The customer service was non existent. We walked in and we were not greeted or given menu for about 5 minutes. There were only set of other diners there. So it was not like they were busy. The food was ok. The temperature was very hot which is important to me. The vegetables tasted fresh but the fried rice was not good. Over all we will not be rushing back to this place, as my wife would say. read more

One & One Chinese Restaurant - Garlic Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Arnolds Park, Iowa

Arnold's Park, Iowa Clean inside. Steady business. Major problem communicating with wait staff. They don't speak English very well. Trouble communicating what food allergies I have. Beer is bottle only. Soda is from a fountain. Lots of food choices on the menu. We ordered the cashew chicken and had our choice of steamed rice or fried rice. We also had the combination Lo Mein. Food came out Very hot! Cashew chicken had bite-size pieces of chicken with chunks of carrots, celery, garlic, cashews, and onion. My flavor was good but very salty. The celery was cooked to perfection. It had the most wonderful crunch. The Lo Mein lacked flavor. It had very little meat and no veggies, other than a few sliced carrots. My husband disliked the Lo Mein so much that he said it was the worst he has ever had. Look at picture of bone/gristle that was in his food. I give this place 3.8 stars read more

One & One Chinese Restaurant - John and his #15 lunch special. Mine is #14. - Chinese Near Me - Arnolds Park, Iowa

Speedy service for party of 9 Sunday dinner. Kung pao dlight right amount of spicy and loved all the vegetables. Kids liked sesame and orange chicken. General Tso chicken and sweet and spicy triple delight also a hit. Bright clean space tables and banquet seating available read more

I love that this restaurant has Singapore. Whereas a lot of other Asian restaurants do not.

Always love it here!! Fresh, fast, && very polite staff!! They know all my orders by memory!!

This is the best Chinese restaurant in the Lakes area. The portions are decent, the price is a bit high, but the lunch specials are spot on. The General Tso's chicken has a bit of spice to it which is hard to find out here. Other restaurants versions here seem to be way too sweet. We've found the service to be a bit... aggressive. Not exactly sure why, but the servers seem a bit standoffish whenever we go. The interior isn't glamorous by any means, but it's not bad. It's a pretty standard Midwest Chinese restaurant in that sense. All that may seem like negatives to others, but when it is one of the only decent Chinese restaurants around the Lakes, it's enough. read more

Pray, allow me to extol the unparalleled magnificence of One and One, a most extraordinary establishment nestled in the picturesque town of Okoboji. Words, I confess, may fail to adequately convey the rapture one experiences upon stepping within its hallowed walls, where a most delightful symphony of aromas beckons the senses and promises a banquet of unparalleled indulgence. The staff, gentle and attentive, are ever at hand with a grace befitting royal attendants. Their kindness, matched only by their swift and courteous service, enhances the very spirit of the dining experience. Every morsel, as if by the hand of an ancient culinary master, is prepared with an artistry that bespeaks centuries of perfected tradition. The offerings upon the menu are nothing short of celestial. From the very first bite of their exquisite appetizers, each dish sings with the harmony of flavor and texture, the likes of which the gods themselves might have dreamed. The Kung Pao chicken? A veritable triumph of balance between sweet, savory, and a delicate touch of spice that doth set one's heart alight. The General Tso's Chicken? One could not ask for a more resplendent union of crisped skin and tender flesh, the essence of decadence in every bite. Even the most humble of rice and noodle dishes emerge as masterpieces, elevated by ingredients of the finest provenance and prepared with an unparalleled reverence for the art of Chinese cookery. As to the ambiance, One and One doth truly transport one to another realm--tranquil, yet vibrant; sophisticated, yet welcoming. The delicate interplay of soft lighting and harmonious decor creates an atmosphere that is at once serene and enlivening, ideal for both quiet contemplation and merry celebration. In sum, dear reader, to dine at One and One is to partake in a rare and glorious experience--an affair for the senses, an elevation of the spirit. If fortune smiles upon thee, may thy path lead thee to Okoboji, and may the doors of One and One open to thee, where a banquet of delights shall await thee beyond thy wildest imaginings. Five stars, without hesitation, for this treasure of a restaurant, and for the artistry and joy they bring forth with every plate and every smile. read more

This was one of the best meals we had while visiting Okoboji / Arnold's Park. Definitely a nice change from burgers and bar food. Service was fast, even with a large takeout order. read more

Quick, friendly, efficient. Great to go or eat in option in the area. Nice change from the repetitive good in the area.

Everything is always perfect and great customer service! I recommend the hot and sour soup for sure

Great food and service. On par for major cities. We got beef with vegetables, cashew chicken, orange and sesame chicken. All excellent

Food was good. And price was far $28 for king pao triple deight with white rice, chicken chow mein (hard noodles) with white rice and stream dumplings. My only issue was I wanted the regular chow mein with the soft noodles, and didnt realize that they call it chicken lo mein (soft noodles) read more

So like everyone else I read the comments and they sounded sooo good so why not... do yourself a favor just DON'T. GO TO Hibachi 88 instead. We went in and the environment isn't great there is NO privacy at all. The seats are so close together and you can hear everyone else's conversations. The service was fast and quick and so was the food. The menu isn't that great.. now keep in mind I'm comparing this place to Hibachi 88 in spirit lake. No kids menu at all. The soda wasn't good at all. Their hot and sour soup was gross I left it there. My husband had their combination lo mein and it was SWEET!!!! The places wasn't that clean their menu wasn't very good the food wasn't good either I would not go back. If you want the atmosphere and the quality in food and overall just a better experience go to Hibachi 88. No I don't work there I have been there multiple times and every time I'm impressed!!! Merry Christmas read more

Great little find in Arnold's park! Food it fresh the resturant in clean and the service is quick! We love this little place!

Stopped in for take out. Surprised by the beautifully appointed interior... (don't let the exterior light green with burgundy castle top scare you away!). Check out the beautiful, clean fish tank with pretty fish, and the interesting wall decor. Very quick service, too! We had out to go order ready in 10 minutes. Great fresh food at a good price. read more

Food is above average, service is quick, and you get a lot of food for a low price. It's probably the best place for Chinese in the area..

This place is really good and not expensive. I got a side of rice, soup, crab Rangoon, and Mongolian beef for $7.95! Plus it was ready super quick too. read more

Very good food and prices...ate lunch there and was amazed at the large portions. Service was prompt...meals came very fast from the kitchen hot. Not the friendliest bunch but not unfriendly and was prompt with refills..and very business like. Would recommend this highly to everyone. read more

Nice place inside...good portions of food..Kids loved their food. Good flavor and good prices will keep me coming back when I'm in okaboji

Best Chinese food I've had. Great prices for a lot of food. Definitely recommend garlic chicken or any of their combination plates!

Best Chinese restaurant in the Lakes area. We have eaten there too many times to count and the food is always good and consistently good. Staff is always prompt and friendly. read more

Great food and service. We eat there once a week. Egg rolls and all of the soups are excellent. Shrimp and snow peas is our favorite main course. read more

We had a stopover in Spirit Lake and went for a later evening search for dinner. This was a wonderful find. War wonton soup was perfect. The broth was flavorful. It was filled with seafood, meat and perfectly cooked vegetables. If we lived close to One & One, it would be a weekly stop. read more

Very tasty ! My favorite is the Szechuan Combo. Large portions of quality food. Sauces are spiced perfectly. On an average night, the food was served very quickly and very hot, right out of the wok. Service was pleasant, but nothing special. IMHO, the best Chinese restaurant in the Okoboji area ! read more

Good location, clean, fast service or takeout. Excellent food and lots of it!

We went in on a recent trip to boji, all the vacant tables were dirty and there was a bus boy that clearly didn't care about his job. We waited about 10 minutes even though there were several empty tables. Once we were seated we weren't given menus and no one came to take our drink order. After at least five minutes I finally went up to the cash register and asked one of the two employees for menus. Five minutes later someone finally took our drink order. After we received our drinks the staff disappeared again. We waited fifteen minutes then I through ten bucks on the table and we left. Honestly the worst service I have ever seen, anywhere. I can't rate the food because we never even got to order. read more

Absolutely the best Chinese ever. My favorite is the Walnut Shrimp!

Was good large portions sesame chicken was a little in the sweeter side but was still really good
