China One

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!

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 is one of our favorite Chinese restaurants in Temecula. The rangoons actually have crab in them! They include a good ratio of protein to veggies in many of their dishes and they don't seem flooded in sauce while still having plenty of sauce. Have ordered from them multiple times and will like order from them again

I usually love this place, but am so disappointed. They messed up my order so I drove back to get it re-made. They were nice enough about it, but when I got home, it was the same! They did include my rice this time (the first order came without any rice). I couldn't eat it, so had to toss it. Also the phone was not working, so I couldn't contact them.

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.
