Overall it was really good food then only thing I would Change is the decor, and just the overall ambience of the place and another thing is for three it was 50 dollars and we didn't get the most expensive stuff. Not sure it was worth the price but I think they're still a work in progress and need money to remodel and such

Stopped by this place looking for Chinese and they didn't fail. We got the combo dishes, Sweet and sour chicken for my wife and. Chicken and Broccoli for me. My wife changed the rice to chicken fried and I went with the white. Also came with an egg roll. We added the crab Rangoon to our order. The food was pretty good and the order was large. We got all of this for around $25.00. Get this in the fore mentioned cities and it will be quite a bit more. Visit the small towns and save some money and you get better for less.

Last week I was in Goodlettsville for business and I saw China Cottage in the same center. It was lunchtime and I went in to see what was on the menu. I opted for this dish that was mainly bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, a few scallops and sliced beef in a brown sauce. While it was tasty, I thought it would not stand up against any of the Asian cuisine I was used to eating in the San Gabriel Valley. I would return because it outshines any of the Chinese fare I have eaten in the White House area. I truly enjoyed my meal; it is just hard to measure up against where I came from.

I have a few go-to Chinese spots around town, but was in the immediate area recently and wanted to scoop dinner up, so I made a call to China Cottage and about 20 minutes later I had to goods. I ordered the classics of sesame chicken, house fried rice, wonton soup and an egg roll. All were tasty, not the best, but certainly far from the worst. Portion size is huge here, I mean they pack the containers to the brim. Food was also clearly cooked to order as it was still piping hot when I got it home and opened. Space inside is decorated as you would expect. They have a good size dining room with booths and tables, and even have a few seats at a small bar near the entry way. The place was clean, and well kept. Service was friendly and helpful from the phone to pick up. Overall, solid experience at China Cottage. Definitely worth adding to the rotation.

On the continued search for our go-to Chinese food spot, we may have found it…read more China One has online ordering and in-store pickup which is very convenient for us considering they're a short drive away. We ordered fried dumpling, wonton soup, egg drop wonton mix soup, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Vegetable Chow Mein, Beef and Broccoli, and Sweet and Sour Chicken. It wasn't quite ready upon pickup but we did order a lot. Everything was in the bag except they forgot the chow mein noodles, so it was just the brothy vegetables for that meal. The restaurant is very much what I remember in the 90's. The menu with pictures on the wall have lost their color, there are a few tables and chairs inside, and almost zero decor. It's nostalgic; all they need are almond cookies (where are the almond cookies around here?!) The food was delicious and gave us exactly what we were looking for...comfort. The fried dumplings were phenomenal and I'd honestly stop by just for those. China One is Americanized Chinese food, of course, but it's very good! The fried rice is subpar and needs seasoning, something all of the Chinese restaurants we've been to here in TN so far, have in common. If we don't find our go-to Chinese place, we are more than satisfied with China One being it!

I wound up in the ER because of it and our little one was throwing up the whole time we were in there too. I tried to call them today, just to let them know (I'm not mad, just wanted to keep others from getting sick) and she hung up on me the first time and then just kept saying No! no! no! NO! when I called the second time. Tried to tell her we weren't mad, just didn't want others sick and that they need to check on whatever chicken they use for their teriyaki chicken and again she just kept saying no and then hung up on me again. So, consumer beware, they clearly don't care about the customers well being.
