I wanted Chinese food so my husband and I ate here last night. I had chicken with broccoli and a few steamed dumplings. My stomach started cramping and making so much noise it woke me up at 4 am and you can imagine what came next, for hours. This was the only thing I had eaten all day yesterday. Eat here at your own risk.

It's really a shame that Mobile just can't seem to support a good Chinese take out place. I try, I really do by spending copious amounts of money at the few places we have here. I am sure my cardiologist would prefer I didn't but life is too short. I have tried China One several times now but sadly I just can't recommend them. Prices are fine and in alignment with all the others. And like most of the Chinese take out here you don't eat in the restaurant. , God no you would never eat in the restaurant. It's almost a meme for what a Chinese take out place looks like. Hazy, grease covered pics of some of the menu items above the order window that looks like a 1980''s DMV. One egg roll with my vehicle registration please. All that would be fine if the food was worth it but it's not. The food is soggy, clearly cooked in old oil (believe me you can tell) and just strange seasoning. They like garlic here I can tell you that. Vampires be warned. I gave 2 stars because in the end I did eat my meal as opposed to throwing it out. It's Chinese food. I love Chinese food and dang it I will eat it no matter how bad. God help me if I ever run across Chinese food I won't eat...that will be historic. Come on Mobile, take a break from opening all these nail places, Mexican restaurants and car washes and get us a good Chinese take out! I believe in you!

Watch them towards the end of the night. They will serve you reheated, soggy, limp food. They were closed once I got home and opened my plate. Been going to this place for years and I'm so disappointed that they would do anything like this.

Just moved to the area and decided to try this place. I wish I hadn't. First, lady was very rude while placing my order. I should have listened to my first mind and left. Anyway, I ordered orange chicken and beef and broccoli. Got home and after eating a few bites, found what appeared to be a piece of metallic Brillo pad in my beef and broccoli. Needless to say, I'm done with this place. Eat at your own risk.
The fried rice is not a traditional fried rice. It appears to be yellow rice with a “few” vegetables (mostly onions). No eggs seemed to be used in the cooking. No soy or sauce was used during cooking. General Tso’s chicken combo platter was over fried to the point of being inedible.Couldn’t recommend. Probably the least appealing Chinese food I’ve ever tried to eat.

I ordered the sesame chicken with pork fried rice. I will give credit the rice was good, But the super over breaded chicken, I peeled off the breading to find something, still looking. China one is right there will not be a second visit. I may not be able to cook the food but I do know poor quality. Being cheap and slight of hand will reduce your return customers

Oct 2022 Middle of the road Chinese place. I had the General Tso's chicken dinner (came with rice and egg roll) and a cup of Hot n' Sour soup. Overall impression = this is a business that your money. No real pride on the plate. Egg Roll: was at least 8/10. Great balance of flavors and crunch. 100% my favorite thing from this meal. General Tao's Chicken: It was okay. 6-6.5/10. The chicken was a bit soggy and the sauce used was generic. No spiciness at all, which was disappointing. Nothing special here. I've had MUCH better and MUCH worse. Rice: It was okay. 6-6.5/10. The rice tasted like it'd been sitting under a heat lamp for a while but still had decent flavor. I've had MUCH worse and MUCH better. Hot n' Sour soup: Missed the mark. 4/10. The soup has a nice base with great balance of flavors - but then it's overwhelmed with the flavor of lettuce. I've had a ton of Hn'S soup and this is the first time I've ever encounter lettuce in it. (Maybe it's bok choy? Hard to tell) Regardless, it detracts from the essence of the broth and overpowers the dish. Don't like it. But, it the lettuce was removed, might been a decent dish. Service: The lady who took my order was very transactional and businesslike. There was no hospitality besides a stern "thank you." This impersonal exchange is bound to negatively impact the business - especially in the South where passive-aggressiveness and judgmental "politeness" reign supreme. Atmosphere: I'd be shocked if anyone ever ate in the tiny little waiting room provided. But for the sake of the review, the sitting area is worn and grungy. Not inviting at all.
