Fast no fuss great Chinese takeout. We had been searching since we moved here for a go to Chinese place and I think we found it. I asked for extra spicy and they took that personally I think it was blistering hot but still delicious. Staff was super friendly on the phone and at pickup. read more

China 1 Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Rockford, Michigan

We stumbled upon China 1 while shopping in Rockford. The place is primarily take out, but when I asked if we could sit and eat, they were very accommodating. The staff was nice and friendly. Took out order, provided excellent service. We started with soups. The hot and sour was not to our liking, the egg drop was decent, but the wonton was amazing. Everything else we ate was very good. Fried rice, orange chicken, shrimp lo mein, and cashew chicken were all excellent. Egg rolls were crispy on the outside and quite tasty. Next time we are in Rockford, we will be back. read more

As I expected, a return trip here with other menu items paid off. The hunan beef, sesame chicken, and spring rolls were all good, worth ordering again. Note that the spring rolls are really egg rolls, and the sesame chicken is quite sweet, not much savory. read more

There are not a Lot of Chinese food options near Rockford and this place is quick and convenient. The quality is mid level , egg rolls and crab Rangoon over fried and not high quality. Fried rice is good and menu is large overall. As long as expectations aren't high this would work in a hurry read more

Recently found this place! I'm pretty particular about what I personally like as it relates to Chinese and must say, I was impressed. Food has yet to disappoint! Service, another huge win! They are so friendly and welcoming. They actually offered to make me a dish not in the menu, and it's now my staple order. Location is great, right outside of downtown Rockford in a shopping area. The only negative is the appearance and overall upkeep of the interior. It is getting run down. Understanding that Covid took a toll on what was once a buffet, so half the restaurant sits practically un-used. Don't let the appearance deter you, the food and service are worth it! You will not be disappointed. read more

We ordered on Valentine's Day evening with an hour wait for an order.NEVER do that. I bet the food can be great but it wasn't this evening. I was especially depressed because the hot and sour soup tasted like vinegar, sour no hot. The Lo mein was greasy . How does that happen? HOWEVER , the chicken curry was good and the spring rolls were tasty. read more

Call restaurant for prices! Do NOT rely on prices online, they are WAY off. Our bill was way more than we expected. They should have told us how much it would be when we ordered, but, they hung up so quickly. Food is tasty. read more

Delish! They are so friendly AND the food is great. I get the wonton egg drop soup and it never disappoints! My sister who is a vegetarian gets the spicy broccoli tofu and I always steal a few bites... amazing. read more

Service...well go there if you would like to be over charged. The owner will give you some bs like you looked at an old menu. B***h it was on YOUR website. The restaurant itself is dirty. Like someone call the health dept dirty. All in all stear clear. read more

We read the reviews around Chicago and decided to eat there on our way north. It was a great choice! They were very friendly. The service was great! The food was delicious and hot! The portion sizes filled the plate with stuffed eggrolls and crab rangoons that were fantastic! It wasn't a buffet today but ordering only too a short bit! read more

We do Chinese food every Christmas for dinner. It became one of my favorite traditions, and we were so bummed this year when the roads were full of ice and we couldn't go to our favorite Chinese spot! We found China 1 on Yelp, and decided to give it a try because it's a 4 minute drive from our home. We called and were told it would be an hour wait for take out, as they were super backed up with orders (which I thought was a great sign) and we were happy to wait. The restaurant looked like a typical Chinese buffet and wasn't anything spectacular. You could see the chefs preparing the food as you waited for your food, which I thought was neat. We got our food and were amazed at the flavors and textures. We will be returning next year for Christmas dinner! read more

Love love love this place! I always order food for pick up usually between 3-4 times a month. The people who work the counter always have an amazing attitude and the service is always quick and easy. It may seem pricey at first but you always get a good amount of food for what you pay! The combo meals usually last me between 1-3 meals alone!! Definitely my favorite Chinese restaurant in Rockford read more

Friendly employees and the food is good. The spring rolls were my favorite. slightly pricey, It was about 30 bucks for 5 egg rolls, pt of orange chicken & pt of Szechuan chicken. worth it though! read more

The food was good and the staff was very nice but you can't set there anymore and it was not clean at all and there was something in my drink read more

Very very good. They haven't had the buffet since Covid. The portions are enormous. Enough for 2 meals.

Our absolute favorite take out place! The food is excellent and the staff is extremely kind. The portions are very generous and the good for leftovers. read more

This place is amazing! I can't believe they're not packed but people have been coming in for orders they called in. Really good food and super friendly staff. Thanks guys; I'll definitely be back! :) Edit: I can't figure out how to respond to the compliment/question someone added so will respond here. This was my first visit so I don't have a favorite yet. There weren't a ton of options in the buffet when you compare to other places but the food quality rocked. However, I asked if they had rice noodles and they made some so, yes, plenty of options even though it may not appear so on first glance. I haven't seen the menu but you can order from that or do take-out too. read more

Love this place! I'm vegetarian and the garlic tofu and broccoli is amazing! I've only ever gotten takeout from this place, but each time it has consistently been very fresh, hot, and delicious! Will definitely keep coming back! read more

I absolutely love their food. It's done very well and the selection is great! They also are kind and willing to be flexible with your taste preferences. I waited a little longer than usual this time but understandably because it was so busy! Sooo good! read more

See all

Food was pretty good and a step above your typical Chinese fast food restaurant. We will be ordering from here in the future and a solid option locally. read more

The first time was good. We ordered our take out order and it was ready when they said it would be. Large portions and decent enough food. The second time we ordered, the order was placed at 5:20 and we were told it would be done in 20 minutes. When my parents hadn't returned 50 minutes after the order was placed, we called and they told us the food still wasn't ready and they weren't given any reason why. We gave up and got something different. read more

My girlfriend and I came here for lunch and the food was delicious and the lady at the counter was very nice!

Watch your credit card bill. They seem to charge extra without your knowing it. They tell your your meal is this much, you pay it, then lo and behold, when you look at your credit card statement it can be about twice as much as they told you when you paid. They do not seem to offer a receipt when you pay. Fishy. Use cash if you go there. Showing up at a prime meal time. Place empty. No customers. Not much food out. What was put out did not seem to be kept at temperature. They put a little more food on the buffet, but it was not even close to what would be considered a buffet, even for a small place. A lot of it was deep fried food. Staff was friendly enough. No issues. read more

We love them! the staff is the best and so helpful and kind. we have gone there for years and it is a family favorite. we have done the buffet and take out. we always leave with a smile :) read more

This was our first time at China One. We did take out this time and I think the food was pretty good. The staff was friendly and fast. I believe we will be back. We have tried the other Chinese restaurant In Rockford and we're very disappointed with the taste and presentation. Discovering china one gives us one more place in town to add to our acceptable list. read more

I have enjoyed this restaurant for many year but the last several times the food has been subpar which is why I chose to write this comment. In the past I have always gotten really good for but this last order was the worst I got rice that looked like it had been mixed with some other food and the hot and sour soup was very bland and tasteless. This makes me very sad as I will need a new place for Chinese food in Rockford. read more

Been a regular here for years, always loved it! Sometimes short on certain dishes, but that just means I get to wait a bit for the FRESH stuff. :) read more

We have been there several times for take out. The food is consistently good and there is always a lot of it. I have seen some bad reviews and don't understand. I sit and watch the food being prepared. The buffet is continually refreshed and is good stuff. The staff is friendly and if you are a replete customer they do "take care of you". read more

We got good Chinese food here for years and my last review was not good . I said something had changed well I want to give them another chance. Well the owner is now doing the cooking and the owner is cheap to begin with and a terrible cook. The food is awful tasteless, bland more like prison food. I will never go back. And the place is filthy just look around there pop machine. I was in the other day around dinner time not one person in there eating so others must know the place is going down fast. Now we need a good chinese take out place in Rockford. read more

Good food for the price. The buffet food can be a little old, so I prefer to order off the menu.

My brother works for fire pros and had done an inspection for them. He told me some pretty awful things that he witnessed. Their sink the wash dishes is right next to their toilet, and it was overall as my brother said "nasty as f**k". I use to enjoy their food but have not returned there since that news. read more

Absolutely delicious. Never disappointed. Always plenty on food and great service wether dining in or take out.

This restaurant will FRAUDULENTLY change the tip amount. I went in for the first time last night and today I noticed the total I LEFT was not what I got charged. My bank statement showed a different total from the ACTUAL AMOUNT I left for the waiter. This DISHONESTY is not something that should be tolerated EVER, I don't care if it differs even by a few cents. I called to tell them what I had down as a total did not match what they charged my card. The manager said that it's only a little difference (as if it's not a big deal), then tried to play it off as though the numbers were hard to read. I added it up correct and wrote the amount VERY CLEAR before leaving this place last night. There's no mistaking, this is FRAUD! It's not about the money it's the principal of the matter. The fact they they are willing to do this means I will never return and I will make sure others are aware of their CHEATING ways. I'm calling the better business bureau to inform them of how China One operates, as this is ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. read more
