They over charged me and think it’s ok. I made the mistake of placing an order online. I went to what I thought was their actual website to place an online order. as I was placing my order I saw 15.99 for sesame chicken and thought, wow, inflation is real. Then as I tried to check out, the website demanded I enter a number for their tip. Never happened before, so I put a zero because I was paying cash. The bill was a little more than what I expected but I needed it so I placed the order. When I arrived I grabbed one of there menus to look at when I got home. Guess what??? They charge $13.95 for sesame chicken if ordered in the store but charged me $15.99 because I ordered it online. Really?? Then they tacked on 4.5% for ordering online. Again really?? I was picking up. I was even nice after over paying for my food and gave them a tip. Wouldn’t have if I had known they were over charging me a total of $6 and some change. When my wife called up to ask for an explanation the girl was rude and told us we should just call and not order from a third party website. I didn’t think we had. I purposely didn’t order from DoorDash but the one that said china one. So they are getting away with ripping me off, but lost me forever as a customer. I will not deal with a dishonest business. They involved themselves with third parties and have no problem with them charging me extra.

I've never been so frustrated with this place. Eighty five dollars, and one bag of food. The receipt said sixty six dollars. I actually paid eighty five. This place is a complete ripoff

One of the best Chinese food spots in the Palmetto area! The crab ragoon is one of my favorite dishes to eat from here!

We were looking for a really good Chinese food place. We found one in China 1. We picked up our order, it was still hot when we got back home. The order was correct ( a problem with other restaurants ). I wanted to tell everyone that the decision to order from China 1 was the right decision. The portions were exceeding our expectations and the food was excellent. The order was packaged very well in containers that were appropriate for the amount of food we received. The sweet and sour chicken was tender, juicy and hot, with plenty of sweet and sour sauce. The rice was cooked perfectly, light, fluffy , not dried out. The steak and brocolli was really great. The right amount of sauce.. The eggrolls were also tender, not tough, and not dry. They were really good. We received plenty of napkins, utensils and again, the amount of food that was unexpected. For anyone wanting really great Chinese food, give this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed !! I will recommend China 1 to all my friends and family to go there. I don't believe there is delivery but pick-up. is fast and easy. Give them a try and ENJOY !!!

The people inside were really nice and got my Togo order together fairly quickly but sadly the food was way underwelming especially for the price. The seafood dish i order which should have had shrimp scallops and crab only had a few pieces of imitation crab and a weird goopy sauce that was partially congealed, the fried rice had a stale re-heated taste like it was cooked days ago and reheated, the crab Rangoon was fresh but didn't include any sweat sour sauce and had no crab in it, just cream cheese, wasn't horrible just not what I was wanting/expecting. The poo poo platter should have had beef on a stick but had some type of white meat, couldn't tell if it was chicken or pork but either way it was the greaseir fattier cuts, the rest was ok but again no sweat sour sauce for anything so was dry and disappointing
Probably will not go back but may give it another shot but for a smaller order ( I ordered two meals and two appetizers and fried rice it cost over $100 after taxes and fees etc )

Customer service was horrible. Girl who took order was extremely rude. I needed to ask questions because I was not ordering for myself and she snapped back at me. Definitely overpriced for what you get. $1.50 for four fortune cookies that were stale

The fried rice tasted literally like nothing. The sweet and sour chicken wasn’t crispy and the meat was nasty
