China 1

This is spot I go to when I craving some Chinese Take Out. It’s small nothing special on the inside typical take out restaurant. They do have a small dining area too. Their Wonton soup the broth is on point. Wish they had more filling in the Wonton though. I usually get the chicken lo mein and egg foo young. My son usually gets sweet and sour chicken. Love all of it. Their mei fun dishes are good too! Full typical Chinese menu to pick from. So if you are looking for made to order, fast, no fancy fan fare this will satisfy your desires or cravings! Family owned and really nice people too! Love supporting local places.

My Mom loves these sort of «Chinese» joints, so I often frequent these places to get take out for her.
It’s decent. Not gross, not great…
Expect strictly fast food style Americanized Chinese food, nearly identical to the other small take-​out joints that seem to inhabit almost every strip mall in our area.
Expect yellow fried rice and all chicken dishes to be mainly thigh meat. For the entrees? Expect the same lonely trio of American Chinese flavor profiles: soy sauce, sweet, or spicy hot.
You won’t find much depth here, nor should you expect it. It’s really just fast food without a drive-​thru…

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 of the food items. Not the old China 1 it used to be sadly.

This is one of my favorite Chinese takeout restaurants — and I’m ½ 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 with the rice.
I usually get:
Vegetable Lo Mein
General Tso’s Chicken
Moo Shu Pork
Egg Rolls
Chicken Wings
Wow, Im drooling writing this review.
Dont forget to add an egg roll or two. So fresh, crispy, and NOT greasy at all.
Honestly, I cant even think of another Chinese place I would rather go to to get Chinese take out.
Even when I get home, the food is so steaming hot, that I need to let it cool down before I can eat it!
Finally, when Im done with my order they say «10 minutes» (yes, sterotypical blah blah blah) and I think «why cant I make food this good and fresh in 10 minutes?!» LOL
You will not be disappointed for trying this place.
You will thank me later! ;)

There are so many Chinese-​American takeout restaurants near my house. But, this location is the best from my experience. The building is brand new, and the interior is still nice and clean.
Maybe I am just really hungry whenever I visit China 1, but the food is really fresh and not too greasy. Crab Rangoons are not sweet, thank goodness. When I am craving steamed rice and too lazy to make it, I will order it take-​out, because China 1’s steamed rice has the texture and flavor that I am craving, close, cheap, and fast.
If I find any unique items here, will update the review.

Made to order, extremely tasty and fresh ingredients. Veggies cooked perfectly, lo mien very yummy! I will order here again– maybe tomorrow!

The owner is so sweet she makes you feel right at home food is very quick very easy and very fresh thank you again for my beautiful meal

This is one of my favorite Chinese fast food places. The food is surprisingly good. They all very much seem the same but this one is definitely run by family that basically lives out of the store. You can see the sun doing his homework in the front dining room and the daughter helping out in the kitchen and taking orders.

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 fridge to make it better.
I’ll keep placing orders for the teriyaki beef. Tasty!

Cheap delicious Chinese food! I love the food here, it is great. Especially the hot and sour soup :)

The food is delicious! We tried four items and they were all great. The staff is nice and accommodating.

Food isn’t bad, but everything is a bit greasy.

Hands down best Chinese in St. Petersburg.
Flavorful, not too salty, always cooked well.
Staff are alright too!

Was excited to see this place close to my office after having an amazing meal at their Brandon location.
Maybe it was because it was a busy lunch hour, but I wasn’t blown away. Cheap and good though.
Crab rangoon is awesome. The sweet/​sour chicken I had in Brandon was much better than this location’s.
I’ll give it another go though… for $ 5 you can’t beat that.

I had the shredded pork egg foo young, and it was delicious, along with the sauce and rice. A small restaurant mostly dealing with takeout, but I would definitely return whether I ate on the premises or not.
