During a recent visit, I enjoyed a delicious lunch at a local Chinese restaurant with a vast menu selection and a clean atmosphere. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the friendly staff made the experience even better, ensuring I would return for takeout again.

I've been doing the China 1 take-out for several years and I never had a negative experience. Their food is always delicious and hot. Their egg rolls are very good too. Food portions are always generous and always friendly service.

I visited this establishment about 2 days ago after visiting the majestic "Banks Lake Nature Preserve" in Lakeland Georgia. My girlfriend told me that the place had been open for twenty years, so I figured, why not? Big mistake on my behalf! Being my first time there, I inquired of the owner, what was their specialty? The female Chinese woman confidently stated "Sesame chicken or general Tso's" Seeing as I love General Tso's I took the owners recommendation and chose that option. Upon examination of the chicken, I noticed an artificial red colored sauce as well as an artificial putrid smell. Upon tasting the monstrosity, I was equally repulsed as it had an artificial disgusting taste. To make things worse, the chicken tasted pre-frozen and was overcooked. The sauce tasted like an imitation Chinese jam. I could tell that nothing was fresh and this general Tso was an imposter. To substantiate my claims allow me to expound on what a superlative general Tso should be...First you need to make the plum sauce from scratch with fresh plums and sugar making a reduction. To add kick use fresh diced spicy red peppers and lastly use fresh fried chicken pieces. The aforementioned is the abridged version as a little more goes into it. I can picture a sketchy Chinese factory producing this poisonous, artificial, insipid syrup with no regulations nor concern for human health, slapping a sticker on it that reads "General Tso's" in Chinese lettering and shipping it oversees to unsuspecting Americans. Egregious, duplicitous and downright distasteful! By far the worst General Tso's chicken I have ever eaten in my entire life! To make things even worse, I was constipated 2 days afterwards with stomach discomfort. I begrudgingly tried to feed it to my dog and the dog wouldn't even touch it...it was that bad. I'm appalled that the owner recommended such a horrendous meal! Worst Chinese food I've ever consumed!
