.

My kids love the beef broccoli. Absolutely delicious. Most places the beef is soooo fatty. To the point, its disgusting and you cant even eat it.
Not here. Plus, you get get enough juice / sauce with it that it mixes so

Well well well. Being able to notice the subtle nuances in take out Chinese takes years of being hung over and perfecting recovery of such.

China One is consistent. Day in day out, month after month and year after year you know exactly what you are getting. Within a 5 mile radius you have 3-4 options to choose from and thank me later for picking for you.

Menu is typical take out menu (I think if any restaurant deviates from the standard format The Gods would frown upon that) so I look at the quality control when it comes to Chinese. China1 always maintains great standards with fresh vegetables

China 1 is getting three stars from this gal due to the food being just fine for a quick something to eat on a busy night after work.
I absolutely love their teriyaki beef skewers appetizer. The meat is flavorful, tender, juicy and awesome. I truthfully could eat those and an egg roll and call it a meal. However on this trip I also ordered a "C25" better known as Bourbon Chicken with fried rice and an egg roll combo.
I really liked the texture of the chicken and had high hopes for the flavor but sadly flavor wise the dish fell short. It needed some Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce from my
