| - Whenever I had walked from my car to the Dunkin Donuts in the Charleston at Desert Foothills Albertson's Shopping Center, I had been curious how good the Chinese restaurant I had been walking by is. So today, I would give China One a try.
Without a menu outside, I was lured inside the restaurant. When I walked inside, I saw a take out style Chinese Restaurant with some tables. The menu was displayed on a large board on the wall. When I looked at the menu, I saw a similar menu to the majority of the Chinese Restaurants that I have patronized in Las Vegas. The average lunch special (served to 4 PM.) started around $6. The shrimp based entrees were slightly higher priced.
For something in the ballpark of $8.38 plus a $1 tip; I chowed down a lunch special that included noodles with duck sauce (Yes! I did not have to leave my seat and ask for the duck sauce.), egg drop soup (for dining in), pepper steak, fried rice, and chow mien noodles. With the food, I drank from a cup of Coke that is fairly large for a Chinese Restaurant. The food was OK. Nothing sensational where it would make my day if they added a store in my neighborhood, and not bad. My minor complaint is that too much of the plate was taken up by chow mien noodles, which I regard as filler.
The employees were friendly. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. They checked up on me to make sure that the food was good, It was when I was about to leave that left me a positive last impression of China One. When I paid and they were cleaning my table, the nice woman that works there refilled my fairly large cup of soda to drink after I left. In some cases it is the last impression that is memorable. And in this case, the last impression influenced me in giving China One a three star rating.
