" Recently had a meal at China One, and while the ambiance is nothing to rave about, it’s down to business with comfort food. The staff were efficient and the food, while satisfying, isn’t what I remember from traditional Chinese. The chicken in my dish was tender but lacked seasoning. Still, the portions definitely made up for what was missing in flavor. I might consider going back for the quantity alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited China One with a few friends and was surprised by how much we enjoyed it! The food was fresh and hot. I tried the fried shrimp, and it was the best I have had in a while. Portions were massive, and we all left with take-home boxes. The atmosphere is relaxed, not particularly fancy, but comfortable enough for eating in. I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tonight's meal of Kung Pao chicken at China One simply was not good. The chicken seemed old, and the sauce was far from spicy. The atmosphere is better when you eat in, but the food quality is what keeps me from wanting to return. I may give them another chance once, but I hope they step up their game soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I wouldn’t call this authentic Chinese cuisine, it definitely hits the spot when you’re craving Americanized Chinese food. The portions are massive! I've never left hungry. Last time I went, they had a special on sweet and sour chicken which was a highlight. They are not fancy but provide consistent food that keeps me coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolute gem for late-night cravings! I love that they stay open late and offer such hearty portions at an affordable price. While their food is good, I've had better in terms of authenticity. Still, on the whole, China One is perfect for grabbing a quick bite that fills you up. " (*Curated Review*)

" When craving Chinese food, China One has always been my go-to for takeout. Excellent service and large portions make it worthwhile. That being said, the food itself can be hit or miss; the last time I had fried rice, it was on the dry side. I still recommend it for an easy dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" China One has all the makings of a classic takeout place with a twist! I've enjoyed a variety of their dishes and each time, I’m pleased with the portions. Their specials keep changing, which keeps things interesting. Service is straightforward, and while not particularly fancy, it's a reliable choice for Chinese food near the university.
