China One

I am a Chinese food “snob” and this place is legit good! Prices are fair and portions are generous. If you want Chinese take-out on a Friday night than China One will not disappoint 💯

Delicious fresh food like a river of joy flowing down my spine in a busy but friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.

Have eaten just about everything on their menu food is always fresh and hot. If you expect a quick in and out not the place they cook as orders come in. They do offer delivery ,have lunch specials and dinner package that server up to 6 people. Service is fantastic, tables,floors always clean. Food prices I would say are reasonable and more than always enough you'll never leave there hungry!

I gave atmosphere 3 stars only because of their lack of air conditioning, especially in late July (100°). They do have some a/c but not enough to make it cool enough to eat hot food in there. If they can crank up the a/c another 10°. That could work. Otherwise, I love their food. I've had their Singapore noodles, Kung Pao, and house Fried Rice w/ no shrimp- personal preference. No pics of my other dishes, I was so eager to eat....sorry

We only recently discovered the China One here in Temecula. I'm remiss in not finding it sooner. The food is great. Reminds me of local Chinatown restaurants I went to growing up in NY.

It was affordable and had awesome service and food I recommend this place for your family if your looking for a good place to eat lunch

Decent and delicious portions here. Ordered the Mongolian beef and it was really good. The side of rice is very well made and aromatic. Will come back for sure.

I love China One!😋. I have eaten here three times and I want to come back 😃. The food here tastes so good!! Way better than Panda Express. I will pay for China One any day over PE. I have eaten the chow mein noodles cold the next day and it still tasted bomb! This is your authentic home made Chinese food. I absolutely recommend and love this place. I can't wait to try more items on the menu.

I’ve been coming to China One in Temecula for over 11 years, and it is hands down the best Chinese food in the area. The quality has never dropped, and the portions have always been generous. From the classics like beef & broccoli and chow mein to their combo plates with egg rolls, BBQ pork, and wontons—everything is consistently flavorful, hot, and satisfying. You always know what you’re getting here: great food, great portions, and the same great taste every single time. China One is a true local gem and a place I’ll keep coming back to again and again.

We’ve been coming to this Chinese restaurant for many years now. They have delicious food and serves them in big portions. The luncheon specials come with soup and it’s also large size as well. We ordered shrimp with hot garlic sauce during dinner and opted for fried rice. Look at the size! Amazing deal, great food at reasonable price! Highly recommend this restaurant.

First off XieXie to the staff at this place. Brought my wife here for lunch and I have to say I liked it ALOT. For a FAST and VERY TASTEFUL Chinese food joint this is the spot!! They had Lunch specials going on and very well worth the price. I had the General Chicken and everything was freakin' good!! I mean some places I've been to the food all taste the same for some odd reason but not this joint! I mean the veggies were fresh and snappy if that's even a word. The chicken was nice and crunchy and full of flavor. Lunch specials come with Soup and half rice and half noodles. My have had the sesame chicken and she loved it all as well. Oh and the salt and pepper wings were awesome!!! I had orderd a coke for me and the wife to share and they still brought out a complimentary water and ice without me asking for it which I found to be pretty cool. Overall great place for lunch time Chinese food fix! I will definitely be back when I'm in this area. Great food Even better price.

Freshly made food, decent portions and affordable prices. I spend $13 for a fountain drink + a lunch combo. Can’t beat that price. The customer service was great and they came by to give me soda refills. The food was really tasty. I want to say it’s one of the best fast Chinese places i had in years. Will definitely visit again when in Temecula.

Alright folks, I have mood changes faster than a Snowman on the East Coast being Melted and then frozen into a solid rock on a cold winter’s day when I decide on dinner. I have never eaten, let alone heard of this place known as “China One” which sort of reminds me of Star Trek. I can’t explain so don’t ask me…NCC-Kung Pao Me…I don’t know. On to the point of things… This was most excellent and trust me, I have my allegiances around town as I’m picky about my cuts of Chicken and this restaurant met my expectations. I ordered Chicken in Hot Garlic Sauce (I requested Medium Heat to see where it would be as it was my first order), Vegetable Egg Rolls, and Pot Stickers. I will move into the review as I don’t want to read a million words either… As always, the first photos are “As Delivered” with one being completely as delivered and the other showing the food pleasure that is about to be wonderful. Trust me, when I opened it the smell of the heat from the peppers and the food was amazing. If you appreciate a good Salsa that is made right, you’’ without a doubt appreciate this perfect balance of heat and pleasure with each bite. But first, we must proceed to the “appetizer round” of this mystery! I got all excited about the appetizer portion of this meal. The Dog was groaning at me by this point as he smelled it so that means it was great! Holy smokes, while I plated this myself, the quality was excellent. Arrived in perfect condition and flavor was excellent. I do wish there was just a bit more sauce to dip in. I don’t get greedy, but I can see that if you had someone other than one person, that could get complicated. I included a few photos of the Pot Stickers and the Egg Rolls so you could see what they look like. Both were simply just divine to my taste buds. Neither one arrived saturated with cooking oil. I can write a million fancy words about both, but photos say much more in this case. If I were to add a line of context to the photo of the Egg Roll (Shown with Entrée), one could easily say this was perfectly cooked and honestly the Pot Sticker came to the party too. *Rice was perfect. Some folks ask about that* Now, onto the entrée of which I posted multiple photos, which include on the last few a rare sighting of the Egg Roll partly devoured for scientific purposes. Seriously though, the texture in the Egg Roll was excellent and you should try it dipped in the sauce. Back to the point… Not only was the main course all white meat Chicken, but I had specifically requested “Medium” heat as most times it isn’t hot enough for me. They did an excellent job, and you’ll see in the photos that such was the case. They even had a little trick, but I’m not going to disclose that. Respect for the Chef. Genius move as I would have never thought of that. Y’all will just have to order to put the pieces of that puzzle together. Everything about this “Chicken in Hot Garlic Sauce” was just plain awesome. Final Thoughts: I’ve never tried this place, but I WILL be ordering from them again! The quality was excellent! Hands down they nailed everything on the flavors. I cannot quite give enough praises for this place. As it is local, and I’m all about supporting local restaurants, please take the time to give them a try. I don’t think that you’ll be disappointed!

Food is good, restaurant is clean and modern. They have nice ambiance. The only problem I had is they only have plastic utensils and no large ramen soup spoons so I had to use the laddle to eat. They also don’t have small porcelain soup cups so I had to eat out the large bowl and it was messy. I don’t like to use styrofoam and that is all they had for small bowls. If they upgraded the utensils and dishes would be better eating experience. That is why I took away 1 star for atmosphere. I don’t like to transport my food in step foam either cuz it leeches into the food :( such a cute restaurant they loose high quality restaurant status with plastic and styrofoam only.

Great chinese food at a decent price point and the service is great! Food choices and plentiful and they are all cooked made to order, packed full of flavor. Not many great chinese food choices in this area, so this is a must eat at spot if you love good chinese food.

Food was amazing bought 3 dinners fed 5 of us big portion and delishhhh

Had lunch at China One yesterday and it was such a great experience! I ordered the chicken lettuce wraps and the salt & pepper pork chops — both were delicious and perfectly cooked. The service was what truly made the visit special. The girls working there were so kind, friendly, and attentive. They brought us some freshly steamed mantou (soft Chinese buns) — warm, fluffy, and absolutely delicious — and even surprised us with a cute instant photo to remember the moment! 📸 One of them noticed I’m a Seventeen fan and started playing their songs during lunch — that totally made my day 💎 Delicious food, great atmosphere, and the kind of thoughtful service that makes you want to come back. ✨ Highly recommended!

This place is great! Great food, great price. I bring my mom here once a week. Thanks for the amazing service.

First time at this restaurant, and have to say the food was fantastic, service, friendliness and cleanliness was great also. They have a great selection of items to choose from. The restaurant is a little small, from what was noticed the capacity is around 25 guests. Service was quick if you plan to take out. The cooks seem to be very experienced. Looking forward to visiting the restaurant again. I would highly recommend this place. Will update with photos next time.

Grate food at a good price. It was really hot in there restaurant though I think their air is broken.

First time trying the food. The sea food soup and walnut shrimp were my favorite. House noodles were a little bland.

I love this food so much, the taste is so freaking good and it's hard to not stick to the same thing but when you try other items on the menu it's hard to not make that your only choice again!

I've been to China One many times when I'm in the mood for quick, good tasting Chinese food, and they never disappoint. I know the pictures I will include with this post will look somewhat generic because of their presentation in take-out boxes, but that doesn't take away the fact that everything was delicious! Give them a try if your cravings point you in China One's direction! 👍🏻

My 6 yr old looooves chow mein. Glad to have this restaurant close by. Parking wasnt so bad for a Friday with people going in for early dinner. Service is fast. Our orders were freshly cooked and still smoking hot when served. Our server was nice, efficient and attentive.

Food is made quick and a lot of their stuff tastes great. I love their crispy fried noodles and chow fun. Their mu shoo pork is one of my favorite along with the bamboo beef. Its fairly affordable here and it can get very busy for to go.

Not the best I've had but a good feed. The crab Rangoon were hardly cooked and full of oil- not crispy at all. Won't order those again. Honey walnut shrimp had more of a fish batter on them than the usual light crispy of other honey walnut shrimp and there were only a few walnuts on the dish. They can skip the cabbage on the plate. Sautéed mixed veggies were good and the seafood combo was fairly tasty. House fried rice had a lot of goodies in it. Enough food for another meal, that's for sure. Their service was fast and efficient.

Very tasty food. Just wish they would stop messing up my orders. I ordered a meal for 6 on 3/27/2022 (Order #87) and when I arrived was handed a box with my food. I requested extra mustard for the appetizers. Got home and they did not include the $15 in appetizers with my order and no extra mustard. I was charged. Pretty disappointing. That was a big miss and not the first when I have ordered from this place.

This place may be good for takeout, but was not the best in town. The Red Ginger is far more better. The service was poor. Didn't even give us a bill, had to go up and ask. No refills were offered.

1st time here and the food was good nothing special. Pricing was really good because of the lunch specials. One thing I didn't like was the fact that they had a few flies l, I noticed this after we had ordered. The customer service was great.

Affordable Chinese Food, good for take out orders. Restaurant is small so large group dinning is not recommended.

Affordable Chinese Food, good for take out orders. Restaurant is small so large group dinning is not recommended.

Delivery: fourth time sweet & sour pork sauce forgotten. Pork was fatty and grisly. Hot and sour soup was sent in a small container not as usual. Overall this is the last time we’ll use this restaurant

First time here. Everything good. No complaints. Quantity = good Quality = good Price = good Cleanliness = good Friendliness = good I had the kung pao chicken. Just enough spice and plenty of flavor is why this is the goto dish. Second time here. I walked out. I ordered the lunch special. Don't remember a drink coming with that but the girl kept asking me what I wanted to drink. I asked her several times if a drink comes with the meal but she kept giving me a dirty look like she didn't understand what I was asking. She pointed towards the soda cans. I asked if there were any other options since all I saw was a can of coke and a can of sprite. I didn't want soda. But after seeing the Mexican cook behind her listening and smirking, I decided not to trust the food he was most likely about to make. Usually this is a great place but looks like they need new helpers here. Walked out.

The beef and broccoli was the worst I ever had. I threw it away, and I really hate wasting food.

Cashier not helpful even told her it was my first time there. I ordered the house chow mein without beef. The chicken and shrimp in it was gooey, noodles were sticky. The dish was flavorless. Worst I've ever had. Never going back

25 min wait for orange chicken and only 2 persons already waiting inside for their food. Kinda want my money back. There was 5 cooks and slow plus one cook was mixing the noodles with his hands then putting into our plates. Who ever got a bowl today at 11:35 am hope you don't get sick. He was mixing the noodles in your bowl for a bit.

Incredibly rude woman at the cash register. Not worth the wait! Mediocre food quality in styrofoam packages for dine in. Great place if you want to smell like burnt garlic the rest of the day.

Poor service. Unable to take orders correctly. Make sure you make them repeat the order at least 3-4 times. I made her repeat it twice and she still got it wrong. Spent over 70 dollars and even tipped them on take out too. Double check your food, no matter how tedious it is. Also when I called the owner, he made me drive back to the restaurant, just to have me speak with the same girl. She told me she didn't make a mistake and if I wanted the missing food, I will have to pay.

Terrible. This place was recommended and I also went by the reviews. Ordered Chicken Teriyaki, garlic shrimp and Chow mein. Chicken was old and hard as a rock. Chow mein was made with thick spaghetti noodles!! No flavor. Won't go back, so unsatisfactory.

I know this is a small business, so I truly feel bad writing this. However, my experience ordering from this restaurant was quite poor. I wanted to give them a shot for the first time after seeing some positive reviews online, so I ordered the salt and pepper pork chops, fried wontons, and house fried rice. While the prices weren’t cheap, I decided to splurge a bit on dinner. Since everything I ordered was a staple for a Chinese restaurant, I assumed it would be tasty. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed. The small portion sizes were very shocking. When I opened the pork chops, I couldn't believe the quantity. I am only one person, and I expected to have leftovers for days; instead, the order consisted of about one good-sized pork chop cut into five small pieces. Beyond the portion size, the taste was very off. The pork chops tasted as if they had been deep-fried in cleaning supplies. I have no reason to lie—something was seriously wrong, and the meat tasted foreign. Or maybe it was an expired pork chop? The fried wontons were decent, but they were flavorless without sauce. I specifically asked for extra sweet and sour sauce, yet they only provided one small container for 12 wontons. As for the house fried rice, it was loaded with different meats and shrimp. You would think it would be packed with flavor, but it was incredibly bland. I actually had to use some of my limited sweet and sour sauce just to give it some taste. It is now the next morning and I’m feeling pretty awful. My goal isn’t to trash a small business, but I’d suggest staying away from the salt and pepper pork chops and knowing that the rice is mediocre at best. Food is expensive these days, so I thought I’d share my experience.

Ordered the Mongolian beef lunch special. It literally had like 5 thin slices of meat and the rest vegetables. I always order this and they are definately skimping out their portions now. Bummer

The Crab Rangoons had NO cream cheese inside of them. DRY. Noodles were overcooked and melted like baby food in your mouth. Also there was an insect leg in my food. HIGHLY disappointed and disgusted. I’m pregnant and the fact i ordered this from door dash and spent 50 dollars and now i have to either wait for new food or go get more food, with no refund is crazy. unacceptable.
