You've Got To Be Kidding Me!!!! This restaurant has the nerve to sell Chinese Food? What an embarrassment to the Asian Communities!. I only gave this place a 2nd chance because THE RICE HOUSE IN NORTH PORT is on vacation and closed. I heard they renovated the place and has new owners. My order was House Special Lo Mein, House Special Fried Rice and 4 Egg Rolls. I brought it home, opened the containers and I was shocked! The rice had very minimal color for "Fried"rice and no flavor. The Lo Mein looked like plain cooked spaghetti with non colored, dry veggies thrown in it!!!! I'm from NJ and know what Chinese food should look and taste like. Trust me, THIS IS NOT IT!!! I brought it back and was refunded. That's is for that so called Chinese Restaurant. I dare anyone to go to Rice House and tell me China 1 is better! read more

Several Resturant in the area, however I find China 1, definitely one of the better one in the area. Friendly fast service, food has always been fresh and tasty. Location is very clean. Recommend this one read more

Roast pork fried rice.... horrible. Miniscule pieces of pork, rice had no flavor. A proper fried rice dish has egg scrambled and cooked with the rice in a wok. Tiny tiny pieces of vegetables . Pint container was $7.50!!! Way overpriced, will not visit that place again. read more

I have been a customer for three years and I have seen a steep decline in the quality and quantity of their food. Their egg rolls are tiny and taste like something out of frozen dinner section of a grocery store. Their dishes were so over cooked, the broccoli was like rubber. Their dishes , sesame chicken was little dough balls fried until hard as rock and covered in a horrible sweet sauce..... Very disappointing! read more

I ordered sweet-and-sour chicken with rice. I did not order white rice. The red sauce tasted like water was added to it and it made it real thin and disgusting. It wouldn't stick to my chicken. My order was $18. I want a refund. Will not be back.! I had to throw all of this away because I did not order white rice. I should've gotten sweet-and-sour chicken with rice. The brown rice with the vegetables in it. The red sauce was disgusting. Tasted like it was mixed with water. It wouldn't even stay on my chicken. All this food for almost $18. I don't know how they use the best food in the best meat when I can't even eat it because it taste so horrible. I want my refund. read more

Just ordered Friday 1/23/2026, sesame chicken was hard strings in chicken ? lo mein noodles were brown noodles with no taste? not enough soy sauce ? Prices went up due to cost of food, but less quality of chicken ! probably look for different place next time ! read more

Good food, good quantity, fresh and friendly service. Priced reasonably. Would recommend.

Impressed with food and service. Will continue to order from here. I am surprised by the low reviews for this place, definitely not our experience read more

Nice place but doesn't have the right flavor for the Kung Pao chicken !! And they don't cook the chicken well

We had tried this restaurant in the Publix shopping center near the Wellen Park Welcome Center once before. It was good then but seemed to be even better on this visit. While there are tables and chairs, I believe this is more of a take-out locale. Our lunch specials were delicious! The egg rolls were flavorful and crispy. I had the Hunan chicken which was perfectly spicy served with pork fried rice which was moist and delicious. Both my dish and my husband's chicken in hot garlic sauce was overflowing with chicken and veggies that were still nicely firm. We couldn't believe how much was in one serving. We might have easily split it for lunch. I wish we lived closer as this would be one of our regular stops! read more

Ordered for the first time via uber. Portions were very nice, food did not seem overcooked or stale. Gave us free soup that my wife loved. Price was comparable to other local establishments of similar food type. Will be using again. read more

Good food and friendly service !! I've tried numerous dishes and haven't been disappointed !!

What a great restaurant! We've gotten take out a couple of times now and the food has been consistently well prepared, fresh, light, generous portions for a very reasonable price! This restaurant was a very pleasant surprise! read more

I wanna like this place but man is the food not good. Bummer. Wish Wellen park could get good Chinese like the sushi restaurant across the street read more

This place is exactly what you need if you are carving good Chinese!! Amazing fresh food read more

China 1 - That great food - Chinese Near Me - Venice, Florida

Excellent food and service! They are very friendly! I like the carry out! Will go here again!

Edit: the manager reached out to me and let me know that they have fortune cookies on their counter! Good food! I ordered some egg rolls and pork lo mein to go. Egg roll was tasty and I liked the flavor and texture of the lo mein noodles. I do wish that it would've come with a fortune cookie but overall they were quick and efficient and the food was tasty and hot. Would order again. read more

Clean and delicious. Unique preparations but I really enjoyed their food I'll be back fir more for sure read more

Excellent food and large portions ! Service was perfect! Photo shown is AFTER I ate ! As I stated the portions are enormous and the food was piping hot ! I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

China 1 - My delicious sweet and sour chicken - Chinese Near Me - Venice, Florida

One way I come up with my rating for a restaurant is asking myself....could I possibly (maybe probably) make this food better myself? And sadly the answer for this place is a solid YES. The Kung Pao chicken and Moo Shoo pork were especially blah. The Honey Chicken was a little better (my two year old enjoyed it) and the chicken fried rice was the least favorite of our group - the chicken was weird...I'm just not quite sure how to describe it other than maybe it just wasn't fresh and little rubbery... We all decided we most likely won't give them a second chance. read more

My first impression was not good. I went in the evening and the floor was dirty. The floor looked as it had not been swept or moped in a day or so. There is no ambiance. There is no real barrier between the seating and the kitchen so I could hear everything. A child belonging to the owner, or an employee was loud and moving about. The iPad he was given as a babysitter was inadequate for the task. I did enjoy the food. I had the pepper steak and fried rice. The portion was good sized, but they did use a lot of green pepper as filler. I waited for about ten minutes for my food and took it to go. They did not include any sauce but then I didn't ask either. The woman who took my order was all business. She wasn't friendly but wasn't rude either. I will call ahead to order and take the food to go next time. The food was good but there is no way I would eat there. read more

I always thought fried rice included an egg? Not here. Portion sizes are absolutely ridiculous!!!

This take out used to be a reliable place but lately I find they cut the food up into such small pieces you can't actually find it amongst the huge quantities of rice or noodles. If I order a chicken dish, I want to find an actual fork sized piece of chicken - not a tiny scrap. I ordered a chicken Mei Fun and sifted through it. All the chicken micro-pieces in the entire family sized tub were only enough to fill one dessert spoon. Same with the Moo Shu - it was just a huge solid mess of squished unrecognisible vegetables and a sliver of chicken appearing every now and then. The pancakes that go with it were like tissue paper and tasteless. So - not good enough. I will stay with China Taste by Walmart in Venice who give far better quantities. read more

Tried them for dinner. Could not get the App to take a second choice. So I called it in. There is a very high probability that verbalizing your order will be a challenge with the miriade of selections, sizes, and combinations. Never resolved the App problem even at the restaurant as the employee never used the on line ordering herself. Subsequently When I got the receipt for the order I was given a full order of low mien at $8.95 more than the $2.50 upcharge to substitute it for the fried rice on my Kung Pro chicken combination dinner. They were very understanding and adjusted my order and bill. As for the food, well, let me say they serve very ample portions--absolutely no complaints in that regard. My wife ordered Pork Pad Thai and she was happy with it. My Kung Pao chicken has no tastable spice and the sauce was without a Kung Pao flavor. There was a lot of it but I gave it a 4 out of 10 for taste. Prices are very reasonable. I guess it's worth another try. read more

Not too bad. The guy at the front desk needs to improve his English and also remodel.

Food was fabulous very fresh we had dumplings egg foo yung and moo sho pork it was excellent some of the best we have ever had. Thank you you guys read more

They did not read the special instructions, or didn't care. My $60 order was wrong. You should cook yourself before ordering from this restaurant. read more

Wow this place is underrated. Can't believe it's 3 stars on yelp. Ordered lo mien (huge portion size) and a pad Thai that was absolutely fantastic for a Chinese restaurant. Usually quality pad Thai is found at fusion restaurants or whatever but this place has it trust me. This place is really clean and in a great plaza. Recommend I go here a few times a month. read more

Ordered Generals Tao's chicken combo, sesame chicken, and egg drop soup. The chicken in both dishes was soggy, flavorless and greasy. The sauce was runny and oily, it didn't coat the chicken it just pooled up in the bottom of the container. The egg drop soup was ok. I felt like this Chinese was a bit over priced. I ended up throwing away the majority of the food because it wasn't appetizing. I wouldn't order from here again. read more

I have eaten here before and the food is good. Today I walked in to order and only one worker had a mask on. I walked out and won't go back. Such a shame. Thanks phase 3 reopening. read more

I have tried this new place twice. I wasn't that impressed because the prices were high and the food mediocre. On my second visit I ordered crispy lemon chicken. It came in a takeout container as a bunch of chicken nuggets over a bed of broccoli with a side of lemon sauce for $10.25. Horrible! I will not order from this place again! read more

Their Sesame Chicken was awful. Very dry. Two pieces actually had meat! All breading. Broccoli was completely raw and also dry.

Eat at this restaurant at your own risk. Terrible service and food. Called when half my order never showed up. They argued with me and that was it. The half of the food that I did get was total crap. Ordered 4 dinners all with rice. Received 3 dinner and 1 pint of rice. They said I received my full order. 65.00 of total garbage. read more

One of the best and fastest service I have seen. Would definitely recommend and come back. With amazing and delicious food and a reasonable price. read more

I placed an order online and did not get a confirmation email so I called and explained that I just wanted to make sure that they got it, the lady who answered the phone says oh you have king pao chicken and I said yes but I changed it to tofu and right away we don't do that ok why didn't you call me and tell me that and offer to change it out and charge me a little more no no she just kept saying we don't do that ok perhaps next time you should note it on the website when ordering that additional charges may apply if you change out ingredients. Had them once and it was great figured I would get them again but not after this. read more

Very good service, got my food very quickly and everything was delicious. The environment was very clean and hygienic, which made the experience so much better. Price and quality lived up to my expectations, 100% would recommend! read more

It was edible , but not very good. Like many places, they do not know how to make kung pao chicken. Egg rolls tasted frozen. I would try my luck some place else. Not going back. read more

Appreciate that it was Christmas, and was grateful that we found China 1 open, but the food was uninspired, and in some cases inedible. Food was definitely mass produced and frozen. Sadly we will be looking for a new Chinese restaurant. read more

One star is too many. Had an order of General Tso's chicken. There were only tiny bits of chicken at best. Every piece was mostly just a ball of fat. I think it was also left over from earlier in the day. Was definitely not a newly made order. Would expect more from a new business. Think twice before spending your money there. Very disappointing...won't be back. read more
