China One — Restaurant in Lebanon

The staff was very nice so I really hate to leave such a bad review but while still (partially) edible this was hands down the worst Chinese I've ever had. The rice was crunchy, the eggroll kind of just fell apart as the huge, lengthy strips pulled out with every bite and my chicken... My precious sesame chicken! Mostly small crunchy chunks with no insides but even worse were the pieces actually containing chicken! "Can chicken be like this?" I silently screamed in my head. It was so stringy, I just couldn't rip, tear, shred or grind the meat with my pathetic human teeth. It actually scratched my throat on the way down. I had to stop eating a little over a third of the way in. I may return because of the other reviews being so positive, maybe it was a one off but phew, that was... Really bad.

Small addition after re-reading my review, I also order the Chinese donuts which were very good. Basically giant donut holes sprinkled with powdered sugar. I couldn't help but start with one while they were still hot and fresh, it really set me up for...

1/1/25 i believe the owners have changed recently or over the past year? We skip the buffets and do Chinese food take out for New Years tradition. China One still has exceptional American Chinese food. The boneless pork ribs, pork fried rice, Mie Fun, lo mein and crab ragoon are done really well! The meat on a stick, chicken & beef teriyaki were both not really on the mark for teriyaki flavor and the beef was bubble gum chewy. The folks behind the counter were very friendly and the store was bright and clean. We know what we like and just order. The pictured food ran us $70-$80… The price seemed a bit high to be honest, but tradition is tradition and good Chinese food can be hard to come by.

Old review:Not since I left the Boston area have I found American Chinese...

I'd give a 4.5 stars total. I've never had any issues, staff have always been super friendly, call-in orders done on time, food was hot, food was correct, and overall tastes good. The inside is just plain, and there is no sitting inside to eat, but hey, it doesn't have to be fancy to pick up your food. I will not say that it's the BEST Chinese I've ever had but I still enjoy the food very much, just wish there was more vegetables in the fried rich and noodles and sometimes I would like to have a more powerful flavor from the General Tso's chicken. However, I still eat here often and enjoy it every time. The crab rangoons are great and if you enjoy spicy food then give the Singapore...
