China One

Ordered teriyaki chicken, chicken wings, fried wontons, and sesame balls for delivery. Delivery service was great. Every item except the sesame balls looked and tasted like it was leftovers from the day before yesterday, reheated, and stayed in the warming tray under a lazy heat lamp waiting to be dumped into styrofoam containers. Unappetizing. Inedible. Lazy. I have no phucken clue how and why they could remain open for business when so many great eateries in Long Beach closed due to the pandemic.

I ordered food to be delivered. Waited in our lobby for it. It never arrived at the time I requested. I tried calling and the machine said they could not take calls. Wasted my lunch break waiting and now I have to go in person to get my refund. The first time I picked up the food. It was overpriced and I told myself I would not go back. I was craving chow mein so I decided to have it delivered. Will not ever try them again. They could at least call me or email me and let me know there was a problem delivering it!!!!

About a little more than a year ago, I first visited this place. The quality of this food was to die for. I would always order the fried shrimp dinner special. I cook as a hobby. Quality: fresh shrimp that was battered and fried to perfection. Golden, crispy, and juicy. Served with grilled onions and pineapple. (1)Large portions put in a white styrofoam container. (2)A large cup of very warm sweet & sour sauce. You were able to drizzle it over your shrimp. (3)A large olive cart of amazing moist and fluffy white rice. This was delicious. It was less than $15. It was worth every penny. I went somewhat often. Mentioned it to family as well. However, a couple months later the quality diminished. The once perfect, fried shrimp was now shoved in an air-tight container. All of the steam collecting in their and rendering the fried shrimp’s batter to mushiness. Also, the sauce was put in it beforehand. No crunchy casing with juicy shrimp in the middle. How unfortunate..... Possibly there wasn’t enough time to produce quality food like that as the restaurant gained more popularity. The kitchen is quite small. TL;DR: Used to serve the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Was worth $15, every penny, for a dinner plate. Quality fell. Hope they’re able to being it back.

I use to order about once a month from this restaurant. Tonight I ordered Wonton soup, chicken fried rice, and Mongolian beef. Total came to $46.00, yet, just a coupe of weeks ago this same order was $25.00. When I questioned the pricing the gentleman on the phone said “ do you want the order or not?” Therefore, I will never order from this location again. The food isn’t worth $46.00, otherwise I would have paid it without question.
