I was apprehensive about this place initially because of some of the reviews that I've seen but I was desperate from crab Rangoon so I gave it a shot and honestly wasn't mad! It was actually pretty good I also got a combo of boneless spare ribs with fried rice and an egg roll. The rice was actually very flavorful and the pork was good too. The egg roll was cooked well and not greasy just not my favorite. Prices are very reasonable. The only thing that my fat behind didn't love is that the portions were a little small (the container is small but you can't really tell this by the photo) so no leftovers for me! I'd definitely order here again! read more

Best takeout Chinese in st Pete! I always get the honey chicken and and egg roll. Always quick and they never get my order wrong! read more

I was craving Chinese takeout after landing at TPA and this place was open and on the way home, so we picked up a few items. Our order included dumplings (the frozen ones I get at MD Oriental may be better), hot and sour soup (a bit strange with celery in it), black bean chicken, kung pao shrimp and vegetable fried rice (not sure why the rice is yellow). This is definitely American Chinese Food, similar to Panda Express. The food satisfied the craving, and it was quick which was good when you're hungry and trying to get home after an afternoon of travel. It's nothing special, and probably won't be my new go to Chinese place (I'm still looking for that), but it met the hunger needs at the time. read more

i love this place. best chinese food i've found since leaving NY to be honest. wonton soup goes crazy, they've never gotten my order wrong. you get what you'd expect, its chinese take out. but its yummy. and the people are kind :) read more

This has been our go to Chinese place for years, and every time we stray away we always come back. We always get the beef and broccoli, chicken fried rice, and wonton soup. Will definitely continue to order from here! read more

The food was really really really bad - I mean yuk! 3/4 of my prefer what I to the trash can - the service was very good for take I mean all they had to do was slide some food across the counter but the food OMG it left an indelible mark on my brain - read more

Ordered online pickup, got the lunch special mongolian beef (comes with egg roll & fried rice) and wonton egg drop soup mix; Go inside to pickup food lady at counter had zero people skills, no hi, how you doing, welcome, have a nice day, pissed off look...etc like Smile ;-D make a difference in someone's life; the mongolian beef was just ok, fried rice (growing up in the east coast, trying to find a fried rice in this area comparable to new york is impossible) was just yellow rice with pork (nothing special) the egg roll was probably the star (pretty good I must say) because i've been too numerous chinese take out and you could tell that the restaurants bought pre made frozen egg rolls, but these 'seemed' homemade ;-) the soup was pretty good (still on my journey to find a good fried rice) read more

I had an Amtrak bus to catch and was hungry/needed to wait out some time. This place isn't much to look at & I don't recommend their bathroom, but the food was good and plentiful. I had the home style tofu. It came with rice & was cooked with broccoli, baby corn, mushrooms & bamboo(?) strips. I'm picky about my tofu & it was perfect. The lady at the counter was very nice, a little taken aback by my luggage (?), but could have been a language barrier issue. read more

Pretty damn good for a takeout Chinese place. Egg roll was the highlight for sure. Other reviews threw me off but I gave it a try anyways. Glad I did. Got the general tso chicken. read more

China 1 - Small General Tso chicken - Chinese Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

Americanized-CHINESE fast food yes, but maybe the BEST in Pinellas county here? Expect yellow fried rice, but many of us grew up on this sort of "Asian" takeout, right? Their honey chicken is excellent, as well as the soups, egg rolls, and rangoon. The real plus here? The service... Maybe just 10 years old or so? The young boy working the register and taking walk-in orders... A family run joint, that kid works SO hard, and by his choice, we played many rock/paper/scissors games, while I waited for my food. So dedicated to the family business, that little kid's happy attitude alone made my Friday night! THANK YOU !! read more

I was enjoying my food when at the end I saw this aluminum piece at the end and I had to throw everything out made me super upset because what kind of other thing might've been inside without me noticing it ? And I waited 30 min for a 15 time wait read more

China 1 - I was enjoying my food until I saw a aluminum piece in my food - Chinese Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

The staff is so nice and helpful, food is delicious and affordable! I would be curious it to everyone. It's good , quick, unexpesive food.​

**Anyone with food allergies - you want to come here. They only cook their food in vegetable oil, not peanut oil.** Overall good American/Chinese food - we had egg rolls, chicken me fun and shrimp lo mein. Sorry for no pictures, we ate it too quickly - whoops! It was a little pricey, but then again we don't get Chinese often so maybe that's typical pricing. Staff was friendly and our food was made quickly. This place will definitely be our new Chinese food spot! read more

This restaurant is a good takeout spot. Very good fried rice, low mein, and sesame chicken. They are fast and the food is always fresh. The portions are a bit small for the price, but everything is delicious. read more

Nice little carry-out for Chinese food with average, or maybe slightly above average food. I would definitely try it again.

Cheap and chintzy. Waited nearly 15 mins for takeout in the middle of the afternoon when it was empty save for 1 person who had already ordered. Ordered the shrimp and vegi combo. Got 3 shrimp, some celery, some mushrooms and a ton of bland pork fried rice. Total rip-off. Wish I had read the reviews before I ordered. Consider yourself warned. read more

Best chinese food i have ever had. Ive been to new york miami and La and tried every chinese place you can imagine. I would eat here everyday over any other chinese spot. Amazing food amazing staff and even better it is 5 mins away from my house!!! Love this place read more

So it was our first time trying this place as we wanted Chinese takeout tonight and read some good reviews at first but guess we should've kept on reading :/ food arrived pretty stale and cold, even after arriving only 10 mins after placing the order. Really cheap so I guess we had our suspicions but this food just wasn't good. The sweet and sour was the only redeeming meal. Other than that the general tsos was just gross. Tasted nothing like chicken, purple blackish chicken and way too dry, just not what general tsos is actually like. And the dumplings were lumpy and not properly steamed (I've pan fried and steamed in my own home) overall terrible experience and won't be coming back. read more

Great food and friendly service! The sesame chicken is amazing and love the egg drop soup

There are so many Chinese-American takeout restaurants near my house. But, this location is the best from my experience. The building is brand new, and the interior is still nice and clean. Maybe I am just really hungry whenever I visit China 1, but the food is really fresh and not too greasy. Crab Rangoons are not sweet, thank goodness. When I am craving steamed rice and too lazy to make it, I will order it take-out, because China 1's steamed rice has the texture and flavor that I am craving, close, cheap, and fast. If I find any unique items here, will update the review. read more

This is one of my favorite Chinese takeout restaurants - and I'm 1/2 Chinese! LOL The food is made to order. The Moo-Shu Pork typically has egg in it. Whenever I order, I always request no egg. Since the food is fresh (again made to order) I get to have one of my favorite meals, just the way I like it! I always get the chicken wings - YUM! OMG its so good. My kids love the beef broccoli. Absolutely delicious. Most places the beef is soooo fatty. To the point, its disgusting and you cant even eat it. Not here. Plus, you get get enough juice / sauce with it that it mixes so well with the rice. I usually get: Vegetable Lo Mein General Tso's Chicken Moo Shu Pork Egg Rolls Chicken Wings Wow, Im drooling writing this review. Dont forget to add an egg roll or two. So fresh, crispy, and NOT greasy at all. Honestly, I cant even think of another Chinese place I would rather go to to get Chinese take out. Even when I get home, the food is so steaming hot, that I need to let it cool down before I can eat it! Finally, when Im done with my order they say "10 minutes" (yes, sterotypical blah blah blah) and I think "why cant I make food this good and fresh in 10 minutes?!" LOL You will not be disappointed for trying this place. You will thank me later! ;) read more

China 1 - Thank you YELP reviewer who recommended the teriyaki chicken on a stick. Holy smokes is good - Chinese Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

I witnessed the owner wearing the same pair of gloves to handle money, answer the phone and prepare the food. I called her out in it and she took them off. I also observed the staff (male) return from outside and handle peoples orders without gloves. Disgusting especially during these times. read more

Was excited to see this place close to my office after having an amazing meal at their Brandon location. Maybe it was because it was a busy lunch hour, but I wasn't blown away. Cheap and good though. Crab rangoon is awesome. The sweet/sour chicken I had in Brandon was much better than this location's. I'll give it another go though... for $5 you can't beat that. read more

I used to go here for the Crab Rangoon, would literally only order Crab Rangoon. It was made fresh in house. Every Crab Rangoon was different and filled to the brim with a delicious sweet crab and cheese filling. They were also fried to perfection. On my visit last night which was the first time in several years I ordered Crab Rangoon and it came out as small perfectly shaped triangles. Clearly purchased through distribution and previously frozen. I asked the lady who took my order what changed and she explained that her family took over the restaurant several years ago and they changed some of the food items. Not the old China 1 it used to be sadly. read more

Well well well. Being able to notice the subtle nuances in take out Chinese takes years of being hung over and perfecting recovery of such. China One is consistent. Day in day out, month after month and year after year you know exactly what you are getting. Within a 5 mile radius you have 3-4 options to choose from and thank me later for picking for you. Menu is typical take out menu (I think if any restaurant deviates from the standard format The Gods would frown upon that) so I look at the quality control when it comes to Chinese. China1 always maintains great standards with fresh vegetables and proteins. They have great balance in their combo platters always assuring a proper protein to vegetable balance. Fried items indicate they don't over use their oil and consistently change it. This is a big deal as some places will not replace regularly which leads to bitter tasting foods. If you are lucky you can find the family children running the register. When I was 12 I could barely make it school on time much less run a register. The owner is always polite and if they tell you 10 minutes it will be ready in 10 minutes. Enjoy. read more

China 1 - Bourbon Chicken Combo - Chinese Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

China 1 is getting three stars from this gal due to the food being just fine for a quick something to eat on a busy night after work. I absolutely love their teriyaki beef skewers appetizer. The meat is flavorful, tender, juicy and awesome. I truthfully could eat those and an egg roll and call it a meal. However on this trip I also ordered a "C25" better known as Bourbon Chicken with fried rice and an egg roll combo. I really liked the texture of the chicken and had high hopes for the flavor but sadly flavor wise the dish fell short. It needed some Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce from my fridge to make it better. I'll keep placing orders for the teriyaki beef. Tasty! read more

Chinese food is always a treat especially during Covid times. We have decided to minimize out exposure and rarely go out or order takeout. So our order was sesame chicken, boneless spare ribs, crab rangoon, egg foo young, chicken on a stick, beef on a stick and steam wontons. This food would normally last us into Monday. The only thing that was fresh and was normal was the egg foo young. The remaining items we got were less then fair in taste. Now I know that Chinese food isn't health and prepared in large qualities. I've had Chinese food from all over the states, this was by far the worst. I'm not one to complain on these websites/apps. I know times are tough for everyone, including restaurant. I will never go here again as I throw all this food in the garage. read more

They hung up before I was done ordering. The food was decent. I ordered chicken Lo mein. The noddles were good but the chicken was weirdly soft. The Bourbon chicken was very good. With any order over $20 they have a deal where you can get free chicken fried rice. I told them to add it and they forgot the rice. The crab Rangoon's were 10/10. read more

Food is good! I like the Shrimp and Chicken Lunch Special Combo. The staff is cool. One of my list of places for Take Out.

I choose three stars because the other two people I are with really liked their food but I did not. I ordered the lunch special-chicken with garlic sauce. There was a ton of bamboo which is a overwhelming flavor in my opinion and the chicken was hacked up and kinda gamey. The pork fried rice that came with my meal was good, exactly what you'd expect from a fast food Chinese place. The other two people ordered general tsos and sesame chicken, neither had any complaints about it. I will definitely be returning and just order something else as the service was good and so are the prices! read more

China 1 - Lunch special- chicken with garlic sauce - Chinese Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

Good and very inexpensive Chinese food! I told them to raise the price and the owner refused. She wants to keep the costs low for her patrons. I am practically there every week for the steamed shrimp and vegetables with a spicy sauce on the side. read more

Best Chinese food in the area. Lots of flavor, always hot and tasty rangoons and egg rolls are all hand rolled and everything is cooked to order. read more

Regular, mediocre. Egg rolls have too much cabbage. Convenient location, cheap delivery but it takes over 1hour 45mins even if you are ordering from less than a mile away and not during rush. I don't understand because takeout is ready in 10 minutes. read more

This is spot I go to when I craving some Chinese Take Out. It's small nothing special on the inside typical take out restaurant. They do have a small dining area too. Their Wonton soup the broth is on point. Wish they had more filling in the Wonton though. I usually get the chicken lo mein and egg foo young. My son usually gets sweet and sour chicken. Love all of it. Their mei fun dishes are good too! Full typical Chinese menu to pick from. So if you are looking for made to order, fast, no fancy fan fare this will satisfy your desires or cravings! Family owned and really nice people too! Love supporting local places. read more

Hands down best Chinese in St. Petersburg. Flavorful, not too salty, always cooked well. Staff are alright too! read more

This is the best takeout Chinese food in St. Petersburg, noting that decent Takeout can be hard to find. Excellent Shrimp with lobster sauce, beef with broccoli, egg foo yong, and wonton soup. I drove all the way from the South Pasadena area to go there. There's a plexiglass counter area, but with a bad buzzing speaker. Food is great for takeout, however. read more

Awesome and traditional family owned and run Chinese restaurant. Solid good food and dependable to be what you want.

For a quick run in and take it home kind of place this is great! Love the staff. Fresh cooked. Traditional flavors. Worth going there for take out! read more

The food here is great, if you can manage to get an order in with the mush-mouthed person on the phone. Every single time I call this place, they have the same person taking phone orders, and it's a constant struggle to understand them when they barely open their mouth to speak. The person behind the phone is also always extremely inconsiderate, rarely even saying anything before hanging up. If you have dogs, meet the driver at the road before they get there, as they'll knock at the door and sprint back to their car if they hear them. Overall, food 8/10, customer service 2/10. read more

Extremely unfriendly service. The woman that works there does not greet you, snatches your card out of your hand, throws your card on the counter instead of placing it in your hand and throws the receipt on the counter for you to sign without saying a word and walks away. To top it off you get your food.... no thank you, have a nice day, come again, you suck, I hate you... just nothing. All of this for bland food. Yeah I won't be back. To the owners if you're reading this- YOUR FOOD IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE RUDE TO CUSTOMERS. Ijs ‍‍ read more
