china1 — Restaurant in Mount Airy

I've been getting takeout from China One for years and generally been pretty happy about it but the last few times I've gotten food from there, I've been disappointed. I placed an order a few days ago and all of their prices have gone up by at least a couple of dollars. That's a sign of the times.

They could have used my credit card fraudulently, or even just not called me, but they did the right thing, and that is admirable these days.
