I had a wonderful lunch here today! I ate the garlic chicken and cheese wontons. The meal came with a free veggie roll. The workers were very kind and attentive. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor — and the prices were very affordable. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Chinese food and friendly service!

I love this place. I live in Lompoc and any time I have to go to Santa Maria, I come home with their food. Best I've had in the area and the staff are super friendly.

First time in today. I only came in for shrimp chow mein, and I was wonderfully impressed. The store was clean and efficiently stocked, kind and courteous service, food was packed to the brim, amazing job on the actual flavour of the chow mein, and overall just super satisfied with my experience. Totally worth $7.95 and I’ll definitely come back!

It is a fast food place, plastic utensils. However, the food was exceptionally good. We will be going there again.

I usually get take-out and go see my Mom. We enjoy each other with a Chinese dinner and catch up with what's going on with each other. Great meals at a reasonable cost. Always made fresh and hot! Only wish when you ask for a vegetable dish to be cooked soft, I still have to cook them longer to make the vegetables softer for my Mom. She has no teeth. Their food tastes the same as described for each dish ordered every time! Great people and their service is always outstanding!

Wanted to try Chinese food out in the area…wasn’t too impressed with the take out and had hair in the noodles. Wouldn’t get again.

Friendly staff but that’s as far as the positives go. General Tso’s chicken is simply not edible. Awful food.

We only ordered the fried rice and chow mein but neither were good. They both tasted and smelled like old oil and besides that they lacked any other flavoring. I tried adding the sweet and sour sauce but it tasted like viscous oil and the hot sauce was no better, tasting like chemicals. Towards the bottom there was a ton of dark flavorless oil making the rest inedible. On the bright side the workers were nice!

My experience with china one was very disappointing. I ordered $50 plus worth of food, which I ordered take out through their website. I got, 2 different combination, it included soups for an additional charge. Some spring roll as well. I got a phone call shortly after, saying that the restaurant does not accept credit card online therefor I will have to pay at the restaurant, which I absolutely did not have an issue with. I arrived at the restaurant and was greeted by a very aggressive male that said I have to pay which I said yes no worries, someone called and told me. He presided to sound irritated as he spoke Chinese to 3 other people. I payed for my food, but ended up waiting 15 more min for it. I realized they didn’t cook it until I actually arrived. They gave my food and when I got to my car I checked the bag, because I noticed it was small for all that I ordered. That was when I noticed that the soups I payed for were not in the bag. I went back and asked about the soups I showed them the receipt from their website showing there was soup included. The same aggressive male, preceded to say no soup included even after I showed the receipt. I was irritated so I just went ahead and say ok could I please order 2 soups then. After getting home, I unpacked everything that was when I noticed which was really the last straw, they made 2 of the exact combination. And that was what really prompt me to write this review. I ordered my food at 8pm and they closed at 9pm and that is the only thing is can think of why they were acting the way they were, and why they didn’t completely make my order. My suggestion this that old man that is just very aggressive and mean needs to not work the front. He gives off a very toxic aura to the environment and I could tell he probably is either the owner or the head chef. To top it all off the food was not good. But it could be because they rushed it or just didn’t care because it was an hour before closing I also suggest to close at 8pm if your quality is going to decrease anyways.

Food is horrible! The chicken chow mein noodles are pastey in texture. The egg young has large slivers of meat instead of small pieces, is very GREASY and soggy.. the gravy for them is very watery. The chicken fried rice is flavorless. I can taste the MSG in it. I’ll try to doctor up the rice tomorrow but everything else is going in the trash. GROSS! We had a similar experience 10 years ago but thought we would support a small business close to us. Never again!

I will never eat at this place, walked in three people standing around no customers in the place. Place my order and go to give my debit it wasn't a credit card it was debit, and they so oh sorry we don't take credit cards, really since when he said cash only and shows me a little written paper taped that said cash only. Come on debit is cash but I guess they didn't want to work! So I walked out never to return!

Horrible service. The atmosphere was that of a broken home to a group of future divorcees on house arrest, and my presence was a rude distraction from their prayers for each other's deaths. I ordered a dish that was advertised as containing sliced king crab meat, chicken, beef, & pork. What I got was cold chunks of imitation crab and thin slices of tri colored "meat" in a congealed mystery liquid. ⚠️ Eat here at your own risk....you've been warned.

Been hearing the food is not good here! Always look for the Sign that shows A-F grade food. If they dont show it. Don't eat there....

I was being nice and gave China one star when they should get no stars! I have given this restaurant three attempts, and out of these three attempts their food was the lowest quality a human being could ever eat!!!! This is by far the worst food my family and I have ever eaten!!! My husband gave them another try! Still serving their worst products at high prices! I dont know what that was, but it wasn't chicken! All rubbery and chewy! I find it gross and disgusting how they serve the lowest quality foods and expect customers to eat and pay their prices!
