China One used to be excellent 5 or so years ago.  But, somewhere along the 
line it went downhill and it's not so good anymore.  It's okay, but not 
nearly as good as it used to be.

China One, but unless they've got one of those secret menus they only 
give to the Chinese customers, I didn't really find anything all that 
interesting there.

Of course, there are others who used to swear by that little chinese 
place down near Woodcroft/Garrett Road (is it still there, even?). And 
still others have raved about the joint next to Kroger at 
54/Fayetteville Rd.

I don't really keep an extensive catalog of chinese takeout joints in 
the Triangle; in fact I've sort of edited that subsubgenre out of my 
diet, pretty much. I can say that if you're looking for something 
interesting & slightly different (and not really takeout-y, I guess), 
then Eastern Lights over behind [former] South Square is worth a visit. 
The handmade noodles are good, and the rest of the menu isn't just the 
same 10 dishes as everyplace else. I think they're chinese/korean, which 
would explain that, but I don't quite recall.

As I think I mentioned earlier in the thread, the N&O's Greg Cox has a 
weakness for chinese & he's a member of the China One chorus. Go to the 
advanced search on triangle.com/dining ( 
http://www.triangle.com/cgi-bin/trianglecom/dining/search_restaurants.cgi 
  ) and search on chinese & sort by # of stars.
