I must have driven past China One hundreds—if not a thousand—times and never stopped. As a loyal customer of another Chinese takeout spot in town, I never had a reason to. But tonight, after a quick trip to Lowe’s (because somehow, I always need something from Lowe’s), their menu caught my eye.
At first glance, they have all the usual American Chinese favorites, but then I spotted a few dishes I’d never seen before—General Tao’s Shrimp? Double Cooked Pork? And they let you swap lo mein for rice with the dinner specials? Now we’re talking.
If you looked up “hole in the wall” in the dictionary, you’d probably see a picture of China One. From the outside, you’d never guess that behind the simple storefront is a surprisingly spacious, brightly lit dining area with just a few tables pushed up against the walls. When I walked in about 30 minutes before closing, all three staff members greeted me like I was a regular. I ordered, and 15 minutes later, I was heading out the door with a piping-hot bag of food.
Now, onto the good stuff.
The shrimp egg roll? Easily the best-prepared one I’ve had in Charleston in a long time. Not the best ever, but definitely what I’ve been missing. But the real star? The steamed dumplings. These things seem made in-house—juicy pork wrapped in a thick, chewy dumpling skin that’s got a nice bounce to it. Delicate? No. Delicious? Absolutely. And they are filling.
For my entrée, I went all in and ordered the Dragon and Phoenix (which, honestly, sounds like a slot machine). It’s half General Tso’s Chicken, half Hot and Spicy Shrimp. I subbed in Orange Chicken for the General Tso’s, and it did not disappoint. The shrimp were big and had just a mild kick, while the orange chicken was saucy, crispy, and perfect over rice.
I’ll definitely be back. And if you’ve been missing Corina from that other place that’s gone downhill, you might want to give China One a shot.
