Pros: We've been ordering from China 1since 2014. Why 5 stars? Because they are extremely fast with pickup orders, hot food, quantity for the price. Cons: This isn't a dine in type place although you could. The delivery fee is a bit ridiculous at $3.00 before tipping the driver as we are only 1.2 miles from their location. Now I don't really mind a small online charge but they do have it so there ya go. Delivery can be slow and it's stated on the website as last nights order was. 50 minutes to deliver, 10-15 to pickup. I'm sure they don't have a bunch of delivery drivers sitting around which means you may need to wait, got it. Last night I decided to just go do our usual and pickup. So with the pros vs cons why 5 stars, simple, they are consistent in food quality, taste, served hot every time. In the over 10 years we have been ordering food I can't think of a single time they messed up the order. Try that at McDonald's across the street. I'm giving the a 5 for what they do best, takeout Chinese at a good price served hot. read more

About 10-15 dollars more then other places been ordering for years and now they have a third party who doesn't know right from left to take your order . Sometimes you have to stay original and not so advanced. Needless to say they lost $70-80 order weekly read more

China 1 is always a solid pick for Chinese takeout! If you're looking for some good won ton soup or fried rice this is the place. They also make delicious sweet and sour chicken as well as orange chicken. If you ask me what my favorite item here is though my answer would be crab rangoons all the way. I'm sometimes not in the mood for meat so I will get the plain Lo Mein and fried rice. Definitely recommend for fast and consistently good Chinese takeout! read more

DONT ORDER ON FRIDAY NIGHT. Ordered at 5:30, checked the box for delivery at 6pm. Received our two General tso's at 7pm. After calling them twice and told it was on its way. It finally did. And yes it wasn't hot anymore. 1 star cause the food is good. But everything else is terrible. Order for pick up. Nothing else. read more

Didn't even make it far enough to try it. It's 2024 and places are still charging fees to order online. I will not give business to greedy companies like that. read more

The two stars are for the service. I've gotten take out from here for years and the quality of the food has gone downhill. The chicken in my latest meal was tough and .inedible; after eating about one quarter of it I threw it in the trash. If this was a one-time occurrence there could be forgiveness, but this has become the norm over the past year. I will be finding a new place for take-out. read more

This has been one of our go-to spots for fast and cheap Chinese food. They're very quick, and although they're by no means the best Chinese food I've had, I'm always happy with what we ordered. Their pork dumplings and cheese rangoons are delicious. We've had a couple night we're we've just done a couple orders of each of them, and are always happy with the decision! read more

China 1 is everything you want in a dumpy, Chinese takeout restaurant. The door is always open, the employees are yelling at each other, and the exhaustive menu contains your favorite Americanized Chinese staples for mere pennies. The pictures on the wall look as if they're from 1987. The floor is sticky, the ceiling tiles dirty and the weird West-wing wall mirror, cracked. However, the portion size for the price is completely worth it. Egg rolls, beef and broccoli, pork fried rice, curry chicken, tofu and vegetables, spare ribs, etc. I've eaten a giant chunk of the menu and I can't say I was ever let down. Granted, it's not the greatest Chinese meal of your life, but it gets the job done. Phone in orders are usually on time for pick up. The cell reception in this plaza warrants investigation, so I realistically have triple the check-ins than what Yelp says. Oh well. Live long and prosper! read more

I've never had any issues with their orders. I always do pick up and it's always ready and the food tastes great!

Your good, basic, fresh-from-a-strip-mall type of America-Chinese. Fast, convenient and tasty.

I love China1's House Special, which some else recommended too. I have to try other menu items that look very tasty to me. Take out Service is quick and there's a small but comfortable dining area if you want to eat in. read more

Growing up in the North I was exposed to "New York" Chinese food, so I have set my expectations high for take out Chinese food. China One doesn't come close to that, but it is one of the better options in the intercoastal area (better being relative). China One offers your typical dishes and also Thai dishes. None of them are terrible but none will blow you away. I've noticed that sometimes the same dish will taste differently from time to time...sometimes better sometimes worse. At the end of the day you can get a cheap meal that will fill you up and is usually decent. Don't be discouraged to try just don't expect greatness. read more

food was great, portions are great. was ready in like 10 mins. i really cant ask for more, will definitely be back as its right near my job.

Very disappointing. have not eaten from them in a while. Quality and potions have gone down hill. I don't know if they have new owners. Not the same quality and portions. read more

I like this place while it may have taken three people to figure out my address..lol the food came faster than I expected always hot always fresh. I think like someone said it's your typical Chinese spot but I live in the Kernan area and I've tried a lot of what you would think or typical Chinese spots that tastes horrible and this is not one of them so if you're looking for good solid Chinese in your neighborhood this is the spot read more

I've been here a few times but never remember to check in once I leave (cell reception.) It's great divey food, but if you want your order the same night, don't order delivery. My orders have been right the majority of the time, but I still keep coming back. The staff is friendly if you can hear them between other calls and yelling. Good stuff!! read more

It's not my favorite fast food Chinese place, but it's close to home and will suffice in a pinch. They are fast, so you can call in and by the time you drive there ( for me it's only 8 minutes) it's ready. I find some of their entrees more on the spicy side, but that's how I like it. Good portion sizes. read more

1 star for fresh vegetables. I don't want to sound pretentious, but I haven't been able to find "decent" Chinese food since coming down to Florida in 2008. It's painful, but even the worst Chinese food in Chicago is better than anything I've had in Jax. I don't get it. My wife, from Ohio, says the same. There's easily better hole in the walls up there. Just doesn't make any sense. I implore any and all Chinese food restaurants in Jax to figure this out. This is torturous.. read more

We normally don't order Chinese delivery, but sometimes you need a quick easy meal. Today we ordered a pair of dinner plates, and a side of crab wontons. After 20-30 minutes delivery guy showed up and delivered our food. We signed the check and he went on his way. While eating our meal we realized that we had an extra dish. Our phone rang but we missed the call due to eating. Shortly after the doorbell rang...it was the same delivery guy asking for the extra dish back. I asked if he was going to deliver to the customer and he said yes. I proceeded to tell him that was not acceptable, and that I wouldn't allow. He called the office and they asked for me to return the food. I'm 99% sure this food got taken to another residence. This is unacceptable, and I will never order from this place again. Disgusting. read more

Here's what I like about China 1.... - taste -consistency of taste -price -quantity for price Here's what I don't like about China 1.... -nothing The last time I ordered from China 1, which is right around the corner from my house, had been far too long, so when the other night rolled around and I had no idea what I wanted to eat, but knew I wanted something quick, tasty, and bountiful I knew China 1 was going to be it. I have a weak spot for 2 items on a Chinese food menu 1) General Tso's Chicken and 2) Moo Shoo Pork and this time moo shoo was all I could think about when it came to ordering. DELICIOUS! read more

Exactly what I would expect for a strip mall Chinese food joint. There are plenty of your favorite American-Chinese plates. I wanted to try it because I was extremely hungry and it was a Chinese food type of day. I'm glad I did, it's pretty much what I was looking for. Give it try, it's not bad. read more

China 1 - Chicken Lo Mein. - Chinese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Unless you like flys in your good don't think about coming here. They leave the door open 24/7, 365 days a year. I've eaten there only once and that will be the last time! I was waving to roaches, screaming my order because the kitchen is right next to the register and slapped flys left and right. I was afraid to eat my food. read more

This place has good food a good price and overall good. And if I had to recommend something it would be the lo main

Great & dependable Chinese food delivery. Prompt service, hot food, very tasty. We've been ordering from them for years.

Review Summary: Eat at China Garden instead. We used to go here and were never amazed with the food. It is ok at best but we have stopped going once we discovered China Garden that is very close on San Pablo. read more

This is a filthy grime hole. Check out the disgusting, smeared plexiglass wall. I understand the wall I guess but maybe wipe it if once every six months? Makes you wonder what else hasn't been cleaned. Even their fortune cookies are stale. Below average slop, and I have experienced what can be described as rude, disorganized, anti-customer service. I'd go miles out of my way to avoid. China Garden from now on. read more

Great American Chinese carryout for the buck! I saw a lot of mediocre reviews for this place so I am compelled to give it 5 stars based on my experience. It met all of my expectations and more. More because of the price. You get a lot of good quality food for your money. The Sesuan Chicken was juicy and flavorful. The special fried rice was loaded with shrimp, pork and other yummy ingredients. A quart of main dish and a pint of rice for $9 is a good value for fresh made Chinese. It's not fine dining or gormet quisin...it's Chinese takeout...and it's delicious. read more

This business should be out of business they refuse to give refunds on bad food and food that was not ordered . I hardly ever leave a review but this business does not stand behind their food and honestly the food is horrible save yourself time and money and try a Chinese restaurant that does stand behind product and it's customers. Chinese 1 should not be your choice for quality food and your money spent. never again will we!! read more

Tonight I felt like some Chinese food so I decided to go to a nearby place, China 1. I ordered orange chicken, egg rolls, chicken on a stick and wonton soup. I don't expect much from these kinds of restaurants but I do expect the food to be reasonably good and taste somewhat like what they are claiming to serve you. This was not the case. The orange chicken was so bad I couldn't finish it. The pieces were more breading than chicken, lacking flavor and not spicy at all. None of the signature chilies that are normally in this dish were present. The egg rolls were edible but I wouldn't be honest if I said they were any better than that. The chicken on a stick was extremely dry and not as flavorful as expected. The wonton soup was acceptable but it's kind of hard to mess that up. Overall I had to give this restaurant one star. Sorry...but I won't be going back. Cheers! read more

the place is a dump, but in a adorable kind of way.Staff members can often be seen seated and eating. Clearly, they trust the food. One cute staff member actually took off her shoes and propped up her feet while emjoying her meal.I wish they had local seafood entrees, Maybe some whole snapper, or some fried frog legs. Until then I'll stick with their egg rolls read more

I like their menu. Their spicy choices are at a perfect level of hot. Out of all the chineese places thar deliver within a mile of this place its the best. read more

Awful cold Chinese!!! - 2 dishes tasted like dirty burned wok They need to wash their cooking pans. Spring rolls only half cooked. Seriously awful food They have gone steady down and they don't care. read more

I've been in Jacksonville for a year from NY and was hunting for a really good Chinese take out. After three or four, nice try but next places, I think I may have found it. Stopped by on the way out to Jacksonville Beach and ordered a Chicken Egg Foo Young. It was very good. The portion size was good, the rice was good, even the egg roll was OK. All around great first visit. Another good sign - they busy with pick up and delivery orders at 7:30 on a Monday night. I will visit again. read more

It can be so hard to trust Chinese restaraunts to provide a certain quality of food, especially with all of the rumors. So when I find a good, high-quality Chinese spot, I'm loyal to it for as long as I live close by. China One is the restaraunt I have trusted since I moved from NY to Jacksonville. I usually get the basic orange chicken or general tso's chicken with chicken fried rice, or beef and broccoli with beef fried rice. Toss in some wonton soup and egg rolls (usually very fresh), and you'll never go to Panda Express again. My tip is to call ahead before picking up, for the reason that since they make your food fresh, it may take 15 minutes. If they have a Friday crowd ahead of you, you could wait up to 45 minutes. Worth it though for some good 'nese after drinking a couple! read more

I only come here for hot and sour soup and egg rolls. Sometimes I'll order won tons as well. I love their soup when I want something spicy.

Great Chinese place in the Atlantic / Neptune Beach area. China 1 is quick, dependable, affordable, and good Americanized Chinese food. For the area, there's nothing better. We always get the same thing - General Tso chicken with beef fried rice & regular fried rice & some cheese wontons. Yum! read more

The 1st delivery was prompt but we were missing 4 items from our order. I paid the delivery man shut the door and he was out of sight once I realized things were missing. When I was speaking with the lady about our order she told me I didn't order those missing items. They finally delivered what was missing and tried charging me for it. I explained how I gave the delivery man $55 which is the total for all items that I originally ordered. I had to get the calculator and show him, he made a few phone calls awkwardly laughed apologized and left. The employees arguing with us was completely unprofessional and very uncomfortable, we've ordered from here before but that was the last time. read more

I called to place an order, I first asked if they had any specials. after three minutes of trying to cross the language barrier I just said never mind id like to place an order, at which point they hung up on me. ill be going back to chans Chinese on beach, where I belong. read more

I'm always pleased with the food and the quick service. It's standard Chinese takeout so dont expect cuisine. A little pricey, that's why the 3 stars. read more

The food is above average for takeout/delivery Chinese food in Jacksonville. We've tried a number of local places and this is our go-to Chinese delivery/pickup restaurant. The food had never been too bland, greasy and the portions are fair for the price. Every delivery (dozens) has been correct, nothing missing. If you want you're dish spicy tell them to "make it spicy" to avoid it being too bland. Their soups (egg drop, egg drop and wonton and hot and sour) are very tasty. Be prepared to wait 45 minutes to an hour if you're having your food delivered. If you call in an order for pickup, it's normally ready in @ 15 minutes. read more
