China 1 — Restaurant in Panama City

It's old, but the taste is legendary.

The place is not a fine dining date night kind of place, but hear me out: the food is as good as it gets. I tried panda express and chow time around here, but I would say China 1 has got it right when it comes to authentic chinese cooking.

I know that not to be true because it was always delicious when I got it before for the lunch special or for the combination platter for dinner. I will never recommend this place again. All the best Chinese restaurants never serve chicken in brown sauce. They automatically prepare it with white sauce without having...

I was looking for a place to eat and came across this restaurant . It looks ok from the outside but the inside is absolutely filthy. I ordered food anyway and ran an errand with the intention of coming back for my food but I just couldn’t do it. The credit card machine on the counter was covered in grease and had bits of food on it , the floor behind the counter was dirty , the plastic separating the kitchen was black and dirty , the beverage machine behind the counter was disgusting. I can’t understand how they run a business like this. I’m from NY, this place would never...
