Best chinese food in the area by far. I havent had a dish I was remotely disappointed in. Most places in the area have dishes that only hit one part of the palette that I look(sweet, savory, spicy) for in American chinese food. 123 chinese manages to perfectly hit where I feel the dishes should be. The sichuan dishes arent just peppered beef or chicken, the chef hits the numbing heat sensation that is supposed to accompany dishes of this province perfectly. The general tsos is the only one in the area that doesnt taste and feel like chicken cooked in sugary ketchup water. The chicken is cooked proper and crispy with the sweetness up front and the heat on the back-end. Dont even get me started on the pan fried lo mein. If you areally looking for the status quo go to any other resturant in the area; they are all the same. If you want a dish how its supposed to be eat here.

I just visited this place yesterday afternoon and there is a African American man that cooked my Chinese food and it was disgusting. There were no Asians in this restaurant and the food is horrible. I am so so unhappy with my food. I ordered shrimp fried rice it had a burnt after taste. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and white rice and the rice didnt look fresh or steam the chicken was cut up after he fried it to preserve money to make it look like there was a lot. Beef and broccoli and it was bland. I wanted some real Chinese Food and this was not it! Coming from Virginia and born and raised in Cleveland this is not CHINESE FOOD when I tasted it. I went by the reviews thinking this was a good place and boy was I wrong!!!!!! Will not come there again. NOT WORTH MY MONEY I never complain about food but this was HORRIBLE! DONT waste your time.

Reason for 3 star, Ive eaten at many chinese restaurants throughout the U.S. and this place clearly needs work, for starters the sweet and sour sauce is watered down, reason, so they can make their supply last longer so customer can deal with mediocre taste of the sauce, 2nd is the sesame chicken has no flavor, 3rd is the rice tasted burnt. Staff was friendly and only reason they got a 3 star, and all of you who are talking this place up need to get out of town and try a different place before you rave about the only place you have eaten.

Hands down the best Chinese food in the area! Chris runs a one-man show and is beyond friendly, everything is cooked to order and hell make it however you like. The portions are big, and the price is cheap. His Chinese is killer, but he also makes the best burger in town, as well as some other great American grilled food. The only downside is that with only one man to run the shop it can take a while, but the wait is definately worth it. If you can try to avoid going in during noontime and the service will be top-notch.

Best Chinese fast food around. We ate there for the first time last night after reading the reviews and wanting to try something different. Lots of dining room if you want to eat in. We were taking it home. Portions are a little smaller than other Chinese restaurants but the food is better by far. It is very fresh. If you like water chestnuts and bamboo shoots, you are out of luck. They do not use anything from a can. Best egg rolls we have had in years. Will definitely go back.

So disappointed!!!!. Despite a few bad reviews I went to this place for lunch. I got the sesame chicken and it was tasteless and smelled like peanut butter and the eggroll was bland and greasy. On the plus side the restaurant itself is really nice inside and super clean. the lunch prices were reasonable but the food left ALOT to be desired. I more than likely wont go back--ever.

I love this place! Some of the best vegetable fried rice I have ever had! They use natural ingredients, sometimes directly from local farms! Love that. The owners always have a friendly face and good conversation. They are well traveled and very knowledgeable about good cuisine from around the world.

I have been visiting 123 for a long time. This is the best place to order asian style food around town. Chris has been is an excellent chef and is very personable. If you are looking for hot food, look no further. Visit today and and check out the heat chart on the wall!

Ordered from here a few months ago and we loved it compared to all the other Chinese places in the area. Food was very good and if you order something thats supposed to actually be spicy, its spicy!

Would give it soooooooo many stars. The best around. Hands down. Their general teams is actually spicy like its supposed to be. So spicy that everytime I order it they remind me its a spicy dish.

I do not have a favorite dish because all selections are my favorite. You get a lot of food for the price. Hands down the best Chinese / Korean food in Elizabethtown and Hardin County.

Unexpectedly the Worst dinning experience. Contrary to the high reviews we wont be back. From a dirty dinning room, to rude service & being told they had no chicken choices.

The food is made fresh to order and is pretty good. For the most part expect counter service. The customer service is not that great. A fairly standard Chinese restaurant.

Best kept secret in Etown! The freshest made to order Chinese, cooked by an amazing cook. The egg rolls alone are worth the trip.
