China 1 is Kentwood's best Chinese restaurant, hands down. It is operated and staffed by the owners. You need anything adjusted, changed, modified...they are happy to accommodate. They are so nice, and they will remember you each time you come in. I have been going here for 7 years, and never ha e been disappointed. Their lunch buffet is delicious and has a great selection. Highly recommend the sauteed string beans, shrimp with vegetables, crystal chicken, etc...YUM!

I love China 1! It's a bit smaller than most lunch buffets, but the quality of the food is consistently good and the staff is very friendly - they even remember you if you come in on a regular basis. The lunch buffet is very reasonably priced and when I asked for a fortune cookie, I got 10! I go there at least every couple weeks, and so do a bunch of coworkers. Awesome place, hands down.

I have been here multiple times and the service has always been great, the people who work there are always incredibly kind and always have a smile on their face which creates a very welcoming atmosphere. The food is a bit on the pricier side but it is very worth it considering I would say this is some of the best chineese food I've ever had. High quality food, and good workers, a wonderful establishment.

I go to this restaurant at least once a month. The buffet is great. The best I have ever been to. They are the only to go buffet that includes soup. Only problem is their egg drop and wonton soup are so good I have to get two Buffett’s so I can get both and eat it over the next two days with my daughter. Everything is tasty and reheats just great
