Been ordering here for about 3 years. Yes, there's going to be a wait - whether you order at the location, or you order delivery. What can you expect if everything is made fresh to order? I rave about their Chicken Lettuce Wraps to anyone who will listen. Seriously, the portion of their Chicken Lettuce Wraps is huge. The blend of chicken, mushrooms, water chestnuts, and seasonings is very tasty. As a fan of Chicken Lettuce Wraps from BJ's and PF Chang's, this one from China One wins hands down.
I made a recommendation for dinner last night. My daughter was skeptical, as she had never tried China One's food. I ordered food for myself, my oldest daughter, her boyfriend, and my youngest daughter. I think they enjoyed the food as well. Let's just say they had food comas when they all retired for the evening.
So, here's a breakdown of my order:
1. Crab Rangoon
2. Spicy Chicken Wings
3. Pad Thai Spicy Noodles
4. Sesame Beef with a side of Chow Mein
5. Fried Wontons
6. House Chowfun
7. Chicken Lettuce Wraps
8. Honey Walnut Shrimp
9. House Fried Rice
10. BBQ Pork Fried Rice
11. Mongolian Beef
12. Chicken & String Beans in Black Bean Sauce
13. Sliced BBQ Pork
Fried wontons - 12 pieces of crispy deliciousness. I'm glad they didn't arrive with oil residue.
House Chowfun - flavor is great, the flat style noodles were not sticky or overcooked. This dish has bean sprouts, veggies, beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp.
Chicken Lettuce Wraps-if you've not tried their version, do yourself a favor and order it the next time you go. I shared with both my daughters and future son-in-law. I love that the iceberg lettuce that's served with this dish are huge! My youngest stuffed her lettuce leaf like she was making a burrito and although the side sauce was a bit salty to her, she liked it. I used to just order the Chicken Lettuce Wraps and a size of steamed rice and that's how I would eat it. Lol. Hey, whatever works!
Honey Walnut Shrimp - I ordered this for my youngest and she was impressed. She normally orders Panda Express' version of this dish. The shrimp were a nice size, lightly breaded, crispy. The honey sauce was not overwhelming. The walnuts were chopped up a good size not too big not too small.
House Fried Rice-for my youngest daughter-she loves fried rice any which way she can get it. I love China One's House Fried Rice as it's not heavy, not greasy, the ingredients are fresh - they pile the meats and shrimp on this baby! This can even be a meal by itself.
Mongolian Beef-tender slices of beef, sautéed with onions and slices of green bell pepper. Perfect amount of tender beef and veggie crunch.
Chicken & String Beans in Black Bean Sauce-I'm definitely ordering this next time! Chicken not overcooked, string beans had just the right amount of crunch, the black bean sauce is exactly how I remember. Not thick, not runny, not salty. Just right.
Sliced BBQ Pork-I'm on the fence about this. Sometimes, when I order BBQ Pork from other places the taste is a bit overpowering and it ruins it for me. I think the overpowering flavor and the fact that the BBQ pork wasn't as tender as I'd like made me think twice on my choice.
I must warn you, fellow Yelpers. The PORTIONS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD! Seriously, they're HUGE! China One has never skimped on their portions. Hope you're hungry and I hope you have company when you dine so that someone will help you take down all this deliciousness. Nobody finished anything. My oldest daughter joked that it did not even look like she put a dent in her food. I had to make room in the fridge. I joked with the kids that I'll be eating good tomorrow while everyone is gone to school and work. Heck, I'm not gonna wait! I'm going to sneak downstairs and heat up some BBQ Pork Fried Rice.
China One you deserve every star out of the 5 stars! Cheers to your continued success!! read more
