Quick service, easy to find location, and delicious food. I would have liked to experience more menu items but what we ordered was great.

When I came inside was ignored by the gentleman by the counter & then a lady came & helped me. read more

Immediately walking in the women behind the counter was yelling to loud the gentleman couldn't take my order he asked her serval times to tone it down and she said no. So he did his best to help me, it's extremely hot inside it actually feels better outside and it's summer in Fl. The food was ready rather fast, the fried chicken was good but the shrimp rolls legit just tasted like raw shrimp . Idk I wouldn't go back again. read more

Not sure why it's rated so low. We low trying different Chinese places and this one is SOLID. Every time.

The food was horrible. Don't waste your money or time going here. The meat in every order we had was VERY overcooked. It was tough and mostly inedible. One order was chicken and fried rice. Even the chicken was horrible. The rice was okay. If you want any meat,don't bother. I'm not picky,just being honest. read more

Ordered delivery for steamed dumplings and orange chicken combo. Simply, the food was not good. The dumplings were so bland that the only flavor was from the dipping sauce. Same with the egg roll and fried rice. No flavor. The orange chicken was dry, mostly breading and too sweet. Will never order here again. read more

China 1 is still on point. Food well prepared and very tasty. Everything was cooked well and had lots of flavor. Fried rice not over or under cooked. General Taos Chicken had the right amount of heat level. Shrimp Lo Mein a good amount of shrimps through out the noodles and also the chicken in the Chicken Lo Mein. This location continues to be consistent in providing good food. read more

the question is what could not improve? The food was a massive disappointment from the oily soup to the premade fried dumplings. The fried rice had zero taste, the boneless ribs were fair. The restaurant it self could have been cleaner with junk sitting everywhere. First and last time visit read more

Went to China 1 a few days ago. Had the General Toes chicken. Sorry to say it was the worst I've ever had. It literally was not eatable. It's like they used scrap chicken instead of white meat. I don't think I'll be going back any time soon. read more

What in theeee hellll is wrong with you people? I can't eat there unless I bring cash or spend over $15.00???? How arrogant can you be? 6-14-2023 7:45 pm I was told to go someplace else when I tried ordering one of your dinners that totaled $12.00 You don't ever have to worry about me ever bothering you again. read more

Finding Chinese food is usually pretty easy. Finding good Chinese food that doesn't require a long drive is not as easy. I'm happy to say that China 1 is good Chinese food! I ordered the General Tso's lunch special via Uber Eats. Even with Uber's markup, the price was fair for such a large portion AND a can of soda. The food was tasty and well prepared and didn't give me any issues. I was very happy with it. The flavor was good and it satisfied my craving. Here's what I disliked: The egg roll was just okay, it was your garden variety egg roll and lacked flavor and texture. The fried rice isn't your traditional fried rice. It's more of a yellow color ( I've seen that at other places) and doesn't taste like soy. It's tasty, just not what I expected. This is more of an Uber Eats platform thing, but if you look at China1's website, you can order General Tso's with varying spice levels, and the dish is usually somewhat spicy. Uber Eats doesn't have a way to specify your spice level, so I'm guessing that they default to not spicy. I would have liked my dish to default to a level of spice. The Coke was a little flat as well, not sure if that was a delivery issue or a stock issue. Overall, a good place and I'll definitely be back! read more

China 1 - General Tso's chicken lunch special - Chinese Near Me - Apollo Beach, Florida

I was a walk-in customer. I ordered sesame chicken and general tso's chicken with fried' rice. The rice was hard, I was not able to eat it. Their version of fried rice was white rice with yellow food coloring. The chicken was so overcooked, it was difficult to chew and swallow. Absolutely horrible! The service is also a lot to be desired. The woman at the counter was on a personal call and yelling, I had a hard time placing my order. Extremely disappointed with the entire experience. read more

The food is good but their prices have gone up too much for me. If you are craving egg rolls this is a good place if you don't mind paying 10 bucks for two egg rolls. read more

The food has always been pretty good. They are fast at service and nice to deal with when ordering. I go here weekly.

Ordered 3 dinner special for my family, including 2 kids. I usually have a good experience but this time was awful. The sesame chicken and general tso chicken was EXTREMELY hard to the point where it couldn't be eaten. I called to ask if there's anything that can be done and they said for a refund to be considered, I would have to drive all the way back to the store. I have 2 kids, under 3, and can't go back. I told them I wouldn't be coming back and they said "we don't care, we don't need your business" They were extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. Spare ma, pound sand China 0 read more

I order from this place all the time. I usually get there boneless spare ribs and fried rice. There chicken wings are pretty good too!

I wish I could give less to be honest. My husband and I went to pick up our order after a rainy tiring day. Items were missing and some were burned and dry. Then my husband found a long black hair in his food. It was so disgusting I didn't and wouldn't eat my food. When I called for a refund they said the lady was very rude and said she would only refund the item with the hair and to bring it in. That's disgusting like I'm going to drive with that. My husband said it was not worth the drive. So unacceptable and inexcusable on their behalf. Never going there again. Last few reviews were good so I thought it give it a shot. Big mistake. read more

Went today for lunch & ordered the shrimp fried rice. It was a little greasy. I called ahead & when I arrived my order was ready so I didn't have to wait. The restaurant was not open for indoor seating but I was able to come inside. The last time I was there they were not allowing customers inside due to covid. The food wasn't as good as I remembered from my last visit. I may give it another shot but not sure read more

Every order since the new ownership has been disappointing. We've finally given up and stopped ordering from here. It's obvious that were not the only ones, because I never see any other customers while picking up this year. Food ordered extra spicy is mostly sweet. The hot and sour soup is neither hot nor sour. The location is close and easy for us. So sad we have to take it off our list. read more

I'm pretty sure these were left overs from the eat before, refried In like old oil or just rewarmed!? The texture was horrible seemed like it was all breading no meat feeling. The worst Chinese orange chicken I've ever eaten. read more

China 1 - two plastic containers with food in them - Chinese Near Me - Apollo Beach, Florida

My wife and I Love Chinese food and we were very hopeful that China 1 would be our go-to place. We heard some people giving the restaurant positive reviews so we stopped in for dinner. The place is spartan and although there are a handful of tables, it clearly is not a dine-in restaurant. The menu is big and has all of the typical fare. We ordered pan fried dumplings, a large wonton soup and an order of chicken lo mein. The restaurant threw in an egg roll with the order. The dumplings were, by far, the best of the meal. The won ton soup was extremely bland and the dumplings were very thick. The lo mein had very little chicken was very salty. The egg roll was pretty decent. The prices were ok, as were the portions. Overall, it was just Ok. We will continue our search read more

I wanted to love this place because I love Chinese food and it's close by. The menu is extensive and prices are reasonable. There are plenty of people working there so food is prepared quickly. Now for the disappointing part. The food was all bland. We had won ton soup, fried dumplings, egg rolls and chicken lo mein. The won tons in the soup were large and filled well. Problem was the dough was so thick it is all you could taste. Even the broth had no flavor, just a bland broth. The egg rolls were also very full of ingredients, but no flavor stood out. Dipping them in duck and mustard sauce made them taste better, but they should be that way on their own. The dumplings were probably my favorite, but again, it was because of the dipping sauce they provide. The lo mein was the biggest disappointment. Just a bunch of noodles, very little chicken, and no flavor. We didn't even keep the leftovers because we knew we wouldn't eat them. So bummed, as I really wanted this to be my "go to"place. read more

I ordered from DoorDash. Received the wrong order. Ordered again. The Entree was all onions and four shrimp, sweet instead of the advertised hot and spicy. I doubt I will order from here again. read more

Was so so ! The wings were not crispy . And no favor . It was cold . Just here on vacation. It might have been a bad day . read more

We just our food via Uber east and that sh:t was fire. Wife had the bourbon chicken and I had general Tso chicken. It will be a new routine.

Reliable interpretation of Chinese takeout classics. Mostly New York style. Convenient location and good customer service -- I've experienced a few errors but they were corrected quickly and cheerfully. For better prices, order directly from the restaurant and not through a service. Also, for takeout, it's conveniently next door to a liquor store. read more

1st time trying China 1 and we will definitely be back! Best sesame chicken I've had in a while and their bourbon chicken is amazing! Definitely try the spring rolls as well! So much flavor. Cleanest Chinese restaurant we have ever walked into! We will definitely be back. read more

This place is such a crapshoot. Sometimes is can be really good food, but more often it is not. It seems to depend on who is in the back cooking. Last night, the sweet n sour chicken was over cooked and just not that tasty. The beef teriyaki sticks were dried out. Paid $34 and got 0 satisfaction n read more

Do not recommend this place and will never return. Found it online so figured I'd give it a try with my wife for dinner. Prices on website were reasonable. Went to pick up my food and everything was almost double the website price. I didn't order through Uber eats or anything where they jack up the price. Beware of this place. Very unhappy. read more

Without Question... A year later, this is THE Best Chinese food in the Apollo Beach / Ruskin area. Ordering was fast, simple and easy. So here is what we got and what I recommend without question: -Hot & Sour soup Qt ($2.99): My go to...Loved it - Wonton Soup Qt ($3.49): Good broth and Lots of Won Tons -Orange Chicken ($10.19) & Gen Tsos ($9.99): A-Okay; crisp meat, not soggy -Moo Goo Gai Pan Qt ($8.99): Lots of Chicken The other best part - the staff once you get there. Service is fast, polite: From call in to pick up 15 minutes Will we keep coming back? But of course...this is OUR go-to for Chinese food in Apollo/Ruskin and Riverview read more

I have to eat gluten-free and I've never had an issue with their shrimp in lobster sauce. it tastes great and comes with a lot of very large shrimp. Great quality! They honored my special requests for the Singapore Mei Fun as well. They also have a very delicious looking Thai Iced Tea that I can't wait to try one day when I have more time! read more

Great food at a reasonable price, the team brings good quality service and tasteful food.2ups!

Food is always good. If you want it extra crispy ask for it. I find people complain but fail to ask for what they really want. If you want it extra spicey ask for it! read more

The online menu and prices are outdated and incorrectly stated. Food was just subpar. Ordered honey chicken and it was over saturated in sauce and extremely soggy. The woman who answered the phone had an attitude when I ordered and wanted to add something additional to my order. You would think adding more to the order would be better business for them. In any case I won't be returning. read more

I just had my first (not my last) meal from China 1 which is right around the corner from my house. I read the reviews before I went over and was so happy and pleased to see something new to try. Singapore Mei Fun was so delicious and the portions were incredible, I was so excited when I got the food that I didn't take pictures of the food before we started eating. We were treated by the owner to try some free Cheese Rangoon which was really delish. The portions, did I mention the portions! WOW. I loved this food, only con was there was no delivery, thankfully they are right around the corner. I will definitely order from them again. Try the General Tso Chicken, Seet and Sour Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken were all delish. read more

Best Chinese in this area!! Amazing food, service, and prices! They are so great to this customers.

Delicious food! Wish they served Honey Garlic chicken, but other than that can't complain!

We ordered from our favorite Chinese takeout tonight and everything was off. New ownership and management has definitely brought this place down hill. The guy who takes your order over the phone and manages the counter is extremely rude. Yelling at you in a rude tone saying " is that it" after each item. I should have known then to cancel my order and say forget it. Everything was off and tasted poorly. The egg roll was not editable. Our traditional order of two combination plates and an order of fried wontons went from $21 to $27. I asked how our order got so high and he stated the prices changed yesterday. I will post the new menu for others to have before you order. Fried Wontons went from $3.50 to $5.39. I asked if the ownership has changed and he rudely tells me he has only been there for a month and he doesn't know. Ummm yeah ok buddy. Beware. New owner. New chef and now rude counter guy who likes to yell at you when you ask a question. read more

Had to drive all the way back to this place when they got our order wrong. Then just when we thought it was fixed, they screwed it up again. Very disappointed. And they were unapologetic. read more
