" Had a family gathering and decided to order from China 1. The food arrived on time, but the portions were smaller than expected. We enjoyed the sesame chicken and rice; however, my father found hair in his meal, which really ruined the experience. It was an unfortunate situation, and I don't think we'll order from there again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ordered carry-out, and despite the food being reasonably priced, it just didn't hit the right notes. The wonton soup was salty, and the mei fun had a strange aftertaste. I think there are better options within a short driving distance based on my experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" While there are many options out there, there’s something undeniably comforting about a plate from China 1. I usually go for their orange chicken, but recently I tried their hot and sour soup and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor! I think they are improving slowly, and hopefully, they keep it up! " (*Curated Review*)

" China 1 has some of the best egg drop soup I've ever had! It's always hot and fresh, and the flavor is on point. I usually grab it for lunch when I'm in a rush. However, the main dishes can be hit or miss; sometimes the meat is overcooked. I would recommend sticking to the soups and appetizers for a reliable meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone after my experience. A friend said it was great, but when I ordered, it took forever for my sweet and sour chicken to arrive, and when it did, it was cold and tasteless. It's very disappointing—there are far better options out there. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've ordered from here a couple of times, and the egg drop soup and fried wontons are solid! However, my chicken lo mein was bland, and it felt mostly like filler ingredients rather than actual chicken. I would recommend sticking with the appetizers since they've been good every time. " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits, I have concluded that China 1 is reliable. Decent food at a fair price with a friendly atmosphere. While I would like some consistency with the quality of the dishes, it often satisfies my cravings for comfort food when I don’t want to dine out. It isn't perfect, but it works for me. " (*Curated Review*)
