China One

The reviews are so bad I felt like I had to leave one. I am originally from NJ, home of the best Chinese food anywhere. I stopped here after grocery shopping, and paid before I read the reviews. I got home terrified of what I had done. The food isn’t THAT damn bad. Yes, the pork fried rice has no pork. But it’s actually decent anyway. We got chicken and broccoli, the chicken wasn’t slimy at all and the sauce had flavor. The sesame chicken was orange-ish, and a lil spicy for sesame but again, pretty good. The egg rolls were good, and crispy, and the oil on it didn’t taste bad at all. Either y’all are dramatic or they did better. The lady at the window was so so sweet.

I’m new to the area, this was my first and last time visiting China One. I was extremely disappointed. First of all the menu was lacking they don’t have items that all Chinese restaurants have on the menu. You order through a window and the kitchen is all the way in the back. You can’t even enter the restaurant beyond that window. It’s weird. Second, the food wasn’t authentic they add some red sauce to give it color/flavor. The combination sesame chicken comes with pork fried rice and a egg roll. Not mine it was yellow rice with onions! That was cold, like just came out of the refrigerator cold. My daughter said the tiny egg roll was ok!
This is the worst Chinese Food I’ve ever had. Look at the sesame chicken, why is it pink/orange?

The food is okay, standard quick eats.
Lo Mein was too greasy, and the sauces lack a bit. Fried stuff is usually a bit soggy, but flavors are okay.

Dining room has been closed off since COVID, and still is. Lady at the carry out window is very nice and respectful. Not bad if you just need a quick bite.
