China One Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Virginia

China One is underrated overall. This place has the ambience of a cheap place where college students might pick-up meals in a provincial Chinese city, blended with the garden variety American Chinese carryout place. In other words, it has an authentic grunginess. For what it purports to be, the food is unusually good, even undersold by the menu descriptions.

I don’t know what happened, the first time I got food there the price was right and the food was decent, today the second time I went (2/25/2024-3:30pm) the price was right but they should have paid me to eat that horrible food. It was the worst Chinese food I ever experienced. The house special egg foo young was like an under cooked mushy omelette. And the pork fried rice was yellow Spanish rice with very little pork in it.

The servers at the front are very nice! They are very nice,patient, and friendly. As a family operated business, they have been in this area for 2 decades! Serving the neighborhood with high quality of food at very affordable price! They always provide great customer service and amazing food! This is the BEST Chinese American carry out place in the town!

I place pick up order from them all the time. I also order for delivery occasionally. Although the delivery might be busy sometimes, but 40 mins is definitely worth waiting!

STRONGLY...
