This is my go to spot when I want some quick and tasty Chinese food. The service is always very fast. You can order online and it usually takes less than 20 minutes for your prefer to be complete. It is a small and cozy restaurant, so more of a dine out spot for dinner. All of the food has a lot of great flavor. There's a good mix of veggie options and seafood for non-meat eaters. I always enjoy the Singapore doodles and Szechuan shrimp. I wish there was more flavor in the fried rice but overall a lot of their dishes have great seasoning and spice. read more

Where's the beef? Ordered Mongolian beef. It's more like Mongolian onion. No flavor just onions and red pepper. Beef fried rice didn't have much flavor either read more

Chinese food is my favorite type of food. I enjoy going to our local neighborhood restaurant China 1. One of my favorite dishes is their sesame shrimp. It comes with broccoli and a side of rice. I like the convenience of ordering online and going to pick it up. It's ready pretty fast. The staff is friendly. There's plenty of parking in the strip mall. You can also dine in. They have quite a long menu of items to choose from. Everyone should be able to find something they like. read more

Maybe they have a new chef? I've been coming here for over a decade and what I got today taste nothing like the general tsos I usually get. I got spicy and it just taste like butter with veggies that it doesn't usually have.My friend said theirs was completely missing sauce. Maybe check your order before you leave? Hope it was a one time error read more

I ordered Mongolian Beef. I was charged an extra $1.00 to substitute the rice that comes with it with mixed vegetables. For some reason, it only comes with onions as the vegetable, so was charged the dollar for the mixed vegetables. I'm never going back there again. read more

The food was delicious. I had the whole order of special fried rice for carry out. The service was outstanding; they were very friendly. The ambiance is traditional. It was very clean and delightful. read more

I had a taste for a St. Paul Sandwich and China #1 complied with an acceptable one. (Why is there never a China #2 or. #3?) Acceptable but not outstanding. The large patty was overly greasy and seemed to skimp on pork. read more

Their food is ALWAYS DELICIOUS.....I continually LOVE it. Well worth the drive from Creve Coeur . Put this on the top of your list....try it soon. read more

I have to say this either has new owners or new recipes. The menu seems the same but the food really wasn't as good as I have had there before. We had chicken fried rice, chicken and broccoli, egg rolls, crab rangoon, potstickers, shrimp stir fried and general Tso chicken. The fried rice was mostly a yellow rice with hardly any ingredients. The chicken and broccoli had very scrappy pieces of chicken. The kids didn't really enjoy the food either. It's disappointing because we used to get it often and it was good. Our order with tax was around $80 and when I picked it up the man who gave me the food stated that our meals didn't come with fortune cookies when I asked but he would give us a couple. Umm what does come with fortune cookies then? Over $100? read more

Food has always been consistently delicious. We've been customers there for over 30 years.

We usually order from here at least once a week. The food is always good. It usually only takes 10 minutes to get the food after we call for takeout. We don't eat thete because we just like takeout. read more

I wish zero stars was an option. I ordered about an I ordered about an hour before the end of the night on Monday night. I have been coming there since I' I've been 15 years old that was a couple decades ago. I one bite of everything of my $40 meal and it was awful. The beef andbroccoli smelled like dirty shoes it was way lo mein noodles sat in water all day and the weirdest texture I've ever fried rice was light yellow at best flavoring at I brought it back on Tuesday to find out on Tuesdays who does that? So by Wednesday, I it was too late anything at that point, but I completely spent over $40 and nothing. read more

now china one got new owner taste will change alot not before reg onwer taste they make great food for us now change read more

Solid average Chinese food. Portions are decent size. Crab Rangoon was nicely filled, as were the Pot Stickers. Pork fried rice is disappointing - rice itself was bland, and there was very little pork. The chicken was pretty tasty, both in the General Tso's and the Kung Pao. We asked for extra spicy but it tasted like regular spice to us. Overall, not bad, but nothing outstanding either. read more

They unpleasant and answer phone as you giving order and they get your order wrong had to drive way back to get what I ordered so check your food or eat somewhere else read more

Metal Shaving found in food! My parents have been eating takeout from here for awhile, and I was looking forward to trying it. The food tasted good, but I found metal shavings in a mouthful of food (see photo). It's not aluminum foil, as it's attracted to a magnet, and much more rigid than foil. read more

The price was 3/5. The food was delicious! The serving sizes were very generous. We had the food delivered, but I happened to be close and just looked in since they have dine-in. I liked the atmosphere even though it was small. read more

Food was extremely greasy. I got take out, and the grease was leaking through the container lid. I had to pour it out before getting in the car. The portion size/price was ok, but as I said very greasy. They have a small dine in area, but the restaurant was very dirty also. The Crab Rangoon is good here. read more

actually not bad !! went for lunch and food was very good, well flavored and tasted fresh.

There are not many options in the area for fast food Chinese. The rice was bland, and my chicken was re-fried and I couldn't identify which part of the chicken it was supposed to be. I also asked for a fruit punch drink and after charging me then told me they don't carry fruit punch but orange soda was the same. Definitely not going back read more

Always quick and consistent, I almost always know what to expect. I ordered sesame chicken at my last visit and there was a bit too much sauce and it was thicker than normal but other than that I can order lunch or dinner and it is always good read more

They used to have the best crab rangoon. They were always overstuffed, and the filling would pop out the top and get a little brown while cooking. The cashew chicken was over cooked, and loaded with raw celery. The general chicken was literally a deep fried dough ball with no chicken in it. Horrible containers too. But at least it cost a lot:( read more

I'm a fan of this little place, even though there are a couple of oddities. The other day I walked in and about 6 people were standing around waiting for there food. The guy at the counter was trying to talk to a picky cusomter and the only other employee was back in the kitchen looking at his phone and NOT COOKING. After a few minutes I had a hard time believing I'd be able to convey my order and left. I've been here 6 or 7 previous times with no issue. Also, the portions here are large, the quality fine. I like the egg fu yung lunch special. It's all you can eat and with a sods under $10, so a good deal. As I said in my first review, the Singapore noodles were really good the times I had them. It was also a meal I couldn't finish. I think they were $8.99. If you walk in and the lady's not working the counter, you might want to come back another time. read more

I live right close by and it took me a while to try this place out because I hadn't been entirely certain that it was actually in operation. It is small and easy to miss. Since giving it a try "China 1" has been my go to take out Chinese place. I have had both the General Tso's and the Cashew Chicken and they have been magnificent. They actually have a bit of a different take on both of these dishes and while it wasn't exactly what I was expecting it was extremely delicious. I am a fan of their egg rolls. My criteria is that they have to be tasty and not disgustingly greasy. They pass my criteria. The Crab Rangoons are pretty standard. I would say the main draw is that they do not skimp on the filling. Be prepared for swollen Rangoons. The service is what I have come to expect out of strip mall Chinese diners. The same three people are always in there running the show. It appears to be a small family. Be warned I think the only one that speaks English is the daughter. I had an awkward attempt at a conversation with the older gentleman my first time in there. Luckily she came in from the back and saved us. I look forward to future visits so that I can try some of their other offerings. read more

I would suggest that before you order your food you look down at the floor in the dining area and look up at the fans that are circulating over your food. I wonder why the health department hasn't cited them for the fillth. - or closed them down long enough so they can do a thorough cleaning. I only gave them one star because that's the absolute minimum I can rate. Since we really enjoy Asian food, we'll take our appetites to other restaurants. read more

This is my husband's and my favorite Chinese spot. Every time we have eaten here, the food has been amazing. Best crab rangoon we've found in the StL area. General Tso's is equally impressive and delicious. Egg drop soup is my favorite I've ever had. I just ordered delivery for the first time and I'm so thrilled with all they included without my mention. A huge selection of sauces included along with the exact items I ordered. Could not be happier to have this restaurant so close by. read more

Food is not worth the wait,cheap price or bad attitude from their cashier. The food was VERY greasy (which is odd for steamed items) and tasted old.Their menu limited than other restaurants that serve the same food. There are plenty of great fast food Chinese restaurants further away and worth the drive. read more

Nasty asf and it's not St. Louis style rice. Don't waist your time and money. If you think this is good your lost, I'm sorry

Lunch special for $5.90 sesame chicken, fried rice and 2 crab Rangoon. Tried it twice and never went wrong.

We enjoy the MaiFun - so good! Also the lady at the counter is so friendly. Always a plus when people have a good attitude

I eat here almost weekly, and i have been going here now for over a decade. This is the tastiest yet consistently clean chinese food in saint louis county alone. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in maryland heights or close to the surrounding areas. read more

My husband and I have eaten here numerous times through the past few years and haven't had any issues. A couple of weeks ago he ordered some lo mein for lunch and went back to work. Ate most of his box of lo mein and found a dead cockroach at the bottom of the box. I would post the pic, but it's so disgusting. We've been too traumatized to even go back. read more

Great Chinese food in comparison to the standard non wait service places. I've been here almost 10 times over the course of the year, and had other Chinese places around St. Louis. Solid crab rangoon, good lo mein, and sesame chicken that will meet your expectations every time. read more

My go to place for Chinese in this area. They're fast, reasonable, polite, and the food is very tasty. Lots of Chinese places serve greasy, usually tasteless food, and the secret of knowing a good Chinese restaurant is the flavor of its fried rice, but this place actually has food that is above average in its flavor. My favorite is the Lo mein and the mei fun, which is a dish of fried thin rice vermicelli fried. I'll keep coming back, that's for sure. Update: I simply keep returning. read more

I tried this place on the recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed in the least bit. I have tried the General Tso's chicken and the Honey chicken both of which were extremely good. I love their crab rangoon here. Yes I know that is a weird thing to like the best of a Chinese food establishment however the stuff they have here is extremely good. The people here are very nice and the prices while not as cheap as some of the other places are still very reasonable. Give this place a try you will not be sorry. read more

My husband and I really like this restaurant. We order takeout about twice a month for convenience. Staff is always friendly and quick. Quality has been consistent. My husband is picky about his veggies and they'll do special orders for him. We enjoy and recommend their Singapore Mai Fun, Szechuan Shrimp, Crab Ragoon, and Steamed Dumplings. My husband likes to special order chicken with snow-peas, mushrooms, and broccoli. Did not like the General Tso Chicken. It does have seating available to dine in, however it's so small and lacking in ambience I'm not sure why you'd want to. Personally, it's ten minutes from my house and most orders only take ten minutes so it's easier for us to pick up and take home. Check it out if you live or work in the area. read more

Order from here today and was very happy with the Pork Egg Roll and Crab Rangoon. My chicken fried rice was VERY greasy. Making it leave a film on the lips and interior of the mouth. Not pleasant. read more

Their food is delicious and fast. The price is good for what you get. Great little take out joint.

I have been doing deliveries for them for almost a year through door dash. I have been very unhappy so I stopped doing that. Now as a customer twice this month i have decided to use door dash to have china 1 delivered to my house. I have even picked up an order in the past 6 months from them with items missing. They always argue with me and I just overall am so aggrivated with china 1! I am not even rude or anything I just try to explain my situation. Tonight i just asked if i was still charged for the lo mein (I was) that i did not receive and all i got was "we don't delivery" okay well i still didnt get all of my order yet again. its decent food but the people that work there are not great. read more
