I’m one of those people that only goes to Chinese places for orange/honey chicken and, as a Charleston native, I’ve been to numerous Chinese places in the tricounty area. China Master takes the cake, not even close. I wasn’t even in the mood but they got me with a free sample and to my complete surprise I experienced a fried chicken that was audibly crispy and yet so tender while not being overly sweet. From one “Chinese chicken” connoisseur to another, I can not over hype this place. My eyes are open and I’ll never see the world in the same light ever again.

I have only been in Charleston for about 2 yrs but this is my favorite quick place for Chinese style food in town. Reminds me of the food back home in the DC area. The Honey Chicken is my go to and it never disappoints. Best 8$ plate in West Ashley

Great food at a great price. They will pack full a take out container for <$10 if you get two meats and a side. For first timers I recommend honey and bourbon chicken, with green beans this is the best place to get Chinese in charleston!!! Anyone who says otherwise IIs probably just angry about other things. I have never once been disappointed in all the times I've been here, and I've been coming here for about 2 years. Keep up the great work!
