“ Food is consistently delicious and well packaged. Workers are friendly and quick. 100% recommended!! ”
“ I've got to be honest here. I have lived in 13 states from east to west coast and outside of the west coast and Chinatown in NYC or Boston it's hard to make any recommendations here. I try to avoid places with pictures of the food on the wall menus. That said, China One does a few things well and I give it high marks relative to many of the other local Chinese take out spots. Wonton soup is good but rather plain, house special fried rice is tasty, house special chow mein is good.m, dumplings are sometimes a tad undercooked but they are quite good. Overall the meals here are good, just not Chinatown caliber and no where near the west coast upscale Chinese restaurants. ”
“ Katana was great. Very nice, helpful, courteous, knowledgeable. They were very quick to make my food, I was a walk in. I will go back ”
“ Have lived in this area since 1999 and this restaurant has consistently provided the very best service and food since it opened. The food is always excellent and ready for pickup when promised. The owners and employees are hard workers with terrific professional attitudes. I look forward to seeing them and enjoying the fresh delicious food they prepare. ”
“ We get takeout from here at least once a month, everyone in my family loves it. Recommend the dumplings and beef sticks, yum! ”
“ Always timely, great flavors, they customize your order if you want things spicier or with more curry. Consistent with their quality, overall the best Chinese takeout in the Julington Creek area ”
“ Sent my son to pick up food and when he returned I couldn’t wait to dig in. I grabbed a plate and started eating. I couldn’t believe how great the food was! I haven’t had takeout like this in a very very long time. Definitely will be ordering here again!!! The sweet and sour sauce is the best I’ve had! ”
“ This place is normally five star food if you order tonight 2/7/25 be careful because the bone in ribs are all dried out. I already called them and the owners aren’t there and no one‘s there and they didn’t really seem to have a handle on what was happening and certainly did not care about my complaint. I know that they served me day old food and they heated it up. It didn’t taste disgusting, but it tasted dried out and old. So just a warning usually their food is good so I only took off one star I hope that the chef comes back and I don’t have to have this happen again because I’m not gonna pay $11 for ribs that are all dried out. Update - I had to take off 1 more star: the next morning I heated up the 6 steamed dumplings. They were mostly dough. The insides were crushed or shredded chicken - a very teeny tiny amount - Definitely not worth $8.50. So I spent almost $20 and I feel as if I wasted my money. This place used to be good. No more. I wonder if their is a new owner. ”
