China 1 - Cross City

Always great food with large portions. Minimal wait.

If I could have only colored maybe,and I mean maybe the tip of the stars arm.

The food is delicious! Ive had the China one in Cheifland and its not as good as this China 1 in Cross City!

The wait is terrible. 1 hour to make a dish. I've been here multiple times because the area is very limited, and it just keeps getting worse.

Seriously, just wow. Not that this is amazing kind of wow but rather wow, what in the world is going on back there Went in to order take away. Ordered. Was told to go away for a while, it would take about 30 minutes. Our order was ready an hour later. It was not nice and hot but rather lukewarm. We ordered spring rolls, I don 't know quite what those 6 drab, tasteless, small rolled up things were but I can 't call them spring rolls We ordered wonton soup. I have never seen a broth that color; it was almost neon. Yellow Orange neon like. Amazingly it was completely tasteless and odorless. The wontons were also a yellow/orange color and the texture was, well, let 's just say the wonton stuck to my teeth like glue. Not appealing or appetizing. We ordered shrimp with lobster sauce. I will say that the shrimp were large and cooked well. I will say that there was no ammonia smell or taste. That is where the good part ends. I love shrimp with lobster sauce but hated this. The consistency of the lobster sauce was, well, it made me gag. It reminded of certain bodily fluids, thick, clear and very viscous. My husband compared to 50 weight motor oil. There were tiny peas and bits of carrot and packed any bits of pork. I tossed in the disposal. Next, we tried the pork fried rice and pork lo mein. There is so little to say aside from dismal, tasteless, overcooked rice and pasta. Honestly, I feel terrible for the people who define Chinese food based on this place. It is, literally, the only game in town. Chinese cuisine is full of layers of flavor, bright and fresh ingredients, and an amazing array of spices. This, this was simply a travesty. Shame on them.
