China 1

Cheap food, cheap quality, dirty store if you’re into food poisoning then by all means. Everything tastes like it was fished out of the Hudson River.

I’m no Chinese food expert by any means, but they’ve always met our expectations for a quick and easy fix. They have online ordering which is extremely convenient and efficient. Delivery times are very quick and their drivers are friendly.

For starters, this is delivery Chinese. It’s not a fine dining restaurant so please ignore the food critics on here. I am extremely impressed with the online ordering. It’s by far the best online ordering I’ve ever used which is nice since it can be difficult understanding someone on the other end when calling in if you get my drift.
The order confirmation said to give them 55 minutes and they were here in 20 minutes on a Saturday night. Once again, impressed.
I ordered Sesame Chicken, Orange Beef, House Lo Mein, and deep fried Potstickers. They threw in a free order of Crab Rangoon I suppose since it was my first time ordering from them. Definitely a nice touch. My 1 year old inhaled the Lo Mein and I found it pretty good. Sesame Chicken was typical Sesame Chicken but more tender which I like. Orange Beef was just weird. Weird taste, weird texture. Potstickers were okay, I’ve had better. Crab Rangoon was good. I will probably order from there again but would like to try a couple others out in the area first. If you are looking for quick, decent Chinese with a very convenient ordering process, then I recommend China One.

Nothing special but great in a pinch. clean, friendly and tasty.

I went back and tried a few of their main dishes like the chicken lo mein and general tso’s chicken and was let down.

A few nights ago, my friend Danielle and I were in the mood for Chinese so i bought her dinner.
I’m not a huge fan of Chinese food because it is usually prepared really greasy, I really just prefer Thai or Vietnamese food… But I got a «large» order of broccoli and tofu which was just steamed with a healthy «fruit sauce» and it was a fucking HUGE order. I think Ive gotten about 3 dinners out of the carton and there is still more than half of it left.
How ever, it gets only three stars because its just standard Chinese delivery. Nothing amazing, nothing bad. Didn’t impress, but didn’t disappoint either.

This restaurant was recommended to me by my cousin who is from Troy when we moved to Cohoes. She said be sure to get the General Tso’ chicken, boneless spare ribs, chicken broccoli and sweet sour chicken. So we did. Needless to say, we totally enjoyed the experience. It was certainly better than other Chinese restaurant what we tried in this area.
My husband and I will definitely go back to this restaurant.

China 1 (formerly named the Red Lion) moved into another space (former Pizza Place) two doors down between Subway in the same strip plaza. The atmosphere is a typical order at the counter strip plaza eatery with an open kitchen. My buddy and I have ordered Chinese takeout here on several occasions. The Chinese food here is pretty good including the sesame chicken, shrimp lo mein, and BBQ spareribs. They offer 32 Lunch Specials ($ 4.25-$ 4.75) which are served Mon-​Sat (11AM-​3PM) come with pork fried rice and choice of soup, egg roll, spring roll, or can of soda. The lunch portions are generous for the money. The Special Combination Platters ($ 6.15-$ 6.95) served with rice and egg roll also a good deal too. The service here is good and we’ve gotten our food in about 10 – 20 minutes. The overall food is about 3.25 stars.
