Review China 1 - El Paso

Been wanting to try this restaurant. The food was good, tried the pepper steak and the general TSO chicken. This is definitely a take out place, dining room is non existent. There seemed to be one only one guy working, he took the order cash me out and cooked the food.

It's my first time to make a pick up order in this restaurant and it's great! Food was madely fresh, affordable, great portion and my order was packed nicely. Will definitely order again! I ordered combo kung pao chicken with pork fried rice and beef broccoli with pork fried rice. Both combo orders come with an egg roll.

So conveniently located it’s easy to order and pick up your meal. The service is fast and the food is plentiful. It has all your common Chinese platters and food is exceptionally good. The owner and cook is Straight Outta China which has perfected his cooking abilities to bring you fast quality delicious plates!

First time trying China 1. Im a huge Chinese food lover and moved here from Las Cruces trying to find a place that could top my favorite place out there. China 1 did just that. Everything was made fresh and tasted amazing. Will definitely be coming back. 😁

Delicious food! The egg drop soup was delicious. And definitely recommend the beef and broccoli and fried rice and spare ribs. They serve good portions. Came here last minute and so glad I did

This is my go to place for Chinese food. We like the beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, beef lo mein, steamed pork dumplings, cheese wontons, wonton soup, egg drop soup, egg rolls, kung pao chicken, and hunan beef. The kung pao has a perfect fire punch.

Delicious take out food!

Super delicious food. Best I've tried in El paso so far! Only take out. They don't really do dine in

My wife wanted Chinese for Christmas, and I decided to give this place a try. It was decided on a whim based on which restaurant was open. I arrived explaining my situation that it was my first time here and then proceeded to ask what they had recommended, and the nice lady (who appeared to be the strong daughter of the family) suggested either the Hunan beef or the General Tso's Chicken. This place serves a lot of food, and I think I accidently ordered too much. For roughly ten dollars, they serve 1 choice of meat and an equivalent portion of either fried or white rice. My wife wanted Hot & Sour Soup, Chow Mein, and an equivalent of Panda Express' Beijing Beef. I ordered Hot & Sour Soup (large), Combination Lo Mein, and Szechuan (I believe that this is Cantonese for Sichuan) Beef. She liked all three, and I will be coming here again. I also ordered their Hunan Beef and General Tso's chicken. I remember watching a YouTube video a long time ago, that the General Tso's chicken is the equivalent of the Chinese-style American dish for non-Chinese. Being a banana myself (while my phenotype is Asian, I am a white person on the inside), this GT chicken became my guilty pleasure. The Hunan Beef, when compared to the Szechuan Beef, tasted sweeter according to my wife. They had exceptional service, and now I know next time to order ahead. Thank you China 1 for giving a first timer like me a great Christmas dinner and making my wife happy :)

Everything was great except the sweet n sour chicken pieces were dry and kinda of hard

This is a value oriented Chinese restaurant. That being said, don't knock it until you've tried it. I ordered the lunch General Tso's chicken with fried rice. It was great for $7.85. The food was freshly made to order. I definitely recommend.

Haven't been here in literally 3 years, food still doesn't disappoint. Reason for the 4 star was to the extra oil on some plates. Fixing this will gain my 5+ stars! Will recommend n will be coming back soon 🔜

Always delicious, fresh, and more affordable than competing stores, with generous portions. Although they have many delicious options, my favorites are the 48. Sweet and Sour Chicken (battered and fried; comes with large portion of really good sweet and sour sauce), 12. Fried Cheese Wontons (best I've found in the city), 19. Wonton Egg Drop Soup (they mix the two soups and it is very filling, inexpensive, and delicious). Plus the ability to substitute lo mein noodles instead of white/fried rice as a side on any plate (it's a $1.95 upcharge, but the portion is huge). I highly recommend this amazing restaurant! I get take-out regularly by calling ahead (and they always get the order correct), and have also had it delivered via DoorDash.

I love this place. I go every chance I can. I love the Tso chicken and the Hunan chicken. Omg the fried rice I'm inlove My daughter loves the dumplings an the fried rice. So much flavor in all their dishes. Excellent, I do recommend this place. Also what I love is they can do the food with non spicy that's also a Plus. Never going to change China1
