China One — Restaurant in Temecula

Alright folks, I have mood changes faster than a Snowman on the East Coast being Melted and then frozen into a solid rock on a cold winter’s day when I decide on dinner. I have never eaten, let alone heard of this place known as “China One” which sort of reminds me of Star Trek. I can’t explain so don’t ask me…NCC-Kung Pao Me…I don’t know. On to the point of things…

This was most excellent and trust me, I have my allegiances around town as I’m picky about my cuts of Chicken and this restaurant met my expectations. I ordered Chicken in Hot Garlic Sauce (I requested Medium Heat to see where it would be as it was my first order), Vegetable Egg Rolls, and Pot Stickers.

I will move into the review as I don’t want to read a million words either…

As always, the first photos are “As Delivered” with one being completely as delivered and the other showing the food pleasure that is about to be wonderful. Trust me, when I opened it the smell of the heat from the peppers and the food was amazing. If you appreciate a good Salsa that is made right, you’’ without a doubt appreciate this perfect balance of heat and pleasure with each bite. But first, we must proceed to the “appetizer round” of this mystery!

I got all excited about the appetizer portion of this meal. The Dog was groaning at me by this point as he smelled it so that means it was great! Holy smokes, while I plated this myself, the quality was excellent. Arrived in perfect condition and flavor was excellent. I do wish there was just a bit more sauce to dip in. I don’t get greedy, but I can see that if you had someone other than one person, that could get complicated. I included a few photos of the Pot Stickers and the Egg Rolls so you could see what they look like. Both were simply just divine to my taste buds. Neither one arrived saturated with cooking oil. I can write a million fancy words about both, but photos say much more in this case. If I were to add a line of context to the photo of the Egg Roll (Shown with Entrée), one could easily say this was perfectly cooked and honestly the Pot Sticker came to the party too.

Rice was perfect. Some folks ask about that

Now, onto the entrée of which I posted multiple photos, which include on the last few a rare sighting of the Egg Roll partly devoured for scientific purposes. Seriously though, the texture in the Egg Roll was excellent and you should try it dipped in the sauce.

Back to the point… Not only was the main course all white meat Chicken, but I had specifically requested “Medium” heat as most times it isn’t hot enough for me. They did an excellent job, and you’ll see in the photos that such was the case. They even had a little trick, but I’m not going to disclose that. Respect for the Chef. Genius move as I would have never thought of that. Y’all will just have to order to put the pieces of that puzzle together. Everything about this “Chicken in Hot Garlic Sauce” was just plain awesome.

Final Thoughts:

I’ve never tried this place, but I WILL be ordering from them again! The quality was excellent! Hands down they nailed everything on the flavors. I cannot quite give enough praises for this place. As it is local, and I’m all about supporting local restaurants, please take the time to give them a try. I don’t think that you’ll be...

Heard about this China One location from my play brother so I finally stopped by to try it out!!! Came during lunch hour, wasn't busy at all so seating was comfortable...but do have to point out that it's VERY COLD if you seat yourself at the table(s) with the air vents directly over them! Service was okay in the beginning but towards the end 100% A+++++ from one of the young men who closed out my bill "Thank You Very Much" FOOD was good and served in a HUGE PORTION.....i did notice on the menu it seemed much...So I asked if I could order 1 lunch meal and jist add 1 side to share with my mother. ( Only Rude Moment) the older waiter told me NO, can not do that...and Mother only wanted Noodles But he said rice had to be the other side. Food DID come quickly...himot and served fresh😉 Portions were VERY LARGE, FELT I could have served 3 person's off 1 plate comfortably, lol Overall people!!!! Good food full of flavor, clean environment, friendly staff. Would I recommend China One to others??? Why of course I would!!!! We'd eat there again ourselves but just may place order for delivery so I can portion...

First off XieXie to the staff at this place. Brought my wife here for lunch and I have to say I liked it ALOT. For a FAST and VERY TASTEFUL Chinese food joint this is the spot!! They had Lunch specials going on and very well worth the price. I had the General Chicken and everything was freakin' good!! I mean some places I've been to the food all taste the same for some odd reason but not this joint! I mean the veggies were fresh and snappy if that's even a word. The chicken was nice and crunchy and full of flavor. Lunch specials come with Soup and half rice and half noodles. My have had the sesame chicken and she loved it all as well. Oh and the salt and pepper wings were awesome!!! I had orderd a coke for me and the wife to share and they still brought out a complimentary water and ice without me asking for it which I found to be pretty cool. Overall great place for lunch time Chinese food fix! I will definitely be back when I'm in this area. Great food Even...
