China One

Kind of bland chinese take out. The employees seemed friendly. Other places in MC are better. Can’t recommend.

We like this place. They close late, food is very good, order is ready quickly, they are close to our home, they haven’t screwed up an order yet, and staff is very nice. I think we go there too often… they are really starting to know me there for always picking up our orders.

Finding the perfect greasy spoon Chinese restaurant isn’t easy and after a long day, gourmet noodles just aren’t going to cut it. After reading reviews on some places here in Michigan City, I had originally decided on the Oriental Pearl but was surprised to find out they aren’t open on Sundays OR Mondays so that makes this place already a plus in my book as they’re open all 7 days of the week. We were ordering for an army so we got several things, including the shrimp lo mein, beef and broccoli, beef and pea pods, sesame chicken, and the triple delight. On to the review:
They messed up my order. While I’m sure chicken and broccoli is a delicious choice to some, it wasn’t what I ordered. And the chicken didn’t look that appetizing so points lost there. The shrimp lo mein was very good, shrimp were sizable and the noodles themselves had a very good taste. When this place says spicy, they mean SPICY! I don’t mind spicy food but having ordered from greasy spoons before, was expecting maybe a little tickle at the back of my throat? Not the case so if you’re not a fan of spicy foods, order-​er beware. ALSO– SO MANY PEA PODS! The beef and pea pods was good with a good flavor, however, that’s only when you could find the beef through the never ending amount of pea pods they put in there. I’d like some more pea pods with my pea pods said no one ever. Overall, the place isn’t much to look at on the inside so it’s definitely more of a carry out establishment and it’s convenient that their hours are flexible. Not a bad place when in a pinch as their lunch specials also seem to be generous but I’ll still have to try some of these other places in town.

This place is really great for take out. The staff is friendly. The food is always fresh. They cut the veggies large, and they will adjust the flavor to more spicy if you request it. They have nice vegetarian options.

Family’s favorite place to get carry out. Like many of my friends’ said, it’s the best in town! The young lady that works in the front knows my order the second I walk into the restaurant (you can imagine how often we go). You can never go wrong with Mongolian Beef, Sesame Chicken, Orange Chicken, Crab Rangoon, and Pot Stickers.

i ordered their food for three times and every time are great. I love their Lo Mein and sesame chicken. The vegetables were fresh and just need 10 minutes for them to get the food ready, Wish they can deliver!

Best crab rangoon in town.
Their other offerings have been hit-​and-​miss. I have experienced both decent and poor (cold or underprepared) meals from this small takeout place.
Food portions are adequate, quality has been inconsistent. Still, the BEST crab rangoon in town.

Oh my. My first time and my last. Here’s why: the chicken fried rice only contained rice and bits of chicken that tasted really off. There were no onions, green onions, peas, or carrot bits. It wasn’t flavorless, but the flavor was not one that I want to experience again. Sweet and sour pork usually contains green peppers, onions, celery, and pineapple — this one did not. It was simply fried pork with a side of orange sauce. Blech. I can only hope that their vegetable delivery did not arrive and that this is not the norm, but I’m not going to go back to find out.

Decent Chinese take out. Very friendly and the girl that was working the front was easy to understand, unlike some other take out places. A solid choice.

For the price it is a great option. Food was hot, vegetables were fresh and crisp.
I would go here again, or order take out from them.

We were in the area on vacation at the Beachwalk, and wanted some Chinese food. The Oriental Pearl was closed for 7(!) weeks while the owners were on vacation. This place was also in town, we took the bait and tried it without a review by a Unilocaler… We weren’t disappointed.
This place is a good value (quality per dollar). The food was tasty and very inexpensive! Many large size entrees were in the $ 6 – 8 range. The restaurant has seating, but absolutely no décor — this is a carry-​out exclusive place in my mind.
We had the chow mein, sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, and egg foo young. All were good.
