China 1 aka China Thai New owners. First time coming here. Had the Hmong menu and Pepper steak. I give them A+ for effort. The pepper steak sauce was the sugar type. The Hmong food. See pic. The sausage was on point. The papaya salad (Laos style) was ok. Not bad. The pork belly was on point. The chicken was ok. Not bad but not extraordinary good. Chicken is the king in many Hmong menu. The chicken will be cooked in a special rub that brings out fantastic flavor. Some owners will take the recipe to their grave if the rub is exceptional tasty. History Was owned by Chinese owners for many years but because of ICE, the cooks were detained. After no cooks, the owner finally decided to sell this place. That's why the food did not taste good as before. *****I've lived in Saginaw for about 20 years of my life and we make some good Chinese food. I've had the best Chinese food. Bar none. I've been a dishwasher for a good Chinese restaurant, waiter, and a cook. I know my menu and how each dish should taste. I'm an Asian restaurant guy and a major Chinese food cook and critic. I was raised on Chinese food. I worked at many different Chinese restaurant. My uncles own about 10-20 Chinese restaurant in upper Michigan.***** Highly recommended read more

STAY AWAY from China 1 on Cass in Mount Clemens. My family has been going there faithfully since we purchased our house almost 9 years ago We always do Chinese for Christmas (over 30 years) Well, the owners of China 1 opened a new location in Oak Park and left untrained staff on one of their busiest days of the year. I spent 140.00, and it was NOT edible. We ate cake and pie for dinner. I called today just as an FYI to the owners. They were in Oak Park and would not call me ( too busy) I wasn't looking for money back. An apology would have been great. I even took homemade treats when I picked the food up. I knew it was a big order. All I got was excuses. A cook didn't show up, we had to go to Meijer to buy your tofu. We opened just for you (because it was ordered in advance) So now I want to send a message to the owners of China 1. Don't forget the people/town that supported you when you were small. Now that you have Oak Park, our business doesn't matter I will never patronize your business again read more

I love this food and I love it so much and I would like to eat more of this food because it's so delicious and so healthy. I love the taste of this food and I want more people to know how good it tastes . ‍ read more

I've had Chinese food hundreds of times and the only meal I had worse than this was at a mall food court in South Dakota where I was absolutely certain my "chicken" was not in fact chicken. And like my meal at China 1 I ended up throwing most of that away. The food here wasn't disgusting, gamy and slimy like that mall food court place which was lucky Yelp wasn't around back then, but it was very bland, dry and uninspired. In trying to eat my shrimp fried rice I felt the only thing I could taste was their contempt for making it. The shrimp fried rice was plain ass white rice, dry as the Sahara desert, with very little in the way of ingredients. Pathetic little brine shrimp not much larger than the dried out ones you'd find in a styrofoam ramen container at the gas station and not even many of those. A few chives and onions. No carrots or any other vegetables to be found. The vast majority of my quart was white rice, dry and just warm enough to suggest maybe it had been cooked some. I quickly went through the two packets of soy sauce China 1 provided and went to the fridge for a whole bottle as backup. After liberally applying it I came to the conclusion this brine shrimp sorta fried white rice was still inedible but I hate wasting food so I put it in the fridge thinking maybe I'd feel guilty or desperate enough to eat it later. Not a chance. I ended up throwing 90% of this meal in the trash the day before garbage day so it could satisfy its intended audience- maggots at the landfill. I also had egg drop soup and whoever said it seemed like it was just gelatin really nailed it. I did manage to choke that back but something was really off about it. Service was of the short and robotic nature. That vibe of I guess we'll tolerate you for a minute if we get to take your money. And the small storefront in a small strip mall looks pretty rundown. Sometimes those rundown little places actually turn out to be super legit. China 1 was just the opposite. Shame on them for besmirching the China 1 name as the China One on Woodward in Detroit is really good and the one over in Hazel Park is pretty decent, too. Needless to say I won't ever return to this joke of a Chinese place again. I know nothing of Chinese food besides eating it and I'm not much of a cook but this cracker is confident he could make better Chinese food after watching a couple YouTube videos. Better yet, I can go to any one of a number of good to great Chinese restaurants in the area. read more

Food was delicious as usual and the staff is very nice! Good food and good service--you can't beat China 1 in Mt. Clemens!!

Years ago we loved this place... Today we spend $50 in various foods and threw away all but the crab Rangoon (no crab) & white rice. You shouldn't smell rancid old oil when you walk into an establishment. Sweet and sour chicken very over cooked and no pineapple chunks... Shrimp fried rice was awful. Asked for pan fried noodles and got something we have no idea it was... I love to support small family businesses but this place needs to say goodbye. Two thumbs down read more

The steamed dumplings and sauce are wonderful sweet and a lil spicy the flavors are so yummy and go together well I would like to try the fried dumplings but these steamed ones are so good and cozy love the vibe read more

Local, fast, and good quality Chinese takeout. They are always so happy to accommodate my picky daughter as well. She likes the Kung Pao chicken, but with everything separated. Sauce and veggies on the side. They always get it right and are super friendly in the process. My other daughter loves the Sweet and Sour chicken which has been consistently great every time. My only complaint is that they charge you for fortune cookies. This may seem like a small thing, but I'm not used to that. Maybe it's a new policy in the times of COVID to make a little extra margin, but I'm not a fan. All in all, I would highly recommend if you need a local place and are located in the Clinton Township/Mt. Clemens area. Their online ordering is extremely easy to use as well which is a big plus these days. read more

We are new to the area and we're hoping to find a new go-to Chinese place. And we will continue looking. I ordered sesame chicken, and took one bite and thought it was fish. I made my fiancé try it and he nearly threw up, agreeing it tasted like fish. He ordered almond boneless chicken that he just kept saying tasted like rubber. He ate two pieces and couldn't do it anymore. Never in my life have I ordered take out to just throw the whole thing away. The egg rolls were tolerable, but mediocre at best. My fiancé was hopeful to skip dinner and go for the classic fortune cookie dessert. Took one bite and spit it out stating that it was super stale. Do not recommend at all. read more

The almond chicken was good and plentiful. The pork fried rice is good. Egg rolls has a lot to be desired. And won ton soup not great bland broth. read more

Chicken tastes like fish. As someone who does not like fish it was absolutely terrible. The rice was good but I feel like I wasted my money.

My girlfriend & I got food earlier for dinner, two chicken specials & her Lo mein had onions in it even after we asked for no onion but luckily her looking through the noodles, she found... this. What looks to be a metal shaving. Terrible, just glad she didn't eat it. read more

Closest Chinese restaurant to my house, so yes I am a fan and love the family who owns it. The restaurant is set up mostly for take out. My family and I have been going here for the last 5-6 years and I don't think I ever saw someone dine in. Very small restaurant on Cass stuck between Hip Hop pizza (which I'm a fan of the pizza, not the name) and I think a Mexican grocery store. The plaza is a bit sketchy but trust China 1. The food is good, the customer service is great and once the owners get to know you.. they are very personable. I'm a huge fan of their egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, spring rolls, hot and sour soup and general Tao. Great portion size and the prices are reasonable. Takeout usually takes about 15 minutes and the food is always warm and fresh. Very convenient, the food is good and the customer service is on point. If you live around here and want good Chinese.. come to China 1 read more

China 1 - Takeout! Vegetable lo mein, shrimp in lobster sauce, sweet and sour chicken and fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Mount Clemens, Michigan

First visit - Terrible. Beef was tough as rubber.... never had beef like that before. Only reason I tasted the beef was because I ordered a shrimp dish and got beef instead -smh Sauce was super sweet. WTF is up with everyone making their sauce sweet like f12king caramel???? Yuck Broccoli was great - Wonton soup was tasteless. The sesame chicken had hardly any sesame seeds on it and the chunks of chicken was all batter with very little meat. I'm kinda pissed I spent $30 for basically some plastic to go containers, broccoli and white rice. The food went in to the garage... do better man.... damn. The fried rice wasn't right. Something is up. It was way too consistent in both dishes with its color for each grain of rice. Looked too perfect. I was not impressed y'all out there praising this place, stop it. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! Zero stars for this guy! Ha! I work nearby and was hoping to find a local Chinese restaurant that's good and close to my work. I like to support local businesses if I can. So I've ordered lunch from this place 4-5 times already, and the 5th time was for lunch today. But before I get to that, the 4th was even worse, I ordered Chicken Lo Mein which was the grossest one I've ever have had. The chicken tasted like fish and was rubbery as someone's grandpas balls. I took one bite and threw it right in the trash. I was astonished how horrible it was. It belonged in the trash and so does everything on menu. They should throw out all the food they have in little dirty old store they have in the garbage and clean up a bit and buy FRESH FOOD. It'd go a long way and customers would notice. Now going back today, I placed my order, and got there pretty quick. Idk how she made it so quickly under 10 minutes. I ordered sweet and sour chicken. It was VERY HOT, which you'd think be a good thing. Which it was at the moment, BUT it was basically just ALL breading. It had a really odd taste to it too. Plus the rice they have is PISS YELLOW and is gross as hell. Nastiest rice I've ever had. Rice is usually the easiest thing to make and best thing Chinese restaurants are good at and this place sucks at it! I hope they go out of business and a legitimate Chinese restaurant opens up near by and puts them under! I hate to be that way but they're horrible. I got food poisoning from those idiots today. I don't mind supporting local businesses and especially tiny mom and pop places like this one, but not when your standards you hold up for yourselves suck. You CANNOT SELL food like this to anyone. It SUCKS. Idk what they're doing but they're definitely cross contaminating. I watch her briefly and she handled the cash resister and handled my card and touched cash. It doesn't matter what she touched, but she went straight to the kitchen afterwards and never washed her damn hands. Like how gross!!! No wonder why I'm sick right now. They're a nice little family that owns the place. I hope things turn around for them, but they really need to start caring about the product they're dishing out. Like literally. They're product sucks ass. I'm being serious, CLEAN UP YOUR RESTAURANT. Bleach, and HOT WATER AND soap goes a long way! SAME AS WASHING YOUR HANDS YOU FILTHY ANIMAL. SMH absolutely disgusting. DO NOT GO HERE! P.S And it won't let me leave zero stars like this place honestly DESERVES. And SMB while you're at it. read more

Good food, for good prices... Timely service with easy and efficient online ordering... Not much more to ask of a place when ordering lunch read more

These people are rude and inconsiderate. I was interested in ordering from them but their web site has no description or pictures of their food. So I called to ask them what was in their Seafood Special Soup? The answer was "shrimp". OK, that was pretty useless. What is Yat Gat Mein? The answer was "I am busy" and he hangs up on me. I was never impolite. If they put descriptions of their food on the web site I wouldn't have to ask them. These people are rude and inconsiderate and I would recommend that you all stay away from them unless you like to be abused. read more

Our favorite Chinese take out. Fast service. Best Buddhist Delite. Fresh food. Fiancé enjoys the Pu Pu Platter. COVID-19 compliant and worth the wait if you don't call in your order before arriving. Hidden gem in Mount Clemens:) read more

The pepper steak has a weird fishy taste, the meat is really chewy and questionable. The Szechuan chicken is bright orange. The egg rolls are cabbage and they come with duck sauce. I'm used to and prefer a bean sprout egg roll with plum sauce. I don't recommend read more

As a lover of Kung Pao chicken, I have to say this is the best place I've found in the area. The water chestnuts are crisp. The chicken is tender. And the heat.... My oh my, it hits the spot. Portion sizes are very generous Egg rolls are awesome! It's carry out oriented( which I guess is fine, but sometimes I just would like to dine in) read more

Good stuff! Sweet & sour chicken was good. Friendly when I was there. Sesame chicken was great!!

Great service! Love the fried rice...very fresh! Sweet and sour is very good! Did not care from the almond chicken...sauce was not good...KFC gravy like read more

Great Chinese food for take out. It's our go to with reasonable prices and friendly staff The portions are really good too. I've had the fried rice eggrolls sweet-and-sour pork and chicken boneless spareribs wonton soup and fried dumplings all very delicious read more

Good chinese food, but they let a 9 year old kid handle the phone and ringing up orders. He is incapable of taking an order correctly. If they just let an adult do the work, they'd get 4 stars. read more

I ordered fried rice, it was a quick stop.? The rice was not the usual rice I find at take out places. It was yellow and reminded me of Spanish rice. read more

People here are friendly funny and food is always fresh and fast. I love the General Tsoa! !

The family running this place is incredibly friendly. Great service with a smile. The food is absolutely delicious! I got the boneless almond chicken, egg drop soup, and an egg roll. It is worth the trip back JUST FOR THE EGG ROLL! (However I will be trying the whole menu I'm sure, it is top quality Chinese takeout) if you're reading this review because you can't decide where to eat tonight- look no further, this is the place! read more

WORST CHINESE EVER! Barely any chicken, all breading, that the chicken just slid right out of. The brown gravy for almond chicken almost made me throw up. I legit threw away my entire meal. Terrible. read more

Good Chinese food...I have been going for years...food is always good and fresh. Never had a problem or issue. It's family owned and they take pride in their food. Not fancy by any means but the food speaks for itself. read more

Crab ragoons are awesome. Sweet and sour chicken is good. We were a little late for our pick up and they reheated our food for us. They're very nice. read more

their shrimp and veggies combo is tasty and fresh! so much yum! ill be recommending and coming back here.

Delicious food!! Best Chinese i have had in a long time! We ordered the General, Lo Mein, Fried Rice & Eggrolls. Everything was fresh and delicious! They don't participate in the free Yelp Offer on here and that is only reason not giving 5 read more

Love this place...I've been coming here for year. Great value. Singapore noodles are amazing!

When I ordered food for myself and a couple of friends i was having for lunch, I was a little disappointed when they told me how much it would cost. When we started eating, it was just o.k. Now, a few hours later, I don't think we will be returning which is a shame because it's so close to my house. It left me with a sour stomach and a bad taste in my mouth. read more

China 1 is a very popular restaurant, mostly for carry out. The food is very good and owners are very friendly. The hunan dishes are very very good. I usually get that with chicken, however it can be ordered with shrimp or beef (or you can combine 2 of them). They give you a good amount of food at a reasonable price. The main thing though of course is the good taste and that is why I keep coming back. read more

I live kind of far away but it's always been worth the trip for the Chicken with Garlic Sauce. I ordered over the phone - when he repeated the order to me he said chicken with broccoli. I very quickly caught him before he hung up and corrected it. I thought it was strange because in the past they've always been on the ball with getting things right. Well, upon arriving I learned they have new owners. While it wasn't as good as it was with before, it's still better than I've found elsewhere so I'll continue to make the occasional trip over there for the chicken and garlic sauce. read more

Was o.k few years ago...Now the food is so tasteless and very expensive.....I wouldn't recommend it now to any body...

This place doesn't even deserve 1 star. Ordered Almond Boneless Chicken... Had absolutely no taste other than grease. The Brown gravy was disgusting. I can't believe this place is still in business. If you are over on Cass and Groesbeck do not stop at this chinese place. Just keep on driving to anywhere but here! read more

Worst Chinese I've ever had. The fried rice was dry and tasteless, the lo mein was also tasteless, chewy, and super watery. I will never be back. read more
