Used to come here twice a week while at NIU, but the place has declined since then. Covid really hurt the restaurant. The staff are still super nice. But there's no longer a buffet lunch or even a fountain soda machine. The flavors were still good, but not at the same level I would expect from the higher price point. If I still lived nearby I'd probably still eat here, but at the distance I would have to travel now, I'll skip.

If you aren’t getting the teriyaki chicken on a stick with crab rangoon, you’re doing yourself a service. I consistently order large quantities of both because it is truly so GOOD

I love this small chinese takeout restaurant. You technically can eat in the restaurant if you want im sure but its mostly set up for takeout as thats what most customers do.

Save yourself a headache and just order over the phone and pick up your order in person. Ive never had issues doing it this way ⭐️

The staff who always is working here is very friendly and patient despite always cooking. If you need larger orders they can make party trays for you.

The food is a little expensive for the quality but I love supporting this local business instead of paying similar money for even cheaper mass produced food from Panda Express.

They have a huge selection of dishes and plenty of good combos depending on if you want just the signature dish or also some fried rice and a soda or egg roll thrown in with the dish. I love the variety. They have some free sauce packets you can take if you need with the to-go orders. Its nice that they have these freely available.

I usually get the orange or sesame chicken here combo with the pork fried rice and an egg roll. Theres hardly any apparent pork or pork flavor in the pork fried rice but its much better than a combo with plain white rice 🤣

Their crab rangoons are a little bit disappointing quality for the price. I would like to see them change the crabrangoons in the future if possible.

If you havent gotten a new paper menu in a few months it might be worth picking up a new one as sometimes the prices or coupons will change over time. Check the back of the menu for the coupons you can get a free item added to your order if you ask them about it when you order!

I have watched the journey of this restaurant through out the years and i will say it is sad to see how much they are struggling today.
We ordered for pick up last night and out food was ready within 20min. The food was delicious and the lady that worked there was super friendly and made sure we had everything before leaving. I do wish she had more help with her establishment and i hope many people see this and understand how good this food is! Shop small!!

First of all that you can see in the second photo when you order through Uber Eats it says include pork fried rice without an option to add that so I thought it meant it came with pork fried rice it doesn't. Instead it comes with white rice I got the small portions because I just want to see if it tastes good they do have carrots in their beef and chicken with broccoli which not every restaurant does that anymore. The Wonton soup broth could be more flavorful other than that I don't have any issues with this meal I will be ordering again

Fantastic spot for Chinese food in the area, fried rice especially was some of the best I've had from a takeout place! Price was also great, will definitely become a regular spot for me :)

I order takeout from here often. The portions are very fair for the price. I have always liked their shrimp, chicken, and pork dishes. Great noodles, mai fun and lo mein. They will accommodate if you prefer more spice in your dishes. Very lovely owners.

I have been craving this for weeks. I had the crab Rangoon and the Triple Delight. Plus, sweet bread for dessert. It was all delicious. There was enough food to eat for 2 meals.
Thank you, China One.

I have eaten here for years but the quality has gone down tremendously. For example the pot stickers were great and now both filling and dipping sauce are terrible. What a shame.

If I could rate this place a zero i would!! Flavorless, bland, small portions. Food was terrible! 10$ for a small shrimp fried rice. This was in a container for a side entre of white rice, Not a regular portion. They sell them in pints and quartz not standard small medium and large sizes. Don't waste your money here. Very disappointing

I’m usually not too critical when it comes to food, but the food here was actually so disgusting. My family went for my dad’s birthday and my god was it the worst decision to be made. It was slimy, flavorless, and had the most disgusting aftertaste. The only things that were decent was their spring rolls because it was frozen and they just heated it up. Their service was okay, but even their tables were disgusting and sticky and it made my sleeves dirty from just touching it. Overall it was just a terrible experience and such a waste of $90

Fast service and reasonable in price. Friendly. They have the best egg rolls I've ever tasted!! I'm sorry but I wouldn't suggest getting the garlic chicken ??. I usually order the fried rice.
